Questions and answers

Which is better for wide feet?

The Targhee IV Wide. It is sold in a wide EE fit, while the Pyrenees uses Keen's standard Original Fit. Some Targhee buyers still say the toe box runs narrow, so try before you buy.

Which is lighter?

The Targhee IV Wide, at 17.28 oz per shoe versus 21.69 oz for the Pyrenees. That is about 4.4 oz less per shoe, or nearly 9 oz per pair.

Is the Pyrenees worth the extra $10?

Only if you want full leather and deeper 4mm lugs for rough trails. For general hiking and comfort, the Targhee IV Wide is lighter, cheaper and rated higher.

Which lasts longer?

The Pyrenees' all-leather upper should resist abrasion better over years. The Targhee IV Wide uses leather with mesh panels, which can wear faster, though buyers report it holds up over multiple pairs.

Which is better for driving and work?

The Targhee IV Wide. Buyers praise it for driving and work use, and its lower weight and 12mm drop feel less clunky than the Pyrenees' 15mm drop.

Do both keep feet dry?

Yes. Both use a KEEN.DRY waterproof, breathable membrane, and both have non-marking rubber outsoles.
