FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for summer hiking?
Yes, but be aware that the waterproof membrane may run warmer than non-waterproof trainers during high-temperature conditions.
Do I need to treat the exterior with a waterproofing spray?
The shoes come with an integrated waterproof system, but a specialized fabric-safe waterproofing treatment can be applied periodically to maintain the water-repellency of the outer material.
Are they true to size?
Keen products generally fit true to size, but we recommend wearing the specific socks you intend to hike with when trying them on.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Are these suitable for professional trekking?
They are designed for technical trail use and hiking, making them an excellent choice for most non-expedition level trekking.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the waterproof membrane is not punctured and your socks are not wicking water into the shoe from the top.
Discomfort or hotspots during long hikes
Check your lacing tension and ensure you are using moisture-wicking hiking socks to reduce friction.
Loss of traction
Inspect the outsole for mud or debris buildup in the tread patterns and clean thoroughly with a stiff brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Keen Targhee Exp Mid Wp trainers, follow these maintenance steps:
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use cold water and a mild detergent if necessary; avoid hot water, which can damage waterproof membranes.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as heat can warp materials or cause adhesives to fail.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mold and material degradation.
- Compatibility: These are standard trainers; ensure your socks are designed for moisture-wicking to complement the waterproof liner's effectiveness.
