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!

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 bought these for my brother who wears size 14. He walks a lot all through the year and didn’t have waterproof shoes. He loves them. Price was well worth it. I also have the same brand and wear them in the Fall & Winter, they last forever.

*** Update I've put about 200-250 hiking miles on these shoes since this review. The shoes are great on my feet but I am removing one star because of the heel lining. As you can see from the photo the liner fabric at the heal is tearing. In my opinion this is not good after so few miles. I still like the fit but I do wish the lining was more durable as this will reduce the life of the shoe significantly. I started backpacking about 5 years ago and have had nothing but trouble with hiking shoes. I've changed brands, sizes, socks, etc. but have never found a shoe that was comfortable. That changed when I bought these Keens a few months back. I've got about 300 miles of backpacking on them now including a recent 30 mile section hike on the AT. I can honestly say these Keens were amazing. Before a lot of my focus while hiking was how to minimize discomfort with my shoes going up and down steep and long terrain. I barely paid attention to my Keens other than to tell others how satisfied I was with my new shoes.

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.

Will never buy another brand. I bought these because the price was good as were the reviews. I needed a solid shoe as I would be doing walking excursions in Alaska & Iceland. The shoe needed to be solid, slip-proof & not heavy. I’ve owned this pair for nearly a year; the maker needs to be praised & thanked for making such high-quality shoe and selling it at a fair price. I also use them for my daily hour-long walks, on cruise ships to walk the promenade (often wet), on a glacier (definitely wet), on desert sand (never wet), on muddy fields & even in my garden. My recommendation would be to buy 1/2 size larger. I returned my first pair because of the tight fit but the 1/2 size bigger pair I replaced it with has been perfect (especially with thicker walking socks or fluffy wool socks). I’m thinking of buying another pair just to have them in my closet when the tread on my current pair wears down (and become unsafe). But after nearly a year, the tread remains in good condition. I’ve never ever returned to my Amazon account to submit such a raving review of a purchased product after heavy use. I had initially purchased these shoes to wear on cruise excursions in Alaska & Iceiand & for my daily walks in Miami. Exceptional product.

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.

Pricey but comfortable. The leather cracked and the soles wore down after few years. I hoped they would last longer for the price. I replaced them with the same thing though.

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

Ich habe mir diese Schuhe gekauft, da ich mir die Trecking Sandalen von Keen schon das vierte Mal bestellt habe - das heißt ich trage Sandalen von dieser Firma schon seit über 10 Jahren. Da sie von mir fast das ganze Jahr über ihn Gebraucht sind, bestelle ich mir aller zwei bis drei Jahre neue. Genauso gut verarbeitet, langlebig, bequem, gut aussehend und robust wirken auch diese Schuhe. Ich kann sie sehr empfehlen. Die Größe ist genau wie angegeben - ich trage Größe 45 und habe bei diesen Schuhen wie auch bei den Sandalen immer Größe 45 bestellt - passt.

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

COMPRE TALLA 9.5, QUE ES MI TALLA ME QUEDARON CHICOS, MUY JUSTOS DE LO LARGO. CON MUCHA PENA TUVE QUE CAMBIAR POR UNA TALLA MAS GRANDE.

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