Keen Targhee Apex Hiking Shoe - Men's

I've worn these shoes in several airports and a few long walks & hikes in Minnesota. They are waterproof and nice looking, so I've worn then in morning grass and in board meetings--they seem well-made and are not clunky like the old school Keens I wore for many years. I normally buy New Balance wide shoes but thought I'd return to Keen for a try. These are good shoes for town but I'll go back to New Balance for activity, comfort, and width. Great to see Keen branching out into competition w/ the long distance footwear styles of Astral and others.

Just spent a week hiking in northern California (Redwood forests, rocky beaches, etc. ) and these shoes gave me zero issues. They're supportive without feeling overly stiff, and the laces have a unique texture which seems to help keep them from coming undone. It never did rain during my trip, so I never got to test how waterproof they actually are. Great work on this shoe overall, Keen!

Very comfortable. I personally like the wider toe area that Keen seems to offer in their shoes that give my toes a bit more room and on a long walk or hike it's appreciated. My third pair of Keen shoes and am a pleased hiker.

These are very comfortable with a slightly larger toe box than other brands, but still agile. I hiked for 4 hours in heavy dew the last two days and my feet stay dry. The laces are slightly ribbed and they stayed secure.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shoes are very lightweight and comfortable. I like the way they look. The shoelaces are the flat kind. I prefer the round ones though.

Water proofing went out in the shoe within 2 weeks of just walking in wet yards

I’m a woman who wears a men’s shoe because I need a D width (men’s medium)and finding a woman’s shoe in a D width is challenging. The Apex is a great addition to my standby shoe, the Keen Targhee hiking boot and shoe, which I have been wearing for years after my previous go-to running shoe started not fitting well. My feet have both been surgically reconstructed after tendon ruptures, and, I broke my ankle very badly four years ago, so finding shoes that fit is challenging. The Targhee low has been the only shoe I wear since my injury, and believe me, they have their place in my shoe arsenal. THIS shoe, however, takes the excellent design and fit of the original Targhee to another level. They are lighter and more flexible. The design is lovely. And, for the first time since I broke my ankle, I can walk without limping or needing a cane. Keen has really created a unique shoe for both everyday wear, walking, light hiking, maybe running. I like the addition of the heel lock double eyelet feature a lot. My only quibble is that the laces are extremely short and I had to replace them with a longer lace. I hope the next iteration of this shoe comes with longer laces.

I have had probably a dozen pairs of Keen shoes, all to which I have liked and enjoyed. The looks of this pair has the ones of the past beat and the comfort is that snake great Keen comfort.
