Review on Waterproof Mid-Height Hiking Boot For Women - KEEN Targhee 2 by Casey Yuh

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It is my first hiking boots and it is 5*

Excellent quality for reasonable price. I visited a lot of different locations with quite different enviroment conditions in those boots and felt comfortable everywhere. Just after buying I wore them for simple home-work-home walk. I just wore them and went to the office, without any those inconviniences with new shoes. In the office, these boots were comfortable enough and not hot. The next was 18km hike through forest and park, where we even found some snow (photo 1). Boots were even more comfortable, not hot, not cold, breathable and stable on slippery wet path. The next test was a long jorney from Kiyv, Ukraine to San Miguel island, Azore in December. I feel dry, not hot and comfortable in airplanes with this boots.And real test started on San Miguel))) Very high humidity, rains, a lot of puddles, dew on the grass, beaches with slippery and sharp volcanic stones and sand, durty roads, prickly plants like blackberries, mountain woods with slippery roots and fallen branches. All those thing were not the problem for me with Keen's boots. They proved their waterproofness and high stability, they somehow didn't turn into rags after I walked to Lagoa do Fogoa through bushes. The last two photos is how the boots looks now, after all the adventures.Minuses: wet laces very often untied, had to tuck them in. Very unpleasant. The tread on the sole rubbed slightly.

Pros
  • The reinforced toe protects your feet from debris
Cons
  • The boot may not be suitable for customers with bunions
