Overview
A waterproof KEEN.DRY membrane and an external support shank give the KEEN Targhee Exp its trail manners. Lugged rubber bites into mud and rock, and a heel capture system holds the foot steady.
Dry feet and stable footing on mixed terrain make it a dependable day hiker. Spec data conflicts on height, with the specs saying low top while the description mentions a mid-cut.
Who it's for
Rainy-season hikes and creek crossings suit a sealed membrane with lugged rubber. Fast hikers chasing low weight should look at a trail runner instead.
Pros and cons
- Waterproof breathable membrane
- Deep lugs for mud and rock
- Roomy toe box
- Removable arch-support footbed
- Height listed two ways
- Heavier than trail runners
- Wide fit may suit narrow feet poorly
Performance notes
Grip comes from the multi-directional lugs, which shed mud and catch on rock edges. The external shank stiffens the midfoot so the shoe resists twisting on uneven ground.
