FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the KEEN Targhee sandals are built on a foot form that is wider than the industry norm, offering good stability and comfort for those with wider feet. The toe box is also notably spacious.
Can I wear these for actual hiking?
These are hybrid sport sandals designed for active use. They perform well on light to moderate trails, especially those involving water crossings, thanks to their supportive construction and superior traction. For very rugged or technical terrain, dedicated hiking boots may be more appropriate.
How do I clean my KEEN Targhee sandals?
The sandals are machine washable. Use a small amount of detergent and wash on a gentle cycle. Air dry them completely, away from direct heat.
Will the non-marking outsole leave marks on floors?
No, the non-marking rubber outsole is specifically designed to leave no imprint, making them suitable for use on boats or indoor surfaces.
Is the footbed removable?
No, the footbed is non-removable and features built-in arch support for all-day comfort.
What is the main advantage of the bungee lace system?
The lace lock bungee capture system provides a secure and customized fit that is easy to adjust. It allows for quick on-and-off without the need for traditional lacing.
Are these sandals waterproof?
The polyester webbing is water-resistant and features a quick-dry lining, making them ideal for use in and out of water. However, they are not fully waterproof and water can enter through the open-toe design.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the lace lock bungee system. Pull the toggle to tighten, and press the button while sliding to loosen. Ensure the webbing is not twisted.
Sandal making noise on hard surfaces
This can sometimes occur with new rubber outsoles. It often resolves with use. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris.
Discomfort on the arch
The integrated arch support is designed for comfort. If discomfort persists, ensure you are wearing the correct size. As the footbed is non-removable, custom orthotics cannot be inserted.
Sandal still feels wet after air drying
Ensure the sandals are placed in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. For quicker drying, you can stuff them with newspaper or paper towels to absorb excess moisture internally.
