Product Information
Full details
The KEEN Targhee 3 Open Toe Sandal is designed for active adults who need versatile footwear for water activities and light hiking. Its key benefit is the combination of quick-drying materials, secure fit, and excellent traction on wet surfaces. A potential consideration is that the fit is built on a women-specific foot form, which may require adjustment for some male wearers despite the wider than usual industry norm for improved comfort.

FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for long hiking trips?
While they offer good support and traction for light hiking and transitional terrains (like trails with water crossings), they are best suited for shorter hikes or as versatile adventure sandals. For extensive, rugged hiking, dedicated hiking boots might be more appropriate.
Can I replace the footbed with my own orthotics?
No, the footbed is non-removable. However, it is designed with built-in arch support for all-day comfort.
How do I know if the size will fit me properly?
These sandals are built on a women-specific foot form but designed to be wider than the industry norm for improved comfort. We recommend checking the size chart and considering your usual shoe size. Many users find they can wear their standard size.
Are these sandals completely waterproof?
The polyester webbing is water-resistant and dries quickly, but the open-toe design means your feet will get wet in water. They are designed for use in and around water, not for submersion.
What is the best way to clean them?
They are machine washable on a gentle cycle with a small amount of detergent. Always air dry them completely, away from direct heat.
Will the rubber outsole leave marks on indoor floors?
No, the outsole is designed to be non-marking, making them suitable for use on boats or indoor surfaces without leaving a trace.
What makes the 'Wave Grip' pattern effective?
The unique Wave Grip pattern creates multiple biting edges that enhance traction on slippery and wet surfaces, providing a more secure footing.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the bungee lacing system. Loosen the lock for more room, or pull the laces tighter for a more secure fit. Ensure the lace lock is engaged properly.
Discomfort or rubbing in a specific area.
Ensure the sandal is correctly sized. The wider toe box and women-specific foot form may require a short break-in period. If persistent, check for any debris inside the sandal.
Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces.
The Wave Grip pattern is optimized for wet and slippery conditions. For extremely smooth, dry surfaces, traction may vary. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris, which can affect grip.
Sandal has an odor after use.
Allow sandals to air dry completely after each use. Machine washing with a mild detergent on a gentle cycle, followed by air drying, can help eliminate odors.
