These hiking shoes have been awesome. I use them every day. I am using my 3rd pair and just purchased my 4th pair for next season! Since this video aired, I have had only one defect on the shoe due to a piece of sole that is peeling away on the edge. However, I have been on some really rough and tough trails with them. I actually think it was my own fault as the adhesive was weakened because I had my shoe to close to the fire while in camp. No matter, I am a continued user. Maybe Keen will reach out to me to do a follow up review or test of another product! Thanks for watching.

Hi from Scotland. I've had my Targhee 3s for 2 years now and they've been great. I do a lot of outdoor trekking, hillwalking and photography. I have wide feet and these are perfect straight from the box. Starting to wear down on the outsides because I pronate that way. No problems with soles coming off. If I have one criticism it is this; I do a lot of beach and shoreline photography and they're not the best on wet rock. That said they are so comfortable. I need new shoes now though and have been looking around. Meindl make really comfortable wide shoes/boots but are very expensive. Keen's Ridge Flex Waterproof Hiking Shoes look pretty good but not available in wide in Europe. Can't understand that. So I will probably stay with the 3s.

Keen shoes have been the only shoe that I can wear. Anytime i try wearing another brand, the next day my feet hurt. The problem I also have is the sole failing issue. I work doing house & commercial construction work for 40-50 hours a week and all my shoes have been put thru hell. It seems that they all last only 8 months tops. I will have to try the Targhee 3's.

Thank you, Justin. If you decide to buy some I hope they treat you as well as they have me. Wear and tear is equal to the miles & abuse put on them. I put a ton on them, wear them every day, and beat the crap out of them climbing mountains. Mine are usually looking to be replaced about every 8 months or so too. So worth it for me though. The soles on the 3's are certainly way better than the 2's. Good luck. Have a great day.

Good review! I bought some Keen shoes from Cabelas last Christmas (on sale). I will have to look up the model. I have hiked maybe 50-60 miles this year. thus far and I have been impressed. They seem to be quite waterproof compared to other water proof shoes I have used. I like a study, rigid sole in a shoe and these are quite sturdy. My backpacking boots are Scarpa's and are heavy but very sturdy and rigid. I know I am the exception, but I like a stiff boot for backpacking. I have tried just doing day hikes with trail runners and I much prefer to have something more substantial on my feet.
@Packsalot4 жыл бұрын
Ken had several models but the Targhee III is the best one I've found for hikers. I like a stiff boot too for some of my hikes. For those trips I've been using the Salomon Quest 4D. They are on the high side of mid height and are very sturdy and waterproof. A bit pricey though. Thanks for the watch and comment. Take care.

I wear them to work, for play, around the house, hot weather, cold weather, all seasons, all activities. My feet have a tendency to get hot too. Socks make a difference to regulate heat. I can hike all day in the heat without a problem but I have noticed that it helps to take them off periodically either when you are done with your hike or at the end of the day to cool my feet and air out the shoe. Hope this helps. Have a wonderful day.
