These shoes are very comfy and sturdy and required no break-in period. However, I don't find them nearly as attractive as most other Keens, and I'd definitely stay away from the Walnut color; for some reason, the reddish leather looks worn out after only a week of wear. They look like a pair of old shoes already, which is a bummer. I spend very frugally and have to make shoes last, so paying this much for shoes that look like they've already been around the block for a year or two is mildly depressing. The shoe itself is great though, just consider a different color. I bet the others hold up better.

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!

I took this boot out of the box and wore it immediately on a 30 mile backpacking trip in Yosemite National Park. They were comfortable, didn\'t over heat my feet and provided the support my feet needed over the rough terrain found on Rock Slide trail.

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!

These hiking boots are great. I haven't owned them long, but I have hard to fit feet and these have the extra room in the toe box that I need. I had to order a size up in American numbering (10.5 v 9.5), but the European sizing (41) was true to size (as it always seems to be). Love 'em!

I ordered my Keen Targhee II Mid hiking boots based on reviews I read. It was my first time to order from Zappos and I was delighted! The fit is perfect. These are so comfortable, I could wear them all day long! Shipping was very fast and I received my package a few days early. I love Zappos and will continue to shop as I love shoes! Thanks for the great customer service!

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!

These boots were comfortable right out of the box. I ordered a size 11, since most reviewers suggested ordering up. I normally wear a 10, but the 11 is just right for my feet. The toe box is roomy, and the support is good. I went on a 3 mile hike the first time I wore them, with no discomfort. I highly recommend them for people who have trouble finding shoes that fit properly.

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.

Consistent with other reviewers - no break in period needed! These were completely comfortable out of the box. I got a full size larger than I normally wear and they fit great. My only complaint was that the included laces were pretty short. People with arthritis or carpal tunnel might want to invest in longer laces to make tying easier.

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.

I wore these on 4-day Inca Trail hike in Peru. Did not have one problem with my feet the entire time. And only wore them a few times to break them in prior to the trip. Very, very comfortable. Bought a 1/2 size larger. Highly recommend!

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.

I've worn Keen shoes for years because I love their roomy toe boxes and how well they accommodate my high arches. When I needed waterproof boots for a hiking trip I ordered a pair of Targhee IIs believing they would fit like the rest of my Keens. Not so! Everything about these boots was too narrow and too low. I exchanged them for a larger pair but they were merely longer, not wider or higher. I finally had to go with a men's boot to get that familiar, oh-so-comfy Keen fit. If you're used to wearing old school women's Keens, these boots may not work for you.

I can't say I look at these shoes and think "they're so cute!" but most of the reviews I've read did say they were comfortable. So I ordered a pair. I usually wear an 8.5 (New Balance and Merrells) but in these I ordered up a half size and my toes touched the end of the shoe which I wasn't going to endure so I went to a 9.5 and they fit. For me the Targhee with the extra stuff in the shoe to make it waterproof also made it smaller-as I have since bought the Keen voyageur and it is plenty big in a size 9. I will say for traction this is the BEST shoe I've ever worn. Walking up steep mtn slopes on wet grass and loose rocky soil. I've always bought shoes with toe bumpers which on other brands came unglued. I haven't had these Keen's long enough to report on that. This will be the only shoe I buy from now on and my toes are very happy about that.

My first pair of Keens. Does run .5 size small, but I knew this so mine fit perfectly. Definitely waterproof over the toe. They broke in fairly quickly and have a strong sole. Good height for someone who wants higher than a sneaker, but not too tall. I’m a big fan.

Keen shoes are the BEST if you're doing any traveling or outdoorsy stuff. I bought a pair of these 2 years ago, and I wore them on our 17 mile Yosemite Half Dome hike. Pretty brutal hike that REQUIRES you to have good shoes. All I can say is at 16.5 miles, thank goodness the only thing that didn't hurt were my feet. Unfortunately, I lost the first pair that I wore on the hike, so I bought these. I can honestly vouch for these shoes b/c the first pair I had that I wore on the hike were kind of snug, and I had no choice to wear them b/c they didn’t have my size anywhere. This new pair I bought a half size bigger. But considering they didn't fit me perfectly the first time, and it survived me through that ordeal...don't see how you can go wrong with these shoes.
