Review: Hard wearing comfortable walking shoes - Bought for the rocker sole these are good waterproof shoes. They take orthotics easily with removable insoles. Very comfortable and have excellent quality material. Pleased with buying them and keep them looking well with wax on the leather pieces Review: Very comfortable for wide feet - Targhees are the only boot for me because I have wide flat feet and these come in a wide fitting. They're comfortable out of the box and need no breaking in (I take the insoles out and use custom orthotics because of my flat feet and knee problems). They're lightweight as well which is nice but still have good hiking boot soles to cope with rough stony paths and the ankle support is good without being oppressive so you can drive a car in them without discomfort. The lacing system works very well, nowadays I simply use the lacing pattern that they come with but, in the past I've changed it with success. They only have two speedgrips but you don't need more - once they're laced on they stay laced and there is no aggravation with the laces coming undone as the speedgrips take the tension off the knot. They're grippy on wet grass and mud (I live in Nofolk so it's all zoil and grass) and even better on stony stuff when I go on holiday. My last two pairs have been very good for waterproofing, before that the waterproofing gave up before the boot did and the Targhee 3 seems generally more durable than the previous Targhee 2, in particular the rand now protects the boot from splitting. The only thing is that I need a new pair after 9 months as they simply wear out - the soles wear down so that slipping on wet grass starts to become an issue and the uppers start to fail around the rand. However the Thing is that I wear these every day for three dog walks seven days a week right through the year (yes they get a bit sweaty in high Summer but they breathe pretty well). As I clock around 4 miles per day that's around 1,100 miles so I don't mind having to replace them. If you just used them at the weekend and on holiday they'd last you years. ## Features - WATERPROOF & PROTECTION: KEEN.DRY breathable membrane keeps feet dry and comfortable by allowing vapor out without letting water in; Bruise plate for protection on uneven surfaces; High abrasion rubber toe guard for added durability - MATERIAL & CONSCIOUSLY CREATED: Durable premium leather and breathable performance mesh; Quick dry lining for active use; KEEN sources hides from Leather Working Group certified tanneries; Environmentally friendly DWR helps keep leather from drying out - TRACTION: KEEN ALL-TERRAIN rubber provides high traction grip in muddy environments and on rocky surfaces; 4mm multi direction lugs provide optimal traction for sure footing; Non marking rubber outsoles leaves no imprints when walking indoors - SUPPORT & COMFORT: External Support Shank and mid cut height adds balance and ankle support; Heel cradle for stability; Removable footbed with arch support cradles to the foot’s shape; Resilient cushioning doesn’t compress quickly after extended use - FIT & CARE: KEEN Original Fit gives generous space for toes to spread out; Gently brush leather with a soft bristle brush or hand towel to remove loose dirt and debris; Tough stains may require a leather cleaner ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01MZAVPPF | | Best Sellers Rank | 63,200 in Fashion ( See Top 100 in Fashion ) 152 in Men's Trekking & Hiking Footwear | | Boot Form Type | Hiking Boot | | Brand | KEEN | | Closure Type | Lace-Up | | Colour | Black Olive Golden Brown | | Country Of Origin | Cambodia | | Country of origin | Cambodia | | Customer Reviews | 3.5 out of 5 stars 7,733 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00887194985388 | | Heel Type | No Heel | | Insole Material | Textile | | Item Type Name | Hiking Boots | | Item Weight | 476 g | | Manufacturer | Keen | | Material composition | Leather | | Model Name | Targhee III | | Model number | 1017787 | | Occasion | hiking | | Outer Material Type | Leather | | Outer material | Leather | | Pattern | Solid | | Season | Spring/Summer | | Shaft Circumference | 13.22 inches | | Shaft Height | ankle | | Shaft height | Ankle | | Shoe Height Map | High-Top | | Sole Material | Rubber | | Sole material | Rubber | | Style Name | Classic | | Toe Style | Closed Toe | | UPC | 887194985388 | | Water Resistance Level | Waterproof | | lining-description | Leather | | material-type | Leather | ## Images ![KEEN Men's Targhee III Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714uhl2mPsL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What's the difference between these and the targhee II?** A: The Targhee II and the Targhee III are both Targhee styles that are built using the same last so they will be similar in terms of their fit, although the Targhee III will fit a bit narrower in the toes than the Targhee II due to the design of it's uppers. **Q: Are these made in a country who works against USA?** A: These were PREVIOUSLY made in Portland Oregon. Now they are made in Asia (Thailand or other Asian countries). The ones made in Portland had a non-waterproof black die that ran out of the Targhee 2 shoes absolutely every time they got wet, leaving my feet and socks died black. I tried everything to stop this including finally resorting to hand washing and then drying them. The weight of the shoe must have been mostly from die since they still would run black inside whenever it was wet outside. Worthless in the Cascades although I still have them for summer work shoes around the house and yard and they still die my feet black when they get moist. **Q: Do these hold up better the tennis shoes for daily wear I haven't been able to get even a year out of my tennis shoes and I'm on concrete all day** A: I’ve had my keens for 5 months and where them every day whether it be for working or walking around the neighborhood. Mine are wearing great with no signs of unusual wear. They are honestly mor comfortable than my sneakers, brooks, Nike and Wilson tennis shoes. I love them. Most comfortable shoes I own. **Q: How do these fit compared to the Braddock?** A: I never wore the Braddock, I do love these. They were true to my size 14. The best fit I've had on a pair of boots in years. I would buy these again in a minute. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hard wearing comfortable walking shoes *by C***N on 23 March 2025* Bought for the rocker sole these are good waterproof shoes.

Have worn them for two weeks they fit like glove and the heel grip system works, they have mid size toe box, measurements available on Keen website.Have walked through long wet grass and hosed them off to clean them, no sign of water penetration so far. They look robust and the smooth Nubuck looks good after applying G-wax. Probably not the most popular colour hence a good price but who cares when they are wet and muddy! Update; have had the boots for 28 months and used them regulary, estimate over 1500 miles walking, sadly they have reached the end of their useful life. The faux rubeerrised textile rand was the weak point. started to crack and diintegrate after about 18 months but has now failed structurally. Amazingly, although the waterproof liner is exposed .the boots are still waterproof! ## Frequently Bought Together - KEEN Men's, Targhee III Waterproof Mid Hiking Boots - KEEN Men's Targhee II Mid Height Waterproof Hiking Boot - KEEN Women's Targhee 3 Mid Height Waterproof Hiking Boot --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/63916071-keen-mens-targhee-iii-mid-waterproof-hiking-boot](https://www.desertcart.us/products/63916071-keen-mens-targhee-iii-mid-waterproof-hiking-boot) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
