Our take on the KEEN Targhee EXP Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot

The Targhee EXP Mid is KEEN's mid-cut waterproof hiking boot, built on the long-running Targhee platform with a KEEN.DRY membrane, a leather-and-mesh upper and a rubber lugged outsole. It stands out for an external stability shank, a roomy toe box and an Ortholite footbed with cork and EVA, and it comes in narrow, regular and wide fits. Reviewers treat it as a comfortable, supportive day hiker for moderate trails; against lighter rivals it is heavier and warmer, and against Gore-Tex boots its own membrane is less breathable.

Questions and answers

Is the Targhee EXP Mid fully waterproof?
Yes. It uses KEEN's own KEEN.DRY waterproof membrane rather than Gore-Tex, and owners report dry feet in rain and wet trails.

Is it good for wide feet?
Yes. The wide option and the roomy toe box are two of the most praised things about it.
Can I use it for backpacking?
It handles light to moderate packs well thanks to the stability shank, but it is not stiff enough for heavy loads or technical terrain.

The EXP Mid adds a mid-cut ankle and a more modern leather-and-mesh upper over the classic Targhee, with the same waterproofing and comfort focus.
