About KEEN Garage Palo Alto
KEEN Garage is the footwear brand's own store at 278 University Avenue in downtown Palo Alto. KEEN calls its company-run shops Garages. Its website lists this one as the Palo Alto Garage. A Garage stocks a wider spread of the brand's range than a department store that carries a few KEEN styles. For other gear shops around town, see bike shops and outdoor gear and our University Avenue shopping guide.
What this location offers
KEEN's website groups its footwear like this. A single store will not carry every color and size.
- Hiking and trail: including the Targhee line, trail running shoes and waterproof styles
- Work boots and shoes: including Highframe and American-built boots and sneakers
- Everyday shoes: Jasper, Jasper Zionic, UNEEK, KEEN Made sneakers and Mary Janes
- Kids: including matching family styles
- Collaborations: limited releases such as KEEN x Collina Strada and a Howser III slide made with TYAKASHA
The website offers a free 30-day trial on its shoes. KEEN says its shoes have been PFAS free since 2018 and that it uses webbing made from post-consumer plastic bottles and outsoles made with agricultural waste. The KEEN Corps rewards program earns members points. The website also has a Shop Pre-Loved section and lists programs for professionals, military and healthcare workers and students and teachers. Ask at the register whether those offers apply in the store. Gift cards are sold too.
