Protecting Toes with Sandals was the Starting Point for KEEN
We would like to learn from the story of how the KEEN brand started. Taneda tells us about the circumstances of the brand's start and the founder's thoughts."KEEN is an outdoor footwear brand that was founded in 2003, with its headquarters in Portland, Oregon, USA. By 'outdoor', we mean everywhere without a ceiling, including not only camping and trekking and outdoor festivals but also life in the city.
