FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for long-distance hiking?
Yes, the full-length stability shank, underfoot cushioning, and secure fit make them suitable for long-distance hiking, especially in warm conditions. However, for very rugged terrain, consider the open-toe design's protection limitations.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Gently brush loose dirt with a soft, damp sponge. For stains, use a mild cleaner specifically designed for leather or outdoor footwear. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the footbed is removable, allowing you to replace it with custom orthotics or to clean it separately.
Will my feet stay dry in rain?
The KEEN DRY waterproof breathable membrane is designed to keep your feet dry from external moisture like rain and puddles. However, water can enter through the open-toe design.
What is the main advantage of the open-toe design?
The primary advantage is increased breathability and ventilation, making them ideal for hot weather conditions where keeping feet cool is a priority.
How does the KonnectFit heel system work?
The KonnectFit system is designed to securely hold your heel in place, providing a locked-in feel and improving overall stability and confidence on the trail.
Can I wear these sandals in water?
Yes, these sandals are suitable for use in and around water. The materials are quick-drying, and the outsole provides good traction even when wet.
Troubleshooting
Slipping sensation in the heel
Adjust the speed lace webbing system for a tighter fit. Ensure the KonnectFit heel capture system is properly engaged around your heel.
Feet feel warm or sweaty
While designed for breathability, if extreme heat is an issue, consider wearing moisture-wicking socks. Ensure the KEEN DRY membrane is not compromised.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. The lug pattern is designed for grip, but accumulated dirt can reduce its effectiveness.
Leather feels dry or stiff
Apply a KEEN-recommended leather conditioner or treatment periodically, especially after the footwear has been exposed to water, to maintain the leather's condition and water repellency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The KEEN Targhee III Open Toe Sandals utilize a speed lace webbing system for a quick and secure fit. Simply pull the laces to tighten and secure the toggle.

Care:
- Cleaning: Gently brush loose dirt from the footwear with a soft, damp sponge. For stains, use a mild cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Air dry footwear away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Waterproofing: The environmentally preferred DWR treatment on the leather helps repel water. For continued water resistance, reapply a suitable leather protector periodically as per product instructions.
