I can't say enough for Keen hiking boots. I've had a pair of the Targhee II's for about 4 years now and I'm just now getting to the point of "yeah I should probably replace them". They are still waterproof and as comfortable as heck. You can snag a pair for $119 on Amazon.
On a side note, we were hiking the trail just past Laurel Falls in Great Smoky Mountain NP and were overtaken by an older gentleman with just himself and a singular trekking pole. He asked us how far we were going (We are quite the site with myself, my wife and 4 kids all in a row) and we told him we were going to see the trees (there are a bunch of old growth forests up on the mountain) and he told us it was beautiful up there and that he loves this trail. He then explains that he is a local and he hikes from the visitors center, where his wife drops him off before her job, over the mountain to Wears Valley where his truck is. Some 7 miles every Sunday and it takes him about 2 hours. He was BOOK'N it! He then reaches down and picks a leaf off the ground and starts eating it... then hands it to us to try. Says it's called Tea Berry and sure enough, it tasted like sweet berry gum. Supposedly there is an old gum brand called Tea Berry that uses the same leaf.
All that to say that I look down and he has Keens on... I mean if they are good enough for the self-described hillbilly they are good enough for me!
