I am a field biologist and use these shoes in wet, rugged, and brushy terrain almost daily. After a little over a month of wear, the left side of the shoe has started peeling off and the stitching is coming apart. Thankfully, Keen's manufacture warranty applied to these defects and I was given a full refund and allowed to keep the shoes. What I didn't explain in the defect application is that the left shoe is very uncomfortable. It's hard to explain but it feels like the arch support was installed on the left side of the left shoe so it's constantly pushing up against my foot. One last thing is that I have worn them in the rain and wet grass a few times and each time my feet are completely soaked. I am disappointed because I love the way the shoes look and wish to continue wearing them.

This was my first time purchasing high-tops of any type of shoe. The high-top rubbed the skin off of my leg and one of my feet went numb. This design was not for me. However, I returned them for a different type the Targhee EXP which is a low-top and they are the most comfortable shoe I have ever had. They did not require any breaking-in period at all. Went on a 5+ miles hike on an undeveloped trail that had a 1,000 foot incline through mud, wet grass, and tree roots. I could not have done it without these hiking shoes. I will leave another review for them when I receive a request. Happy Hiker!

Wow! These boots felt instantly comfortable and supportive. They made me want to jump for joy! Instead, I went for a walk-about to slowly ease in the newness and stiffness. I love these boots and am thrilled they fit well. I feel inspired to get out and hike!

I bought a pair of these boots for a walking tour. Never even had to break them in. Bought them, wore them on average 7-10 miles a day and never got a blister. Even better? I paid cash, didn't keep the receipt and it turned out there was a manufacturing problem with the boots. I contacted Keen and even though I didn't have the receipt, they no hassle replaced them. The second pair feel as great as the first.

I did not realize that the tops of these are made differently than the targhee ll which I was replacing. So when I tried to wear them they caused allot of pain on my ankle and front of my leg. I Returned them and got the targhee ll instead and had no problems. I love keens and will continue to buy them.

These were too narrow even when I went up a half size. They hurt my feet in the store. These should be tried on with your preferred hiking socks.

I purchased this shoe about six years ago and have only worn them a few days a year while on vacation. It offers great support on uneven terrain however it tend to open at the seems.

I bought these to replace a pair of Targhee Expeditions which are showing wear, and I wanted more leather on the outside of the boot for water and mud mitigation. The fit is not the same, the Expeditions are so much more comfortable, but I have a walking tour coming up and I don't have time to keep changing out my boots to get something broken in in time for my trip. I will wear these to train - save the wear on the Expeditions, but I'm taking the Expeditions on my trip, and hope the waterproofing proves reliable.

The boots fit great, I had to get a half size bigger. The one thing that I didn't like is the insole. It's pretty thin. I'm going to buy new insoles and then they should be perfect.

I love these shoes, but I needed them in a half size bigger. I wear a size 11 in women's and that's as big as they go. They seemed like they were going to be comfortable, but too small. I'm very disappointed. If I go to a men's size they are way too wide.
