Between heaven and earth! Perfect for mild weather hiking. Foot bed more narrow than sandals for better feel over rocks. Good grip on wet rocks; be careful on the slicks though. Pretty good ankle support. Thick socks might be a problem in cold weather.

Two paws up... In the human world, we are devoid of natural claws for grip and climbing, thus we must compensate for such through the use of shoes. In my book, the Keen Targhee are among the best "claws" available. I'm a big fan of Merrell, Vasque, La Sportiva, and now Keen. Although the Targhee runs a bit narrow and perhaps a half-size small (I wear a 13 and had to re-order a 14 in the Targhee), when fit correctly, they are very comfortable. The cool thing is that the Targhee looks aggressive AND it functions well with deep, wide lugs that have great grip and seem to be moderately self-cleaning. While not as "claw-like" as maybe the La Sportiva Pingora or Makalus, the Targhee are a great balance. Waterproof, cool looking, and durable - they get two paws up from this wolf.

Great work shoe - I bought this shoe as a gift for my husband. The shoe runs a 1/2 size smaller. He works 15 hour days and needed another pair of shoes. He is a real critic on shoes & he really loves the shoe, no break in period on any Keen we have bought so far. Keen is the most comfortable shoe brand I have ever worked in. I have the Monterey & absolutely love it. I have recommended this brand to everyone I work with. I wish they made women's Mid. Thanks!!!
Brands I'd also recommend: Women's Monterey is the greatest shoe I have ever wore. I also love the Antigua.

Keen? Never heard of it. And, they look funky. That's all good. I have NEVER worn shoes like these Keen models. I now have 3 different pairs, 2 Providence models, and the Targhee. Each pair seems to be molded for my feet. I have discovered as of late, that my left foot is a wee bit longer than my right. A minor issue. If these are boots, well, I think they weigh less than my clogs; and that’s a good thing. The arch support is good, and the heel cushioning is good. If I had a pair of 10's right here, I'd try them on; but I don't feel the need to return the 9.5's. But, they may be just a little tight and short. Big fat socks, watch out. It's funny now that it seems some Keen models fit PERFECTLY true to size, but the mid's seem, maybe, a 1/4 size small. But these Keen shoes are just unbelievable out of the box, and the look is right there. The toe guard will be patented; it's a big plus for kicking things :-). I really cannot say enough about how these shoes feel. I do A LOT of walking, and need a light shoe (boot for winter). I'm a visiting RN, so I'm in and out of my car like 8 times a day. The sole looks very self cleaning. I'm hoping they'll loosen up a little, but again, I can't wait to test drive them. Supportive, light, hip. You are hooked up! Thanks to Zappos for getting these to me in, drum roll, 1 DAY! This company should be the role model for customer service throughout the retail industry. That is all.

Great!! The typical Keen experience, a great shoe, very light and comfortable. I took the reviewers advice and ordered a half size large, the fit is good. These aren't as wide as other Keen shoes, but still fit very well.
Brands I'd also recommend: Any Keen.

The best hiking boot I've ever owned - I do not know what it is about the Keen styling, but they are the best fitting shoes I've ever owned (I now have 5 pairs!) I am female, and I feel no difference in the mens and womens cut, but the mens size seems better in length. They fit better and are more comfy than my more expensive LLBean Hikers, which I will probably sell on eBay now!
Brands I'd also recommend: Keens!

KEEN ON KEEN - I love the fit and look of Keen boots and shoes in general and although I’m a woman I still wanted the mid style Targhee and ordered it in my usual men’s size and found it to be a full size too small just like another pair of Keens that I have. So once you figure out their sizing these are great shoes.
Brands I'd also recommend: Camper, Rocket Dog, Fluevog Lowa

Great hiking boots - I do a lot of hiking and backpacking and don't always stick to the trail. I have found these light hikers to be good on the trail and off. They have good ankle support and pretty good grip. But the thing I really like about them is that Keen comfort. They are the most comfortable hiking boot I've ever had.

Keen Targhee fit - Got the Targhee about 2 weeks ago and really love the looks. Great sole and comfort is reasonable. Only drawback is the shoes feel smaller than advertised size. I usually get 11 1/2 in just about any shoe. I got the 12 for the Keen and it is barely wearable. The fit is very tight with thinner socks that I would prefer wearing...

Very Pleased With Fit - It's difficult but important finding shoes with good arch support and a comfortable fit, which is why I like all my Keens. The Targhee seems to run one size smaller than my other same size marked Keens.

Decent boot - The Targhee is a decent boot though it indulges is some of the wacky styling that's happening right now. It fit comfortably but its' arch support was a little lacking.

Did what they were meant to do - Took them up the Mountaineer's route on Whitney - class 3-4. They did great, although they got pretty torn up. Comfortable, very stable just not very durable.

Usually I don't put stock in reviews...glad I listened! I have been suffering with plantar fasciitis. I'm doing all the home remedies...massage, ice, and rolling golf balls on my arch, chiropractor, & now physical therapy. I knew I needed some better shoes, as I am on my feet all day. I never heard of Keen, but after reading everyone's positive results, I knew I had nothing to lose. I just received them & don't want to take them off! Best arch support I have felt in a shoe or boot. It is like a constant reminder to my feet to stay strong & get better. Very lightweight as well, which is key. It feels like an orthodic shoe, but has absolute "outdoorsy" style. Now that's usually hard to come by, always having to choose style or function. Thanks to all for your reviews to help me make a wise choice & I thank Keen for making this boot. I questioned the tips to buy larger, but I listened. I am always a 9, and ordered 9.5 in these. Good thing, they fit well with medium thickness socks. Definitely go a half size larger.

Excellent Boot - This is my 4th pair of Keen shoes; like always, I'm very pleased. This is a great boot for hiking or just leisure wear. I find that the shoe is true to size and I appreciate the roomy toe box; a consistent Keen trait. Would definitely purchase again.

I waited a few months before writing a review so I could give the shoe time to break-in. I don't doubt the glowing reviews of this boot but in my case the shoe didn't quite live up to its billing. The workmanship looks to be very good but I found very little arch support and that the size seems to be smaller than stated. My main complaint though is that the boot leaks badly. I bought it for day hiking and as an occasional lightweight backpacking boot but due to the way it soaks up water I'll only use it around town. I guess I'll go back to wearing Lowa boots.
