Keen Men’s Targhee Apex Waterproof Hiking Boot in Black/Golden Cypress is a fast-and-light over‑the‑ankle hiker with KEEN.DRY waterproofing, KEEN.ReGENX foam cushioning, and a KEEN.ALL‑TERRAIN rubber outsole for rugged trails.

Trail performance

• Waterproof protection: KEEN.DRY waterproof/breathable membrane and PFAS‑free DWR keep water out while allowing moisture vapor to escape, helping feet stay dry without overheating.

• Traction and stability: KEEN.ALL‑TERRAIN rubber outsoles with multidirectional lugs provide high‑traction grip on wet and dry surfaces, while a stability shank adds lightweight support and torsional control.

• Fast & light feel: Lighter, high‑rebound KEEN.ReGENX foam midsole delivers a responsive ride, blending the agility of a trail runner with the support of a traditional hiking boot.

Comfort and fit

• Original Fit toe box: KEEN Original Fit offers generous space in the forefoot so toes can splay naturally, increasing comfort on long hikes.

• Cushioning and support: Removable resilient foam insoles, contoured arches, and compression‑resistant KEEN.ReGENX foam help absorb impact while maintaining support under load.

• Out-of-the-box comfort: Reviews and evaluations praise the boot’s immediate comfort, with good balance between softness and lateral stability.
