Keen Targhee II Mid SKU #7241235(View on Zappos.com Classic)

I love the Keen Targhee II Mid. It's light, breathable and waterproof. It has wonderful support, is wider than most boots, has great traction (I jog with my horse in mine). Not to be confused with the low top, they run larger (this boot runs a little small, as much as a full size). I'm on my second pair and still love them. I wear mine every day. I live on a mountain in Hawaii so the breathability and waterproof are unbeatable. Enjoy!

Excellent for trekking. I wore these shoes for trekking around Switzerland and I cannot stop raving about them. There was no need to break them in; I just threw them on my feet straight from the box. I normally wear a size 6 or 6.5, but purchased these in a 7 since I knew I would be wearing thick, warm socks with them. The 7 was a perfect fit for me. Also, my feet are very flat and it is hard for me to find any comfortable shoes. I would give these shoes 10 stars in comfort if I could. The duration of my trip was mostly in rain or snow, but my feet were always happy, warm, dry and gripped walking surfaces just fine. No need to look elsewhere. Buy these shoes and only buy from Zappos!

This is a comfortable, waterproof hiking boot. I only have one complaint based on the comfort. There is a spot around the inside which hugs the ankle and it is a tad irritating. Wearing thick knee high socks help this problem. This boot has some style to it too; a rugged, outdoorsy style.

LOVE THESE BOOTS! LOVE THESE BOOTS! LOVE THE ZAPPOS CONSULTANTS THAT HELPED ME FIND THEM! I had ordered two other pair to try (a Merrell and a Solomon) and neither fit right. I called the Outdoor Consultants at Zappos and explained where I was going (northern Minnesota, Boundary Waters Area) and how the other boots had fit. He suggested these instead. I ordered two different sizes and found the best fit was a full size up from my normal shoe size. Oh, and did I mention this all happened on a Wednesday and I was leaving on Friday! Love the fast shipping! So I hiked in these with no breaking in period, and they were FANTASTIC! So comfortable and supportive! Hilly trails, loose rocks, some water, etc. didn't matter: these boots were great. Basically, I didn't think about my feet at all because they felt so good. Can't recommend them enough. You might need to order a size larger than normal, though. LOVE THESE BOOTS!

Like other reviewers, I needed a larger size in this boot than my normal shoe size. My feet are wide at the toes and narrow at the heel, and rather low volume (alright, I've got duck feet!). I usually take a 9 1/2 or 10, and an 11 fit real well with good padded hiking socks. They felt great out of the box and walking around my flat town. I'll let you know how they do next month in the Georgia mountains.

Once again, a great shoe! Comfy from the first day I put them on. Lightweight. They do run a 1/2 size smaller. If you like your shoes with a little extra room, I would suggest going a full size larger.

Amazing out of box comfort and performance. Pros: Arch Support, Comfortable/No Break-In, Dries Quickly, Durable, Great Traction, Shock-Absorbent, Stabilizes Foot. Cons: None. Best uses: All Weather Conditions, Grass, Mixed Terrain, Muddy Conditions, Rocky/Unstable Terrain. Comments about Keen Targhee II Mid Hiking Boots - Women's: Just got back from the Alps where I hiked the Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB) 107 mile Mountain trail wearing my Keen Targhee II Mids every step of the way. These boots were so comfortable and all around able in every aspect that one summarizing word kept coming to mind when thinking about the shoes performance - fantastic! Immediately comfortable, I wore these boots for a total of about ten miles of hiking prior to putting foot to the trail on the TMB with full confidence that the product would take care of me without biting back. That is, no blisters. Confidence rewarded, neither I nor my hiking companion who was also wearing Targhee II's had one blister during the entire seriously descending and ascending trail. The waterproof capabilities of the shoe were better than any other boot I've ever worn. That is, no soak through when passing through dewy grass and no water penetration when crossing shallow stream beds. Water ran over the top of my forefoot resulting in no water inside the shoe. Very nice! I wore Smartwool PhD lt. hiking socks for the majority of the trip and the shoe/sock paring was great. As has become my practice on long-distance hiking outings, when I stop for a rest, snack or simply to take in a stunning view, I take off my shoes and socks to let my feet and footwear breathe and dry out a bit before continuing. When doing so I did find that my shoes and socks were wet with perspiration, but my feet never felt any negative effects from this. With hundreds of mountain backpacking miles on my feet, I highly recommend this method of removing your hiking boots as described previously. Like others have described, I did move up one half size to fit this boot well. The shoes grip well on all terrain and the larger toe bumper offers nice protection on the trail. The shoelaces were just the right length and I appreciated that the type of shoelace Keen used stayed tightly tied for each day's hike. The shoes show less-than-average wear for the miles and type of terrain crossed. Highly recommend this boot.

I spent about four months trying to find a comfortable pair of hiking boots. I mostly do long day trips at Bear Mountain or in the Adirondacks. After searching for a long time (ordering and returning from Zappos), I settled on these. I have another pair of boots from another manufacturer that are stiffer and more supportive, but they fully cover my ankle and go up my calf a little bit. After a few hours of hiking, the outsides of both legs were in so much pain that my husband had to cut slits in the boots so I could finish. These Keen boots cover my ankles, but don't go up so high, so I don't have that problem. They were comfortable immediately. They are wider in the toe, which is good for me. I usually wear a 9 or 9.5 shoe; my boots are a 10. I read a number of other reviews in which people report that they have worn these boots on the Inca Trail, and I am planning on doing the same in August.They look nice, too.

Just received these boots and they seem very comfortable; I think I will love them like I do the Newport sandal and boot. I ordered an 8.5 to compensate for hiking socks, but returned them for a 9.5. They allow for the thickness of the sock. Unusual size for my usual 7.5-8 sized feet. Thank you Zappos for lightening speed delivery.
