Verdict
The KEEN Targhee III Mid WP is a high-performing option in its class — a mid hiking boot scoring 85/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 480g, it is on the heavier side for a mid hiking boot. The 30mm heel stack — a moderate stack — delivers a firm ride at 44 HC, returning 42% of impact energy and feeling cushion-focused rather than reactive underfoot. Geometrically, the Targhee III Mid WP runs on a high 14mm 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 (KEEN's signature). Go half size down. The removable insole makes it compatible with custom orthotics. It is designed for multi-day hikes, wide feet, rocky terrain, ankle support, and performs less well for speed hiking or very hot conditions.
