Driven by a passion for life outside, KEEN is a values-led, independently owned brand from Portland, Oregon, who are on a mission to make outside inclusive and accessible to all.

Founded in 2003, it launched a revolution in the footwear industry with the debut of the Newport adventure sandal and has continued to launch disruptive products and establish new standards for performance, comfort, and design. It continues to create game-changing products today, while actively working to Detox the Planet.

KEEN’s Detox the Planet Initiative was established in 2012 to take proactive action to identify and remove harmful chemicals in its supply chain and replace them with safe and effective alternatives. Committed to eliminating everything that shouldn’t be in their products and discovering eco-friendly alternatives, KEEN’s manufacturing process is PFC free, uses an anti-microbial odour control approach and they only partner with environmentally preferred Leather Working Group certified tanneries. They are also increasing the use of upcycled and recycled materials for a more circular product life cycle, along with other processes to lessen the impact on the planet.


By consciously creating their products, giving back through grant funding and donations to grassroots and non profit organisations and taking action by activating communities and individuals to protect the places they work and play, KEEN puts its values in motion to leave the world a better place. Learn more at keenfootwear.com.

For Autumn/Winter 2021 KEEN proudly present their most diverse collection of their iconic outdoor slipper – the Howser. The perfect antidote to Autumn’s cold and inclement conditions, this iconic hybrid blurs the line between house shoe and outdoor slipper, providing warmth and fit that works whether you’re strolling through the park, relaxing on a camping trip or chilling at home. Designed to comfort your conscience as well as your foot, the collection features a wide range of sustainable styles and colours featuring recycled PET or recycled wool uppers.

Consciously created to keep the environmental footprint to a minimum, all styles feature a pesticide and chemical free Eco Anti Odor treatment that uses natural probiotics that keep feet fresh but are totally safe for the environment. A fleece lining gives comfort and warmth, whilst a high traction rubber outsole leaves no mark wherever you roam.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
