Comfortable boots, not as durable as I had hoped
16 December 2022Eastern Hiker

originally posted on REI

Fall 2022: I bought a new pair of Keen Targhee III boots to replace an identical pair I had bought in summer 2018. They are comfortable, reasonably light weight, and grip well on rocky trails. The reason I bought a new pair was that the outsoles on my old ones were wearing out after 4 years of what I would describe as moderate use. See photos comparing soles of old and new boots. Also, the uppers were starting to separate from the soles on the outside edge of both boots near the toe (see photos).Regarding size, I bought these 1/2 size larger than normal to ensure that my flat feet wouldn't slide forward and jam my toes. Because of the larger size, the boots do feel a bit big, but they still fit well. Another consequence of flat feet is my heel often has a tendency ... MoreFall 2022: I bought a new pair of Keen Targhee III boots to replace an identical pair I had bought in summer 2018.

I have NOT had that problem with these boots - the heel pocket grips my feet well.In comparing the new and old boots, their construction and materials appear to be identical; I haven't noticed any differences. The 2018 pair was made in Thailand, the 2022 pair was made in India.Bottom line: Nice boots, just don't expect them to last forever.

I am personally a huge fan of majorly all lines that Keen has made.

I was unpleasantly surprised at how fast he wore out the Ecco’s but it turns out they use a very soft rubber outsole which is amazingly great for confort but not as much for durability. At least he loved them :)

After wearing Durand for five years and 633 miles (I log all my longer hikes) I had to replace them due to worn soles. I searched and search and waited for a new Keen model to fit my needs. I would have gone back to Durand, but the current model does not have ventilation windows. I was concerned for sweating feet since I mostly hike SoCal mountains. I decided to give Targhee III a chance.After five months of use and on several types of terrain, the Targhee and I are getting along well. The length of the foot bed seemed long at first, but I can wiggle my toes in the wide toe box which I like. The soles are thinner than Durand and you can feel pointed rocks if you walk over them without a backpack and with a light backpack around the same.

The boot is not padded on the sides as much as I would like and the tongue is narrow so debris can enter your boot easy if you aren't laced up high and tight, or wearing a gaiter.On the plus side, Targhee III boots have very good traction on sand, dirt and rock. I used them for five months before reviewing and after a recent 11-mile hike on Mount Wilson, CA and my feet did not have any issues at all.If a new Durand model comes out next year with ventilation windows I would buy them quickly for my longer day hikes of 12-20 miles, while using the Targhee for shorter hikes and in the foothills. Overall, Targhee III has performed well for me.

I really wanted to like and love this boot, but...
4 November 2022

Everything about this boot seemed perfect for me. Previously, I went through 2 pair of Vasque New Briers over the last 30 years that I simply wore slap out but LOVED them, unfortunately they did away with good QA/QC in their factories and are no longer an option. SO, got these. Wore them walking the dog 3-4 times for about 12 miles (pavement) - felt GREAT! Then I wore them on our first backpacking trip (30 miles total). The first 10 miles or so were phenomenal, boot felt like an old pair of gloves. But started noticing my left foot with pain around the cuboid bone/upper 5th metatarsal. Since I'd never had that before, I took off the boot, inspected for dirt or foreign objects - nothing. Kept going toward camp, problem continued and worsened. At camp had time to ... MoreEverything about this boot seemed perfect for me.

At camp had time to fully inspect the boot again, and compare it to the other. That's when I realized the left boot did not receive the same amount of internal padding around the lace eyelets that the right boot had; this Quality Control issue was the sole cause of my pain and my bad purchase. REI graciously allowed me to return them for a different brand; if they (KEEN) had just done their proper due diligence in the quality control process of manufacturing I'd have this boot for another 10 years, too bad. It's so frustrating that companies seem to be ditching quality for quantity, first Vasque now Keen.

Most comfortable, easiest break in ever.
21 May 2022

I am just buying myself and my wife each a 2nd pair of these. As some have noted, durability is where these boots lack, but that's all. I've owned and hiked the heck out of my first pair for about a year, and while they are still usable, the rubber is starting to show wear. But for the comfort, waterproof-ness and breathability, I'll buy a new pair every year and you can call me a happy camper. There is almost no break in period, not a single blister, sore spot, or anything has ever come about while wearing these boots. The wide toe box is awesome, and if you have wide feet like I do, the wide version of these boots is even better! Traction in all conditions is superb. I've used these on dry trails, typical muddy PNW trails, granite, obsidian, snow, ice, you name it ... MoreI am just buying myself and my wife each a 2nd pair of these.

I've owned so many different trail footwear from high end boots, low end cheapo boots, trail runners, minimalist sandals, forestry caulked logging boots and everything, these Keen Targhee 3 boots will be my choice over all of them for nearly everything I do.

Poor quality
19 August 2022

I picked up a pair of these boots in preparation for the work season from my local REI (brand new. I doubt there would be a pair of these in functional shape used). I manage a Zipline course and the property in the mornings are always dew covered. I bought these around the middle of March as a birthday gift to myself. The adhesive where the sole meets the side wall of the shoe around the toe box has completely pulled away, exposing the layers of material underneath. This has happened around the entire front of each shoe. Also, the visible material on the shoe itself has begun to erode away, leaving widening cracks similar to dry rot.I've seen other keens start to separate from the sole, but I'm amazed at how quickly these boots fall apart.I work very ... MoreI picked up a pair of these boots in preparation for the work season from my local REI (brand new.

I haven't had time to hike or backpack yet this year and I think that was for the best. I doubt these boots would make it through a week of hiking.

