Keen BootsIt wasn’t until days after a 45km trek to Machu Picchu that I realized I never got a single blister en route.

Thanks to Keen’s Targhee Hiking Boots. From moderate day hikes to multi-day challenging treks, this sturdy lightweight (just 1 lb 12 oz!) boot provides rock-solid traction and grip support on uneven, jagged terrain like the infamous stone steps of the Inca trail.

Excellent in damp conditions, its waterproof eVENT® liner evaporates internal moisture caused by perspiration while preventing outside moisture from soaking through the boot.

These super cute boots come in fancy color combinations like black olive/mineral blue, walnut, and deep lichen/rattan.

Remember to get one size larger than you’ll normally wear when buying hiking boots, and be sure to break them in a couple weeks before you set off on your treks.

Price: $119.95 – $120.00 | BUY

    I recently purchased the men's version of these and have been very happy so far. Normally, I'm a real hater of shoes, as I can't stand when my feet get sweaty. But that wasn't an issue with these guys. And they kept moisture out at the same time–even on my hike through a rainforest.

    Nice find, Lola.

    we sometimes forget how important good boots are. My walking companions on the Great North Walk bought new boots to do it. They took a little breaking in though !

    Good article. These boots are really awesome. The hiking boots are my favorite and they comfortable to wear. Such hiking boots are very lightweight and has a good support on walking.
