basics; owned both targhee 3 and 4 for 1.5 year, both used very often. general outdoors activities mainly off trail.
LEFT IN PIC 4- bad grip/traction on ANY surface, crossing/climbing trees , rock climbing, muddy hills and concrete. The TPU sole seems to lack traction and durability as it is developing cracks and small chunks breaking off. Seems to be 3 areas on the 4 that are ripping apart. was not waterproof as advertised.
RIGHT IN PIC Compared to the older Targhee 3 with rubber soles they give far superior traction when your hanging off a tree over a river holding a fishing rod, then scaling a sharp angled rocky cliff by the ocean.
overall i would not buy the targhee with TPU soles again
