I have several pairs of Keens that I have loved. This one, I thought would be an update on the previous Targhee, but definitely is not. Very uncomfortable, ended up using a lot of bandaids. The shoe is very stiff and rub in alot of areas. Will nt order on line again.
The newest iteration of an old customer favorite is here: Introducing the KEEN® Targhee IV Waterproof Shoe – a feat of foot-friendly engineering! Redesigned with enhanced durability and comfort, the Targhee IV boasts reinforced lacing tabs for a secure fit, plus a TPU outsole that’s twice as rugged as standard rubber soles. The Luftcell midsole absorbs shock with approximately 100,000 air bubbles per cubic centimeter as you pound through field or fen. And to top it all off, the uppers are made with waterproof leather and recycled poly mesh – complete with a waterproof membrane that lets feet breathe but keeps moisture out. What’s not to love?
Size
I have been buying Keen shoes for a long time, and size 9 always fits. This shoe was at least 1/2 longer than my other shoes by Keen, but they fit my husband and he loves them. Would be skeptical to buy Keens online again.
They were huge! I bought the same size as my Keen sandals that I love, but the heel area was so huge I couldn't tighten the laces enough to compensate. A smaller size was not available. It would sure be nice if Keen made half sizes also.
