Targhee III Low WP

Verdict

The KEEN Targhee III Low WP is a high-performing option in its class — a day hiking low scoring 85/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 388g, it is on the heavier side for a day hiking low. The 28mm heel stack — a moderate stack — delivers a firm ride at 42 HC, returning 44% of impact energy and feeling cushion-focused rather than reactive underfoot. Geometrically, the Targhee III Low WP runs on a high 12mm drop that cushions the transition for heel strikers, with a 16mm forefoot stack that maintains the traditional heel-elevated geometry runners with tight calves often prefer. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 110mm — extra-wide, suited to broad or bunion-prone feet — and the upper is available in D/2E widths. Wide toe box. Low-cut version of Targhee III Mid. The removable insole makes it compatible with custom orthotics. It is designed for day hikes, wide feet, rocky terrain, waterproof protection, and performs less well for speed hiking or very hot conditions.
