The unique range of Keen footwear started out in 2003 when Martin Keen and Rory Fuerst were inspired to create a sandal that would also protect the toes. The outcome was the Newport which has since become a classic. "From the Newport, Keen created a company built on hybrid innovation, redefining the outdoors and giving back to the community."

Keen believe in encouraging everyone to create, play, and care – what they call ‘HybridLife’. Keen’s ‘Hybrid.ology’ concept is to design footwear which eliminates the effects of anything that comes between you and your HybridLife. Hybrid.ology ensures superior fit, extra durability, unending comfort and exceptional performance.

Keen’s ethos of caring has been proved by distributing more than £3 million to non-profit organizations since 2004. With limited resources and widely different goals Keens Hybrid.Care™ partners have paved the way for change through community, education and understanding. What these organizations share is a philosophy of caring, conscience and sustainability. What they've already given back is invaluable.

Today Keen produce an extensive range of innovative Sandals, Shoes and Boots for a wide range of activities.
