How to Install an Outdoor Security Light
By: Danny Lipford
Replacing your existing yard lights with ones that contains motion sensors will not only enhance security but provide needed illumination automatically when you come home at night. Since this DYI project involves some basic electrical work, it is a good idea to check any bare wires with a voltage tester before handling them.
To replace your existing outdoor security light fixture:
- Start by turning on the existing yard light and making sure it is working.
- Turn off the circuit breaker to the fixture and check to be sure the light has gone off.
- Remove the old light fixture and unscrew the wire nuts holding the wires together in a counterclockwise direction.
- Attach a bracket to the box to accommodate the center mounting point of the new fixture.
- Pair each wire in the new fixture with the same color wire from the box, and screw on wire nuts in a clockwise direction to hold them in place. Be sure to ground the fixture as well.
- Attach the fixture to the box, using the rubber gasket include with it to provide a waterproof seal.
- Set the sensitivity and duration of the motion sensor.

Hi Anthony,
If the light is controlled by the switch, you would have to leave the switch on for the light to work. However, you could remove the switch and connect the wires so it's permanently on. Good luck with your project!

I have a question. If I have a flood light connect to a light switch and change it out for a sensor light. Will I have to leave that light switch on all the time for the sensor light to be able to work? Or will it work with out the switch turned off?

Hi Dennis,
Assuming the other lights you're turning on don't control the outside light as well, that is odd. You might try adjusting the sensitivity of the motion lights, or contact the manufacturer to see if they have any suggestions.

We have two rather hi quality motion lights, they detect motion just fine and work well. The issue is very strange, whenever we turn on a light switch for something else, such as the pantry switch the one light comes on in our backyard, the other light is outside our garage, and whenever I turn on that inside light switch that motion light comes on….what gives???

Hi Ronald,
It's possible that the senor is defective and will need to be replace, but try adjusting the sensitivity and length of time the light stays on first. Good luck with your project!

I recently installed my second motion detector with dual 300 watt lamps. The product is "home Land Security Lighting" and cost $26. I have them mounted at 3 corners of my home. However, the front garage set of lights seem to go quickly. The other two corners work fine, but this is the second time within months that the front garage security lights remain on all evening. The first set of lights I had installed by an electrician who had to run electric in my attic. Another fault is that I did not have him install a manual switch in the garage to shut it off. Now, I have to inactivate the breaker switch which shuts down other critical power needed. Anyway, I'm beginning to ramble too long. Bottom line, why do the lights remain activated by the motion detector. This set of lights only worked nicely for approximately 30+ days…..? HELP!

I have the same experience as others on this blog. What is the best product recommended for outdoor lighting – I'm ready for dawn to dusk models, since none of the Home Depot/Lowe's products are reliable. I'm getting tired of going up and down the ladder!!

Please help me. I have a couple motion detector lights around my house which work some of the time and if the wind blows they are on all night. Can you please suggest a high quality completely dependable light?
I need to by my garage, one on each side, one by four entries and three more around dark areas of my home.
Thank you kindly.

Motion detectors are a waste of time and money.
Your best bet is to get a cheap dusk to dawn florescent bulb like a 18 watt bulb that is for sub zero temps rated. It should put out around 100watts of bright white light. They are basically maintenance free. Why have a intruder even come up to your property? They don't like light and will avoid it all costs and choose a dark house. Good Luck!

I was looking for the response to Bill Gillroy's question from March 9th, 2008 at 8:48 pm. I am having nothing but problems with outdoor motion lights. One of these is 30 up in the air. I really want a high quality light that will work for years.

Check with Hubbell…they make Hubbell Lights, Kim Lights, etc. Intermatic (Malibu) and Home Depot stock are very unreliable. Try calling Walter's in Costa Mesa, Calfornia for direction.

Do you know of any brand of movement activated spotlight which does not require hardwiring by an electrician. We used to have one which had a power plug on the end of the lead but can now only find one with a bayonet adaptor. Since the shed we want to put it on has power points but no lighting and is over 10 metres from the house it is impossible to reach a bayonet fitting on the verandah (and anyway it is already in use). We have had a pretty high quote from an electrician to take a line under ground. Grateful for any info. I am in Western Australia.

We saw you endorse a yard/security light on the Weather Channel. What attracted our attention is there's a light at Home Depot that doesn't come on every time the wind blows. Can you tell us the name of the light? The clerks at Home Depot don't have a clue.

I also installed a motion sensor set of floodlights, not as high quality as yours but I too have had a lot of headaches with it. The most serious is that the pattern of motion detection is bizarre and unpredictable. The best detection pattern I can get is something like the shape of a bow tie; with narrow areas on ether side and a big V-shaped zone in the middle where it doesn't detect motion at all. You can walk right up to it and not trip the sensor. What a waste of time and money! In any case, I'd also like advice on type and brand of security light. Thanks, David

