KEEN Men's Targhee Mid Height Waterproof Hiking Boots

These shoes are light, perfectly sized, look great and very high quality. My only recommendation is that you break the shoes in on smaller hikes before using for longer hikes. I foolishly decided to hike 12 miles on my first use, and ended up with several blisters and a bruise on my shin where the edge of the shoe rubbed. They are very tough and rugged, and completely waterproof. even after walking for miles in heat and through 3 inches of water, they maintain very little to no odor.

These are the best shoes ever! I have worn this exact style for years and couldn't find them in the store anymore, I was thrilled to find them on Amazon and at a great price. They are true Keen's with perfect fit and durability. I ordered two pairs!

I've been buying Keen's for 16 years now and have gone through dozens of pairs of their hiking shoes. Lately, I have toned down my hiking, but I still like the Keen shoes for daily wear. I am a loyal Keen enthusiast not only because they make a great shoe, but once, in 2012, I had a pair of Targhee II that had a faulty eyelet that broke the first time I wore it. Keen promptly replaced the boots with no questions asked. That action by them made me a Keen customer for life.These Targhee III's are replacing another pair of Targhee III's that will now be relegated to yardwork only. These hiking boots have a relaxed feel - they are light and nimble (not heavy or clunky). I feel comfortable doing anything in these boots and that is why they are what I wear 80% of the time. My wife wears a more, 'traditional', hiking boot and she only wears those on the trail because they do well on the trail, but aren't great anywhere else. These Keens are champs on the trail and perform well in most other situations as well.I love that they are waterproof and that the soles are grippy. I have never lost my footing because of my Keens. If you've never worn Keens before, the toe box is large and roomy. My feet are narrow near the heel and normal up front - these boots are snug on my heel and leave room for my toes.

I was initially very happy with these. Fit was great, and very comfortable as I would expect from a Keen shoe.I wear these 2-3 days a week during my weekends. Pretty light use. Maybe 5-6mi a day of walking and the occasional dirt path.Within a couple of months the gussets on these started to crack and fall apartbas experienced by a number of others here. The quality of the material used on the gussets is atrocious. A shame because the boot is in otherwise great shape. Still have full tread (I'd hope so since they're still barely used), upper leather and even the inside parts barely show wear. Hate to have to throw out a good boot but once the cracks start growing larger - I imagine very soon - it'll be done.Extremely disappointed and leaves me a bad taste about buying future Keen products. Will be trying something else soon enough.

I purchased these boots following " Amazon recommended size " After wearing them for several weeks I detrimed they were the wrong size, foot slipping forward and back,unable to lace tight. I've purchased a replacement Keen replacement from Amazon. I'm hoping Amason will assist me with this situation.

Extremely comfortable!!!! Do size up! These are amazing for turkey hunting or hiking!!!! Light weight!

You get what you pay for, they are expensive, but very good quality and very comfortable

I like these boots. They fit well for my wide feet and are comfortable with the aid of a new insert, but that is because of my failing arch.My issue is the gluing of the upper to the sole is not consistent. So much so that this particular pair I received had spots that weren't glued right out of the box. I fixed that myself, which I'm happy I can do. But then the next issue arises before the year is up. That being: the upper cracks and seperates from the sole which renders it no longer waterproof. This happens the fastest where the toes bend, then works its way towards the arch of the shoe. This is my second pair of this exact boot and it has happened both times. One time bought in a store and the second time bought on Amazon, so it's not a knockoff issue or anything like that. I wish they could fix this problem, but for the price, I will have to look elsewhere.
