Keen Targhee III Mid Waterproof for Men

Substandard Quality – Quite comfortable but very poor construction. They aren't waterproof the Keen.Dry Waterproof membrane is very poor compared to Goretex. The leather near the sole is really Faux leather as it cracks and splits, so just not value for money. Worn appropriately 2 to 3 days per week. Replaced with a reputable brand with Goretex for only a few dollars extra. Show details

I had to use Shoe Goo to adhere the soles at 8 points. This is an obvious a quality control issue as others have reported similar outcomes. From a reputable company this is really disappointing. Show details

I was walking on paths and not walking through water. Very disappointed in a product that I have had previous positive experiences with . I would seriously reconsider buying these shoes for my next trip. I have included pics to show that the shoes were new and examples of the deterioration.
