Hi Gear Freaks,
I recently bought these boots to take backpacking in the canyons of Utah. I wore the boots around for 3 days prior to going and felt the tongue was uncomfortable at first but no other problems arose. I have wide feet and high arches and love all my other Keen shoes. As a gal with large feet I often buy men's shoes.
After hiking seven miles on the first day over rocky and sandy terrain my arches were very painful. It just got worse from there. I don't know if it's the boots or the backpacking. Has anyone had a similar experience or suggestions to improve this problem. Otherwise I love the boots.

I've found my arches get a little sore after wearing my keen targhees, but I've added felt padding for arch support under the footbed and they're fine now. Sounds like you need better arch support. I also found the tongue on these to be a little uncomfortable, but ended up returning mine because of it.
