PFC-Free Construction

  • PFCs (perfluorinated chemicals) are used everywhere in the outdoor industry.
  • They create a dense coating on fabrics; water beads up instead of soaking in.
  • They’re durable, and they do a good job. However, they’re also suspected carcinogens and break down very slowly.

Breathable Mesh

  • Heat has met its mesh.
  • Breeze through the heat with a lightweight performance mesh upper, mesh panels, and a breathable mesh lining, all designed to keep feet cool.

KEEN.DRY Waterproof

  • Don’t sweat the tough stuff.
  • Push your limits with the help of KEEN.DRY, a waterproof, breathable membrane that lets vapor out without letting water in.

Customers are mixed about the durability of the boot. Some mention it's constructed from high-quality materials, while others say it started coming apart after barely 2 months.

Customers are dissatisfied with the lacing of the boot. They mention that the rivets in the lace hook come undone, the laces come untied, and the right inside sole has separated. The stitching is coming out in the toe, and goretex pulled out of stitch seems. One of the top riveted on lace loops popped out after a week of wear. Customers also say that the seam on the side was coming undone. They also mention that rubber toe started to separate, and that the shoelace loop below the metal loop broke.

"...a very good brand, but it’s only been a year and the stitching is coming out in the toe...." Read more

Most comfy, but questionable durability
4 Stars
Most comfy, but questionable durability
Update 1/16/2024: contacted Keen supported support, they reviewed my claims and gave me a credit to purchase replacements directly from Keen. I upgraded to the Targhee 4. Fit the same same, subtle differences, appear to be a little overbuilt. I am a happy customer. Note* the Targhee 3 were so comfortable I recommended them to my girlfriend and my parents, all happy customers.Most comfortable shoes I own, right out of the box. I’ve hiked maybe 20-30 miles in 6 months in them now and I’ve never had an issue until today. The upper leather material at the toe separated from the shoe. Hoping it’s a manufacturing defect I can get a replacement for.

1.0 out of 5 stars Boots were critically damaged after 5 months
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2024
The boots are declared as wear-resistant, high-strength. Cracked 5 months after purchase. I was very disappointed and upset by the poor quality. This is completely different from what I expected for almost $170.
This fact does not negate the fact that the shoes are very comfortable. One of the disadvantages is that shoelaces are constantly being loosened.

Unas de las mejores botas que he adquirido jamás, cómodas, resistentes, con excelente protección tanto de tobillo como frontal...más que satisfecho, ya les he puestos unos cientos de kilometros, escalado montañas, hecho rapel, cruzado rios y siguen como el primer dia que me las puse, son unas botas que compraria una y otra vez...
