Great Hiking Shoe with Stability and Grip -
I found it was true to size. My size 8 left just enough space for my toes, with thin socks, to not bump the front. However, overall the shoe felt snug for my slightly wide and thick feet. I swapped my Montrail insoles (just ever slightly thinner and broken in) for the new Keen ones, and the fit was absolutely perfect. The shoes feel very stable and have great traction. Without any insoles, they still actually feel pretty good, except that my ankles rubbed on the side of the shoe a little. So, with the Montrail insoles (the size of insoles matched almost perfectly - both size 8), my feet felt like they had a lot more space to wiggle. I usually don't like thick socks or athletic shoes because my feet get hot easily and feel claustrophobic, so this solution is great because with the thinner insoles the shoe did not feel too snug. Incidentally, if I loosened the laces anymore, the heels would have felt too loose, as other reviewers noted. Lengthwise, I think this shoe is true to size. Widthwise, I think it is a little wider than the average shoe but not quite a "wide" shoe. With the Keen insole that it came with, it felt a little shallow (where my toes would touch the top inside, and the laces dug into the top of my foot a little, with thin socks). I like the look, and the color, although it wouldn't be my first choice, it’s actually not that bad. They look "olive" to me, or like a mossy green, and the fabric tabs like a buff (think foundation) but not quite as much pink as it looks on some websites. I like the "mineral blue" accent (my Montrail insoles were actually the exact same color!). I don't have high arches, so the arch support seems perfect (a little stiff and high actually with the Keen insoles). Overall, I think this is going to be a great shoe for hiking. If you have slightly wider and thicker feet like I do, a pair of slightly thinner insoles should do the trick. I got these mainly because I was looking for a waterproof low hiking shoe that wasn't too stiff, and I think they are the best choice from what I've tried on. Definitely wider and roomier than Merrells with Gore-tex (should come in wide, much less bulkier), and more flexible and comfy than the Solomon’s I tried (very bulky and stiff).

Keen Targhee II -
All I can say is awesome! For foot pain sufferers, Keen is the best. My orthotics do cause some heel slipping in my shoes but I will take that over foot pain any day! Keens give me the support and comfort I need to be pain free after many years and thousands of dollars spent on other shoes.

Love at first wearing!
These are quite possibly the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I was able to wear them immediately for a ten day trip to Disney World with no break in time - and had no issues at all. I bought them for dog walking, but looks like they are going to be worn a whole lot more then that. Definitely order at least a half size up, not for real narrow feet!

Keen Targhee II -
I ordered one night and received the next day! These are probably one of the most comfortable pair of shoes that I have ever owned - as I had read in other reviews, the heel is a bit on the loose side, but this does not affect the actual fit of the shoe. I cannot wait to go hiking in these this summer!

Keen and Zappos: an excellent partnership -
These shoes ROCK. This will be my third pair of Keens and I continue to go to them day after day. I agree with others they you must buy a half size larger as they do run small, but they are a great fit and Zappos is great to allow returns and exchanges so no worries. They are comfy, stylish, and just a joy to wear.

I bought these a year ago for a hike in the Grand Canyon. They didn't require breaking in time. I wear them to work because I am on my feet all day. These shoes are comfy and durable! My other Keens are just as great as these are!

Keens never disappoint -
I'm a nurse that works twelve hour shifts. These shoes are the most comfortable I've found... and they're waterproof. The footbed is a step up even from the Keen Mary Jane style I wear running around town. AND these shoes are so cute... Keens rock!

These hiking boots are great!! They did not even require any "breaking in." I have custom orthotics and I was able to remove the insert that came with the boot and insert my orthotics with no problems.

Must contradict others... Fits my weird foot.
I wear a 5.5 or a 6. These are a 6. I like to say I have duck feet, a narrow heel and wide, wide toes. Toes are comfy, heels don't slip. And incredibly well molded comfortable and attractive shoe, worth the bucks.

Keen Targhee II -
I'm a huge fan of these shoes. I used them to go hiking and walking through the jungle and streets of Guatemala. They have great traction and support. They have also been great during a rough Chicago winter. They are my most comfortable pair of shoes, but do note two things that many other reviews have mentioned: (1) they run a half size small... I ignored other reviews and ordered my normal size, only to exchange them for a half size larger and (2) there is a bit of "heel slippage" at first, but I quickly got used to the wear and now I don't even notice it. Overall - very versatile solid shoe, worth the $ and highly recommended.

