FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, their durable design makes them excellent for everyday use, especially if you spend time outdoors or in varied environments.
How do I ensure the right size?
These trainers follow standard adult male sizing; ensure you have about a thumb's width of space at the toe for comfort during long hikes.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
They are designed for water resistance, which is great for slushy conditions, though they are not specifically insulated for sub-zero temperatures.
How long does the waterproofing last?
The durability of the waterproofing depends on usage and care; keeping the exterior clean and free of mud helps preserve the membrane's breathability and function.
Are the insoles removable?
Most KEEN hiking models feature removable footbeds, allowing you to use custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the shoe is laced properly and that water is not running down the leg and into the collar of the mid-cut design.
Accumulation of dirt in the tread
Use a stiff brush or a specialized shoe cleaning tool to dislodge debris from the outsole lugs to maintain traction.
Stiffness when new
Wear the shoes for short periods around the house or on easy walks to allow the materials to soften and conform to your feet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are ready-to-wear trainers, no complex setup is required. For the best fit, pair these shoes with moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks to maximize the effectiveness of the waterproof lining. To maintain the life of your KEEN Targhee trainers, brush off loose dirt after every use using a soft-bristled brush. If the trainers become heavily soiled, use a mild soap and cold water to hand-wash the exterior. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause the materials to stiffen or crack.
