Cleaner Shoes for a Better Planet

We’re on a mission to make the world’s cleanest shoes. We’ve been on this journey since we started. We call it Consciously Created.

This Is How We Consciously Create

Harvest Materials

We use harvested materials, like webbing made from post-consumer plastic bottles and outsoles made with agricultural waste. Fewer resources, less impact.

Source Ethically

We care about the communities that make our shoes. Putting people and planet first involves every step in the shoemaking process.

Detox the Planet

We're removing harmful chemicals from our shoes and have been PFAS Free since 2018. No forever chemicals here.

Make for Life

We think the most sustainable shoe is the one you can keep wearing. We find innovative ways to make shoes more durable, comfortable, and versatile.

01 Harvest Materials

We try to take less from the planet by harvesting waste and upcycling it into comfortable KEEN footwear. Fewer resources, less garbage.

04 Make To Keep

As shoemakers, we’ve always believed that the more durable, comfortable, and versatile a shoe is, the less you’ll need to replace it. Good for you, good for the planet.
