Keen Targhee Apex Hiking Shoe - Men's

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.

Right out of box they were completely comfortable and had the stability i wanted Love the fit and wide toe box. I wear my KEENS for walking, hiking and most of all golfing. The fit was just as expected based on the KEENS I already own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first pair of Keen and not disappointed. My size 9 fit perfectly and the roomy toe box is part of the reason I purchased them. Nice looking and waterproof were also important to me so they met and exceeded my expectations.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve owned over 25 different Keen boots or shoes for as long as I can remember but this one style finally hit a brick wall. Contrary to the sizing guide, it doesn’t fit even if the laces are totally loose and it’s totally uncomfortable

I bought these waterproof hikers to keep my feet warm and dry. They are comfortable and good looking. The problem is that I find the soles to be hazardously slippery on wet surfaces. I live in rainy Oregon and have slid on wet sidewalks, fallen off the wet step of my truck, and have serious concerns for Half Dome hikers trapped by rain storms.