Best work shoes I've found -
As a nurse who runs, stands, or walks for 12 hr. shifts, I just haven't found anything to beat these shoes for comfort, stability, and support. Only drawback is they're a little heavy and the waterproofness makes my feet perspire - though not uncomfortably so.

Rugged, durable shoe that goes the distance...
I was originally interested in the Keen Targhee II because I was looking for lightweight trail boots that would withstand the elements. The Targhee II is all that and more. The most comfortable shoe I own, as well as attractive, I bought two pairs. I suggest a half size up than your usual, because the toe box is a bit low.

Keens are great!
I really love my new Keen Targhee IIs - they are comfortable and truly waterproof. I have used them walking around the rainy Bay Area and in the snow and my feet stayed dry and warm. They run about a size small - so I ended up having to buy a 9, even though I always wear an 8 normally - but other than that - I highly recommend them!

More than a hiking shoe -
Here in northern California, we have had rain, rain, and more rain. These shoes have been a real life saver. My feet have stayed warm and dry throughout the season. The traction and well designed features of a hiking and general walking shoe provide the stability needed for all surfaces. I never feel like I might slip or fall. These shoes certainly set the standard for what a hiking, walking shoe should be.

Not for a Narrow Heel -
These shoes look to be a tough, rugged shoe with decent styling. The laces were a little shorter than many of my hiking shoes. I am normally a 9.5, but I ordered the 10. I think these run a little shorter than what I'm used to. The width was fine throughout the shoe EXCEPT FOR THE HEEL. Those with narrow heels will get slipping. I thought I might be able to put an insert in to make them stay put, but that would have meant ordering up one size, which would have made the shoe too wide for the rest of the foot.
If you have narrow heels, pass on these. I should have paid more attention to these comments before ordering, but I didn't. I thought the shoes were very comfortable until I took a step, then the slippage was very apparent. What a shame since these would have otherwise been perfect for me. This is the first pair I've had to return to Zappos.

I bought this shoe in the fall (now Feb.) and have loved it. The heel is a bit loose (but after Dansko I was used to it and didn't think about it. I did need to add orthotic supports (small ones at the shoe store) for comfort. The water proofing and the great sole made for a nice between shoe and boot choice this winter. They can get warm!

I love the look of these shoes. They are very comfortable and waterproof, perfect for Chicago weather! They are also good on the ice. Only problem I had is they feel about a half size smaller than marked. Otherwise, I am completely satisfied!

The extra large toe box has room for my hammer toe. Very comfortable. I have bought many shoes that are fine until I walk miles in them. I can walk long distances without a blister problem in these.

Hats Off to Zappos and Keen!
Very comfortable shoes! These are the third pair of Keens that I own, and I absolutely love them! The color combos are great, and I love the big rubber toe box! They are funky, different, and I have definitely jumped onto the Keen bandwagon of loving their footwear. Be different! Think outside the box! Wear Keens!

Had to return these, although I had been looking forward to a good waterproof hiking shoe. I usually wear 8 or 8.5, so I tried both. 8 was just slightly too short (my toes hit the front a bit), so I bought the 8.5, which gave my toes lots of room. But no matter how tight I tied the laces at the top of the shoe, my heel slipped out when I walked. The heel seems slightly too wide for the rest of the shoe. Having to lace them tight at the top was a problem anyway because I didn't want to lace the shoes tight around my high instep, which just barely had room. Slippery laces, too--they did keep coming untied, as another reviewer mentioned. This is quite a stiff shoe, although not extremely heavy, and it seems well cushioned. I like the elevation provided by the relatively tall, rough, chunky sole, and the look is OK, but why are the women's colors in sportswear always so mediocre compared with the men's? I'm going to order a different waterproof Keen hiking shoe, hoping for better luck. FYI, I have another pair of lace-up Keens, the Presidio, and those are very comfortable and fit me great in a size 8. The sizing of this shoe is slightly different.
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Other Keens, Dansko, Saucony (good for wide feet, with nice snug heels).

Took these on their first hike recently - very comfortable, and cuter than other lightweight hikers.

 |  | I haven't splurged on myself in years! And I went and splurged on some girly high heels. I haven't been outta sneakers or sandals in a good long while! The whole thing was a real treat to me, but it's been awhile… I ordered the wrong size and I called you guys today to exchange. It couldn't have been easier or more pleasant! I wanted you to know I got off the phone grinnin' like I was 18 again. Not only am I getting girly high heels... I love the place I got them from! Had to tell you. Thanks for whatever you do to make it so easy! Take care, Terri |  | ~ Terri, August 20 2008
