FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for summer hiking?
Yes, though they are waterproof, which may make them warmer than non-waterproof mesh shoes. They are best for spring, autumn, or cooler summer days.
How do I determine if these fit correctly?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot swelling during activity.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.
Are they slip-resistant?
The outsoles are designed for outdoor traction; however, they are not specifically certified as industrial-grade slip-resistant footwear.
How should I clean the exterior?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for deeper stains, then allow to air dry away from heat sources.
Troubleshooting
Water penetration during heavy downpours
Ensure laces are tightened correctly to close the tongue gussets; if the issue persists, re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the exterior fabric.
Discomfort or pinching at the ankle
Ensure the shoe is fully broken in by wearing them for short periods; adjust lacing tension at the ankle eyelets to customize the fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your KEEN Targhee trainers, clean off excess mud or debris after each use with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane over time. For best results, use a specialized footwear cleaning product designed for synthetic or leather hybrids. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material hardening. Always loosen the laces fully when putting on or taking off the shoes to maintain the integrity of the heel counter and ankle support structure.
