KEEN Men's Circadia Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots

Product Information

Having worked for both the Ramblers and the Scouts, he knows one or two things about walking and camping, and loves all things adventure, particularly long-distance backpacking, wild camping and climbing mountains – especially in Wales. As an avid hiker, I’m always on the lookout for comfortable and reliable footwear that can withstand any terrain.

No matter which pair you go with, the contoured heel lock system lets you adjust the heel so you can find that perfect level of stability and control as you descend the steeps. Whether you’re planning the trip of a lifetime to Norway’s Loføten Islands or just hoping to get the whole family out into nature this weekend, our Targhee boot collection gives you the support, durability, and comfortable fit you’ll need. DRY waterproof-breathable design keeps your socks nice and dry so that you don’t even need to pack a backup pair. Whether you took your first hike yesterday or got your Appalachian Mountain Club membership back in ‘82, your feet deserve to be happy on the trail. The combination of the superior cushioning, secure fit, and breathability makes them an excellent choice for those long hikes that test your endurance.It's a good brand for the average day hiker and also a good brand for wide toe boxes and wide sizes. Regardless of if you’re hiking through the Grand Canyon or spending a late summer day exploring the Columbia River Gorge, a little extra ventilation can go a long way.

For hikers, the best options include the older Targhee II (slightly wider and sturdier), the Targhee III (slightly lighter with more leather), and Targhee Vent (more ventilating mesh for warmer climates). The boots’ advanced shock absorption capabilities ensure you stay comfortable, even on the roughest terrains. It's not only based in the United States, but one of the rare companies that actually manufactures (some of) its footwear in the USA (as well as in Asia and Mexico). Lightweight Cushioning: KEEN LuftCore technology embeds a lightweight foam core inside the midsole to absorb shock for comfort that lasts all day. That makes the Voyageur a decent value choice, especially for desert hikers and fair-weather hikers who avoid wet trails and rainy weather hikes.But for new and experienced hikers alike, Targhee boots encourage people to push their limits, explore like they never imagined, and in some cases create music on mountain tops. I hope my brand review helped you decide if KEEN might be a good fit for your feet, your budget, and your hikes.
