I have purchased literally a dozen pair of the targhee 111 both waterproof and vent. The traction is unbeatable. This shoe i sometimes love and sometimes return for fit issues. Some of the pairs that I have received have been too wide, not symmetrical with right / left, Some I’ve loved and worn out right through the soles!!! Zappos I love for taking back the irregulars no questions asked.

I like how Keens fit ... they are true to size although these feel a little wider - not excessively though - than my older pair (a little extra space around toes is always appreciated but, at mid-foot, just feels weird). They are a little clunky and seem very heavy duty but still look pretty good. On trails they are very supportive although they do slip a little on wet wood and rock - not something I would have expected with the look of the sole.

I bought these to replace the original Targhee I, which were 5 stars. I ordered the same size but the 8.5 was an inch longer than the original pair and felt swimmy. So I got an 8, which matched the other in length but was slightly narrower. I have a wide foot and a bunyan, so they work but aren’t as awesome as I’d hoped.

I wanted to like these but am returning them. They hit me at the ankle bone, but worse, they are so stiff on the top, and wrinkly inside, that they leave the top of my foot raw and red after an hour. On the plus side, they have plenty of room in the toe box.

The heel kept slipping. Another pair of eyelets would have done the job, keeping the shoe from sliding off my heel.

These were stiff at first, and took some breaking in. I like them for walks in cooler weather, but have found out that they have poor traction on even slightly icy pavement. That is why my overall rating was 3 stars.

I walk a lot, both on sidewalks and on moderate trails, 3-5 miles per day. I'm pretty disappointed that the soles of these have worn out in 7 months. But I have a wide foot, with high instep and have a tough time finding shoes that work for me, so I am ordering another pair. I just think that for the cost, they should hold up a bit better

Fit and size ok. Could be a bit wider to accommodate my custom orthotic. I am returning because they are very stiff and the leather looks more like rubber. I have ordered two other styles of Keen hoping I like one of them better.

A friend recommended Keen's because she also needs a wide toe box. I ordered these because I also need waterproof. But, the toebox area feels stiff, like it's pressing in from the sides --- not comfortable, and they feel heavy --- not what I need for a walking tour of 8-11 miles/day. Looks like the hunt continues.

The shoes were too stiff, and put too much painful pressure on ankle bones.

I love Keen, but I'm wondering if they are doing some cost cutting by using less quality materials. The shoe felt less substantial, the tongue was not wide enough, and I wore them gently around the house and ended up with a very weird pain/itch on my ankle. For the cost of the shoes, I need better than this.

I normally wear a Size 7 and purchased a size 7 1/2 which was perfect. However, the shoes were very stiff, so I returned them.

I purchase this style a couple of years ago and they were super comfortable right out of the box, no break-in period needed. Unfortunately the new pair is extremely stiff around the ankle especially by the tongue portion of the shoe. It was very uncomfortable after wearing for just a few minutes. I will be sending this pair back.

I have three older Keen Targhee II, waterproof, hikers. I love all of them but they have seen better days. This Targhee III looks like it's a combat boot made out of hard rubber...certainly should be waterproof! However, I am returning due to the fit, not because it's ugly. The shoes rides high on my ankle and at the same time is too wide at the heel. Why did they try to fix what wasn't broken???

This shoe does not fit like my other Keens. It is stiff as well and rubs ankle bone with every step. Returning.

When it comes to hiking LLBean is my automatic go to for all gear. I want to like these Keen shoes. They have very good reviews on other sites. I have had Keen shoes, wore the soles out because I loved them. These are just not comfortable even after putting my ow orthotics in. I have taken them on several hikes hoping they will grow on me but they haven't. These are super stiff. They are like walking on boards. I'll keep them because I have to. I used them thinking they'll grow to love me and I'll grow to love them. But, these will find the Salavatio Army store as soon as I can find an affordable alternative.

This is at least my third pair of Targhees and I'm sorry to report that it will be my last pair. I paid a premium for them - $155! - but after not even 10 months of wear, they're worn out and starting to hurt. I'm petite so it's not like these have had to bear a whole lot; I wear them a lot but not every day and most of my daily steps are on a dirt road. There's no reason, other than poor workmanship, that I should have to buy a new pair of similar shoes.

The right top side where laces pull through, gave me a blister, there is a hard corner that cut into my front ankle.

Unfortunately I had to return them, because the shape of the structure is totally different, I had bought 2 pairs 2 years ago, and they are non-slip all-terrain, but these soles are very different...

I purchased these to replace my beloved Keen low hiker boots that are well over 10 years old. Unfortunately, when I put these on, they did not provide the same support as my current pair.
I am so disappointed! My search continues....

Absolutely horrible fit. The heel is extremely loose and sloppy and the toe box is narrow and very stiff. I had heard that Keens had a wide toe box but with the stiff leather upper and rubber toe bumper it is very unforgiving and uncomfortable. And the heel is ridiculously loose--I tried lacing it as tight as possible and my heel lifted up at least an inch with each step and my socks got scrunched down due to the excessive heel movement.

The Left shoe on the top by the inside ankle had extra padding and was high causing it to cut into my ankle bone. I purchased a previous pair and it fit perfect. This pair has a manufacturing issue.
