I purchased the Keen Women's Targhee II Waterproof Trail shoe, because I started hiking again and needed something better than a regular cross-trainer or athletic shoe. I like trail hiking and for this the shoe was an excellent choice! It's sturdy, waterproof, not too clumsy looking, has support in all the right places, and is not very heavy on the foot. I also like it's look. I've used it a number of times already and I could not be happier with my purchase and would recommend this shoe to any avid hiker.