Developing Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorder (WMSD) Prevention Tools for High Risk Industries
Safety & Health Assessment & Research for Prevention (SHARP) Research for Safe Work
Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs)
What are Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders and Why Are They Important?
Sprains and strains of muscles, tendons, or ligaments are an all too common type of injury that most of us experience at some point in our lives. They are not always easy to foresee, they can take a long time to heal, and they can seriously impact our quality of life. Certain kinds of sprains and strains, often referred to as work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), such as tendonitis, bursitis, epicondylitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, and rotator cuff syndrome are often caused by forceful exertions, repetitive motions, and awkward postures used in the workplace. These conditions often develop over time in areas of the back, shoulder, hand/wrist, and knee, and together account for 43% of all compensable lost-time workers' compensation claims costs in Washington State and 44% of all accepted claims costs (see Figure 1).
SHARP examines workers' comp claims yearly to assess the industries at highest risk for WMSDs as well as the body areas most closely associated with compensable claims. In 2010, SHARP initiated a 5-year research project to develop and disseminate WMSD hazard assessment resources for use by employers, workers' groups, and health and safety practitioners to assist them in focusing their injury prevention efforts.
What Can We Do About the Problem?
Through both management/labor interviews and musculoskeletal risk assessments of jobs during company site visits, as well as semi-structured case follow-up interviews with injured workers themselves, we hope to develop effective prevention strategies for reducing industry-wide injury rates. We can't witness these kinds of injuries as they happen, but we can try to learn about the jobs in certain industries both before and after injuries occur. To that end, we are conducting extensive fieldwork to observe workers doing their jobs while also talking to injured workers from these same industries after they've filed compensable claims.
Industries with a wide variance in claims rates were given preference so that each contained companies with both high and low claims rates for each body region. We want to explain this variance and determine which factors differentiate the claims rates for companies of similar size and industry from one other? If different companies take different approaches to solving these kinds of issues, are there best practices we could document that might help reduce claims rates for entire industries? First hand access to comparable companies with either high or low injury rates will give us the ability to evaluate observed risk factors and potential prevention strategies.
How Do We Proceed?
Using claims data from 2000-2008, we identified 23 industries across seven NORA sectors (excluding mining, oil refining, and public safety) to include in this study (see Table 1). Companies within each of these 23 industries were stratified along three broad categories of sizesmall (20-50 full-time equivalents (FTE) per year), medium (50-100), and large (100+)and then ranked on WMSD incidence rate for each of four body regions: back, shoulder, hand/wrist, and knee.
In order to quantify the observed risk factors associated with individual jobs in these industries, our team developed a quick assessment checklist tool to use in the field which is based on several validated instruments currently available. The resulting tool was programmed to be accessed using a small handheld digital tablet (see Figure 2), and will serve as a potential model for use by employers and health and safety committees in the future as they make their workplace safer for employees.
Each participating company we visit receives a summary evaluation report (707 KB PDF / 2 min) of each observed job identifying key risk factors and recommended control measures to help reduce their workers' risk for developing WMSDs. We use data collected from injured worker interviews to both guide our analysis of and support our findings from company site visits as well as to construct informational case studies for educational and outreach purposes. Over the next 3 years, our objective is to complete:
- No less than 112 site visits to collect job assessment and interview data from 56 pairs of companies matched on size, industry sector, and body area;
- An additional 448 interviews from 224 companies regarding potentially explanatory organizational work factors; and
- 280 case follow-up interviews with injured workers.
Here's an example (855 KB PDF / 2 min) of some of the work we've done in the past. You can learn more about WMSDs from our website.
This project is funded, in part, by a grant from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). To learn more about this project call the SHARP program at 1‑888‑667‑4277 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Injuries rule QPR's Ryan Nelsen out of New Zealand's friendly international
New Zealand captain Ryan Nelsen has been ruled out of the international friendly against China due to injury.
Last Updated: 12/11/12 9:54pm
The experienced Queens Park Rangers centre-back is suffering from ankle and knee problems and will not feature in Thursday's match in Shanghai.
Nelsen's injuries are now being managed by QPR, with New Zealand happy to let him miss the game against China as they look ahead to the 2014 World Cup.
New Zealand football high performance manager Fred de Jong said: "(Nelsen) is a key asset to our campaign to qualify for the World Cup in Brazil.
"Ryan is 35 years old and we want to do all we can to make sure he is fit to play in our World Cup qualifiers in March and again in November next year if necessary."
The match against China has been scheduled to bridge a gap between New Zealand's World Cup qualifying rounds in the Oceania region.
Nelsen played in QPR's defeat by Stoke City at the weekend which left them at the bottom of the Premier League and still without a win this season.

