Full details
The KEEN Targhee 3 Open Toe Sandal is designed for active adults seeking versatile footwear for both wet and dry conditions. Its key benefit lies in its water-resistant, quick-drying construction combined with excellent traction and toe protection, making it ideal for hiking, water activities, and everyday wear. A potential caveat is that the fit is designed on a women-specific foot form, which may require adjustment for some users, though the wider toe box aims to enhance comfort.

FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
Yes, they are built on a women-specific foot form that is wider than the industry norm, and the toe box is designed for stability, accommodating wider feet.
Can I wear these for hiking in rough terrain?
The sandals offer good traction and toe protection for light to moderate hiking, especially where water crossings are involved. For very rugged or technical terrain, more specialized hiking boots might be preferable.
How do I clean the sandals?
They are machine washable. Use a small amount of detergent, wash on a gentle cycle, and air dry.
What does 'non-marking outsole' mean?
It means the rubber material used for the outsole is designed not to leave scuff marks or residue on indoor floors or boat surfaces.
Is the footbed removable?
No, the footbed is non-removable but provides built-in arch support for all-day comfort.
Are these sandals waterproof?
The polyester webbing is water-resistant and features a quick-dry lining, making them suitable for use in and around water, but they are not fully waterproof.
What is the purpose of the toe protection?
The high-abrasion rubber tip provides durability and protection to the toes, similar to what you would find in water shoes, guarding against bumps and scrapes.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lace lock bungee system. Tighten for a more secure fit or loosen for more room. Ensure the bungee is properly secured.
Slipping on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean. Debris can reduce traction. The wave grip pattern is designed for wet grip, but extreme conditions may still pose a risk.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Verify the fit is correct using the bungee system and check if the arch support is aligned with your foot's natural arch. Allow a break-in period if the sandals are new.
Sandal material not drying quickly
Ensure the sandals are not submerged in thick mud or excessive debris. If they are, rinse thoroughly before air drying in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct heat sources.
