The concept traces back to 1999, when Martin Keen jammed and broke his toe on a metal ring during a sailing trip off Rhode Island — an experience that led him to design a sandal with a protective toe bumper for boaters. That idea became the Newport Sandal, the shoe that launched the brand in 2003.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIn 2006, KEEN relocated its headquarters and factory to Portland, Oregon, where the company is still based today, known for outdoor footwear built around durability and a strong social\/environmental mission.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/2979\/2043\/collections\/jasp4.webp?v=1786007247","url":"https:\/\/providenceclothingco.com.au\/collections\/keen.oembed","provider":"Providence Clothing Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