COMMERCE >> Central Basin Municipal Water District will pay $875,000 to Pacifica Services, a Pasadena engineering firm, to settle legal claims and lawsuits stemming from a billing dispute, according to an announcement released Tuesday.
An open government activist called the settlement yet another example of mismanagement by the governing board of the agency which supplies water to communities in southeastern Los Angeles County.
"It's just another sign of a dysfunctional board where you've got vendors getting rich, attorneys are getting rich and the ratepayers are getting stuck with the bill," said Gil Aguirre. "It seems like every couple of weeks there is some black-eye over at the basin. This is hundreds of thousands of dollars of ratepayer money getting flushed down the toilet."
Pacifica had a contract to provide engineering services for a variety of Central Basin projects — mostly recycled water lines. It was paid about $3.6 million between 2007 and 2013. Pacifica has given nearly $50,000 in campaign donations to all current and past Central Basin board members since 2008.
The split between the parties erupted last year when Central Basin filed suit accusing Pacifica Services of overbilling by more than $867,385.
Pacifica officials disputed that contention and in a countersuit asked for $1 million in interest, legal fees and other costs.
A Pacifica attorney Tuesday praised the sizeable settlement.
"As far as we're concerned, it's complete vindication of what we've been saying," Attorney Steve Elie said. "Pacifica didn't do anything wrong."
Central Basin President Phil Hawkins said Tuesday's announcement reflected a desire by the agency to be more transparent.
"This settlement allows for the District to move forward and to continue our work towards providing a safe and reliable water supply in a cost-efficient and transparent manner to the more than 2 million residents in the Central Basin service area," Hawkins wrote in an email.
Aguirre said the amount of money Central Basin must pay is a significant sum.
The district has about $15 million in reserves but the fiscal 2014-15 budget may be $1.7 million out of balance.
General Manager Tony Perez didn't return a phone call seeking comment.
Recently Central Basin has been mired in controversy.
The district is under scrutiny as a result of an investigation into former state Assemblyman Tom Calderon, D-Montebello who (until February of last year) held a $12,000 monthly consulting contract with the agency.
Central Basin also recently paid $16,000 to a woman injured in an accident caused by Director Art Chacon. While he hasn't had a driver's license since 2003, he continues to collect mileage and a $597-per-month car allowance from the district.
And the district's insurance carrier last month voted to cancel Central Basin's insurance policy because of concerns about rising liability claims. Obtaining a new policy could cost an additional $61,000.

While high tech has given the South Bay one of the nation's strongest job markets over the past year, the tech sector no longer stands alone as an engine of economic growth in the Bay Area.
Other industries — some of them left for dead by economists only a couple of years ago — have turned into powerful engines, according to this newspaper's analysis of job trends supplied by the state's Employment Development Department.
Construction, retail, wholesale trade, manufacturing and restaurants, bars and hotels have joined technology to generate an upswing for the entire Bay Area.
"For a long time, people have been asking the question whether the rising tech tide in the South Bay would lift all boats," said Jon Haveman, chief economist with the Bay Area Council's Economic Institute. "That is starting to happen. Jobs that are being created in technology are starting to drive employment growth in other parts of the economy."
Jerry Nickelsburg, senior economist with the UCLA Anderson Forecast, agrees that the recovery is widening. "It started with investment in tech equipment, software, Internet services and tech-related manufacturing," he said. "That is now reaching other economic sectors."
The recovery is also spilling into other parts of the Bay Area. While job growth started most strongly in the South Bay, it has extended to the San Francisco-San Mateo-Marin metro region and, to a lesser degree, to the East Bay.
Over the one-year period that ended in November, construction was the fastest-growing industry in the Bay Area, growing 9.7 percent and adding 10,900 jobs. The information industry — which includes Internet, software, telecommunications, motion pictures, publishing and broadcasting — posted a 7.4 percent increase in employment totals, adding 8,500 jobs. The tech-oriented professional, scientific and technical services sector added 18,000 jobs, a 5.5 percent increase.
Other strongly growing industries include educational services, wholesale trade, health care, hotels and motels, retail, and restaurants and drinking establishments.
This is a sign, analysts say, that the strong tech economy is leading to a boost in consumer spending, reigniting growth in a wide range of industries throughout the Bay Area.
"Although business investment in technology is likely to remain strong, spending by South Bay residents will begin to play a larger role in overall growth," said Jordan Levine, director of economic research with Beacon Economics.
The information, Internet, telecommunications and software sector remains one of the top performers in the South Bay, adding 4,500 jobs and expanding by 8.9 percent over the one-year period that ended in November.
But the fastest-growing industry in the South Bay is now construction, when measured by percent change. The construction industry added 4,300 jobs over the year, a jump of 13.2 percent.
Overall, job totals in the South Bay grew by 3.7 percent over the year. In most of the monthly surveys of U.S. metro regions conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics over the last two years, the South Bay ranked No. 1 in job growth nationwide.
The San Francisco metro region was close behind, with a job base that grew by 3.4 percent. The East Bay has recovered more slowly but saw job growth rise 1.9 percent.
Construction's surge is especially significant because the collapse of the building industry following the meltdown of the mortgage and housing markets is frequently cited as the reason the recession was particularly vicious in the Bay Area.
"A lot of the construction gains are in two sectors, one in apartments and the other is new buildings, remodels and expansions of existing office buildings for technology companies that need more room," said Stephen Levy, director of the Palo Alto-based Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy.
And in the same way the tech boom in Silicon Valley spurred the Bay Area-wide uptick in jobs, the gains in other sectors of the economy are strongest in the South Bay but likely to spread to other parts of the region.
For instance, Mountain View-based Google (GOOG) and Cupertino-based Apple (AAPL) have been leasing or buying properties at a rapid pace. The two tech behemoths have consumed so much office space in their hometowns that they are now expanding into Sunnyvale. That, in turn, has spurred more development and construction in Santa Clara and North San Jose.
"I'm getting more construction jobs than before," said Joshua Root, a San Jose carpenter and handyman. "A lot of my friends who had been sitting at home have jobs now. Things are a lot better."
For Root, though, the recovery in construction is far from complete. He said he can't make as much on a job as before.
"The big problem is customers want to pay less," Root said. "I can't get hired for more than $25 an hour. I used to make $30 or more."
The experience of workers like Root supports a recent study Haveman conducted. For every new job in the tech sector, three or four jobs are created in other industries, he found in a report he recently completed about the U.S. technology market.
"Technology is a high-income type of position," said Michael Yoshikami, chief executive of Walnut Creek-based Destination Wealth Management. "When you have tech hiring, it is inevitable that there will be an impact on other parts of the market."
"You are seeing restaurants filling up, stores are filling up, hotels have more guests," Levy noted.
Carlos Mendez has seen the improvement this holiday shopping season at the South Bay store where he works.
"Traffic has definitely picked up and more customers and more people are buying," Mendez said.
And all signs point to continued good times in Silicon Valley, which should ultimately benefit the entire region. Scott Anderson, chief economist at Bank of the West, recently attended a gathering of executives from large, medium-size and small tech companies that make apps for mobile devices, where he got signals that the tech boom will keep moving ahead.
"They think this is a second wind for Silicon Valley," he said. "Silicon Valley is the epicenter of growth in the country right now and will continue to be that way."

