The Targhee stays on wide-foot lists because the toe box is actually wide, not because the boot is a longer size. Sizing up lets the heel slip. Try the labeled wide if the standard still kisses your metatarsals, and fit the wider foot late in the day. The mid height helps if your ankles roll under a pack. It is heavier than a trail shoe such as the Speedgoat, and the waterproof membrane runs warmer than a shoe that drains. That is the trade for a dry hike through puddles. If your ankles are fine and only the toes hurt, a wide trail shoe may be the better buy. If you want another boot to compare in the shop, the Merrell Moab 3 Mid Wide is the easier labeled wide, and the Lowa Renegade wide is the more structured one. Break this boot in before an overnight.
Who should buy it. Hikers who blow out the sides of standard D-width boots.
Best for. Wide forefeet that still want a boot heel
Standout limitation. The membrane can feel warm
