anyone feel grip is solid on wet rocks/leaves, going downward on hill, e.g.

I had a spectacular fall when stepping on wet leaves on a flat rock. I had been walking slowly on a flat trail and was totally shocked from falling at all! I learned later that as wonderful as these boots have been to me, their one flaw is their lack of grippiness on wet surfaces. 99% of the time of wearing them has been totally problem free. I wish Keen would develop alternative models that had grippier soles.

Are these boots ideal for a 3-4 day backpacking trip?

These boots should work well for a 3-4 day backpacking trip. Only thing I could add is these boots come to mid ankle, so they provide ankle support, but not major ankle support. If you are carrying a heavy pack and are going where there is a lot of fist sized rocks on the trail, you might want more ankle support. That statement is a reflection of the trail, not the boot. I have been wearing these boots for years, every day for two weeks at a time, on 10-20 miles hiking trips in southern CO. Never had a problem.

The Keen website says these run a half size small and recommends ordering a half size larger. Is this true?

This is my second pair of Keens. I also have a pair of SOLR sandals. Love them both. I wear a size 11 1/2 in all my sneakers and cowboy boots. In a Keen I wear a size 13. In both my SOLR sandals and these Targhee II hiking boots I originally ordered a size 12. Had to send them both back and get a size 13. And I can compare them sole-to-sole with any of my size 11 1/2 sneakers and they are the same length.

Are these authentic keen brand boots?

If you buy them from Davidson Shoes Inc., I can assure you they are 100 % authentic Keen boots. We buy direct from Keen. Our retail store has been in business in the same location for over 125 years. We cannot speak for any other amazon sellers. Mark Hogan President Davidson Shoes Inc.

Not repairable

They are third pair I’ve had and though very comfortable they don’t last more than 2/3 years of dog walking before sole separates and are not repairable so in future will try to find brand that includes some form of repair route

Rock solid, built tough, super comfortable and pretty light.

I bought these because my (second) pair of Keen Jaspers finally gave up after 3-4 years of abuse on a goat/fruit farm and walking West Papua, and then walking and hiking in Taiwan, Japan, Africa, and Europe. To be fair, I pushed those Jaspers too hard, so I got these for the farm and Jaspers for walking and man, was that a good decision. These are really comfortable, feel a little like Nike airs, but tough as nails. Can't comment on durability because I've only had them for a month but they are great shoes. Actually wanted some steel caps, like the Keen Utility Men's Lansing Low Steel Toe Work Shoe, but could not get those in Japan. So these were my second choice, but I was *very* pleasantly surprised. I think we're going to be together for a long time. Fits as expected. Can't recommend them highly enough.
