KEEN Targhee II Mid Hiking Boots – Function and Fashion Combined in One Shoe
Targhee was a Bannock Indian chief, and nothing's tougher than an Indian chief. It's worth noting the many things rugged KEEN Targhee hiking boots and Indian chiefs have in common. Indian chiefs are not at all soft, city folk. America may have experienced a rash of urban cowboys, but I'll bet you've never seen any urban Indians.
These Indian chiefs didn't sit around in big puffy chairs, eating junk food and watching sports on television all day. Instead, they were out in the great outdoors, hunting and gathering, taming the elements and being afraid of absolutely nothing. They're survivors. Time has tested them, and they've won the battle. It's hard not to imagine Targhee as a rock solid individual, tougher than leather and as strong as an ox. And most importantly of all, in Indian culture, chiefs are the best of the best.
Similarly, Targhee mid hiking boots are the tough guys of the shoe world. It's been said that you don't know a man until you've walked a mile in his moccasins. But I'll bet even Chief Targhee would trade his moccasins for a good pair of KEEN Targhee IIs. He would likely tell you today - if he were still with us - that when the going gets tough, the tough ones put on the best possible boots for the job.
Loafers are all very well for cubicle life, but when you break free and head for rainy mountain terrain, you'll appreciate the KEEN.DRY membrane of a Targhee II. It creates a necessary waterproof seal to help keep your feet dry. There's nothing more uncomfortable than squelching back down the mountain with soaked socks and damp shoes.
Targhee mid hiking boots also come with a removable metatomical footbed, which nicely molds to the shape of your foot, giving it the sort of firm hold you need.
And although KEEN Targhee hiking boots are built tough, they still look great. Nobody ever said functional footwear couldn't be fashionable, right?
And speaking of a firm hold, the Targhee II's S3 heel support guards against shocks, provides superb suspension, and ensures high stability. It's engineered to keep impacts from being transmitted up through the Achilles tendon and into the calves, so you have less fatigue. It also reduces the odds of twisting an ankle, no matter how rough the ground you pound.
In case you haven't noticed, doctors don't make mountain house calls for twisted ankles, so it pays to ensure your ankles are supported securely when out there on your own.
Whether you want to do a little day hiking or just take a casual stroll through the park KEEN hiking shoes are made for walking. And because we know that there are big warriors and little ones, KEEN Targhee II boots are available to fit men, women and children.
