KEEN Men's Targhee 3 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots

My Partner was very pleased they fit to normal size without having to wear think socks. Very comfortable and waterproof

The boots are comfortable and they are a wider fit than your average boot but apart from that the are terrible. They are completely not waterproof. I wore them for 6 hours in light drizzle, walking through shallow puddles during that time. My toes were wet within an hour and after 6 my feet were completely saturated. The boots then took a few days to dry out.They would be functional just as non-waterproof boots but you have the extra weight and bulk of the (useless) goretex liner as well as the fact that they are slow to dry.I also found them to be quite slippery on wet rock, gravel, etc.Don't waste your time or money... Other wide fitting boots are available elsewhere. I got sorted in Decathlon for only a few pounds more, with something much sturdier, that has a 2 year guarantee and a claim that it is 24 hours waterproof.(The returns process for this was also misleading as I was told that I would not need to package the item... The lady at the post office told me that this was a mistake on Amazons part and that they couldn't accept unpackaged goods)

I wanted a pair of everyday lightweight boots for summer dog walking, they had to be waterproof, comfortable and modestly priced these ticked all the boxes. Have worn them for two weeks they fit like glove and the heel grip system works, they have mid size toe box, measurements available on Keen website.Have walked through long wet grass and hosed them off to clean them, no sign of water penetration so far. They look robust and the smooth Nubuck looks good after applying G-wax. Probably not the most popular colour hence a good price but who cares when they are wet and muddy!Update; have had the boots for 28 months and used them regulary, estimate over 1500 miles walking, sadly they have reached the end of their useful life. The faux rubeerrised textile rand was the weak point. started to crack and diintegrate after about 18 months but has now failed structurally. Amazingly, although the waterproof liner is exposed .the boots are still waterproof!

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.

Very comfortable with a wide toe-box, which is why I got them, but they failed completely after less than 400km of walking. I hiked the southern GR20, northern part of the Kungsleden and then was walking the first week of the Lycian Way when I saw that the boot uppers had ripped their stitching on both feet and the uppers were separating from the soles. Luckily this was on the last 2 days of the walk and I was able to complete it, but with huge gaps in the sides of the boots they had lost all waterproofness and with another 30km or so in the mountains would have been unusable.

I’ve had a pair of Keen trainers for at least 7 years and worn them almost every day and they are such great quality and comfortable and have lasted well so I wanted to try these boots and ….They are fantasticFrom the moment I slipped them on they were everything I had hoped forExcellent

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.
