- What does wide fit mean on these boots?
- The boot is built on a wide last, giving more room across the forefoot and midfoot than the standard width. Hikers who normally size up to get width can often stay at their true size.
- Are these boots fully waterproof?
- Yes. The design is waterproof, so it handles wet trails, puddles and light rain. Waterproof linings breathe less than unlined boots, so expect a warmer foot in hot weather.
- What is fused construction?
- The upper is bonded to the sole without glue, using a heat-fused process. It removes the adhesive layer found in conventional cemented boots, though it makes resoling harder.
- How does the Targhee IV compare with earlier Targhee models?
- The IV keeps the Targhee's roomy fit and waterproof build but moves to the glue-free fused construction. That is the main change over earlier cemented versions.
- What are these boots best for?
- Day hikes, trail walking and wet-weather outings where support and a roomy fit matter. They are heavier than trail runners, so they suit hikers who want a sturdy boot over speed.
- Should I size up or stay at my usual size?
- Stay at your usual size if you normally wear wide footwear. The extra width is built into the boot, so sizing up adds length you may not need.
