KEEN Targhee III Mid Leather Wp-m Hiking Boot

During my typical work-day, I do a lot of hiking on multiple types of surfaces doing reforestation habitat restoration, these surfaces include going from pavement to gravel to trails to open meadows.
Initially I was concerned because the upper was quite high and stiff - esp with forward flexion in the boot. It gave me blisters and sore spots on the anterior lateral lower legs.
They are hot in the summer and are not terribly breathable, but are definitely durable.
Very pleased. Fit is great and very comfortable. I wear them everyday for work and on the weekends for hiking.
I was delivered a pair of shoes that had one left shoe of the proper size and one right shoe a size too small. NOT COOL!!

KEEN Targhee II Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot

I think these look great. I love the Copper color and the materials look great.
The shoes are built tough. Uppers look really good after 18 months.
The fabric, leather, and "other" materials are all well-conceived and well-used. I am hard on boots and prefer few metal and plastic parts that can bend or break.
The black rubber sole started to separate from the bottom of both shoes after about six months and by ten months, it was hanging and flapping.
First off, I get that their hiking boots and that it's a leather material so anything that touches it is going to scar it up. Unfortunately, the pair I got looks like someone got it, wore it for a bit, and then returned it. It's as simple as that.

KEEN Targhee II Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot

They are a heavier boot than anticipated but in general were still comfortable for daily use.
These are my second pair of Keens Targhee... I love them and they feel so very comfortable.
I’ve been wearing Keen boots for many years. They are exceptionally comfortable and are the only boots I’ve found with a wide enough toe box to accommodate my broken toe.
They are very comfortable, support and grip well. It would be great if they made them last longer.
This is the 3rd or 4th pair of Keens I have bought my husband. He raves about their comfort, and he wears them all day at work 10 plus hours a day on his feet! Unfortunately, the last 2 pairs we have purchased have fallen apart within 30 days!
