FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for hiking?
Yes, the KEEN Targhee 3 Open Toe Sandals are designed for hybrid use, offering good traction and support for light to moderate hiking trails, especially those that involve water crossings.
Can I wear these with socks?
While designed to be worn without socks, some users may prefer to wear thin, quick-drying socks for added warmth or to prevent minor abrasions. The open-toe design and adjustable fit can accommodate this.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart for KEEN footwear. These sandals feature a women's specific foot form that is wider than the industry norm, so consider this if you have narrower feet.
Will the polyester webbing stretch when wet?
Polyester webbing is designed to be durable and maintain its shape. It is quick-drying and will not excessively stretch or lose its structure when wet.
What is the benefit of the lace lock bungee system?
The lace lock bungee system allows for a quick and secure adjustment of the fit, making it easy to put on and take off the sandals while ensuring they stay firmly in place during activity.
Can I submerge these sandals in saltwater?
While the materials are water-resistant, it is recommended to rinse the sandals with fresh water after exposure to saltwater to prolong their lifespan and prevent corrosion of any metal components.
What is the primary advantage of the non-marking rubber outsole?
The non-marking rubber outsole prevents scuff marks or impressions on surfaces, which is particularly useful when wearing the sandals indoors, such as on boats, gym floors, or polished home floors.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too loose despite tightening laces
Ensure the bungee lace is fully engaged and secured. If the sandal is still too loose, consider the width; it may be better suited for wider feet.
Traction seems reduced on very dry, dusty surfaces
While excellent on wet surfaces, extreme dust can sometimes affect grip. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For exceptionally dry conditions, consider footwear with a different tread pattern if specialized grip is needed.
Discomfort after extended wear
Verify the lacing is adjusted for optimal pressure distribution. Ensure the correct size has been selected. If discomfort persists, consider the sock choice or break-in period.
Material seems stiff after drying
This can occur after washing. Gently flex the sandal to restore suppleness. Avoid direct heat when drying, as this can make materials brittle.
