Its patented closed-toe rubber bumper defines the Newport hybrid sandal, alongside the UNEEK cord sandal, Jasper sneaker and Targhee hiking boot. The company remains privately held and independent, and pushed further into fashion through 2025 collaborations with Paris label Études Studio, Gramicci, Madhappy and Tokyo brands SNIDEL and emmi, mostly reworking the Newport and Jasper.

How Keen fits
Does Keen run big or small?

Keen fits slightly large. Most people do best going half a size down from their usual sneaker size, especially in the Newport and Jasper; stay true to size if you have a genuinely wide foot or plan to wear thick hiking socks. KEEN footwear is widely described as running slightly large and notably wide, with a roomy toe box that suits broad feet but can feel sloppy on narrow ones unless you drop a half size.
