KEEN Targhee III

With outstanding luxury, the KEEN Targhee series is a favorite for day hikes and offer immense convenience for backpacking treks. The KEEN Targhee III has always been on the marketplace ever since it was introduced in the autumn of 2017. But until today, it still provides excellent value. The boots are surprisingly durable, with a substantial toe cap and suede top, a relatively wide fit, and a neckline height that fits just above the ankle, providing adequate rollover protection.

Please remember that the KEEN Targhee III is a significant step down in terms of stability and ankle protection from other types of footwear like the Lowa Renegade. However, it still provides enough stability and traction for the majority of subalpine excursions.

The Targhee's primary competition is Merrell Moab 2, which has been a best-seller for years. While Targhee is more long-lasting due to its leather construction, the Moab is more comfortable on the trail, keeps you cooler due to its mesh structure, and charges $30 less.
