Targhee IV Waterproof Mid Hiking Shoe (Men)

In my first 90 days of use, these boots have delivered excellent comfort right out of the box with very little break-in required. The waterproofing has held up well in wet conditions, and the traction provides reliable stability across uneven and rugged terrain. While I have not yet tested long-term durability, the materials and construction feel high-quality and built to last, making these a strong early investment for serious outdoor use.

I tried a pair of the targhee 4’s mid waterproof in 12 way too tight. So then I tried a pair of the 12 wide I wore around the house 4-5 days. They seem to be OK. Now, after wearing them outside three or four times I find their way too big. I’m slapping around in them and now I’m stuck with them, because I wore them outside. Operator error but I found them difficult to size in the store and at home before venturing outside. My old targhee2’s [ I think ] are 12 wide and fit like a glove for years

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] “Light weight” is a good description if you mean it to be light duty. First, the boot is very comfortable, great for walking around on even terrain. Not so good on rocky, uneven terrain—too flexible. For rugged terrain, Keen would need to stiffen the boot, specifically, provide better torsional stiffness. It might add weight but it would be a better backpacking boot. As it is, it provides no more support than a sneaker. Nonetheless, it is truly light in weight and a joy to wear out of the box. Big toe box but sizing runs small. Get one size up from your normal shoe size.
