How to Choose Hiking Boots and Shoes

The iconic KEEN hiking shoes—but lighter and bolder. These have rugged synthetic uppers and a more modern, streamlined look. Yet they still deliver that classic Targhee comfort and grip.

First off, the toe box is wide as expected but also quite high. Toes wiggle bit too much. Comfort out of the box is the same as my worn out Oboz. They are wider than expected and the eyelets could be spaced 1/4" more towards the outside. The result feels like my feet are swimming a bit. As these break in, the spacing between the eyelets might be less that 1/2" resulting in a less support feeling. I feel these are less of a lightweight hiker/trail jogger and more of a low top boot. The tongue is narrow and the top lacing is higher than usual resulting is rubbing in at the high ankle. It's difficult to find appealing look , but this style caught my eye and ultimately resulted in my purchase.
I love Target EXP shoe, comfortable and a great look.
