Keen Targhee II Mid Hiking Boot

By Dr. Ann Ranked #142 - Women's Hiking Boots August 29, 2010

I should preface this review by saying that I've always been a "boot" person. You know, a nice, sturdy boot that will protect my toes in case a block of talus lands on them. And, I love Keen sandals. So, the Targhee was an experiment. Just got back from a weekend trip (30 miles, 4000' of gain some off trail) and, after I got over the initial feeling that something was missing, I really enjoyed these litle boots. They performed just fine w/a 30 pound pack and clung to the rocks like limpets when I ventured off trail to scale a steep talus face. And, I really, really enjoyed the fact that they weigh about 10 ounces less than any other boot that I own. Plus, it got cold in the Sierra last night (below freezing and it snowed) and my feet stayed warm. In fact, they were about the only part of my body that did.
