How do I clean the leather upper?
Clean the leather upper with mild soap and cold water. Use a stiff brush or soft cloth to remove dirt. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a KEEN.DRY waterproof breathable membrane designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions while allowing moisture vapor to escape.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the Luftcell air-injected insole is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or different types of insoles for personalized comfort and support.
What is KEEN.FUSION construction?
KEEN.FUSION construction is an advanced bonding method that connects the shoe's upper to the sole without using glue, resulting in a more durable and environmentally friendly product.
What kind of terrain are these shoes best for?

Do the laces contain recycled materials?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose in the toe box
Try lacing the shoes more tightly, focusing on securing the midfoot and heel. Consider using thicker socks or an aftermarket insole for a snugger fit.
Waterproofing seems compromised
Ensure laces are tied securely and the tongue is properly seated. Clean the shoes and consider reapplying a suitable waterproofing treatment to the leather and seams.
Traction is reduced on certain surfaces
Clean the outsole lugs to remove embedded mud or debris. Worn-out lugs may indicate the end of the shoe's durable traction life; consider replacement if significant wear is visible.
Discomfort after a long hike
Ensure proper lacing technique is used to distribute pressure. The removable insole can be replaced with a more supportive or cushioned option if needed. Allow feet to recover after long hikes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Keen Targhee IV Hiking Shoes require no specific setup beyond ensuring the correct fit. They are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for hiking and general outdoor activities. They are compatible with most hiking socks. The Original Fit design means they offer generous space in the forefoot, which is ideal for wider feet or those who prefer extra room for swelling during long walks.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Targhee IV shoes:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and debris with a stiff brush or soft cloth. Clean the nubuck leather and textile upper using mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and retain their shape during drying.
- Protection: For enhanced water resistance and material protection, consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather and synthetic footwear after cleaning and drying.