There are plenty of books describing the rapid growth of African churches. Those who can't travel to witness this growth firsthand, though, can find it difficult to grasp. But now we have a set of impressive films: James Ault's new series, African Christianity Rising. It is a superb resource for anyone who wants a front-row seat to the explosion of this part of global Christianity.
Ault, whose acclaimed 1987 PBS documentary, Born Again, set a new standard for covering American fundamentalism, began filming in African churches in the late 1990s. Funding hurdles made the process agonizingly slow, although the opportunity to revisit his subjects over several years gives us interesting insights into how their stories have developed.
In its final form, African Christianity Rising comprises two DVDs, one each on churches in Ghana and Zimbabwe. (An educational edition includes a treasure trove of additional materials.) The films cover a wide spectrum of churches, each with its distinctive historical background and worship style. We see independent evangelical congregations, a classic African initiated church (Zimbabwe's Zion Apostolic Church), and a surging Pentecostal megachurch, Ghana's International Central Gospel Church, founded by Mensa Otabil. We also learn about Ghana's Roman Catholic Church and the Pentecostal Assemblies of Zimbabwe.
Much of the material, though, concerns what North Americans would regard as mainline Protestant congregations—Grace Presbyterian in Akropong, Ghana, and St. James United Methodist in Mutare, Zimbabwe. So initially familiar to North Americans, the "mainline" setting makes the differences all the more startling when they emerge.

Keen Targhee II
I have been wearing the Targee II's for a number of…
Price Paid: $110
I have been wearing the Targee II's for a number of years now. They are probably my all time favorite shoe. My first pair lasted a good awhile but eventually split a the toe seem. I bought a new pair and with very little use other than an out to dinner, once in a while kind deal, the toe area split on the new pair.
I contacted Keen and let them know that I exected nothing on the first pair. I really didn't even expect much on the new pair other than maybe a little pro-rated help on a replacement third pair (sent detailed pictures also).
The second pair was worn so sparingly but was older than one year and the factory refused any help in any way. I have never had the problem with any other shoe or boot that I have ever worn of any type and you can see in both pair that the material overlap was extremely minimal to hold the joint together.
I like the shoe so much that I brought a third pair and only wear them at times where my dogs want to enjoy themselves and keep watch over the seam. I have seen a similar failure on a Targhee II in Vermont where I actually stopped the person and asked about them.
The Targhee II in my opinion is a great shoe but the customer service aspect of the manufacture was nonexistent in my case.
Soles started falling to pieces after only a month…
Source: bought it new
Soles started falling to pieces after only a month or so.
This is my second pair of Targhee IIs. My first pair were worn most days for 2-3 years, including much wilderness hiking as well as city walking. I ended up replacing them when the wear on the heal became obvious—they were great.
The new pair are at the other end of the spectrum as far as quality. It seems that the glue used to hold the layers of the sole together was substandard. Part of the tread started peeling away after only a few weeks and now it looks like a whole layer will fall off soon. It's been less than a year.
Too bad about your new Targhees not holding up, Martin. If you have some pictures to show how they've come apart, those would be helpful to see in your review.

