Hiking Boots/Shoes

[ZoneOne]

Took a pair of Keen Targhees through ISTC SERE and my feet loved them.

We had some good movements that destroyed many Soldiers feet.

I've liked Keens since the day I tried them on due to their rounded toe that fits more natural IMO.

Just a recommendation to hopefully save you some $

They sure are...things are a little more leaniant with 2nd ID.

They are the only boots I wear to ride my Harley, with the exception of my Army Desert Boots.

I'm on pair #2 of 7 pairs. finally retired the test pair in 2005 after 2 re-soles.

I'm searching for more of them, so I don't run out of them in my lifetime.

Still got mine brother I summited Pikes Peak twice this month in them and have never had ankle or foot issues going up or down. Tried Merrill light hikers great for going up etc..but are barely lighter than the Raichleis Stras mentioned but have next to no ankle support compared (sprained my ankles running down). Didn't realize how great they were until a mountain team got a new set of another brand that were 3x as heavy. Best boots I ever had for mountaineering I have had this pair for 7 years now.
