The KEEN Targhee III Open Toe Sandal is a rugged, adventure-ready sandal designed for those wanting trail-worthy performance and comfort in a breathable, summer-friendly package. This model takes cues from KEEN's popular Targhee hiking shoes, offering a roomy fit and supportive platform with open construction for maximum ventilation. Its premium waterproof leather upper and quick-dry lining make it suitable for wet environments, whether around water, light trails, or casual urban outings.
Key technical features include a KEEN.ALL-TERRAIN rubber outsole with multi-directional lugs for reliable grip on a variety of surfaces, and a dual-density EVA midsole that ensures both lightweight cushioning and sustained support. The contoured EVA footbed provides all-day comfort with notable arch support. For a tailored fit, the sandal features three adjustable hook-and-loop straps—two across the forefoot and one at the heel.
The sandal has a wide, accommodating fit, making it particularly suitable for those with broader feet or who enjoy ample toe room. It’s flexible and easy to walk in, with a secure, locked-in feel even on long days. However, its underfoot cushioning is thinner compared to hiking shoes—offering good ground feel but less shock absorption on rocky terrain. Best suited for summer hiking, travel, or casual wear, it combines durability, easy adjustability, and fast-drying comfort in a versatile, eco-conscious design.
