KEEN Men's, Targhee III Waterproof Mid Hiking Boots

These shoes are light, perfectly sized, look great and very high quality. My only recommendation is that you break the shoes in on smaller hikes before using for longer hikes. I foolishly decided to hike 12 miles on my first use, and ended up with several blisters and a bruise on my shin where the edge of the shoe rubbed. They are very tough and rugged, and completely waterproof. even after walking for miles in heat and through 3 inches of water, they maintain very little to no odor.

I've had boots with a more comfortable sole, but these offer good protection/comfort combo. The materials are good and I'm sure they will last quite a while. Best feature for me, the large toe box! Tired of my toes getting smashed in typical shoes not made with consideration for the human anatomy but rather style....

Great boots! Warm, comfortable, wicks away moisture and short break in period. Holds my heel well while giving my wide feet room to move. Very comfortable is high praise from me. Foot comfort is job one for the rest of me to be comfortable! Great job Keen!

I bought these boots early for a trip I was taking where I would be hiking a lot. I wore them once to try out the fit and they fit good (I wear a 12 men’s US size). I wore them hiking, literally the 2nd time I had them on for a prolonged period and the top lace hook, the metal one by the top of the boot, completely tore out of the shoe. Can’t fix it and because I got them early they are outside the range for return. The boot has no ankle support for hiking now and they feel sloppy. Keen used to be a good brand and maybe I got a bad one but I won’t be buying Keen boots anymore. Too expensive to break on the 2 nd time wearing.

I purchased these boots following " Amazon recommended size " After wearing them for several weeks I detrimed they were the wrong size, foot slipping forward and back,unable to lace tight. I've purchased a replacement Keen replacement from Amazon. I'm hoping Amason will assist me with this situation.

I look forward to putting these on!Super comfortable!

I've been buying Keen's for 16 years now and have gone through dozens of pairs of their hiking shoes. Lately, I have toned down my hiking, but I still like the Keen shoes for daily wear. I am a loyal Keen enthusiast not only because they make a great shoe, but once, in 2012, I had a pair of Targhee II that had a faulty eyelet that broke the first time I wore it. Keen promptly replaced the boots with no questions asked. That action by them made me a Keen customer for life.These Targhee III's are replacing another pair of Targhee III's that will now be relegated to yardwork only. These hiking boots have a relaxed feel - they are light and nimble (not heavy or clunky). I feel comfortable doing anything in these boots and that is why they are what I wear 80% of the time. My wife wears a more, 'traditional', hiking boot and she only wears those on the trail because they do well on the trail, but aren't great anywhere else. These Keens are champs on the trail and perform well in most other situations as well.I love that they are waterproof and that the soles are grippy. I have never lost my footing because of my Keens. If you've never worn Keens before, the toe box is large and roomy. My feet are narrow near the heel and normal up front - these boots are snug on my heel and leave room for my toes.

Boots are not all leather. I have had several pair and they all split and come apart on the side of the foot by the big toe. It is plastic along the bottom where it meets the sole and that cracks and comes apart. I get 6 to 10 months at most.
