Keen Targhee IV Mid WP

The Verdict.

8.2/ 10

Gavler Meta-Score

The wide-toe day hiker. KEEN.DRY, not Gore-Tex. Room to splay, not a backpacking shank. /dp/B0CNHWGXYS is the public IV listing.

Precision Engineering

Traditional Wide Last

Toes splay. Heel can feel roomy if you are narrow. Regular and wide SKUs on top of an already generous toe box.

KEEN.DRY House Membrane

Not Gore-Tex. Fine for wet trail and splash. Not the liner we trust for a week of rain.

Fused Upper

Fewer seams to delaminate. The durability argument. Does not make it a stiff backpacking boot.
