Review on Waterproof Mid-Height Hiking Boot For Women - KEEN Targhee 2 by Melvin Balamani

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Finally a boot I can wear

I was trying to find new hikers to wear as winter boots and suddenly it dawned on me that if my Keen sandals are so comfortable, why not try the hikers? I am glad I did. First off, there is plenty of room in the toes which I like as I have wide feet. They fit nice over the arch (I have a high instep and getting my feet into boots has often been a problem) and I needed something waterproof. I have not waded through slush yet but I am expecting them to hold up. The first day I wore them out was when we had snow that had frozen hard to ice, and the lug bottom gripped very nicely and I could walk normally, although cautiously of course. Since I do not wear the boots on a daily basis, the higher neck around my ankle would often rub sore, but I feel no indication of that at this time with the Keens. Two small things; One, my feet seem to sweat because of the waterproofing I am sure but it is a small price to pay for not getting soakers. And two, it seems no matter what lightweight boot I wear, I clop around in them, so that is not the boot's fault. I highly recommend these especially for the reasonable price.

Pros
  • The KEEN Targhee 2 is a must-have item for any serious hiker or outdoor enthusiast
Cons
  • The boot may not provide enough protection for hikers in snake-infested areas