Source: bought via a "pro deal"
Price Paid: $70
I've really wanted to love these shoes...but just can't.
- Relatively lightweight
- Good tread
- Good support
- Waterproof
- Painful lacing
- Wide heel cup
I've owned a pair of these boots for about four years now, and I've really wanted to love them, but I just can't. I tried on a pair of the Targhee II Mid boots size 11 in a store, and really like the fit and comfort, especially the wide toebox. But, I wanted the low shoe version and the store didn't have any. So, I ordered the low shoe version online, size 11.
However, when they arrived they just weren't as comfortable. First, the heel cup was too wide, so I had to lace them tight to keep my foot from sliding forward in the shoe. I normally lace my shoes up pretty tight to begin with, but I had to tighten these even more. To the point that the laces started digging into the top of my feet and were very uncomfortable. I checked and confirmed that they were the medium width, so it wasn't the wrong width shoe.
So, I thought perhaps I just ordered the wrong size for these. I sent them back and got a size 10.5 instead. The heel cup was a bit smaller in this size, but still a bit more spacious than I preferred. I did have to lace them up pretty tight, but by wearing a pair of medium weight wool socks, I didn't have to lace them up quite as much. So the laces weren't digging across my feet anymore. However, now they were slightly too short that my toes pressed up against the front of the shoe slightly. Not to the point that I felt I needed to return them, but made them slightly less comfortable.
In the end, I kept the 10.5 size shoe and have traded between the Targhee II and a pair of Merrells when heading out for a hike or backpacking trip. The Targhee II have proven to be very durable, and even though they are a low shoe, they still provide my feet with enough support to handle multi-day backpacking trips with 40-70 pounds of gear on my back. They don't offer much in terms of ankle support, but they aren't intended to. But the footbed has been more then adequate for my use. Additionally, the toe bumper is a nice feature that has protected my toes from numerous rock strikes.
I've been able to test the waterproof-ness and have had no issues with water entering the shoe. However, this feature also makes the shoe much warmer than it would normally be. Usually not an issue for me, but it could be for others.
They have held up quite nicely over the years. I don't wear them too regularly, maybe 30-40 days a year, but they pretty much still look brand new, even after multiple backpacking trips of 20+ miles.
Would I buy the low version of the Targhee II's again? Probably not. I've tried the Targhee II Mid a couple of times in stores to see if the pair I originally tried on was an anomaly, but every pair I've tried has felt super comfortable, and I plan on picking up a pair of the Mid the next time I feel I need a new pair of hiking/backpacking boots.

Nice review, mackaym, thanks! Too bad about the fit issues though.

Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $99
These are great shoes for hiking and really protect your feet if you are hiking in rocky terrain. They breathe well, and dry quickly. The soles grip the ground well, even on rocky slopes.
- Protected toe
- Strong gripping soles
- Comfortable
- Will let deeper water in
- Little ankle support
I've been hiking in these shoes for over a year and I've really liked them. There's virtually no break-in time. They never gave me blisters and are comfortable even after big miles.
The laces are a little short so if you use custom lacing methods, purchase longer ones. I do find that really fine gravel sometimes finds its way in and needs to be emptied which is a little annoying. This is a low cut trail shoe, so if you are an easy ankle roller, perhaps the Targhee II Mids would be better for you. My ankles are usually pretty stable, so these have worked well for me.
The sole goes up a ways on the sides, which helps keep water out. They are relatively water resistant when walking through small puddles or mud, but expect to get wet feet if you miss-step in a stream crossing. They do dry pretty quickly, though.
My favorite part is the toe protection — it is really great when you're worn out at the end of a hike and keep kicking rocks. The soles are very grippy and are very stable even on steep slopes. I have been using them for over a year, and they have held up very well. They are well constructed and feel very durable.
Even in chillier weather, they work pretty well. I've used them in light snow with a good pair of wool socks. Obviously they won't protect you from deeper snow, as they don't go up past the ankles.
To sum it up they are waterproof. They are light on…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $80?
To sum it up they are waterproof. They are light on the feet. The heal is well cushioned and supportive. And most importantly they are comfortable.
- Comfortable
- Light
- Waterproof
- Affordable
- Over time the first thing to go is the waterproofness
I have had my pair for 2.5 years now and they have held strong. When I buy shoes I assess how the heal is when I walk, for I walk sort of like a penguin, in that my feet are very angled when I walk. As a result the heals of some shoes feel awkward, so when trying these they passed the test.
I live in Southern California, in the mountains, so I use them in the mountains. I love backpacking, but I hate boots, so I will more than gladly pull the laces tight on my Keens and hit the trail. The heal is very well cushioned, and feel much better than any other shoe I have owned, so a 50-, 60-, 70-lb pack won't bother your heals (no guarantee on the back though). They are also extremely light, yet strong, and provide excellent traction. Though I must admit that after several years of abuse I have worn the traction down, but I haven't tossed them because they are still holding up (thus they are strong).
Since I do live in Southern California, the waterproofness hasn't been as big of an need as it would be in my native Washington, but I do live in the mountains, and so come winter they have been great, as they don't get soaked through while traipsing through the snow.
As for fit, they fit great. I am a size 9 and the 9 was perfect. The comfort has been great, with no need of breaking in. And I never get blisters (the other reason I prefer them while backpacking).
I will note that after several years of use and abuse the first thing to go was the water resistance. I would complain more, but I live in Southern Cal, and they are holding together. The traction, which is awesome, will decline with use. I feel the sole is of a softer rubber, which provides greater grip, but with two years of lots of use will show the wear, and currently I have little/no tread left. But because of the rubber, it does continue to provide decent traction on many surfaces. It is only over the last six months that the shoe has started to come apart at the seems, but it is only a little outer dehiscence (for you medical folk), and the inner lining has held strong, so I am still out there going strong.
For the price, which is really competitive, you get an awesome shoe.
I wore the Targhee IIs in the winter as a street shoe…
Price Paid: $90
I wore the Targhee IIs in the winter as a street shoe and as my hiking shoe in non-sandal weather when there wasn't snow on the ground. I love the way they fit and the waterproofing is excellent.
The worst thing about shoes is the plastic both sides of sole at the midfoot. Step on a wet log on the midfoot (which is your natural balance point) and your foot shoots out from under you. If you are not very coordinated or lucky, you will fall.
My Targhee II's split after about 5 years. I like the way the look and love the way they fit.
Due to the plastic on the soles, I will not be purchasing new ones. I am replacing them with Keen's Siskiyou WP shoes. They aren't leather so they don't lend themselves to casual dress like the Targhee II's, but they don't have plastic on the soles.
For what it's worth, I wrote Keen about the problem with plastic on the bottom of hiking shoes and they never responded.
First time fit is a bit snug, however my feet do run…
Materials: Keen Dry, Leather, Mesh
Use: hiking, walking in rain
Break-in Period: 10+ miles

