As per the norm I couldn't be happier with my shoes. Several years ago I made the decision to buy KEEN exclusively and I haven't deviated from the decision. I DID however recieve a pair of hand me down Merrill's that hadn't been worn much. I was reminded why I only bought KEEN's. Not a fan of the fit and I had destroyed them in a few months. I guess I'm a little too active for substandard footwear. I've NEVER had a pair of KEEN's fall apart on me like that! Well...a pair of KEEN sandals. A little bit of the stitching came undone but I called KEEN and you guys provided me a voucher for the amount I paid for the sandals AND didn't expect me to return the sandals! The day I spoke to your customer service (an actual human being) regarding the sandals I knew I was a KEEN ... MoreAs per the norm I couldn't be happier with my shoes.

Just accommodating all the way around. Thank you guys for doing what so many companies won't do!

I walk seven miles a day and go through a pair of Targhees every 6-10months. I've been doing this for several years now and the Targhee improvements are genuine. The latest iteration, the IV is top notch! The new protections against delamination really show and the shoe feels very durable, sturdy.The challenge with Targhees is break-in. It usually takes 55 miles for Targhees to really feel comfy. In this period my foot will often slide on the insole but after this period the insole is conformed to my foot and steady.After about six months the sole wears down to the point I feel sharp rocks through the shoe but the waterproofing remains effective. After ten months the waterproofing falls off and I replace the shoes with a new pair.

Just took my first walk in these shoes. Based on that, I’m very impressed. They fit my feet perfectly, feel very comfortable, and supportive. Exactly what I’m looking for in a pair of walking shoes. I tend to break down running shoes very quickly, as I must walk heavily and run into things along the trail. Hiking shoes sometimes are too stiff and hard on my feet. These Targhee IVs seem to strike the perfect balance. One caution; they are heavy - for me it’s worth it to get the support and cushion I need.As I put more miles on these, I’ll update this review if my impressions begin to change.

For all my wide footed girlies who can't find a woman's shoe that will fit - look no further. I spent over an hour at REI trying on hiking shoes (not a fan of "boots", they always seem to rub my ankles) for my Scottish highlands adventure. I was in desperate need of waterproof gear, with no hope in sight. At last, the sales associate brought out these Keens. I'm not going to lie, I'm a girly girl and seeing this color combo I was like "absolutely not". But once I got over my snobbiness, and tried the shoes on, I was pleasantly surprised! They fit my inserts perfectly, and were wide enough for my hooves. I spent 2 weeks hiking through Scotland, and not once did I get a blister OR have water get in my shoes (and boy did it RAIN).
I bought these for my husband who never buys shoes online and was extremely skeptical of wearing Keens as an adult man, having only ever seen children wear them.Despite his skepticism, he is quite pleased with the shoes and has worn them non stop since they arrived several days ago. He likes the cushion in both the foot bed and around the ankles. He is especially impressed with the toe and how the rubber comes up and over the toe, protecting the front of the foot and preventing damage to the shoe when hiking on rough terrain. The tread is great and will assist with those same hiking trips.My husband has fairly narrow feet, so I was a bit nervous about whether the same brand that fit my kids with very wide feet (generally need New Balance wides) would also fit my ... MoreI bought these for my husband who never buys shoes online and was extremely skeptical of wearing Keens as an adult man, having only ever seen children wear them.Despite his skepticism, he is quite pleased with the shoes and has worn them non stop since they arrived several days ago.

Once he properly adjusted the laces, they fit great. I like that they don't scrunch his toes, too.My husband says "five stars are for perfection", hence the 4 stars. Not sure what could be improved, but apparently, while the shoes check all the boxes, they are *perfect*.
The Targhee IV seems to be a major improvement over prior versions of the shoe. I have experienced major problems with sole de-lamination and failures of the material on the front sides near the toes. The Targhee IV looks like it's using leather in that area now rather than some plastic-like material that started cracking on the first day of wear. The shoes are very breathable, especially for being a waterproof shoe. I have come to expect Keen shoes to be comfortable the first day and ready for hike and there was no disappointment there. Time will tell on the lamination and durability issues. But so far I am very encouraged to see a change towards a much higher quality product.
This is probably my 8th pair of Targhee and first Targhee IVs. It was recommended I go down a half size which seems to have been a good choice (11.5 to 11). The lases are somewhat shorter than previous generations, which is actually a good thing for me as I always found them too long. After wearing them a few times and breaking them in the laces seem to be just right.I typically wear out the middle of the sole before any other part of the shoe. I've got several pairs that are somewhat smooth on the bottom with the rest of the show looking fine.My only complaint is that when I'm walking on dry polished surfaces, like concrete or tile, they squeak. Not a big deal and if they last a few months longer than the previous generations I'll gladly squeak a little bit.
Thank you for making great shoes! I just returned from a 25 day intense birding trip to Australia and I took two pairs of shoes: A brand new pair of Targhee IV hiking shoes (my 4th pair of Targhees) and an older pair of Newport H2 Sandals. I went from the cold, wet and windy temperate region around Melbourne (it was early spring in the antipodes), to the mild weather of the sub tropics around Brisbane in the central, east coast to the sweltering hot and humid tropics north of Cairns.I loved the ruggedness and waterproof features of the Targhees when I was slogging through the mud and rain in the south chasing down new species (to me). Around Brisbane I wore the Targhees with shorts and low socks when rugged hiking was called for and the sandals when it was a stroll ... MoreThank you for making great shoes!

Around Brisbane I wore the Targhees with shorts and low socks when rugged hiking was called for and the sandals when it was a stroll or out on the town in the evening. In the tropics further north, I was thankful for the cooler option of sandals. It is tough for one shoe to do it all, but thankfully Keen makes such a wide range of footwear that I was able to do my trip comfortably with only two pairs. Thanks.
Expectations.What are my expectations when I purchase a pair of shoes from Keen or anyone else? How long can I realistically expect them to last? Do I measure usageby months and/or mileage and type of use (gentle, mild, moderate, heavy)?I bought a pair of Men's Targhee IV Wide Waterproof Hiking Shoes for $145. 80 on April 22, 2024. I wore them just about every day for approximately 208 days, 2 miles a day on paved country roads, walking my dog Willie Boy. Mild usage I would say.They have developed a loud squeak and there is no longer any support (it feels like something gave out. Is this possible?) making them annoying and uncomfortable to wear. There is no visible signs of damage. Plenty of tread left. Before this, the shoe was a five all around.So the shoes ... MoreExpectations.What are my expectations when I purchase a pair of shoes from Keen or anyone else?

I’m a solid size 11 Wide. Hard to find really good fitting “wide” shoes—always seem a little tight in the width direction. With that said, I’ve found these to be actually a good fit in both length and width. Simply because of that, I’m a repeat purchase of the near exact same shoe. (My previous shoe was the leather style type).The underlying reason why I went ahead and bought a second pair is that my first pair’s inside heel cloth material started to tear through after about 2 yrs of normal walking wear. Never had a shoe that did that.If I could, I’d get that repaired locally, or send them back, but don’t know if that is cost effective or worth my time pursuing. It certainly would be an area of the shoe’s design that would warrant review for reinforcement or ... MoreI’m a solid size 11 Wide.

So I went ahead and bought a second pair in anticipation of having to toss the first pair pretty soon.
