In December we released our Christmas Staff Picks, a recap of our team’s favourite KEENs throughout the year. Now, with summer officially here (depending on the day), it’s time for the Spring edition of KEEN staff picks.

Two cords & a SOUL

"My adventure partner, always!"

– Dylan,

KEEN Retention

Why Dylan loves the UNEEK:

“I picked up a pair of UNEEKs after I finally convinced myself they were fashionable.. This spring, they travelled with me to Glencoe in Scotland, and found their perfect use. We had a gorgeous stream next to the campsite, and taking a paddle was just too enticing – the UNEEKs kept me from slipping and meant the rocky bottom didn’t hurt my feet at all!”

The Rugged Comfort Hiker - Targhee IV

"My no-worries hiker for those long days on the trail"

- Ben, KEEN Paid Marketing

Why Ben loves the Targhee IV Hiking Shoe

"The Targhee IV shoe is my go-to for weekend hikes and adventures in the Peaks. I love the shoe style as it’s the perfect mix of rugged protection and mobility. Whether I’m scrambling over rocky trails or navigating muddy woodland paths, they keep my feet supported and dry. Plus, they’ve got that classic outdoor look that works just as well at the pub after a long day out.

Women's Elle Backstrap Sandal

The All-Summer Sandal - The Elle Backstrap

"The most comfortable sandals I have ever owned!"

- Michelle, KEEN Fan Services

Why Michelle loves Elle:

"These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever owned, I got these last summer and walked everywhere in them, even though they are an open sandal I didn't have to keep stopping to remove stones which was a blessing. I did miles in Norfolk! I love these and would highly recommend them."

The All-Day, Anywhere Sneaker - Jasper Zionic

"My go-to for . . . pretty much anything"

-Brendan, KEEN E-Commerce

Why Brendan loves the Jasper Zionic:

"After eyeing them for far too long, I finally decided to get a pair of Jasper Zionics. They instantly became my go-to for... pretty much anything. They’re perfect for my daily walk to work, a day out, or just running errands. Super comfortable straight out the box, and they somehow manage to look good with everything. No regrets—just wish I’d got them sooner."

The Do-Anything Hybrid Sandal - The Newport Retro

"I bought my new Keen sandals for an upcoming hiking trip to Santorini, and I couldn’t be happier with them. I’ve already taken them out for a few test walks, and they’re incredibly comfortable—lightweight, supportive, and perfect for warm-weather adventures. They’re exactly what I need for exploring rugged trails and scenic paths this summer, and I can’t wait to put them to the test on the island."

- Alberto, KEEN Design Team
