Default Keen Footwear. Everything that's right with America's Corporations

We recently struck a deal with Keen Footwear as a sponsor for our program.

I am really impressed with their attitude. They don't want empty recognition. They don't want lip service. They want people to genuinely dig their stuff. And, they want to do good for people as first priority.

They've already donated product to Haiti and Japan and other places. They opened a factory in Portland. These guys get it. And the shoes are damn nice (been wearin' them for years).

Now we get 'em free!

But more importantly, it is refreshing to work with a company that is actually sincere about corporate responsibility.

Now our toes will be comfy in the jungle!

I wonder why they have only 4 pairs of shoes( 2 mens and 2 womens) that are made in the U.S.
Are they going to move all production to the U.S. ?

My wife loves them and has three pairs, I think.
She was talking about some new design that she wants the other day too.

All I know is that you can throw them in the washing machine.

Because it is difficult to do. I don't know what they will do in that area but they are on the right path.

I don't know of any other companies in that space that make anything in the U.S.

It looks their apparel like socks are made in the U.S.
I wish you both luck in your future endeavours.
