KEEN Men's Targhee 3 Oxford Casual Hiking Shoes

Good shoe great for broad feet Comfortable. Recommend

I'm on my 2nd pair of these, the first pair lasted a year and still had go in them, but I treated myself before being pushed by necessity. I am 22 stone, have wide feet and walk 4 miles a day on work days, plus whatever my time off throws at me, and these shoes have been the best I've ever had. They are comfortable out of the box, but firm and supportive. Laces supplied are a bit like para cord and haven't needed replacing in my experience. The uppers have taken whatever has been thrown at them without cracking or showing obvious wear, the soles obviously wear, but the process is slow enough to be comparable to similar products. Just to be real, the contrasting colour stripes across the sole can start to peel away at the sides, and I have fixed this with Viomis Professional Glue, which has lasted thereafter, and wet traction isn't quite up to Spider Man levels, but neither of these small limitations will persuade me to knock a star off. A shoe shouldn't have to cope with being worn by me, but these do.

I swear by Keen Shoes. I have been wearing their sandals for years and think they are the perfect shoe. My Keen hiking boots are now coming on for seven years old and frankly still have plenty of life left in them. I got these shoes for work as black leather and plain design was ideal. I cannot fault how comfortable they are. I can wear these all day and never feel the need to whip them off when I get home. For that I think they are excellent. However there are a few design issues that are not as good as their boots and sandals. The foam that surrounds the sole is a very soft material that is easily pulled away from the shoe lining., If you catch them on things it has the tendency to pull away from the shoe bed. I am also noticing that the inside of the heel is looking like it is starting to fray a bit. Considering how long the keen boots and sandals lasted. I am a little disappointed. But as I said, the comfort is second to none. I would probably buy them again for the tasks I got them, but its a bit of a shame they aren't super tough.

Excellent value for money and perfect fit!

I loved these keen Oxford shoes when I purchased them. Very wide toe and great for my foot arthritis. However after just two months the stitching started to break and the sole of the shoes started letting in water. I've only worn these to work and only in light rain. I've not hiked in them or even worn them on wet grass. These shoes are not fit for purpose. I am so disappointed that I spent so much money expecting a quality shoe and ended up with something that is only fit for the bin.

Good Shoe very happy

Just taken deliver of these, and first impressions, I'm absolutely delighted with them. Trying them on they have, for me that instant ahhh feeling. In fairness I've had two pairs of the regular Targhee 3 WPs before but this newer Oxford version whilst being the same (wider) fitting which I've enjoyed just seem less fussy and contrived in their build using more leather - good quality soft leather at that, that I think should be more straightforward to care for. Might let you know how I get on with them once I've worn them in - not that I think they'll take much wearing in but I have just signed up for a Macmillan (marathon) Mighty Hike in three weeks time! 😅

The sole of the shoes has started to come away. Not what I expected considering the price!
