This month has been host to discounts on some of the most popular hiking boots from Hoka, Merrell, and Salomon during REI's huge sale on camping gear, but one of the most impressive deals can be found right on Amazon—a notoriously rugged boot from Keen that's up to $81 off.

The ultra-popular Keen Targhee III hiking boots are on sale right now for as low as $84 on Amazon—a discount of up to 49% off the normal $165 price. These boots are a top 10 bestselling style on Amazon and have earned over 4,900 five-star ratings from shoppers who say they're "comfortable right out of the box." They're available in 12 colors and come in sizes 7 to 17 Wide, and while the final price depends on the combination of color and size you pick, most are still right around 40% off.

These all-terrain hiking boots feature a durable leather upper with mesh paneling to promote breathability and they're also completely waterproof thanks to Keen's proprietary membrane that allows heat and moisture to escape without letting water in. They offer plenty of support, between the over-the-ankle design, the ergonomically-shaped heel, and the stable shank plate. What stands out most is Keen's dense rubber outsole with 4mm multi-directional lugs. It's as hard-wearing as it is protective and even curls up to the toe to provide extra coverage.

Keen's hiking boots have earned a reputation for quality over the years, and the Targhee III is part of the reason why. "Keen makes the best boots," a shopper said. "I've used their safety boots at work and now use their hiking boots exclusively. They are insanely tough, durable, and fit great. I took a pair to Everest Base Camp and totally fell in love with them and use them daily hiking in the west. They have a nice wide toe box and hug your instep well to lock your heel in and prevent your toes from crushing while hiking…I've never had any foot problems with Keen boots."

Others simply love them because of the amount of support they offer. "This product provides the perfect amount of stability, ankle support, and solid non-slip traction," a shopper noted. Another shopper agreed, saying, "The Keen Targhee III Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot has redefined my hiking experience, providing unparalleled comfort, support, and performance on the trails."

If you're looking to hit the trail this summer and demand comfort from your boots, Keen's Targhee III is the one for the job. Make sure to get yours quickly, though, because once these boots sell out, they'll be gone for good as the brand continues making new models.
