Keen Outdoor Sandals, Casual Shoes, & Hiking Boots for Everyday

Combining the greatest features from sneakers and sandals, KEEN has been building shoes to solve problems since 2003. Before founding KEEN Footwear, Martin Keen was an avid sailor. While sailing, Martin grew tired of stubbing his toe while working on his sailboat in the slim and stylish sandals of the time. 

He  set out to solve this problem by creating his own rugged outdoor sandal. His design used real foot shapes and a widened toe box for more room and comfort. Soon he added a rubber-capped front for added toe protection, and an aggressive rubber sole for slip-resistance. His new shoe remained light and breathable, with added bungee laces and top sandal straps for easy on and off. 

Martins new shoe was a revolutionary hybrid offering the protection and versatility of a sneaker and the breathability and water resistance of a sandal. This first pair of shoes he named the KEEN Newport water shoe, and it was an instant success that remains popular today. 

In the decades since that first shoe, KEEN has continued to innovate and push boundaries with revolutionary new hiking shoes and boots, open toed outdoor sandals, durable work boots, and a full line of children's shoes. KEEN has become particularly well-known for their shoes designed to never need a break in period.

All KEEN shoes are built with unique footbed contours that make the shoe immediately comfortable while also keeping your foot in place. The KEEN midsole and outsole are designed to create an amazing base for stability and have a perfect balance between being both firm and giving at the same time. KEEN has amazing footwear for any season, any place, and any adventure.

At OutlandUSA.com we love KEEN and own many pairs ourselves. We choose to wear KEEN because it's hard to beat their style, durability, breathability, and comfortable fit. Some of our favorites are the Men's Targhee II, Women's Newport H2, and Women's Terradora II. If you have questions about sizing, see our FAQ's and sizing chart below.

 Questions & Tips

Q: I want to wear my KEEN both on land and in the water, which pair should I choose?

KEEN has quite a few waterproof and quick drying boots and sandals.

The Newport Sandals and the Newport H2s have a squishy, soft neoprene upper ( straps). Those straps helps dispense the shoe's pressure and are very quick drying. The open sides allow water to flow in and out, while the stable rubber sole allows for longer day hiking. Other quick drying sandals are the Venice, Whisper, Clearwater CNX, Uneek, and Bali Strap Sandals.

The KEEN water resistant boots are some of our favorites at OutlandUSA.com, including their newest women's outdoor boot, the Terradora. The new KEEN.Dry waterproof breathable membrane has shown to really keep the wearers feet dry even when walking through 3-5 inches of water. Other water resistant boots include the Targhee II, Oakridge, Durand, Gypsum II, and the new Men's Aphlex.

Q: Do KEEN footwear accommodate narrow feet?

Yes. The Keen Newport, Newport H2, Venice, Venice H2, Laguna, San Sebastian, Copper Canyon and Arroyo shoes all feature an adjustable bungee cord lacing system. The bungee lace system cinches securely over the top of the foot. We encourage you to try several pair to determine which works best for you.
