KEEN Men's Targhee 3 Low Height Waterproof Hiking Shoes

I love Keen brand hiking shoes and have been wearing them for years. Finally taking the time after having this pair for quite a while to review how they have stood the test of time, with heavy daily use, and very treacherous and adverse weather conditions. They keep me steady on my feet, keep my feet dry, keep my arches supported and I always have good traction even under muddy weather conditions. Even though they are waterproof, they are still breathable and they don't leave you with stinky feet. The color varieties are very nice but I really like the subtlety of this particular color combo. The sole is so great on gravel and in hiking. They're easy to clean with just a damp microfiber cloth and they still look pretty good after all this time. Oh and I'm a woman who occasionally buys men's hiking boots because I like the wider toe box, so if you're a size 10 in women's, a size 9 in men's fits perfectly. Don't get the 8.5, get the extra half a size in this brand... and you will thank me later. After trying Merrell, Oboz, Timberland, Columbia, and Nortiv8 in the last few years, I always come back to Keen. I don't think I can be the comfort and foot feel, as well as the quality that has stood the test of time. Well worth every dollar!

I need wide toe boxes and this pair seemed to offer that and they do have plenty of toe room. They're good looking and initially comfortable. The sole are stiff and do not flex as much as I'd like for hiking shoes (why one star was knocked off), but they might break-in. The outer soles are soft rubber and appear as though they provide good traction on most surfaces (wet or dry). The size seems to be true... I normally wear a 10 and this pair of 10's (wide) fit my foot perfectly. They appear to be well made, but time will tell. I will be taking them on vacation, where my daughter will be dragging me on 5-10 mile hikes daily through mountainous and rocky terrain. I'll update the review when I return. 5/3/2026 update: First hike was 2.3 miles with elevation change of 918ft on a rock strewn washed out path. The shoes were very comfortable without need for break in. No blisters or hot spots. Although it was 85F and 90% humidity and I was a sweaty mess, my feet did not over heat. The soles gripped great on rocky surfaces. The wide toe boxes prevented pinching on the descent. No visible damage to the soles or uppers after the hike. The stiff soles I mentioned earlier turned out to not be a problem.

So far, these shoes seem like they are going to do the job, which is to be a good waterproof hiking shoe. Note: they distinctly run large. Probably by half a size.

I needed a wide shoe and this one fit the bill. The toe box was perfect and kept me from having troubles with my nails, which other boots had caused. The outer shoe was great. Durable and protected my feet well with good traction. I walked for nine days on the Camino, averaging 20 miles a day. After about a week, the padding in the back of the shoe completely broke down and wore through, which started chewing my socks up. The waterproofing also started to fail. In fairness, I had about 120 "break in" miles and another 150 hard miles on the shoes with no problems (major elevations changes and rain almost everyday). I put moleskin in the heels which helped, but if I had not had that, I would have been in trouble. Great, comfortable shoe for light duty, but not up to the challenges I put it through. I would consider buying again for day hiking or shorter trips as it fil my wide foot well and was comfortable. If the interior of the shoe has been more durable, I would have given an enthusiastic 5+.

They are well made and very comfortable. The arch support is perfect for me. Quality so far is excellent. I was a little disappointed by the cost but got tired of returning other shoes that weren't comfortable.

I have plantar fasciitis in my left foot and chronic ball-of-foot pain in my right. These shoes alleviated both conditions. I have no pain from either condition when wearing these shoes. I bought a second pair. The shoes are solidly made, very sturdy, with good cushion. They are roomy, with the caveat that I bought a wide. They provide solid arch support. Some might say the arch support is too severe. I feel the arch in my left foot, which is flatter than my right. At first, it seemed unpleasant, with what seemed a lateral ridge across my arch, but I decided to break the shoes in, and now the very supportive arch feels good. I'm very aware of it because it feels so good. The arch support in my right shoe is just right. I have no foot pain in these shoes. I wear a size 12, and the fit is perfect with a thick pair of socks. I even like the color. I bought hiking shoes to go hiking in Corsica. I will be wearing these, and I even intend to wear them in the airports.

Writing this review after a year. Have held up great. Started to come apart around toe but nothing major. If you need a wide fit these actually feel wide. Very comfortable even after long days and walking.

I do a LOT of walking, much of it in urban areas but also on trails. I have heard about the KEEN shoes for years, and I finally got a pair late in 2023. (The pair I purchased more recently from Amazon was to replace that earlier pair.) The news is mostly good. They are very comfortable shoes, and I especially appreciate the roomy toe area. The uppers are solid and stand up to mud and water — I've used them for long walks in rain. The thickness and stiffness of the sole is just right for me — not too stiff for the urban walking, but providing enough cushion and stiffness for hiking on trails, including somewhat rough trails. The little loop at the heel is actually useful when putting the shoes on. The lacing system is straightforward and effective. The shoes were comfortable right out of the box and remained so. I would like to mention two issue that buyers should be aware of. First, like many similar shoes, the removable cushioned insoles are not very durable. After six months of use or a bit less the fabric on top of the insoles began to wear and I had to replace them. More concerning to me is that the soles wore down significantly after six months, to the point that all of the heel tread was gone and a hole revealed the underlying (and less protective) inner foam layer. Unfortunately, the soles are not replaceable. In fairness, I walk a lot and I do wear shoes out this way. But do be aware of this if you purchase this shoe.

Llegaron puntualmente. Excelente calidad. Soy 7.5, pedí 6.5 ajustan muy bien.

Sehr gute Schuhe für Breite Füsse. Sehr bequem auch von Anfang an den Fersen. Für mich um Welten bequmer als meine alten Salomon .Sie sind auch wasserdicht. Sehr gute Verarbeitungsqualität. Habe sie auch schon bein starkem Regen getestet,sie sind absolut dicht, und das für den PReis. Wahrscheinlich die besten Wanderschuhe ,die ich je hatte. Langzeittest fehlt noch, denke aber der wird gut. Ich hatte schon Keen Sandalen, die hielten ewig-Top

Despite being one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever had, they are so very slippery in the wet condition.

Pękly po pół roku używaniaz i zaczęły się rozklejać
