KEENMen's Targhee 3 Waterproof Hiking Shoe

I bought these for hiking/walking and really like them. They have a hard sole and it works well for uneven terrain, trails, or paved roads. I’ve owned many Keen products and they do not disappoint.

Shoes fit great, very comfortable, but they lasted less than a year, the rubber on the sides of the toe box is cracked and breaking down. My keen work shoes are 2 years old and still going strong, only wish these were too.

Using these for my work in my studio and a trip to Norway. Bought the 13 W, cause that's what I wear, It was a bit snug and would have been unconfortable with heavy socks. Order the 14 W and they fit perfect. Will take some breaking in but I've already taught an 8 hour class in them and feet felt better then my Sketchers. Highly recommend, but if you are going on a trip order them ahead of time to make sure they ft correctly. I've tried Merrell, but Keen has my vote.

I owned five pairs of Keens (Davenport, Summit County, Braddock, Durand II) before purchasing a pair of these in February 2022. Needless to say I’ve been a big fan of Keen for quite a few years. They’ve always fit great. I didn’t have time to try them out before leaving for New Orleans so decided to take them to walk the streets; plus they’d keep my feet dry from those unexpected puddles in the Quarter. :) Why not? They’ve always been perfect.Big mistake. The morning after a day of walking the tops of my feet were so sore I could barely stand or walk. It was that painful. But it couldn’t be the shoes, right? Keens are always perfect. So after a few hours the pain subsided enough for me to I try again. Same result the next morning, although not quite as bad... By the end of the week I could deal with it, so I simply concluded they required a little breaking in or aren’t the best walking shoesSo I’ve taken them out on the trail since then. I don’t experience the pain I experienced initially, but after repeated hikes my impression is roughly the the same every time. They feel horribly flat footed, thin, and lifeless. When I walk on gravel I feel as if I can sense every stone and pebble under my feet. After about five miles my feet are absolutely exhausted trying to walk in these. I’ve tried using new insets for more cushioning and support, but it’s just not enough.So yesterday I finally gave up. Faced up to the fact they simply aren’t for me, and ordered a similar pair offered offered by another popular manufacturer.I wish I could recommend these. I’ve really loved Keen. But there’s something about these shoes that simply don’t agree with me and I have to move on.Lots of people have had a great experience with the Targhee IIIs, but I’m not one of them. My relationship is over! (Keeping my Braddocks for the shipyard and my Durand IIs for my fall hikes, though—great boots!)

I have a pair of Keen hiking boots already, and wanted a low cut version for hotter weather. These are perfect. Ordered to size, 13W for me, and 13W fits perfect.
