TARGHEE III MID WATERPROOF BOOTS

The Keen shoe brand, out of the USA, is all about creating functional, hard-working, well-made and comfortable outdoor footwear. And the good news is that Cape Union Mart is now stocking several of their products.

The Targhee III hiking boots are fully waterproof, thanks to the KEEN.DRY breathable membrane that keeps rain, puddles, and dew out, but still allows moisture from your skin to dissipate so your feet remain dry and comfortable. The uppers are made from ethically sourced leather and performance mesh, and the generously proportioned toe box provides space for your toes to spread out, a much healthier situation for your feet when you’re walking for hours on end. The rubber outsole boasts 4 mm multi-directional lugs, delivering extra grip when you need it, while the rubber toe cap wraps right over the front of the boot, giving added protection for your feet, and extra durability for the boot.

A stability shank is built into the sole, a muchdesired feature when carrying a heavy backpack, as it offers added support to your feet. Eco Anti-Odour technology keeps stinky smells at bay, something your fellow hikers will appreciate. The long-lasting polyurethane insole is designed with arch support in mind, and the footbed as a whole cradles the natural contours of your foot.

At around 480 g, these are excellent lightweight yet durable boots for wherever your adventures take you. RRP R2 499 capeunionmart.co.za
