Womens Targhee IV Mid Waterproof Boot

Three months of rocky, wet trails and the fused construction still looks brand new — no peeling seams anywhere. The cushioning hasn't flattened out either, which is saying something given how much I've worn them.

Wore these on a muddy six-mile trail and my feet stayed completely dry through every puddle. The cushioning underfoot hasn't flattened out after a month of weekend hikes, which is more than I can say for my old pair.

The fused construction seems solid and the cushioning held up fine on a few rocky day hikes. That said, the mid cut rubs against my ankle on longer climbs, so I'm not sure I'd trust them for a full backpacking weekend.
