Keen Shoes

If you love the outdoors but crave comfort as well Keen shoes may offer you a pleasant surprise. Keen is a fairly new company founded by a former footwear designer for Nautica, Tommy Hilfiger and other brands. Keen shoes are shoe/sandal hybrids that are supposed to embody the best of both worlds. That means rugged functionality for the trail or sidewalk and carefree breathability for summer strolls. Keen shoes are made for busy men, women and kids who want comfort and versatility on the go. Online is the best place to go for a large selection of Keen shoes.

Sporty Sandals
Keen offers a number of low sandal styles. The Trinidad and Antigua are available for both men and women, while the St. Barts is for women only. All three models have a fairly traditional uppers made of polyester. But a number of interesting features make Keen sandals special. Toe guards protect more, chunkier more sporty mid-soles support more, soft EVA footbed technology cushions more and rubber outsoles provide more traction than the common sandal. Keen sandals also employ hydrophobic technology to repel water and allow quick drying.

Sandal Shoes
The Keen Boulder, Monterey, Vancouver, Taos, Portland and Newport models can all be worn pretty much like regular shoes, but in reality they’re high top sandals. The clog-like Vancouvers are designed specifically for women and the Taos and Hood River are only for men, but the rest are available in sizes for both sexes. Pull toggle closure and non-marking carbon outsole provide good grip and fit for most models. Uppers are made from webbed synthetics or waterproof and all are designed for use both in and out of the water. All have soft EVA cushioning. Keen sandal shoes are great for beach-combing, boating and general everyday comfort.

City Shoes
Keen shoes are aimed at the outdoors crowd, but designers know people can’t spend all week in the mountains. The Keen Banff, Bronx and Boston are lace-up shoes great for the city but outdoor friendly. Perfect for urbanites who battle the elements on their bike to work, these shoes over comfort and class but retain the more innovative features of Keen sandals including toe guards, rubber outsoles, water resistance and removable footbeds. Keen also makes high quality clogs.
