[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these shoes and the brand. They’re super cute (for hiking shoes at least) and I really like the color, as I feel like pink is hard to find in hiking shoes. They offer great support and are sturdy. I usually wear ankle-support hiking boots with wool socks to protect my ankles from chafing. I did wear them once on a hike with water and they offered strong water protection and kept my feet dry (just don’t submerge them completely obviously). My only issue with them is that they do run a little large. Even with thick wool socks on, it feels like I’m wearing a size 8 (they are size 7.5). I didn’t know much about this brand before, even though I’ve purchased from them previously, and love them even more now- part of the doors are made with recycled water bottles in the inside of the shoes list some of the positive environmental impacts the brand has made. I would definitely recommend, just know that they do seem to run a little big. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really am enjoying these Keen women's Targhee IV Mid wp hiking boots! These are very comfortable and fit true to size needed. I love the fact that they are waterproof and very durable boots. It is hard to find a comfortable hiking boot but I think keen has figured it out. Thanks influenster for letting me try and review.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are very durable but comfortable too. I haven’t had a chance to go hiking in them but I have been wearing them since it’s been cold and they’ve been great. I will say they’re true to size I am a size 6 but I got a 6 1/2 because I was scared they’d be tight but they are just a tad bit big. Other than that they’re great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start off by saying that I always struggle to find shoes and boots that I can comfortably wear. I can never find any that fit properly and many times I find myself cramming my feet into shoes that are always too tight. Now I must confess... I don't exactly have small feet... or medium feet... or normal feet! I guess you could say my feet are a bit on the larger size and on top of that I swear my feet just keep getting wider and wider. So, when picking out new shoes, I usually either have to settle for the select few (hideous) styles that are made for wide feet or I have to buy shoes that are at least one size to big (literally clown shoes.) I was so pleased to find that these boots were not only available in larger sizes, but they come in wide sizes as well. They are comfortable (once you break them in) and I was amazed at how roomy they truly are. They are definitely lightweight, however they also seem very rugged. Overall I think they are going to be great hiking boots that are going to last me many years to come.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these Keen boots! I’ve worn them on mostly short hikes (less than 3 miles) so far, but they feel great. I’ve splashed around but not fully submerged them and the water rolled away. They have good grip on the bottom and good ankle support.
I bought a pair of the Hikerkind style of the Targhee IV and the web page said they ran large so I ordered a 9. 5 instead of a 10 and when I got them, they were slightly too small and I should have gotten the 10, as I have with other Keen’s, so they’re true to size. They came with 2 sets of laces and I wanted to put the darker pair on, as I was removing the lighter pair, the cheap, plastic tips of the laces flew off, making the lighter laces unusable again. This is a problem! I only tried the boots on and walked in them briefly but they seemed very comfortable and well made otherwise, definitely didn’t wear them long enough to know for sure.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are very comfy, easy to break in, and perfect for different types of terrain. As a beginner hiker, it took no time at all to break these in and I was able to hike through muddy conditions without any issues.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re looking for an incredible pair of hiking boots that combine style, quality, and comfort, definitely check out the women’s Targhee from Keen. They’re extremely durable and will last for many years.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love these boots !! I love the comfort and ability to tighten and loosen around the ankle. They have great arch and ankle support. The look of the boots is another big win for me . They
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great quality boot. It’s exactly what I need to walk in the woods and feel protected and steady on my feet. Especially when walking my dog who loves to explore. Walking and hiking in the woods can be pretty messy and muddy but these boots handle it well being resistant to mess and moisture. I really love the treading on the bottoms and my toes really do feel comfortable and well-placed in the boots. Not squished or tight. Which was always a deterrent in the past to me wearing hiking boots. My ankles tend to be sensitive to rubbing but the boot height was placed well and cushioned where I didn’t have any issues. Felt secured and snug. Great quality boot. Definitely inspires me to keep moving - in nature!
