I needed a pair of hiking boots for a three day hike in Rocky Mountain National Park. After trying out several competitors boots at around the same price point, I decided on the Targhee III. I completed the 3-day hike recently and I am very happy with these boots. I was carrying a 35 to 40 pound pack through rocky rooty trails and loved the feel of these boots. I do not care for hiking boots with more rigid soles since I like to have a better feel for the terrain under my feet. The Targhee III's sole gave me that feel without discomfort when walking on more jagged rocks. Perfect boot for me.

Bought these to replace my low-cut Targhee IIs which were delaminating along the sole way too early. The new design of the sole looks to have addressed the problem, I hope. They seem to run a half-size larger than the IIs so I installed an insole. They're also lighter even than my low-top IIs, which is a good thing! Stylistically I like the look of the IIs better. The stripe down the center of the vamp at the laces looks a bit goofy in person. I didn't notice it in the on-line photos, and the abrasion strip around the sides might maintain the shoe better over the long haul but it's just not as nice-looking a shoe, in person, as the II. Aesthetics not withstanding, it's another fine product from Keen. My small construction crew is normally 100% Keen equipped because they're comfortable and hold up longer than many other brands we've tried.

I'd give these 5 stars, if Keen would have inserted a good quality insole. (Factory insole cheap, thin, and hard) - play disc golf in dewey grass - waterproof and feel great

Fit like a glove! No break in required. Did 10 miles on the AT and like every pair of Keens before, comfortable and supportive.

Awesome Shoes, very comfortable. I have wide feet and no other boot fits me better.

More like a tennis shoe than hiking boot

I really like the boots. Very comfortable for all day wear. My feeling is the boot runs just a little bit wide even with medium weight hiking socks. Overall, very satisfied!

Got these as a warranty replacement as my last pair started cracking where the leather met the soles. After about a month of use this new pair (actually a more expensive pair) are already cracking/splitting at the same spot.
