A Day Out in the KEEN Jasper

Our dream date? Niamh and Somhairle’s day on the Isle of Skye pretty much nailed it. From their morning coffee run and waterfront stroll in Portree to their scenic afternoon hill walk, this day was pure main character energy from start to finish.

And the best part? No ‘fit change required: just the KEEN Jasper taking them from town streets to hillside paths without missing a step. If your calendar’s a mix of city plans and spontaneous outdoorsy moments, get ready – you’re about to meet your new favourite shoe.

Meet the KEEN Jasper

Stylish, comfortable, and made for everything from breakfast dates to chasing sunsets, the KEEN Jasper is a favourite of outdoorsy icons Niamh and Somhairle (and us!) for very good reason. This climbing shoe-meets-trainer hybrid is perfect whether you’re an avid hillwalker, weekend daytripper, or just looking to add a touch of gorpcore energy to your everyday wardrobe.

We’re talking a sleek, low-profile silhouette crafted from premium suede, complete with a grippy outsole and climbing-inspired laces for that locked-in fit – add in elite cushioning, breathable lining, and KEEN’s signature wide toe box, and you’ve got some seriously unbeatable comfort. This combo = all-day support (for rocky trails and wet city streets alike) + an instant cheat code for adding gorpcore-cool to any ‘fit. 

Colour-wise, you’re spoiled for choice. Keep it fresh with Niamh’s spring-coded green, go neutral with the ultra-versatile beige sported by Somhairle, or opt for the iconic natural colourway with statement red laces. Trust us, you can’t go wrong.

How to Style the KEEN Jasper

The best thing about the Jasper? It doesn’t lock you into one plan – or one aesthetic. Go full trail-style by pairing yours with hiking trousers, parachute pants, or a techy midi skirt. Complete the ‘fit with your favourite windbreaker or fleece (bonus points for adding a beanie + polarised sunglasses) for a look that works for park strolls and hill walks alike. 

For everyday styling (whether it’s your Saturday flat white run or post-walk pub plans), keep things casual by pairing your Jaspers with loose-fit jeans, an oversized tee, and some relaxed knitwear layered on top – ideal for bringing an adventure vibe to your daily ‘fits. 

And if you’re taking your Jaspers on your next city break? (Good call, by the way). For a look that’s perfect for clocking those city steps, pair them with crisp white socks, sporty shorts, and a simple tank, finished with your go-to crossbody bag and wraparound sunglasses.