First time fit is a bit snug, however my feet do run wide. But after you wear them for a bit you get them broken in and they are great. Dry Dry Dry Dry Dry, I've yet to have water get into these, although I haven't hiked on many trails with stream crossings in them, but in the rain they are leak proof. Grip is great, had no problem on some rock scrambles and even a little bouldering action.
Overall this has been a very comfortable shoe. I have…
Materials: leather
Use: short dayhikes, rought trail dayhikes with daypack, anything up to 8 miles.
Break-in Period: 2 weeks
Price Paid: $119
Overall this has been a very comfortable shoe. I have used them on a variety of trails and terrain. From sand trails to rugged rock slides. They grip really well and once broken in are very comfortable.
The downside that I am most upset about this shoe is how long they are lasting. Either I am very tough on my shoes or the rubber soles on these things are cheap. I bought them last April 08 and they are almost completely wore out. And I am not hiking every day here. I have had other hiking shoes hold up longer.
The rest of the shoe is fine, but the rest of it is wearing out like someone doing burnouts with offroad tires if you know what I mean.
On second note, it's worth getting the Gore-tex model, I opted for cheap 20$ less for the non and every time I step in a puddle I regret it.

Overall, this Keen shoe is great. I use them for day hikes and for general, casual use. I would not plan on using these shoes for backpacking due to the low ankle support.
Once broken in, they are a very comfortable shoe, with plenty of room for your toes and a tight fit around the ankle. My feet don't swim in the shoe either. I've done some intense circuits (up/down) and I did not have problems with my toes rubbing. Cushioning is very good, and the soles are moderately stiff (good for stepping on rocks.)
The shoes were tight during the break-in period (about 8 miles). After that, they are very comfortable.
Why 4 stars? I'm not married to the look of the shoe, but due to the comfort, I am getting over this minor issue.

- Great day hike shoe
- Great traction
- Deep lugs
- Very wide toe box
- Runs large
- Little heel slip
Great overall day hike shoe, with a light pack.
I have an EE wide foot and usually go 1/2 size up to accommodate my wide foot with a medium or heavy merino sock. Exactly what I did with this shoe, and it's still a bit big.
Very durable. And I've abused them. Waterproof in light trail water.
I love these shoes. It's like they're made for my Flintstone feet. My go-to shoes for 15 miles or less hikes.
Thanks for the review, Kerry.

Good looking hiking shoe that is great for every day, but my ankle was killed on my last hike.
- Good looks
- Excellent toe protection
- Water resistance
- Lack of ankle support
- Heel slip
I had been shopping for a new pair of hiking shoes and decided on this pair about two months ago. I usually wear an 8 1/2 and sometimes 9, but ended up with the 8 1/2. I was about to buy them at REI, but they were out of stock and ended up getting them on Amazon.
I wore them around all day for a week in town, long walks, and easy hikes to break them in. I really do not believe that they really needed to be broken in, but you never know. These have been totally comfy, but with a little heel slip. After I adjusted the laces, I had much less of a problem with that. I also added my sock liners when I went for the hikes.
I didn't take these though any streams or lakes, but they held up really well in mud and in rain. They were pretty easy to clean off as well. I felt that these shoes had some good grip as well. By the end of my hikes I was happy to get these off and cool off my feet, as they kept my feet pretty warm.
My last hike that I went on was this past Monday with one of my dogs on a 4 loop trail. There's a good amount of hill and uneven land to go over and we were doing really well till I landed on the ground with a hurt ankle. I took a moment to make sure I was okay, but made the decision to head back on the fastest route. My ankle went twice on my way back. (Lets just say that I've not been hiking since then this week, sniff!)
I do really like these shoes, but will probably not take them on a more intense hike around here. I may end up with the boot style of the Targhees.
Sorry to hear about the ankle. I hope it gets better quickly.

