Good luck and Happy Trails!
It’s not just about where you’re going, but how you get there. With the Ambler, featuring a semi-sticky active-traction rubber sole and moisture-wicking textile lining, you’ll get there in ease whether it’s steep single-track trails, a pile of boulders or while dodging cacti.
Snowshoe Magazine recently tested a pair of the Amblers and had the following to say:
The Amblers are simply awesome walking shoes, no matter the terrain. I’ve taken them from the Bruce Trail to rail trails to the concrete canyon and jungle of downtown Toronto without even a hint of a problem. That’s impressive to find a shoe that adapts that well to such diverse conditions.
They’re extremely light as well, always a plus, and do well in wet conditions, although I wouldn’t call them a true amphibious shoe in the genre of the KEEN Cimmaron set I also own.
I truly think that, depending on your needs, you just can’t go wrong with these shoes. Now get out there and give me five – miles, that is.
Pick up a pair for yourself here.
May is national small business month, a time to recognize small businesses, the people who run them, and their contributions towards creating jobs and driving economic recovery. Small Business Month has been celebrated since 1963.
This month is also a great time for small businesses to evaluate their internal wellness programs and calculate the cost:benefit ratio behind bringing recess into the workplace. Is your small business taking recess together? Let us know what you’re doing for an opportunity to be featured here in a blog post.
If you haven’t started a recess program and are looking for help, begin by reading our Case for Recess letter from CEO James Curleigh, then take the Recess Readiness Quiz, and finally, check out the Recess Jump Starter for ideas you can easily implement now.
You can also check out our full Recess Toolkit here. How will you bring recess to your workplace?
A number of flyers promoting a 4-square tournament were recently hung up around the office here at KEEN.
After much anticipation, the big day finally arrived and the line to play began filling up.
The competition was fierce and the stakes were high.
During National Bike Month, we’re celebrating all forms of biking, including mountain biking. So hop on that saddle and start training because come July, you’ll want to be ready for Cycle Burn Challenge.
Cycle Burn Challenge is a charity event and competition, open to all mountain bikers of all skill levels. The challenge is simple: you and your riding buddies crank out as many mountain bike rides as possible in 32 days. To give your riding a purpose, the challenge involves partnering with LIVESTRONG to raise donations and awareness for the fight against cancer. At the end of the event, the team in each division with the most ride points is crowned champion.
Check out the registration page, FAQ page, and rides page for more information. Will you take the challenge?

It’s that time of year. The trees are full of leaves again, the birds are singing, and the flowers are blooming. Not to mention, National Bike Month is here! For those of you that don’t ride on a regular basis, it’s great motivation to ditch your car keys, dust off your Schwinn, and pedal your day away. Read the rest of this entry »
Kick off May with our new summer sandal, the Turia. Perfect for all your warm weather adventures, the sleek profile features an active heel lock for secure fit and additional stability, along with razor siping on the sole for superb traction on wet, slick surfaces.
Gadling.com recently tested a pair and called the Turias “an excellent choice for travelers looking for a lightweight and versatile shoe to take with them on their next adventure.” Here’s more from the review:
All of these features make the Turia an excellent choice for travelers who are looking for a versatile and comfortable shoe to take with them nearly anywhere. Their compact and flexible design make them easy to pack and their stylish good looks keep them appropriate for light hiking, visits to the beach or just kicking around town. In fact, that versatility is perhaps my favorite feature of these sandals, which were one of just two pairs of shoes that I took with me on a recent visit to the country of Jordan, where they proved to be equally adept at both trekking in the desert and visiting the beaches of the Red Sea.

At KEEN, we believe small steps can start to make a big difference by helping everyone to live a HybridLife. That’s why we created the Santiago. Check out the full story here:
In the fall of 2011, the largest dam removal projects in history began on the Elwha and White Salmon Rivers in Washington. Here’s an amazing video by Andy Maser and Barney Bonito that beautifully captures this historic year for rivers:
The removal of the two dams on the Elwha River is expected to take three years. When complete, all five specifies of Pacific Salmon will reclaim 70 miles of pristine habitat for the first time in 100 years. Already, wild salmon and steelhead have begun to reclaim 33 miles of habitat that had been previously cut off.
