A shoe that actually fits
"A shoe that actually fits me! yet to test it on a full day of hiking but casual walking feels very good. Good amout of room. Seems to lock in nice. insole feels good that I can use it first before changing it out - has decent custion to it. outsole is firm with some flex, laces are firm and not stretchy at about 143cm. If I find these good then I will buy another pair. hope they do some more colors for the WIDE."

These are fantastic boots. Already
"These are fantastic boots. Already covered a number of hiking miles of different terrain and brilliant. I have size 11 and a broad foot and that often means tightness as well as half a size difference between left and right. These cover that by that wider toe box. Superb."

Excellent I have unfortunately a
"Excellent I have unfortunately a combination of foot problems that mean I need a deeper shoe to accommodate an orthotic and a wide forefoot due to bilateral hallux valgus These are a much better fit than Merrill and other big brands Delighted"

The Targhee IV boots are
"The Targhee IV boots are my 3rd pair of Keen footwear. They’re comfy from the off & waterproof (so far). I say this as my previous 2 pairs of Keen failed at around the 12 month stage, letting in water & it only took morning dew not heavy rainfall. I’m hoping the new Targhee’s are going to hold up better. This issue has occurred with other brands too having had Merrell, Columbia etc I’ll return with a review in 12 months. 4 stars for now.. 🤞"

Targhee IV wide
"I like the look of the shoes, as I slipped into them they felt comfortable, however the first time I used them a full day I got blisters around my ankle! And also felt that the she needed a little thicker inner sole, since the first use I have been using thicker socks and that stopped the blisters, however I believe I will be getting some gel soles for them."

Great Boots!
"I have had four foot surgeries so my feet are particular about what I wear. I used to wear another popular brand but they didn't have enough support. I have worn nothing but Keen Targhee's for several years for every day wear and for hiking. Great support and comfort."

Having hiked in another brand
"Having hiked in another brand for many years and with feet on the wide side and now expanding with age, I needed to find an alternative. The Keens are the choice with their generous toe box whilst ensuring secure fitting in the rest of the foot. I finally settled for the extra wide version - best to try both with socks to ensure what is best for you."

Boss Boots
"I put these on as soon as they arrived, and been wearing them since. I had been wearing San Jose for three years. This is a significant upgrade. Triple black with subtle accents looks so boss. These are real grip soles with an arch. No more flat foot shuffling. The lacing system is new to me, and works perfectly. No more eyelets, and the laces are much happier to perform. They seem to be alive. I can lace loose (relatively) or snug, depending on my groove, and the boot still moves with my foot, not off my foot. Its as if the body was engineered to suit multiple foot types, not giving up a true fit. Getting these on and off is not a chore. The toe box is perfect, and the toe flex outstanding. So glad I decided to change my style. Big 'Ups' to Keen. I absolutely love my new boss boots."

Very Comfortable but POOR protection from rocky trail
"Boots ran true to size and were very comfortable. On a smooth trail they would be great, as they were very comfortable and required nearly no breaking in. As a hiking boot being used on a rocky trail, I would advise against this boot. The Targhee II gives much better protection. I am trying the Durand II and hope it gives better protection on a rocky trail."

Still Comfortable, But Quality Continues To Decline
"Quality is not what it used to be when I started buying Keens. I’m still a buyer because alternatives are limited, but would never recommend to anyone."
