Keen Targhee IV Waterproof Trail Shoe - Women's

This issue was absolute heaven! I forget I even have them on. It’s like walking in my house shoes great traction, gorgeous shoes. They appear to have good arch support. I am very pleased.

Target 4 is the ONLY hiking shoe that I can put on new and hike 14 miles 2,400 feet up! I just wish you would make it in bright orange or moss green, something with some punch instead of the same old drab colors. Keep up with the other companies with color!

i have been wearing keen Targhee I’ve waterproof hiking shoes for over 1o years. They take me on the fort to sea trail every day. Also to senior aerobics, senior yoga and Tai Chi. I find that my balance is better and my feet feel great. I just turned 78 today!

I like the shoes. But there is just something about them that is not 100% comfortable. The tongue area has some folds on the side that push on my foot. I have to pull the side of the tongue up several times while I'm wearing them. Maybe they just need "broken in" more. Other than that, they are ok.

I bought these a while back (version #3, not the latest iteration of Targhee 4). I considered buying again since I need new hikers but the negative reviews tell me I'd regret it, like I did before. . . These shoes are HEAVY, narrow, and with every step I felt my foot (at thr heel) coming out of the shoe. I tried different sizes, buying and returning the Targhee multiple times, but the heel slippage was not something I could abide. I see from other reviews these issues I had are still a thing. So I'll save myself the headache and not try these again. I really wish KEEN could get the low profile leather hiker dialed in. I have tried and liked some iterations of the Zionic shoe, but they are more like sneakers than hikers.

This shoe only gets 1 star because it’s aesthetically pretty and truly is waterproof at least. Otherwise I HATE this shoe so much. It gave me plantar fasciitis so bad. I wear them nonstop 8+ hours a day 40+ hours a week for my work (wildlife care specialist). And I have never had this kind of pain in my life. . My heels feel absolutely bruised after wearing these to the point every time I stand up at work or even at home to walk I am in severe pain. And have to walk the pain off. I can’t even get restful sleep because the pain persists in my feet. I am stuck with these shoes for awhile (bought in 3/2025) as I get a shoe allowance only once a year for work and all my extra money goes to my kids’ needs, food, and bills. So since I got stuck with these until next March, I bought some inserts to try and mitigate it a bit. NOPE. Maybe a smidge better. But I hope this review saves someone else the mistake from buying these. Not comfortable, no support, feels like you’re walking on solid ground.

I have pronate problems and wear supports. These fit in the shoes and the shoes themselves give enough support. I may try the higher/taller version as well, those may really do the trick.

Good for my duck shaped feet although I do need an insert in the heel to lift my ankle above the rim.
