Known for their comfortable, durable shoes and hiking boots, Keen usually runs a pretty straightforward but worthwhile Black Friday event. Based on what happened in past years, this year should follow a familiar pattern with some solid deals and early access for subscribers. Here’s a full breakdown of what you can expect in terms of timing, discounts, product selection, and more.

Likely Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

Keen is expected to kick off their Black Friday 2025 sale with early access on keenfootwear.com starting on Saturday, November 22, 2025. That’s five days before Thanksgiving and one full week ahead of Black Friday itself, which falls on November 28 this year. Early access is usually limited to Keen’s email newsletter subscribers and often requires a promo code to unlock the deals. Last year’s early access code was PRECYBER25, and there’s a good chance the same code (or something very similar) will be used again this year.

This early access period typically runs until the evening of Tuesday at around 8 PM Pacific Time or until select items sell out (this years that’s on November 26, 2025). After that, the sale usually opens up to everyone with no code needed, continuing through Black Friday and often into Cyber Monday.

In total, you can expect at least a full week of deals, starting with subscriber-only access and then moving into the general sale period. But if you’re eyeing something specific, you may want to shop early as popular sizes and styles tend to go fast, especially during early access.

Expected Discounts for 2025

While nothing has been officially announced yet, Keen is likely to repeat the same 25% site-wide discount across most of its product catalog. It’s a consistent offer they’ve run for several years in a row and seems to strike the right balance between savings and simplicity.

The 25% off deal typically applies to regular-priced items only. Clearance and final-sale products are often excluded. Also, some specialty collaborations, limited editions, or just-released styles may be off-limits for the promo. So if you’re hoping to pick up a brand-new release, don’t be surprised if it’s not included in the sale.

In addition to the discount, Keen usually offers free express shipping on orders over $125.

Examples of Past Deals

Looking at the deals from 2024 can give a good idea of what kind of savings to expect this year. After applying the 25% promo code, here’s what some of the featured items were priced at last year:

• Women’s Presidio Shoes dropped to $108.75 (originally $145)

• Women’s Veracore Waterproof Shoes went on sale for $112.50 (originally $150)

• Men’s Jasper Zionic Sneakers were marked down to $112.50 (originally $150)

• Men’s 450 Dirt Hiking Shoes sold for $127.50 (originally $170)

• Little Kids’ Wanduro Speed Hiking Shoes were priced at $48.75 (originally $65)

Shipping and Return Policy

Keen typically offers free express shipping on orders of $125 or more during the Black Friday event. That’s helpful if you’re buying gifts or multiple pairs. Orders under the threshold may still ship free, but not with express speed.

Returns are generally free within 30 days of purchase, but only if the shoes are unused and in original condition. During holiday sales, Keen may extend their return window a bit, but it’s smart to check the fine print when the sale launches just to be sure.