Probably Good Enough
24 September 2022

I was in need of some new dog walking boots so I went to the flagship store to take advantage of the Labor Day sale to see if I could purchase some boots that I could actually try on before purchasing. I have smaller than average sized feet and brick and mortar retailers no longer seem to be willing to stock smaller men's size hiking boots, apparently thinking that us males with smaller sized feet can just fit into women's sizes (we can't because of obvious differences between male and female anatomy). I was able to get the attention of a floor person in the shoe department who tried to discourage me on the possibility of finding any men's boots in my size, but after much pleading, I was able to get him to go back and look anyway for either a size 7 or size 7.5.

He returned shortly with those sizes of this particular boot, dumped them on the bench and left never to be seen again. Fortunately I am an experienced hiker and I was able to determine that the size 7 fit OK. So far they have been satisfactory for dog walking and I tried them out on a real hike where they were acceptable but not outstanding since I do a lot of off trail hiking and scrambling and I don't really trust them for steep slopes that require edging. They are perfectly fine for easy trail hiking and fit OK for wide feet which makes them perfect for inner city dog walking.

So far so good, time will tell.

So far I’m really happy with these boots. As a family we’re making a conscience effort to get outdoors more and take advantage of the National Parks that are close by us here in Northern Virginia. I had been just wearing my hiking boot like work boots which are comfortable, but pretty soft and flexible and not waterproof. I was in my area REI picking up a sleeping bag system and decided to look at boots with no intent to buy any. After trying on 4 or 5 different pairs of boots these won out for the fit on my foot. I wear men’s 11-11.5US and ended up in an 11US in these, so I’d say pretty true to size. They’re nice and wide and I don’t feel like they’re crushing or pinching my foot. The sole/shank are good and rigid but flexible so I feel I have good support. A few ... MoreSo far I’m really happy with these boots.

The sole/shank are good and rigid but flexible so I feel I have good support. A few days after purchasing them I wore them for almost 24 hours straight at a Scouts camping event without any issues, and that was after walking 18 holes of golf for the first time in 12ish years the day before. The only thing I have to watch is when I’m lacing them up and ensure I get the laces pulled snug around my ankle to limit heal slip. I suspect as I wear them in this will happen more naturally and won’t require me to ensure I get a solid grip around my ankle. The waterproofing works well as I was one foot in the pond fishing with the kids and had no water in the boots. I’ve not had any issues with losing traction on easy to moderate very wet trails. If you have a wider foot like I do I highly recommend giving these a shot. All in all I’m super happy with these boots and expect many years of reliable use out of them.

These boots (and insoles) made Half Dome a breeze
29 September 2022

I’ve never had much luck with hiking boots (I’ve got some awkward, flat feet), but when we managed to snag Half Dome permits I knew I’d need some good shoes to pull me through.Got these two weeks to prior to the trip and put roughly 12 miles on ‘em to break them in. But every time I put them on, my feet were SCREAMING from a lack of arch support. I got real scared as the trip got closer, so I went back to REI and they hooked me up with a standard pair of hiking insoles.Those. Things. Made. My. Boots. A. Dream.How much of a dream?After only two weeks of on and off wear (and really only three days with the insoles), I managed to hike Half Dome (13 hours, 17.2 miles round trip, and 5k ft elevation gain) with no hotspots, blisters, or even any real foot pain. ... MoreI’ve never had much luck with hiking boots (I’ve got some awkward, flat feet), but when we managed to snag Half Dome permits I knew I’d need some good shoes to pull me through.Got these two weeks to prior to the trip and put roughly 12 miles on ‘em to break them in.

Imagine my surprise when others in my group took off their well-worn boots back at camp and couldn’t say the same!Honestly, these boots surprised me. Sure, they might not be the trendiest looking things out there on the trail, but I’ll take the comfort and quality these provide any day. 10/10 recommend.…just make sure to get a good pair of insoles to go with them 😉

Very Disappointed
13 November 2022

Got these boots in March 2022. Soon after receiving them in the mail, I wore them on a 4 day, 3 night backpacking trip in Shenendoah NP and thought they did great. They were grippy, waterproof and comfortable. Comfort is very important because I have bunions and need a wide toe box.Since then, as of November 2022, I wear them nearly every day to walk the dog. I wear boots because of dew or rain on the grass in the park where we walk. Also, I wear them on weekends when I work around the yard. Full disclosure, my front yard has a steep hill I need to traverse with the lawnmower. So, I wear them a lot but they don't really get used on especially difficult terrain.

Soon after receiving them in the mail, I wore them on a 4 day, 3 night backpacking trip in Shenendoah NP and thought they did great. They were grippy, waterproof and comfortable.

I wear boots because of dew or rain on the grass in the park where we walk. Also, I wear them on weekends when I work around the yard. Full disclosure, my front yard has a steep hill I need to traverse with the lawnmower. So, I wear them a lot but they don't really get used on especially difficult terrain. The main thing is they go through a daily cycle of getting wet in the morning and drying out indoors for the next 23 hours.The durability of the boots has been poor. The outer sole has become detached on both boots in multiple different places. In fact, the sole came entirely unglued on the left boot. I have glued them back on multiple times. The shoe glue I bought on Amazon seems to work better than the factory-glued sole. Also, on both boots, the leather on either side of the upper has split open revealing the fabric beneath. It also reveals how thin is the material making up the leather upper.So I got about 8 months of daily dog walks on the dewy grass and one modest backpacking trip out of these boots. Very disappointing indeed.
