- What is different about the Targhee IV versus earlier Targhees?
- The IV uses a glue-free fused construction that KEEN guarantees won't delaminate, plus a midsole designed to resist compression. The overall fit and roomy toe box carry over from earlier Targhees.
- Is this shoe good for wet weather?
- No. This is the vented version, so the mesh upper breathes well but lets water in. For wet or cold trails, look at the waterproof Targhee IV instead.
- How does it fit compared with other hiking shoes?
- It runs roomy, especially in the toe box, which suits wide feet. Some owners say it runs large, so consider going down half a size if you are between sizes.
- Does it need breaking in?
- Most owners report it is comfortable on the first hike. A few mention a stiff feel initially that eases after a few outings.
- Is it suitable for backpacking?
- It works for light backpacking and day hikes. The cushioning and protection suit moderate loads, but the bulk and weight make it less ideal for fast, long-distance trips.
- What kind of trails is it best for?
- Dry, warm trails with mixed terrain. The grip and toe bumper handle rocky paths, while the venting keeps feet cooler in heat.
