Targhee EXP Waterproof Hiking Shoe

Okay, a little bit of a sad update to my original review. The shoelaces not staying tied was originally a small problem but sadly as I've worn them more theres alot of lateral slipping that (because the laces dont stay tied) I can't prevent. It's now causing significant pain around my instep making them pretty much unusable. Also, the insole has collapsed more than I would expect in the time I've had it. Dissapointed because I can't really reccomend them for longevity.

Beautiful color. and well made. These shoes seemed extra wide and short. Great looking hiking boot.

I went with my usual 8.5 rather than sizing down with these, but they definitely do run large--I think 1/2 size down would have been fine. However, I decided to return instead of exchange because the insole has on odd and very hard slope on either side, like a firm ridge. Just standing in them made me feel like my feet were rolling inwards and were up against a hard edge, so I think these would be ergonomically bad for hiking or every day use. Great look, less great structure than usual.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay, I'm a hard fit for shoes and I think I've found the holy grail in my targhees! Normally a solid 9 in all shoes (but 9. 5 in Nikes). The 9 fits just a tad snug when going downhill but the 9. 5 felt too loose and roomy. These are rugged enough for the trail, lightweight, waterproof and yet still comfy enough to wear all day. I'm in love. I've logged many miles in them in the first few months of having them and already considering another pair for when these wear out. Originally bought the Lilypad color.
