KEEN Men's Targhee III Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot

Great hiking shoe. The mid level gives the perfect amount of ankle support whilst still staying cool and allowing some flexability and movement of the ankle. The very wide toe box fits my feet perfectly as most other "normal" hiking boots always give me blisters but not these! Theyre comfortable for long hikes. They are quite lightweight and reasonably breathable. The grip is exellent and stands up well against the slippiest of surfaces! Theyre good value for money and im so glad i picked these boots. Very versatile

These were my go to boot for wide fit & comfort. I've had 2 pairs previously & bought a pair for a friend who was suffering with poor fitting boots. Over the years, the quality has gone down & the price has gone up. You're lucky to get a year out of them. My first pair lasted nearly 3 years (and I wasn't impressed with that). And you're lucky if they stay dry for a week in any season except summer. The side band above the sole disintegrates, water gets in and that's the end of the boots. Such a shame as they are comfortable. Greed screws it up again...

My go-to choice of walking trainers. My third pair are just comfortable as my first.

To preface, I arrived in the UK a couple weeks before a trip to Iceland, and I found out the hiking boots I brought were not fitted as good as I thought they were. So, I needed a new pair of boots that were waterproof, warm, and most importantly, comfortable because I'd have no time to break them in. Due to the immense praise I read about the Keen's comfort and since I have wider feet, I decided to take my chance on them. After owning them for about a month now, they are extremely comfortable. There was a day where they were slightly uncomfortable, but, after figuring out the best way to knot them for my foot, they were great again. I also tested them in a few rivers and waterfalls, and they kept my feet dry; however, it was not any intense wetting on them. I am aware of the persistent issue of the soles coming apart, so I will update this review if I get to that point. Keen does have a 1-year warranty on the boots though, so if that issue does come up during the 1-year period, they can be replaced for free. My experience with these boots so far has been great, and I really enjoy these boots. Update: Unfortunately, after only two months of use, the sole on the left boot started to delaminate. While I did do some pretty tough hikes, it was nothing that should cause the sole to come apart so early on. However, I did a warranty claim with Keen through Amazon, and I was refunded for the boots very easily, which is why I'm only taking off one star. If you are like me and still want comfortable boots with wide toe boxes, I would try going for the Targhee IVs, which have a lifetime warranty on the soles delaminating.

Got these in warehouse deal for around £60 a year ago and now clicked up over 1000km. They were comfortable from the first wear and have remained waterproof. Wear on soles and slight cracking on synthetic upper section but no issues for waterproof or grip. At 8.5 UK size these are true to size for me with the added benefit of generous toebox. Much better fit than Salomon for e.g. which I find way too narrow. I have bought a second pair for when these retire but will see how far they will last. UPDATE. The 2023: Retired this pair at around 1200km and moved on to a second pair. These are now over 600km mainly winter use and doing great. Looking for a third pair now despite having merrell moab on standby. UPDATE 2025: Bought another pair in 2023 and started wearing them late 2024. They replaced a pair of Scarpa Terra GTX which I racked up 1939km by which time the soles became too slippy. Swapped these for my third pair of Targhees which as of 1 October 2025 have 1528km in. They are holding up really well, rand is still intact and soles showing wear but safe. I'll keep wearing into winter when I have another pair bought in warehouse deal ready to replace. Despite allof the negative reviews I have had a number of pairs of these which have been good or in current case exceptional particularly taking into account purchases around £65 mark.

FURTHER UPDATE: The rand on both boots has now cracked, both boots are no longer waterproof and the sole on one boot is now coming away from the upper of the boot. Worst pair of boots I have ever owned. UPDATE: Had the boots just over a year now and they are no longer waterproof. The rand on one boot has split and they are showing signs of the rand coming away from the sole. These Keens are not my main pair of walking boots and I am therefore disappointed that they have worn so badly and are no longer waterproof over such a short period of time. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Nice reasonably lightweight mid height boot. Appears to be well made with a good rubber protective rand. Comfortable straight from the box with what feels like a widish fit. Have worn a number of time for mainly dry walks so cannot comment on waterproof quality of the boots.

Yeah I should have remembered. I had a pair of these 2 years year and as a lot of you are finding out they dont do wet grass but then after 3 years of trying the only boots I can find that do wet grass are wellingtons but you try walking 5 miles in wellies everyday! Anyway besides that I risked trying them again and yep they have already cracked at the toe and Ive not warn them everyday because the weather has been mainly dry since purchasing, however these are advertised as Hiking boots so by that very definition you walk in them for long periods of time, no? So again not fit for purpose, comfortable yes, need breaking in no, nice looking but totally flawed design and material choice. DO NOT BUY! If I'd brought them from a shoe shop as I did before I could have taken them back again they have 12 month returns but on here Na! I'll try contacting direct. UPDATE KEEN got back to me within 24hrs : You mention that you have bought your shoes at Amazon- an authorised retailer. KEEN has agreements with all authorised retailers in place that they will help their KEEN customers with warranty claims. That’s why we would kindly ask you to get in contact with the customer service of Amazon (via e-mail or if possible via phone). We understand that there is no direct link on the Amazon website for submitting a warranty request. However, if you contact Amazon Customer Service and specifically request a warranty inquiry instead of reporting or returning a defective item, you can initiate the warranty process through Amazon. It's important to note that Amazon is contractually obligated to accept warranty requests for our products up to one year from the date of purchase. This means you can address your warranty concerns even after the initial purchase. Spoke with Amazon and they are on their way back and money is refunded on receipt. I've now brought a all leather pair based on KEENS reply, guarantee and customer service.

Sadly after just over a year and with little use the left foot Keen boot is de-laminating just above the sole. This is real shame as the boots are very comfortable and my previous pair of these boots had non of these problems!

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.

I wear a size 12 4e sneaker and the size 13W fits me perfectly.

Package got lost with courier for a week, but finally got it.

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.

I wore this for hiking Mount Rinjani recently. It was raining a lot and although my socks got wet eventually (as expected from many hours of rain), this shoe held up very well and the insides were not soaked or saturated with water, just wet.