The Vibram sole adds stability and comfort. Made for a medium width foot. If you have a narrow foot, these shoes are not for you.
I purchased the shoes for an off-road half marathon.
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $NZ 269
I purchased the shoes for an off-road half marathon. They are definitely not suited to this kind of activity. The shoes are unyielding, and my feet were sore for more than a week after the event. Be prepared to wear thick socks with undersole cushioning.
- Good grip in mud and loose surfaces
- Waterproof in shallow water
- Rigid and unyielding with very poor cushioning.
- The tongue appears too narrow, causing ridges that dig into the top of the feet.
I was sold the Targhee II as a lightweight hiking shoe, suitable for off-road events.
The shoes are a good fit, which is important as I have a wide (4E) foot. As I have low ankle bones, I frequently have problems with shoes pressing on my ankles, but this was not an issue with the Targhee II. The lacing system is good, and the laces hold their grip well. The shoes are waterproof, and the soles provide good grip in mud, on slippery clay, and on wet leaves.
I feel that I made a mistake in choosing to wear the shoes new for an off-road half marathon event, however I have subsequently found them still uncomfortable to wear, even as a casual 'knock-around' shoe. There is minimal or no cushioning in the insole, and the shoes feel rigid to wear. More than a week after the event I tried the shoes on again, meaning to wear them as casual shoes, but my feet were still too sore to wear the Targhees due to their lack of cushioning.
I have since worn them, once, and continue to find them uncomfortable to wear. In addition to the discomfort caused by the lack of cushioning, the design of the tongue causes the webbing joining the tongue to the body of the upper to create ridges that dig into the top of my foot.
Great fit out of the box. Wide toe box. Good traction.

Great fit out of the box. Wide toe box. Good traction. I use this shoe for hiking rough mountainous trails. I would recommend this hiking shoe for anyone and especially if you have a wide foot.
- Fit
- Traction
- Wears well
- Needs an insert for better heel fit.
I am on my fourth pair of this shoe. It always fits great right out of the box with no break-in needed. I get no chaffing at all. Inserts wear fast so I put a better insert in after about 50 miles. I get about 375 to 425 miles out of each pair. Support is good in the sole and arch. it is a low shoe so there is no ankle support.
It is waterproof and does well crossing streams. I use an old pair for fishing shoes.
I trust the traction both uphill and down hill. They grip rocks great.
Shoe laces work good for adjustments needed. Outside tread came loose on one of my pairs and had to glue it back on.
I hike 80 to 110 miles per month in rugged desert mountains. I will use this shoe as long as they keep making them. I have been extremely satisfied with them. I highly recommend this shoe.

Poor fit, disappointing quality from Keen. Great customer service, though.

- Waterproof

- Poor fit
I bought a pair of theses at my local outfitter and in the store they seemed to fit pretty good. I am a big Keen fan and have looked at these for some time before finally deciding to pull the trigger right after Thanksgiving 2012.
Once I got them home and started wearing them I realized there was a problem getting them to fit properly. The tongue would bunch up under the laces and would not allow me to tighten properly. If I tried to make the tongue lay correctly it would create pressure points on top of my feet. They also had a very loose fit and did not feel very stable on the trail.
My local outfitter would not take them back because they had been worn but did offer to exchange for a different size. The problem was the 8 1/2 was too small (I bought a 9 which is my usual size). They suggested I contact Keen.
Keen's customer service is awesome! I emailed them and explained the problem and was directed to fill out an online warranty form (the shoes were only a month old). After a couple of weeks, I received an email from Keen with a credit for the full price ($120) of the Targhees to be used towards an online purchase. Fantastic! I was disappointed because I really liked the Targhees and wanted them to work, but I was also very pleased because what I really wanted was a new pair of Keens.
After a lot of research and reading online reviews, I chose a pair of Gypsum boots as the replacement. That turned out to be a great choice and I will submit a separate review for them. Bottom line, I just could not get the Targhees to fit me, they were unwearable. If they work for you, then I think they are a great shoe.

The Keen Targhee II is a low cut hiking shoe. It is waterproof and breathable. I find it to be very sturdy and comfortable, both in the woods and in town. The lacing ends with the laces going through a strap that goes to the top of the heel on both sides. I assume the purpose of this is to lock the heel down and prevent it from moving side to side. The sole of the shoe is very sturdy and provides comfort on rocks, sticks and roots. The toe box is quite large and provides a very comfortable fit.
- I really like the fit. I find the shoe to be very comfortable and sturdy.
- Very sturdy shank, enhancing the comfort.
- The KeenDry waterproofing is great
- Traction is terrible.
I really like this shoe. I bought them when I was at my heaviest (250 lbs) and was having all kinds of lower leg and foot problems.

The sole of the shoe is very sturdy and provides comfort on rocks, sticks and roots. The toe box is quite large and provides a very comfortable fit.
I have been very impressed with the waterproofing on this shoe. I have yet to have any kind of water enter the shoe through the membrane. I also find the breathability to be second to none. This is one of the shoe's best features — you can wear them day after day and they don't get funky.
Breaking them in required daily use for me and I did feel some discomfort in the sides of the heel where the straps between the heel and the lacing passes through the stitching. This mechanism produced a bump inside the heel area on both sides that irritated my foot.
I bought Superfeet when I bought these shoes, but found that the arch support and insole in the shoe itself was more than adequate. These shoes, in fact, became the only shoe I wore as my feet and ankles rehabilitated themselves as I dropped from 250 down to 225.
The only issue I have with the show is the traction. Wearing them at work, I have to be extremely careful walking across a newly mopped floor or wet concrete. And though I wear them all time on walks through the woods, I am very uncomfortable climbing mountains with them.
In fact, the first time I wore them hiking, I climbed Streaked Mountain in Buckfield, Maine, at the tail end of a rain shower. Streaked is sheet rock from about half way. Though I got to the top okay, as I was shooting video with my phone at the summit, I slipped on the rock and smashed my phone on the ground. Coming down was extremely dicey, with my feet slipping out from under me a couple of times.
I really like these shoes, as I have said before. However, in terms of using them for what I bought them for, mountain climbing, they are unusable. The lack of confidence they inspire prevent me from wearing them in the mountains. This is disappointing at the price point of $120.
If you are looking for around town shoes and money isn't the issue it is to me, these are great shoes. Personally, I am going back to my worn out L.L. Bean $59 hikers.

