Men's Keen Targhee IV Waterproof Hiking Shoes

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: How do these Keen hiking shoes fit, and should I size up?

  A: We suggest going up a half size from your usual shoe size, or choosing the Keen size you normally wear. They are offered in a medium D width. If you are between sizes, sizing up is usually the safer bet for hiking socks.

• Q: What are these hiking shoes best for?

  A: They are made for hiking, including day hikes and multiday trips, and they also work well for everyday walking. The low-cut design gives you a lighter feel while still offering built-in stability features. They are a great choice when you want a supportive hiker without a higher boot.

• Q: Are these shoes actually waterproof for wet trails?

  A: Yes, these are waterproof hiking shoes designed for wet conditions on the trail. They pair a premium nubuck leather upper with a moisture-wicking fabric lining for comfort inside the shoe. Like any low-cut shoe, water can still enter over the top if you step into puddles deeper than the collar.

• Q: Do they have enough cushioning and support for long days?

  A: Yes, they are built with long-wearing cushioning and supportive structure for all-day comfort. The Luftcell polyurethane midsole is air-injected for underfoot cushioning, and the Luftcell insole is removable. A stability shank and heel-capture system add support and help keep your stride feeling steady.

• Q: What kind of traction do the soles provide?

  A: They have a durable TPU outsole with multi-directional lugs to help you get traction on varied terrain. The outsole is non-marking, which is a nice bonus when you head indoors after a hike. As with any hiking shoe, take extra care on slick rock, wet roots, or loose gravel.

• Q: Do they help control odor on back-to-back wears?

  A: Yes, they use Eco Anti-Odor to help manage odor naturally. For best results, remove the insole after your hike and let the shoes air out between wears. This simple routine can make a big difference on multi-day trips.
