"Always had trouble finding shoes to fit my wide feet. Tried these keen targhee IV and got a result. Tried them on and they felt a little stiff from newness, not tight like so many others. I can wear them all day without having that "groan of pleasure" when I take them off. Brilliant. Just my experience with them"

"This is my sixth pair and love the new improvements to make them robust and longer lasting. Currently hiking in the West Highlands of Scotland and they’re built for the terrain. The courier company is the best in the UK so no issues about missed delivery or no shows- they arrived quickly. The shipping note states USA size, which is one higher than UK, so don’t freak out!"

"Bought these after a recommendation from a magazine called Stuff that gives you information on new gadgets, shoes, clothes and equipment etc and very highly recommend by it. Bought directly from the manufacturer as they were same price as online. size 6 and a half and tried them on walking 13 miles and they were sturdy, extremely comfortable on a hot day and feet felt great afterwards and not hot like I expected . Will definitely purchase from you again"

"Very comfortable with good fit. Lightweight and good style. Sole seems to retain stones and mud more than previous Keen boots. A worthwhile purchase - arrived very quickly and was kept well informed of order progress."

"Looking good so far. I really appreciate the wider fitting and squarer toebox - not an easy thing to find these days. Quality looks good - the next few years will tell!"

"I previously purchased several pairs of hiking boots that have a combination of leather and mesh construction, all of which tore on both sides of the mesh above the toes. The mesh also did not stay waterproof for more than a month of hiking use. The only thing I don't like about these Keen hiking shoes is the coated nylon type shoelaces they come with, as they work their way loose unless you double tie them."

"Very impressive construction. It is very comfortable. Lots of room for the toes which is critical. Just the right amount of cushion. A tad heavy but that’s ok because you can’t build a shoe this rugged and make it an air weight. My wife says they look great and she knows design and is very honest in her opinions. Nice work Keen. Don’t try “improving”. Leave it alone. It is perfection."

"Have had my new Targhee IV shoes for about 2 weeks. I love ‘em. I’ve had Keen Targhees for several years. The new fused technology for the layers of the sole is definitely a step forward. The feel of the shoe is definitely an improvement. Great job!"

"Didn't think they needed breaking in until they "broke in," which unlocked their magic formula of pliability, support and comfort. The soles are super grippy, and the footbed/midsole/sole whatever gives me great trail feedback and protection - not overly cushy like some trail runners - they just feel right. Waterproof without getting hot and sweaty. A tad clunky but that's to be expected for this level of support. Great spacious toe box Like a Land Rover for your feet!"
