Designed in the KEEN Innovation Lab, the American Built[1] KEEN EVOFIT One Sandal is an evolution in form, fit and function.

PORTLAND, Ore. (June 1, 2017) — Building on the brand’s innovative and pioneering spirit, the KEEN EVOFIT ONE sandal debuts new engineering and construction advancements that represent a leap forward in open-air sandal performance, comfort, and style. Launching today in the United States, the KEEN EVOFIT ONE sandal is now exclusively available on keenfootwear.com.

“Whether adventuring to a remote destination or exploring urban landscapes, the KEEN EVOFIT ONE comfortably excels in any environment with a style right look,” explains Stephanie Rankin, Sandals Marketing Manager for KEEN.

Manifested in the KEEN Innovation Lab in Portland, Ore. and tested on adventures around the globe, the KEEN EVOFIT ONE is constructed with a minimal-waste, engineered fabric design that moves seamlessly with the natural contours of the foot.

For enhanced water performance, the KEEN EVOFIT ONE also features a PFC-free Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish and KEEN’s supreme Aquagrip rubber outsole helps maximize traction in any condition or terrain.

Offered for both men and women, the KEEN EVOFIT ONE (MSRP $130) is designed for adventurers in search of a sandal that delivers versatility and performance with progressive style.
