KEEN  Targhee IV Oxford Shoes - Men's

Was looking for an all-in-one shoe for my trip to Paris. Paris is an excellent hiking/walking town, and we put in a lot of miles. So I needed a show that was a comfy hiker, good tread, leather/water proof (reasonably, with some added Mink Oil) AND did not so much look like I was back packing … good for restaurants, etc. This shoe is perfect! It’s early days still, but I’ve hit the ground running (walking) with these guys and no discomfort, snug yet not constrictive, supple yet sturdy & supportive, breathes, good wide toe box and looks very cool. Higgghhhly recommended for urban hiking. Probably good in the hills too.

Loved my Targhee 3 and was able to wear nearly every day to the office and the field for several years. I was excited about the new Oxford style but found the footpad had random bumps in one but not the other. Clearly a manufacturing error. Took them back to REI and ordered a second pair. Same issue of random bumps in toe area this time smaller but still noticeable in one shoe and not the other. Apparently Keen can't get quality control right. Will be discharging anyone from getting these and very conscious about shoe mold quality if I ever get a keen again.

This new version have a very strong mid sole feel to them, for some I would guess the mid sole feel might seem to constrain or feel constaining to your feet especially if you are use to loose shoes .But it is the strength of the design which gives support to your instep arch area. I would say it does add to the strength of the shoe. The out sole is very grippy and also after ten miles of walking in them the sole is retaining it tread well. I would recommend these to anyone who need and require foot support. Thank again for a very good product

These very well may be the best shoes I have ever owned. They fit comfortably and broke in quick. They clean up nicely after getting them dirty. They aren't out of place teaching in the classroom, hiking in the desert, or going to church or just wearing them around the house. I've worn them just about every day for the last 4 months and after a clean up, they look better than they did coming new out of the box. One thing I appreciate as a bigger guy(who is losing weight now) is that they hold up really really well. I wish I would have bought these years ago.

Waited awhile before writing a review. These are very comfortable. As this is my first-ever pair of Keen shoes- I don’t have any comparison from former models. However they are built with durable materials. Oh- and they are very comfortable!

I have owned and loved at least 4 pairs Targhee III hiking boots and shoes, but the Targhee IV's just don't fit the same. The insole is unbearably unsupportive for my high arches. I am on my feet all day and was coming home with sore, aching feet every evening. I tried replacing the insole, but now there is too much pressure across the top of my foot no matter how I adjust the laces. Will be returning.

I like the style. I like the price. I like the fit. But the sole is mush. Zero support. Make my feet hurt at the end of the day. Wasted money.

After more than a decade of wearing KEEN, I’m losing my enthusiasm. I wore pair after pair of KEEN Austins, until some manufacturing change resulted in multiple instances of delamination of the outsoles. The last pair I bought turned out badly oversized. Tried switching back to Targhees, but the same change in sizing affected them as well. So now I keep re-gluing my old Austins and have moved on to Altra. Many other Austin fans have had the same experience. Gonna miss you, KEEN.

A bit clunky but great fitting shoe for hiking and walking. Big toe box. Runs large - I normally wear a 12.5-13, 12 fits well with thick socks.

I have feet that are wide at the heel, very wide at the ball, and with high insteps. It was difficult for me to find off-the-shelf shoes that were comfortable until Keen came out with their wide sizes. I own 4 styles now. They were all pretty good straight out of the box, and after a few miles of wearing-in, they are all very comfortable. Three of those styles run a half-size small, and one of them (Men's Newport Leather Sandal Wide) runs at least a full size small.
