I just bought a pair of these, the non waterproof, breathable ones. I am so impressed with the build quality,comfort and durability of these hiking shoes. They were the only hiking shoes that fit my wide feet too. I am expecting these shoes to last for years. They appear indestructible. Looking forward to goinh on a lot of hikes with these babies!
They are very comfortable, slip resistant even on wet, soapy, and greasy restaurant kitchen floors. Unfortunately they only last 3 to 4 months before the sole components start coming unglued and the stitching begins to fail. The first pair was replaced under warranty but the second pair did the exact same thing, not worth $180.00. KEEN needs to improve these with better glues and tougher stitching.
Switched today from Keen to Merrell. Have had 5 pairs of keen boots, extremely comfortable and absolutely love them. Only reason I switched is every pair I've had only lasted 4-5 months. My last pair were the targhee iii and regretted buying them after looking them over. You can see clearly they are held together by glue that doesn't last and after 3 months the sole is peeling off in different places and sides of the boot are torn through just from walking. Not going to pay 180+ for a keen boot that might last a little longer. Sad to see, they're really screwing over their customers
Yes I've gone through the warranty process. But all they'll give you is a 100$ credit through their website, and their boots cost more than that so you still gotta pay. And when that pair only lasts a short time, you have no more warranty.
Tried the Merrell boots, didn't last any longer. Finally found the danner vicious. I'm getting about 7 months out of them and they're more comfortable than keens. Runnings has them on sale often for 140. I also put that KGs tough toe on them on all the stitching and seams. I love them
I've worn these for landscaping and worked great for breathability and keeping my feet cool in the Summer while at the same time dry from morning dew on wet lawns. The only con was that they only last one season and the sole eventually rips apart from shovel kicking.
Could you show shoes from above, please? And show somehow the toebox shape. I've bought a pair of Targhree III and after few days realized that while it's wide enough in the middle it's too narrow in toebox and my toes are squeezed.
Is the Targhee ll wider in the forefoot? I wish you would make a true wide...the wides are more of a 2E - like all the brands. Super disappointing for those of us with 4E feet (or slight bunions). The base/shape just needs to be widened/rounder in the forefoot (check out a Men's Hoka Bondi 7 or Men's Ghost 4E. I know they're sneakers but you'll see what I mean) which would allow 2E/4E to fit via sock. You'd be the first! Making them more sleek to me means making them narrower??? The other thing: for those of us with orthotics (I have metatarsalgia), when you take out your insole, it's a hard surface. Put more cushion into sole, not insert. Thanks for ear.
Despite many comments online, I find Targhee III a lot better than Targhee II. The II feels way too large for the same size for both the feet and the ankle. And the bottom feels like the three season tire while the III looks the all season tire.

Targhee III has been a fantastic hiker for me. I also just wear it around at work; super comfortable on the trail and on the job.

They have a 1 year warranty, did you submit a claim?

I had the same problem, replaced the first pair under warranty only to have the second pair do the same thing.

Agree on the soles coming unglued. Bad quality control.
Mine fell to pieces in under a year. Dreadful shoe. Not a patch on the old version

They keep rising the prices and the quality going down made in China
