Women's Keen Targhee II

After some bad experiences with other woman's boots which claimed to be waterproof. . I think some companies think women don't actually go outdoors .. I tried these boots. They work. They feel loose when you try them on so the boot lore of yesteryear of having a perfect fit doesn't apply here as they are so comfortable there was no break in period, although I thought they were too loose in the heel and would cause blisters . . not so, once I got used to the fit they became my main shoe. With a pair of gaiters these boots stand up to search and rescue work, snow and mountain biking in wet vegetation, tracking off trail and spending a whole day in a boat with sloshing water in the bottom . . and now I know how long they last as my pair failed this week and are no longer waterproof after one and one half years of hard wear. I will buy another pair very soon, of the same boot. The boots I have are still good for everything but wet and I will use them up on dry days.
