Product Information

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Keen Targhee III Waterproof Mid Hiking Boots ( men’s and women’s): We found these boots to be too narrow in the toe box and unlikely to accommodate most foot shapes. For this review, we spent 250+ hours on the trail, evaluating the performance of each boot in the most demanding conditions. To have a wider selection of colourways to pick from and to go easier on your wallet, we would highly recommend checking out The North Face Vectiv Exploris Futurelight Women as well - its beta blue retro dye variant is a particular favourite of ours.

These boots strike a happy medium between the ultra-stiff Salomon Quest and less burly models like the Salomon Outpulse. Though they’re best suited for longer treks with heavier packs, they are comfortable to wear on hikes of any length. While these waterproof membranes can limit breathability, we found that all of the liners were adequate in keeping water out — our feet remained mostly wicked and dry, depending on the time of year and the thickness of the sock that we chose for that day's adventure. The Salewa Alpenrose 2 Mid has an intricate and aggressive tread pattern that provides traction in wet, muddy conditions as well as rock slabs.For rugged trails where the ankle is prone to roll, boots with relatively high ankle heights are optimal, along with effective lacing systems. Even when we double-knotted the laces, they came untied or loosened as we walked; we ended up replacing them with another pair of laces we had at home.

And if the first few pairs you try on don’t feel secure and supportive on your feet, we urge you to try more.Read more about the condition New with box: A brand-new, unused, unworn and undamaged item in its original packaging (such as the original box or bag) and/or with the original tags attached.