Price Paid: $156
I found the shoe took a long time to "break in" despite the manufacturer comments that it does not require breaking in. The shoe is very waterproof, I have stood with the shoes submerged over the laces and no water penetrated the membrane at all,
I have an issue with the seam on the heal between the fabric and the waterproof membrane. It is a cause of friction not due to poor fit and as a result blisters are a big problem on longer walks.
Despite many different methods of socks/liner socks, taping, lacing techniques and Superfeet Green inserts I haven't been able to overcome this issue. Part of this problem is due to my left foot being slightly smaller than my right, and as such these problems are greater on my left heel.
Overall, I find the Keen Targhee 2 shoes to be a very comfortable fit, but I recommend an intensive in-store evaluation before you commit to purchasing them. I would also strongly recommend the boot instead of the shoe for any hiking situation for better waterproofing and ankle support on uneven terrain.
This experience hasn't swayed me from keen, I've recently purchased some Newport H2 sandals and I love them.

Break-in Period: on the trail - replacement for other shoes
Weight: 14 oz.
Price Paid: $110
I bought these shoes to replace another pair on my PCT Oregon segment hike. Within the first week I had a nasty blister on my heel and under both front toes. After 300 miles the stitching at the toe came loose on both shoes. The soles did not offer enough cushioning on the lava. I couldn't wait to get these shoes off at night. The waterproofing wore off when it came time to ford streams and rivers.
I contacted Keen when I returned. My recourse is to return the shoes where I bought them (very inconvenient since I bought them in Ashland and I live in Eastern Oregon) or get a replacement of another Keen footwear product from the company.
Unfortunately, I don't see anything that's comparable in price that I want.

This is an amazing hiking shoe! I was nervous to hike very far in these just because they are low-tops, but they're awesome! I hiked Mt. Whitney in them, with a 22lb. pack - did 21 miles in a day without blisters! I did try wearing them backpacking, but the weight of the pack was too much for these shoes.
The most amazing thing is that the Targhee 11's do not need any breaking in time; they fit great from day one! I wear them to hike in 3-4 days a week (purchased them a year ago), and they're still going strong. Thank you Keen!

Use: short dayhikes, dayhikes over rough trails, wet weather
Break-in Period: almost none
Price Paid: $120
The wide toebox is perfect for my foot, and the arch support is very comfortable. I wore these boots around town for several days to be sure they were broken in, but they didn't really need any breaking in at all because they fit great.
My first day hiking in them consisted of two short hikes; I wore them with Smartwool socks and had no blisters, I also walked through some mud and puddles and my feet didn't get wet. I couldn't wait to get them off, however, because my feet were getting pretty warm.
The second day hike was quite a bit longer and over much rockier terrain. I felt like Spiderman on the rocks! I didn't slip at all and the only problem was that the downhill return trip was a little tough on my toes. I do, however, have knee problems and wasn't walking well anyway. Near the end of the hike we were caught in a hard rainstorm and were soaked completely through, except my socks weren't totally wet.
My only problem with these boots is that the ankle support comes up to an awkward height for me and digs into my Achilles tendon a little while walking down steep hills. It did prevent me from twisting my ankle twice, though. All in all, these boots were definitely worth the price based on my first couple of hikes in them.
Update: April 20, 2009
I have hiked several times in these boots and I refuse to do it anymore; I've moved into hiking in either Teva Aravallis or sandals. I hiked the AT on an overnight trail and my feet got so beat to hell in these boots that I lost the big toenail on my left foot and damaged my big toenail on my right foot, as well as the second toes on both my feet.
This is, of course, partially my fault for not using hiking poles and wearing socks that were too thick because the weather was cold. However, I don't find there to be enough cushion in these boots to do anything but wear them around town.
Also, I wore them in the rain today and my socks were a bit damp after a 30 minute downpour, so use an extra sealant if you're going to be in wet weather.
I ended up returning these after about one month of…
Materials: leather & gore-tex
Use: short dayhikes and everyday use
Break-in Period: 1-month
Weight: 175
Price Paid: $110
I ended up returning these after about one month of use. I purchased 1/2 size larger based on the recommendation of the EMS saleman. I guess Keens run small. The shoe was very tight and uncomfortable. The soles are stiff and never really broke in. I also didn't like arch support.

Vintage Cookbooks Reveal Secrets of America's Past
"American Cookery" is staging a comeback. Scholars in fields like culinary history and food studies are working alongside a thriving community of food professionals and amateurs, all of whom find cookbooks an invaluable window into daily life in yesterday's kitchens. They turn to the culinary collections at the Radcliffe Institute's Schlesinger Library.
