FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for hiking on rough trails?
The KEEN Targhee 3 Open Toe Sandals are best suited for light hiking and trails with minimal obstacles. The open-toe design offers less protection than a closed-toe shoe, and while the outsole provides good grip, it may not be sufficient for very challenging or rocky terrain.
How do I clean the sandals?
These sandals are machine washable. Use a small amount of mild detergent and wash on a gentle cycle. Allow them to air dry completely; do not use a machine dryer.
Can I replace the footbed?
No, the footbed is non-removable. While it provides built-in arch support, custom orthotics cannot be inserted.
What does 'Water-Resistant' mean for these sandals?
It means the materials are designed to dry quickly and perform well when exposed to water. They are not fully waterproof but are engineered for activities where getting wet is expected.
How does the 'Lace Lock Bungee Capture System' work?
This system uses a bungee cord and a toggle. You pull the cord to tighten the sandal around your foot and push the toggle down to lock it in place for a secure fit. To loosen, you simply lift the toggle.
Are these sandals good for wide feet?
Yes, they are built on a women-specific foot form that is wider than the industry norm, providing improved fit and comfort, especially for those with wider feet.
What is the benefit of the non-marking rubber outsole?
The non-marking rubber outsole ensures that it does not leave scuff marks or imprints on indoor floors or boat decks, making them versatile for various environments.
Troubleshooting
Slipping on very smooth, dry surfaces
While designed for wet traction, on extremely smooth, dry surfaces, grip may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.
Sandals feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the lace lock bungee system. Push the toggle down to tighten the laces and pull up on the loop to loosen.
Discomfort after extended wear
Ensure the bungee system is adjusted for optimal comfort and support. If persistent, consider if the footbed's arch support suits your foot.
Material appears worn after a single use
The high abrasion rubber tip is designed for durability. If premature wear is suspected on other areas, check for excessive rubbing against rough surfaces.
