Men's Targhee III Mid WpHiking Boot

Got these in warehouse deal for around £60 a year ago and now clicked up over 1000km. They were comfortable from the first wear and have remained waterproof. Wear on soles and slight cracking on synthetic upper section but no issues for waterproof or grip. At 8.5 UK size these are true to size for me with the added benefit of generous toebox. Much better fit than Salomon for e.g. which I find way too narrow. I have bought a second pair for when these retire but will see how far they will last. UPDATE. The 2023: Retired this pair at around 1200km and moved on to a second pair. These are now over 600km mainly winter use and doing great. Looking for a third pair now despite having merrell moab on standby. UPDATE 2025: Bought another pair in 2023 and started wearing them late 2024. They replaced a pair of Scarpa Terra GTX which I racked up 1939km by which time the soles became too slippy. Swapped these for my third pair of Targhees which as of 1 October 2025 have 1528km in. They are holding up really well, rand is still intact and soles showing wear but safe. I'll keep wearing into winter when I have another pair bought in warehouse deal ready to replace. Despite allof the negative reviews I have had a number of pairs of these which have been good or in current case exceptional particularly taking into account purchases around £65 mark.

FURTHER UPDATE: The rand on both boots has now cracked, both boots are no longer waterproof and the sole on one boot is now coming away from the upper of the boot. Worst pair of boots I have ever owned. 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.

Really comfortable. Wore them straight out of the box and no blisters. I'm a size 9 with really wide feet, I couldn't get the 'wide' option so I bought a standard size 9 and they are wide enough to be incredibly comfortable. Can't comment on the durability yet.

Good quality and Comfortable from first use Look to be strong and up to winter wear

Yeah I should have remembered. I had a pair of these 2 years year and as a lot of you are finding out they dont do wet grass but then after 3 years of trying the only boots I can find that do wet grass are wellingtons but you try walking 5 miles in wellies everyday! Anyway besides that I risked trying them again and yep they have already cracked at the toe and Ive not warn them everyday because the weather has been mainly dry since purchasing, however these are advertised as Hiking boots so by that very definition you walk in them for long periods of time, no? So again not fit for purpose, comfortable yes, need breaking in no, nice looking but totally flawed design and material choice. DO NOT BUY! If I'd brought them from a shoe shop as I did before I could have taken them back again they have 12 month returns but on here Na! I'll try contacting direct. UPDATE KEEN got back to me within 24hrs : You mention that you have bought your shoes at Amazon- an authorised retailer.

I've now brought a all leather pair based on KEENS reply, guarantee and customer service.

Keen offer a good walking boot suitable for extensive hiking and trail walking.The sizing is accurate. The soles are flexible but being vibram offer great grip. Good value for money. I walk daily and give the boots hard use on daily 10 k walks. They usually last about 6 months . The soles last longer but the uppers can fail. Either way they are not the cheapest boot but an ideal mid to lightweight boot.

I've always loved keen they are really comfortable probably the most comfortable walking boot overhead but they do say they are waterproof they are not I know it's very difficult to 100% waterproof something so it should really say water resistant I'm wore them in a wet grass area of my allotment for about two hours and I could feel the damp coming through I have now ordered some damp or water repellent to spray on the which I hope will cure the problem apart from that they're fantastic they're very good but they're not waterproof 100%

I'm now on my second pair of Targhees in less than a year. Both pairs failed in the same place, splitting both sides along the tape line above the soles. It's a real shame as they were both extremely comfortable out of the box, and waterproof. Just a shame the quality isn't there.
