GET THESE SHOES AND THROW THE REST OF YOUR SHOES AWAY - I have the Bronx. Brooklyn, Newport & the Banff. I wanted a full season hiking shoe and the Targhee fits the description. Great look with the excellent Keen comfort and support...

great shoe - runs small - We bought these sandals for our father who really likes to ride his new Wet Bike a lot. The place where he docks it is really in the woods and these shoes make the transition from water to woods to car well. They did run small, my father takes a 13 usually but in these he took a 15 to give room for socks.

My favorite Keen so far - I have 2 sets of Keen sandals (Jamestown and Newport), a pair of Bronx, and now the Targhees. These shoes rule! Keen comfort and durability. Very lightweight but flexible. A little on the warm side (but it's still summer here) and a little tighter than my other Keens (I always get size 9 US). Will be great shoes for hiking and biking, ready to test out the waterproof-ness. Nice reflectable stripes for nightwear. Keens are the best shoes available!

Don't Assume You Need a Half Size Larger - First, this is my third pair of Keen's. My favorite pair has been the Taos. That's why I decided upon the Targhee as a warmer walking shoe, since it resembles the Taos style. I walk about 5 miles per day. I just got my Targhee's and did my 5 mile walk. These feel as good as my Taos on the road, just out of the box. They are warmer and heavier, but provide better foot protection. Many have said to get a size larger. I usually get a size 9, but my foot is really a size 8.75 (if they existed). Meaning, a size 9 may or may not have a little extra space for my foot. These shoes fit perfectly. I would say they are really an 8.75 size. If you normally are tight in size 9 shoes, you will want to go up a half size. I use to buy 8.5 shoes and hope they worked. Error on the side of extra space is better for your feet. Another outstanding feature of this shoe is the insole. I normally replace the factory insoles with a high quality one (Superfeet, SOL, etc). When I removed the insole to replace it, I noticed the factory insoles are High Quality (possibly made by SOL). These are as good as any $30 insole you might buy. Provides plenty of cushion and arch support. Feels like a good hiking shoe. I might add that they appear better than the picture.

Satisfied - I own 6 pairs of Keens and the Targhee is very well made and comfortable. I look forward to using it on the trail.

Keen a reliable comfortable shoe- I bought this shoe for my husband and he loves it! We own a pair of Keen sandals and boots and this shoe does not let us down! I can't wait for more shoes from Keen.

Great Shoe- This shoe is great! Very light-weight. Good for outdoor walking/hiking. I've had this shoe for a short time now, but it does also seem pretty waterproof. From the looks I thought this shoe would be a little clunky, but that's not the case. It moves well with you at any speed. The tread is also designed well. No small grooves to collect mud!

The new benchmark- Keen Targhee has set the benchmark for this type of shoe. All the "trail shoe" companies have attempted what Keen has nearly perfected. For extra heel lock, cross the laces through the tongue loop, thread each lace under the heel-strap loops- to lock behind the leather loop anchor. You can snug heel well with this lace configuration. I hope this instruction is understood. Hopefully Keen will continue to improve this model, i.e. additional lace options.

200+ Mile Shoes- I hiked the entire John Muir Trail last summer in these shoes- 222 miles in two weeks, averaging 15 miles a day. The terrain is rugged, to put it mildly, with long climbs and long steep descents. I got these shoes at the last minute and pretty much wore them on the trip right from the box. I knew my other Keens fit my foot- especially the large toe box- which is normally a problem area for me. The shoes did very well. My only complaint was they could use a little more cushioning in the ball of the foot- but I did put them to a pretty extreme test, which they were not intended for. The soles were wonderful- providing great traction over rocks, sand and mud, with a little snow thrown in. I was carrying a 30-40 lb pack the whole time, which probably added to the cushioning issue. Overall, they did a great job, and they are still going strong.

THINK A SIZE LARGER- Folks, what you have read is true. I am a size 9.5, and after ordering a size 9.5 and FORCING my foot into them, I ended up with a bruised foot after just walking around the house for 10 minutes. Once I ordered a size 10.5, all was well. These are great, rugged shoes that MUST be ordered 1/2 to a full size larger than you normally wear.

Brands I'd also recommend: RAICHLE, if you can FIND them, TIMBERLAND.

Wow! This is a nice step-up for Keen. I was not interested in the sandal-like shoes that are so popular and this model fits the bill for what I was looking for. This is my 2nd pair of Keen Shoes and will not be my last.

Sturdy shoe- This shoe is pretty sturdy, and sheds water and mud like crazy. The sole is aggressive and gets good traction. Not really a running shoe, but more of a scrambling shoe. Very grippy. They are not quite as comfortable as my Keen sandals; they push in on the top of my feet just behind the toes. When I ordered, I did the usual Keen size thing, asking for a size 1/2 size bigger than normal. But I had to return and go up one more 1/2 size. Zappos handled the change no sweat, and got my new shoes to me in 48 hours.

Much narrower- If you buy Keens because they're wide, should probably think twice before ordering these. I wear an 11 in the traditional Keen Foot Print but these were much too narrow. They fit length-wise just fine.

Keen Targhee - My second pair of Keen's...what can I say? The shoe runs about 1/2 size smaller than my Taos, so got to use the free return shipping-great-still got my shoes in about a week. Zappos made it very easy to return. Targhees are warm, seem quite waterproof and very, very comfortable. Perfect for light snow - great traction!! I hope Santa brings some Keens!!!

OH NO! What happened? Ok, I own 2 pr of the Newport H2s, and one of the Providence clogs. Perfect, all way around. I couldn't wait to try out my Targhees... OUCH! I couldn't squeeze my foot into them if I had 3 shoehorns to help! SO SO narrow!! Have to return. I think the foot last they used to plan these got to close to the furnace & SHRANK!

My New Favorite Shoes- Extremely comfortable, as all Keens, these are better-looking than most of their offerings. They'll look great from the streets to snowy (they're waterproof) trails, and keep your feet happy all day. The toe-box, again like all Keens, is quite wide, but this brand seems to run a little small in the length, so you may want to order up. I have now four pair of Keens, they're just sooo comfortable. I'm waiting for something a bit dressier that I can wear to work, but I fear that wait may be long!

Brands I'd also recommend: None. Nothing beats these for comfort.

Another winner from Keen - Have had a couple pair of the sandals, and decided to try their winter shoe. Not as comfortable as their sandal - but probably expected since this is a true winter (waterproof) shoe. A bit stiff on the first couple of lace ups, but loosens up as expected. Only regret is that the lacing system is different than the sandals - you end up with regular long tie laces versus the cinch locking device found on the sandals. Minor gripe - otherwise very happy. Some advice about small to size, so I ordered 1/2 size bigger - could have gone with my normal size, but the 1/2 size is fine with a bit thicker sock.
