Full details

FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for hiking in rugged terrain?
Yes, the KEEN Targhee 3 Open Toe Sandal features a high-traction rubber outsole with multi-directional lugs and a stability shank, making them suitable for moderate hiking trails and rugged outdoor use where open-toe protection is acceptable.
How do I clean the leather components?
Gently brush the leather with a soft, damp sponge to remove loose dirt. Treat stains immediately with a mild cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals and air dry away from direct heat. Consider using a leather conditioner suitable for outdoor footwear periodically.
What does 'KEEN Original Fit' mean?
KEEN Original Fit provides generous space across the forefoot, allowing toes to spread naturally, which can enhance comfort and balance, especially during long periods of wear or activity.
Will my feet stay dry in wet conditions?
The KEEN.DRY waterproof breathable membrane is designed to keep your feet dry from external moisture while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape, providing protection in wet terrains.
Can I replace the footbed?
Yes, the footbed is removable. You can replace it with your preferred aftermarket insole for added customization of cushioning or arch support.
How does the speed lace system work?
The speed lace webbing system uses a toggle closure to quickly and securely adjust the fit. Simply pull the toggle to tighten and release to loosen, allowing for easy on-and-off and on-the-go adjustments.
Are these sandals good for wide feet?
The 'KEEN Original Fit' offers a more generous volume and wider forefoot compared to some conventional fits, which often makes them suitable for individuals with wider feet.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the speed lace webbing system. Ensure the heel capture system is engaged for a secure fit. If the overall volume is too large or small, consider the 'Original Fit' characteristic and whether a different size might be more suitable.
Waterproofing seems reduced
Check the KEEN.DRY membrane for any punctures or damage. Ensure all seams are intact. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment to the exterior materials if they appear to be absorbing water.
Poor traction on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole lugs of any packed mud or debris. The KEEN.ALL-TERRAIN rubber is designed for grip, but excessive buildup can impede performance. Ensure you are on surfaces the sandal is designed for.
Discomfort after extended wear
Ensure the footbed is properly seated and the laces are adjusted to distribute pressure evenly. The removable footbed can be replaced with an aftermarket insole if additional cushioning or arch support is desired.
