Customer Reviews KEEN Targhee III Open Toe H2

These sandals have a fatal design flaw. The velcro on the forefoot is too short and doesn’t properly secure into place. In the photo I have the sandal at its maximum width so if you tighten the sandal at all then this flaw will be even worse. As soon as these sandals get into the water the straps curl up. To make things worse some genius decided that it would look cool to put a huge piece of rubber on the end of the strap (instead of securing it in place like Teva’s do). Well, this piece of rubber acts like a paddle and if you are in moving water (or walking in water) then this rubber piece will flap back and forth until the velcro comes undone - total failure! It’s as if when Keen designed these they never actually tested them in water! On the plus side, these have very high initial comfort and they were my favorite sandals out of several I tried in terms of comfort. But having a “water sandal” that I can’t take into the water is ridiculous and is the reason why they are getting a poor review.

I wear a size 15 shoe and have a terrible time buying sandals. Straps seem to rub, to tight here to loose there, etc. The neoprene in these (under the straps) is very comfortable, size is as expected. I have not worn them a lot, still cool at my house, but so far the fit and comfort is great. Easy order process, fast delivery, and I love the no return shipping from Zappos if the shoes don't fit as expected (my family buys a lot of shoes at Zappos).

Usually my husband won't even consider a sandal, but these really impressed him this summer. I "catch" him wearing them all the time now. He says the comfort is what he'd expect from Keen, with a good arch support. The straps allow him to snug up his narrower foot, and the stretch over the top of the foot make them feel secure. He hasn't had any issues with sweaty feet, either.

GREAT PAIR OF SANDALS. VERY GENTILE ON THE FEET. GOOD ARCH SUPPORT. AND IF YOU DONT THINK SO JUST SEND THEM BACK AT NO COST.

Very comfotable!

Really comfortable on my misshapen foot. Nicely adjustable and good support.

VERY COMFORTABLE AND THE FIT WAS PERFECT

Really comfortable, light weight sandle

Light weight, comfortable, Well-made and good value.

I'm a size 11 and the Targhee III H2 fit was true to size. They differ from my Keen Rialto closed toe sandals where I needed to size up a half size. I have flat feet and found both Chaco's and Teva's less comfortable on my arches. Out of the box I used them for light hikes and rafting in the Teton's. The neoprene backing was very comfortable and they dried quickly. From a style perspective the are a bit less clunky then other Keen offerings.

This is a true men's 10. I wear a ladies wide 11, and this fits on all counts. The heel fitting could be tighter around the back of the ankle, but THESE ARE MINOR complaints! The sole is SUPER COMFYand the front lycra across the toe bones are not too tight. LOVE the red-orange, because fun colors are hard to come by in men's shoes, which accomodate my square toes better than ladies'. There's a lot of tread on the bottom which I'll enjoy for summer hikes. The ankle strap across the top is very comfy, too. LADIES with wide feet- you will LOVE this shoe for outdoor adventures and walking all day.

I need 9.5 in Keen’s versus normal size 9.

Fit was unbelieveably comfortable right out of box, straps are firm but very comfortable, wide area of retention and good adjustments, heal and mid foot fit are excellent no flopping, they look great and first time wearing 3 comments and what are those and where did you get them

this is the second pair of KEEN snadles i have bought and they are unbelieveably comfortable! Arrived in 2 days fair pricing, great fit lang comfy walkswith cool toes

top strap is a little short when wearing socks

Okay.. so these arent the most attractive shoes, but when it comes to a comfort.. def 5stars. I got these to replace my Chacos and i am so glad I did! Very comfortable and no break in time needed

I normally wear 10 in dress shoes and between 8 and 9.5 in sandals depending on style. These are 9.5 and fit very, very well. They are very comfortable right out of the box. I like the style pretty well and am getting used to it, but the great fit trumps a minor reservation about style.

Very comfortable but rather girly looking for a man’s sandal. My wife had the same opinion of them when she saw them on me the first time.

Well made shoe and I liked the arch support but they were still a little large for me.

The strap around arch too small & the Velcro closure would not reach, so could not secure strap without it being too tight.

Purchased these in the hope they'd be as comfortable as other Keen sandals I own and was very underwhelmed by them. Fit of the ankle straps is a tad sloppy and less supportive than I'd like. The biggest issue I had with them was the foot bed was less supportive and comfortable than Keens normally are, with feelings of excessive compression of it, especially if you stand in one place for more than a few minutes, to the point I felt like I'd get pressure points. There's a definite general mushy feel to the foot bed, which is very noticeable when walking, I found my foot felt like it was rolling all over and not held well from a posture and alignment perspective, with poor heel-to-toe transition. This is bad by itself, but considerably less forgivable in so expensive of a sandal. Can't imagine how bad these would be in use for robust trail walking or even trying to light hike or scramble in.

Really only good for pools and showers. Like the quick drying a lit. Not good for walking and annoying that not enough Velcro on either end to hold straps down and ends just flap around. I think in fairness I’m just not a Keen guy because they have a very loyal following.

I ordered size 10-1/2, my usual size, but my toe goes almost all the way to the front of the sandal. The foot-bed is highly textured and feels like sand or gravel has gotten between the foot and insole. They seem well-made and I expect them to wear well. But at the end of the day, I can't wait to get them off because of the texture of the insole.

It’s very uncomfortable and cheaply made. I returned them walking in the house after five minutes. I was beyond disappointed.

These are some of the worst shoes I've ever purchased they make your feet sweat the bottom of them is uncomfortable and the fact that they're spandex underneath the straps makes them even more uncomfortable
