Here we are supposed to introduce a nature-lover brand, Keen Footwear company that produces sandals and shoes.
There is a beautiful sentence you can see on the website; We are not here to make shoes, we are here to make a difference where we are good at it because we love making shoes.
The first focus they have is on a general concept, “outside”.
They think outside is much more better than inside, because we spend most of our time and do most of our daily actions outside.
They believe we can make outside a better place for people who are having time out there.
