Hiking boots for long backpacking trip

Hello all. I am going to be doing lots of walking/hiking in the next few months while backpacking though France, Italy, etc, and am looking for boot advice. I have a bad knee, and Keen is the only shoe that treats it right. I am considering buying the Keen Targhee II Mid, but am concerned that a) they won't last too long (my old Keens fell apart within a year) and b) won't offer quite enough ankle support. I'd like to know if anyone has any suggestions on boots similar to Keen for their arch support and light weight that will last a bit longer and provide a little more ankle support (without being too hot in the summer weather). Thank you!
