KEEN Men's, Targhee III Waterproof Mid Hiking Boots

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!

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.

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.

I was initially very happy with these. Fit was great, and very comfortable as I would expect from a Keen shoe.I wear these 2-3 days a week during my weekends. Pretty light use. Maybe 5-6mi a day of walking and the occasional dirt path.Within a couple of months the gussets on these started to crack and fall apartbas experienced by a number of others here. The quality of the material used on the gussets is atrocious. A shame because the boot is in otherwise great shape. Still have full tread (I'd hope so since they're still barely used), upper leather and even the inside parts barely show wear. Hate to have to throw out a good boot but once the cracks start growing larger - I imagine very soon - it'll be done.Extremely disappointed and leaves me a bad taste about buying future Keen products. Will be trying something else soon enough.

I had these for six months but started getting bad after 5 months. I wear them day in day out as normal shoes. I'm sure they are not meant for that much use. I like Keen because they are the only shoes that the tread stays for a long time. They are comfortable. For heavy use I Guese that's not bad for high tops. I had a pair that lasted for almost year. If it gets worse, I'll try something else. I would love to be a Keen shoe tester. Photos are right and left shoes.

You get what you pay for, they are expensive, but very good quality and very comfortable

After wearing these boots for nearly a year I must say they’re excellent. First pair of Keen boots I’ve owned but will not be my last! They’re extremely comfortable and broke in easily and quickly. I’ve worn them all day hunting and also worn them daily at work when I’m on my feet on pavement or concrete for nine hours at a time. The fit, comfort, look and durability are all 5-stars. The most important thing (I think) is to order one size larger than you normally wear in boots. I normally wear a size 12 boot or dress shoe, and wear a 13 running shoe. The size 13 Keen boots fit me perfectly. Definitely recommend!

I like these boots. They fit well for my wide feet and are comfortable with the aid of a new insert, but that is because of my failing arch.My issue is the gluing of the upper to the sole is not consistent. So much so that this particular pair I received had spots that weren't glued right out of the box. I fixed that myself, which I'm happy I can do. But then the next issue arises before the year is up. That being: the upper cracks and seperates from the sole which renders it no longer waterproof. This happens the fastest where the toes bend, then works its way towards the arch of the shoe. This is my second pair of this exact boot and it has happened both times. One time bought in a store and the second time bought on Amazon, so it's not a knockoff issue or anything like that. I wish they could fix this problem, but for the price, I will have to look elsewhere.
