Now KEEN has taken everything fans love about the Targhee hiker and reimagined it with lighter materials and Consciously Created design choices. 

“Our fans want the trusted durability and comfort of the KEEN Targhee but are looking for a faster, lighter version that keeps up with their dynamic, on-the-go lifestyle,” says Shaun Bohnsack, VP of performance footwear at KEEN.“Whether they're hitting the trail for a quick after-work hike, exploring new terrain on the weekend, or transitioning between outdoor adventures and everyday wear, they want a shoe that feels agile and modern without sacrificing performance or reliability.”

Targhee Apextakes Targhee comfort into the fast and light hiking space, making it more athletic and versatile for everyday life outside.The midsole is made with ultralight, energy-regenerating foam that works in harmony with a lightweight stability shank for responsive rebound and improved underfoot comfort. To lighten up the outsole, KEEN strategically reduced rubber to minimize material waste and keep the shoe lightweight, while ensuring high-abrasion zones are reinforced for durability. This thoughtful design maintains traction and performance where it matters most, without compromising on long-lasting reliability. 

Targhee Apex features:

• Responsive ride: Lighter, high-rebound KEEN.ReGENX foam for a soft, cushioned feel with the support and stability needed for rugged trails. 
• Lightweight upper:Flexible, technical textile upper with durable overlays in high-abrasion zones.
• Trail stability:All-terrain rubber with KEEN.TERRAIN SHIELD that wraps around the midsole for protection and stability. 
• Technical tread: Multi-directional lug pattern provides superior traction with strategically removed rubber to make it lighter.
• Room-for-your-toes fit: Original Fit has generous space across the forefoot for toes to spread out. 
• Breathable waterproof protection: The KEEN.DRY membrane is like a waterproof bootie that lets vapor out without letting water in.

• Pesticide-free odor control: Eco Anti-Odor uses natural probiotics that are safe for the environment.
