KEEN Men's Targhee Mid Height Waterproof Hiking Boots

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.

This was my first pair of Targhee III mid waterproof boots. I previously wore Targhee II mid waterproof boots but when the III's came out I thought I would give them a try. I have a fairly wide forefoot (D+) but a very skinny heel (AAA). These boots provide plenty of space for wide feet in the toe box but at a the same time the lacing is such that I can snug them up to hold my skinny heels in place without slipping. The comfort is excellent right out of the box and it just gets better as they break in. Ankle support is also excellent with lots of cushioning. The lace loops are more durable than the II's because they are made of leather rather than nylon. I wore these boots almost daily for more than two years with no sign of wear. I also wore them on a long trip to Israel, Egypt and Jordan and they stood up to everything that was thrown at a them. After lots of long hard use one of the soles finally separated from the upper and I had to bid them a fond farewell. I replaced them with another pair of Targhee III's and am looking forward to more years of great service and comfort.

These Targhee hiking boots did not hold up as I expected. They severely failed to meet my expectations The material (plastic?) on the side of the LEFT toe box cracked from toe to the ball of the foot area. Now, the RIGHT boot is starting to crack also. I wore a pair of Red Wing boots for 12 years, these KEEN boots didn't even make it 12 months. Hope KEEN will uphold their 12 month warranty. The leather on the KEENs still looks fine, It's the toe box that didn't perform. I would not recommend these boots if you are a hiker, maybe you could wear them to the office with success. My advice: get an all leather boot.

These boots are very comfortable. I purchased them for rugged hiking, and they’ve performed beautifully on uneven terrain and in winter conditions keeping feet dry yet breathable. They offer generous toe room, true-to-size fit, solid arch support, and breathable comfort—making them equally suitable for everyday street wear. The traction is reliable even on slick surfaces. Highly recommended for anyone needing durable, functional boots.

So far so good. I ordered a wide and received a regular but the keen toe runs a little Wider anyways. So they're all set. Good traction. . I Bought them for warm weather hiking. They're Definitely Not for cold weather. Well made one toe leather is a little miss shaped. Doesn't affect anything and you really can't see it without looking.

These boots got used very lightly during the week, and extra heavy during most weekends for long hikes through Florida trails in sand, dirt, and mud. Good ankle support for versatile terrain, tread was never an issue, never slipped on wet rocks but I also didn’t test it often. Size I usually buy fit very well, 12w. A bit firm at first, but will break in. The pair lasted the 10 months with minimal care in cleaning (occasional brushing sand/dirt, keeping dry) Eventually the material started peeling and now the waterproofing’s compromised. Because of the waterproofing they run a little warm, but it’s worth the trade off on days after the rain not to have soaking wet feet.

Holy cow , perfectly comfortable out of the box. Lightweight, looks great, fits perfect with a wide toe box and plenty of arch support with a supportive heal area, trust me these are nice. And true to size I'm a size 10 and these are spot on.

El producto es muy bueno, resistencia, el agarre, el interior, pero la plantilla es de un material de muy baja calidad lo cual hace el pie resbale dentro y genere todo un caos, antes las plantillas eran una maravilla ahora su calidad es PÉSIMA.

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

Solide Verarbeitung des Halbstiefel. Schnelle Lieferung. Passt gut. Bin sehr zufrieden mit den Schuhen von Keen!

Perfect fit, even better than its predecessor, the targhee II mid which I had for 4 years. Walked 8 kms on the trails right out of the box and very comfortable, no hot spots or rubbing. Very impressed.

Nach gut einem Jahr, hab ich jetzt beim Linken Schuh die Sohle durchgelaufen. Die Schuhe haben durch das "Weit" gleich richtig gut gepasst. Ich hab jetzt auch mein 2tes Paar bestellt und auch hier passt es gleich wieder. Links vorne hat sich etwas der Stoff gelöst. Aber das störte mich nicht wirklich. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit den Schuhen.
