Keen Targhee
Keen Targhee - easy walking women's £84.99
The Targhee is '4WD for your feet' with aggressive lugs to bite into the terrain, providing excellent traction. It has a very secure-fit lace system with sturdy webbing that wraps around the heel to help lock feet in and increase support. The cushioning and comfort are well-designed and the attention to detail is excellent, although they are on the expensive side. It's a cheeky-looking shoe with a very rounded toe box offering sturdy protection against smacking your toes on stones. These are the heaviest shoes I tested although they still provide an extra spring in your step. Keen is a much soughtafter brand with excellent experience of creating great water and rafting shoes. These approach shoes will cope with the toughest of trails, at least up until ankle support is needed.
