Product Information
Full details
Designed for adult men seeking comfort and grip on warm-weather trails, the KEEN Targhee III Open Toe Sandals offer a lightweight, breathable alternative to traditional hiking boots. Their key benefit is superior traction on varied terrain combined with easy on-and-off access. A potential caveat is that open-toe designs may offer less protection in rugged environments. This sandal features washable polyester webbing, a secure lace-lock system, and a durable rubber outsole with a multi-directional lug pattern for enhanced stability and comfort during summer adventures.

FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for long-distance hiking?
Yes, they are designed for comfort on trails with lightweight cushioning and arch support. However, for extremely rugged or long-distance treks where extensive foot protection is needed, a closed-toe hiking shoe might be more appropriate.
Can I wear these sandals in saltwater?
Yes, the washable polyester webbing and quick-dry lining make them suitable for saltwater. It's recommended to rinse them with fresh water after saltwater use to prolong their life.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by KEEN, paying attention to the UK sizing. The sandal has a roomy fit, so consider if you prefer a snugger or more relaxed feel when choosing your size.
Do these sandals offer good toe protection?
They feature a high-abrasion rubber toe cap for protection against minor bumps and scrapes, similar to water shoes. However, they do not offer the same level of protection as a fully enclosed hiking boot.
Are the insoles removable?
No, the footbed is non-removable but provides built-in arch support for all-day comfort.
Can I put these sandals in a washing machine?
Yes, KEEN recommends machine washing these sandals on a gentle cycle with a small amount of detergent. Ensure you air dry them afterward.
What is the main difference between the Targhee III Open Toe Sandal and the Targhee III boot?
The open-toe sandal offers more breathability and freedom for warm weather, with easier on-and-off functionality. The boot provides more comprehensive protection for the ankle and foot in varied and challenging conditions.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the lace-lock bungee system. Tighten for a more secure fit or loosen for more comfort. Ensure the heel strap is properly positioned.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While designed for wet grip, ensure the outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. The wave grip pattern performs best on cleaner surfaces.
Discomfort after first use
The sandals may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your foot.
Material feels stiff
Allow the sandals to air out. If they have been stored for a long time, they may need time to regain flexibility. Washable polyester webbing will soften with use and washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
