These shoes are great. Lightweight and sturdy. And I love REI, because I accidentally bought a pair that was too large, wore them a little bit before I figured out. They were too big, and the store let me bring them back. I bought another pair but the correct size. The staff was super accommodating.
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.
Excellent fit. I usually need an extra wide but these regular width shoes have nice toebed space for me. Good solid feel but lightweight at the same time. True to size. They feel like comfortable sneakers but with a stiffer sole for light hiking. Havent yet been out on the trail but looking forward to it.
[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.
These shoes look and feel great, but more than once I've been surprised how slippery they are on wet concrete. The aggressive tread will probably compensate on wet trails, but I'ld have serious doubts about them on the side of Half Dome in a sudden rain storm. Use caution unless you live in a desert.
I'm wearing my new hiking shoes to work. I am on my feet for 8 hours and the Targhee Apex Waterproof Hiking Shoes are perfect for the job. Great fit. No slippage on the heel. Plenty of toe space as usual for KEEN. Highly recommend!
[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
The shoes fit comfortably and are very light. They are flexible, so, it’s easy to get them worn in
Great Shoe. I like the looks, comfort, and durability, perfect for everyday active lifestyle.
Nice fit (I am a size 13, often shoes are too tight), roomy at the toes.
