- Is the Targhee IV better than the Targhee III?
- The main change is the direct-attach sole, which KEEN says removes the glue layer that caused delamination on earlier Targhees. Fit and comfort carry over closely, so upgrade if sole separation was your problem.
- How does it fit compared with other hiking boots?
- It runs wide, with a roomy toe box and a 12mm drop. Hikers with narrow feet often size down or add a thicker sock; wide-footed hikers usually take their normal size.
- Is it truly waterproof?
- Yes, it has a waterproof membrane and a leather-and-mesh upper. Owners report dry feet in rain and shallow water, though water can still enter over the collar in deep crossings.
- Is it good for backpacking?
- It suits day hikes and light backpacking with a moderate load. The mid-cut collar and stiff sole give support, but the weight and warmth make it less ideal for fast, hot-weather trips.
- What is in the box?
- One pair of boots. Insoles are included; socks and care products are sold separately.
- Can I wear it in summer?
- It works, but the waterproof build is warm. For hot, dry trails a breathable non-waterproof hiker or trail runner will feel cooler.
