I've been looking for decent pair of sandals for over a year. I have tried various brands, but with no success - either they were too small (and/or narrow) uncomfortable, poorly made, hand no traction, or just looked awful. I struck gold with the Targhee III. These sandals are super comfortable, have great traction, and look good. I'll likely buy another pair before these are discontinued red.

These are nice sandals though I liked my previous pair of Keens a bit better. On those I could remove the footbed for cleaning or replacement. Also the material under the strap did not fold back if you weren't careful attaching them. Although the tread looks very aggressive, my previous pair actually seemed to grip wet surfaces better with a more flat tread. These are all minor complaints. I would give them a 4.5 rating if I could. Bit I can't, so it rounds up to a 5.

I bought these sandals in January 2022 mainly for a planned trip to the Philippines but also some hiking around Sydney.I found them very comfy and great for walking the beaches of Boracay and through the rivers of Northern Samar but found the grip to be lacking when walking across wet rocks. My Salomon hiking shoes have great grip in the wet so I assume it's the materials the soles are made from that make them a little slippery. Apart from that though they are great sandals althounf much too expensive. Only worth around the $80 mark.
