Keen Targhee IV Waterproof Hiking Boot - Men's

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these as a gift for my husband who struggles to find comfortable hiking shoes. He’s loved these from the moment he tried them on. After a few hikes he likes them even more! We are both sold on Keen shoes!

I've been using Keen boots as my daily shoe for ages, replacing then when the soles (pre-Targus IV) started coming off. No longer a problem - for a while I feared Keen would lose that rich source of repeat business. Now there's a different problem - the shoelace wear makes them untie often due to the surface fuzz wearing off. That has a fix - search YouTube videos for |Berluti knot hiker| and you'll find how to tie that on a Keen shoe. |berluti knot anger management| might bring you to better videos. The knot has never come undone until I want it undone to take the shoes off. I wish I learned it 50 years ago! I'm ordering a new pair today - the old ones are still in great shape, but I want to used them in bogs and other soggy places.

This is my second pair. The first pair lasted two years of everyday use on the construction site. These boots are way more comfortable than anything that Red Wing has produced. They’re the most comfortable boot right out of the box and your feet will thank you! I love these boots and will continue to buy them for the rest of my life.

The insoles aren’t great. The K20 insole should be standard. These boots are not waterproof. The dew soaked through this morning while birding for a couple of hours. Very annoying.

So far I really like these boots. The boots were easy to break in and I love the wide toe box. I added insoles for plantar fasciitis and they fit with no problem.

I work at a local ski area where I’m on my feet for many hours a day in snow, rain, and cold. These boots were warm and amazingly waterproof. I didn’t expect a lace-up boot to be perfectly waterproof, but they didn’t leak for the entire ski season. I recommend them over rubber boots like Bogs that made my get sweaty and cold.

This boot never quits, best boot by far, going into year 3 with heavy usage and they perform as new. A true all season waterproof hiker!

I have had several pairs of Keen hiking boots. The fit is always comfortable. The last pair I owned had sole separation. So when ordering new pair a few months ago I was glad to hear from Keen that the sole issue had been corrected. Today one of the top retainer clips broke off when tying the boot. This boot is effectively ruined. Looking at my precious pair, I can see that the boot string retainer clip has been cheapened and is no longer sewn in place. I should be provided with a new pair!!
