Reviews

Given that it has Targhee

"Given that it has Targhee in the name and it’s an original fit I thought this would be exactly the same fit as the Targhee IV Waterproof hiker but as at least one other reviewer has mentioned - it isn’t. Yes, it has wiggle room for the toes but it’s narrower around the foot and therefore a tighter fit by enough for them to be uncomfortable. Massively disappointed to be honest."

— Phil T. (2/5)

Great Shoe

"I purchased these shoes as regular walking everyday shoes. I loved all my hiking shoes from Keen so I wanted something for everyday use. The look and feel was great. Light and comfortable and fit was perfect! I ll for sure get another pair! Great shoe and quality! Go Keen!"

— Joe M. (5/5)

Absolutely love the Targhee Apex

"Absolutely love the Targhee Apex shoe, super comfy, great fit and secure heel lockdown. Wore them for the first time walking the Malvern Hills, 14 miles straight out of the box, no break in required. Roomy toe box allows toes to splay. No hot spots or blisters at all. Cannot recommend Keen enough, they are now my only go to brand for all my hiking and trail running footwear needs."

— Lee H. (5/5)

Super lite.

"Love them and they are super lite and very very comfortable. One thing I can’t pass is they are not quick dry when it’s raining but besides that they are amazing"

— Ricardo C. (4/5)

Men’s targhee

"Great fit. Super comfortable even when wearing all day. Kept my feet dry in a wet cold environment"

— Kevin R. (5/5)

Fine Quality but bad overall.

"Inline with Keen Quality, wider toe box and great tread pattern. This hiking shoe doesn't really do anything well. Comfort is on the lower end, durability is on the lower end, it's not stiff enough to support hiking with anything beyond a very small daypack but at the same time doesn't have the comfort a softer shoe would have. If the price was half or even less. . . then maybe yes. . good value. Any run of the mill trail running shoe does what this shoe does but better and usually for half the price."

Great for theme parks!

"Purchased these to wear during the rainy season in Orlando. They broke in quickly and are super comfortable. I’m glad I picked them over some of the other options!"

— Todd P. (5/5)

The TARGHEE Apex is supportive

"The TARGHEE Apex is supportive and very comfortable with the added bonus of style."

— Mike B. (5/5)

Soles will delaminate

"I used these shoes in rough and rocky conditions and the grey part of the sole delaminated from the black part"

— Ben E. (2/5)

"Bought in the sale which Keen was offering, although the colour wasnt my first choice theyre great value. Comfortable from the off, laces bit short if you use the top eyes. Not worn in anger yet but from previous reviews should be fine"

— Peter (4/5)
