Why We Like The Targhee III Mid Leather Waterproof Hiking Boot

The Men's Targhee III Mid Leather Waterproof Hiking Boot is Keen's answer to any trail that's considered difficult. Not only does it have the stability and support for hiking rough terrain, but it also has the waterproof, breathable protection required for hiking in variable conditions. The leather exterior is as rugged as the mesh lining is cushy and breathable, and Keen treated the interior to reduce odor buildup over time. The rubber sole features multi-directional lugs to ensure traction on the downhill as well as the uphill.

However, some customers have experienced issues with the soles separating or the boots not being as waterproof as advertised. A few found the fit too narrow or the arch support lacking compared to previous models.

Long Time Keen-head Losing Faith

Keen, I wish I knew how to quit you. I have exclusively worn Keen hiking boots for close to 25 years. I can't tell you how many pairs of Targhee III's alone I've owned, but it's a lot. They have been my comfortable and reliable choice but I feel there is something wrong with how the soles have been constructed. The last couple of pairs have gone completely soft on me. I admit I'm a bit of a tenderfoot but I don't think I should be feeling every stone on the trail poking through. Not to mention the tread shredding away far too soon. I just want you to be better so I can keep on wearing my beloved Keen Targhees.

Very comfortable and dry!

Bought these to replace an older pair of Keen hiking boots. The first time out of the box i wore them to Ontario for a week long fishing trip. They were amazingly comfortable from the first time I slipped them on. We got rain a couple of days and my feet stayed quite dry in the boat as well as on shore. Very impressed with these boots!!!

They fell apart! Again! Just after warranty expired!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am giving up on Keen hiking boots. I have worn out their warranty department with 3 replacements now, and while my feet have really loved them over the last several years, at about the 18 month point, the uppers crack near the toebox and there they go. The first pair had a defective speed lace grommet, so they sent me a credit to replace that pair. The second developed the aforementioned cracks on the upper. I talked them into sending me a credit even after the 12-month warranty period had passed, and my current pair I noticed this weekend had developed the same cracks. Every other part of the boot is in good shape, laces, inners, soles, etc. My 58-year old feet that have suffered bouts of plantar fasciitis are happy inside, but they aren't so cheap I can dispose of them every 18 months. I see another review with similar complaints, so you'd think they could fix it. Sorry Keen, no more. Three strikes and you're gone.

Best Boot

3's are the best boot ive worn. They fit better than the 4's and lasted significantly longer.

Perfect fit; great feel

Love these Targhee III boots. Have a couple of the low cut as well. Bought a second pair since they are discontinued. Have found the "III" to be better than the new "IV" model. Have a slightly wide food but size 10 Regular fits great.

I love this boot

I have needed a new pair of hiking boots for a while and I wanted to make sure they ticked off the right boxes: water resistent/proof, good fit, solid base. This boot does that. I used them to hike around in the snow for an entire weekend and my feet never got wet or cold and I felt very stable the entire time. Cannot wait to get some mud and dirt from more trails on these.

Good boot

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do like the fit and look of these boots. This is my third pair. The only reason I don’t give them 5 stars is durability, they are not the most durable.

Nice fit poor waterproofing

I really like how comfortable they are. But the waterproofing is a total failure, suck up water like sneakers. The tread is also starting to separate on both.
