Targhee Apex Waterproof Hiking Sneaker (Men)

I’m a woman who wears a men’s shoe because I need a D width (men’s medium)and finding a woman’s shoe in a D width is challenging. The Apex is a great addition to my standby shoe, the Keen Targhee hiking boot and shoe, which I have been wearing for years after my previous go-to running shoe started not fitting well. My feet have both been surgically reconstructed after tendon ruptures, and, I broke my ankle very badly four years ago, so finding shoes that fit is challenging. The Targhee low has been the only shoe I wear since my injury, and believe me, they have their place in my shoe arsenal. THIS shoe, however, takes the excellent design and fit of the original Targhee to another level. They are lighter and more flexible. The design is lovely. And, for the first time since I broke my ankle, I can walk without limping or needing a cane. Keen has really created a unique shoe for both everyday wear, walking, light hiking, maybe running. I like the addition of the heel lock double eyelet feature a lot. My only quibble is that the laces are extremely short and I had to replace them with a longer lace. I hope the next iteration of this shoe comes with longer laces.
