In a world where over 24 billion pairs of shoes are made annually, KEEN is paving the way with their latest innovation - the Targhee IV hiking boot. A Consciously Created Masterpiece The Targhee IV sets itself apart as KEEN's cleanest shoe yet, free from harmful forever chemicals known as PFAS. These chemicals, found in various products, pose serious health risks and environmental impacts. However, KEEN has been ahead of the curve, ensuring all their shoes, including the Targhee IV, are PFAS-free since 2018. Ensuring durability equals sustainability, KEEN has integrated features like the KEEN.RUGGED outsole, twice as abrasion resistant as typical rubber, and the KEEN.FUSION technology that reduces energy consumption during manufacturing. Superior Craftsmanship and Eco-Friendly Materials The Targhee IV boasts a range of features to suit every hiker's needs, from ankle support options to waterproof or vented designs. The leather uppers are ethically sourced and processed in environmentally certified tanneries, while even the laces are made from recycled plastic. The Luftcell midsole ensures comfort and support, while the grippy outsole with multi-directional lugs offers stability on any terrain. A Commitment to Sustainability KEEN's dedication to creating the world's cleanest shoe doesn't end with the Targhee IV. The company recognizes the importance of transparency and collaboration in achieving eco-friendly manufacturing. By sharing their journey towards sustainable practices, KEEN hopes to inspire others in the industry to follow suit. The Targhee IV is not just a hiking boot, but a symbol of KEEN's commitment to responsible and conscious footwear production. With each step forward, KEEN continues to lead the way towards a cleaner and greener future.
