Like walking barefoot - I've had maybe three pairs of shoes in my adult life that were as comfortable as shoelessness; these shoes are on that list. The low-profile heel is fantastic, the elastic closure is just tight enough that my narrow feet don't slip around (but could easily accommodate a wider foot), and the super-soft liner makes socklessness comfy too. At first the leather collar rubbed a little under my anklebones, but that went away within a day, and the shoes haven't needed any other breaking in. Just bought a second pair, because I can already tell I'm going to be heartbroken when the first pair wears out. And, of course, Zappos service is the best I've encountered anywhere on the web.

Outstanding comfort; they don't even need to be broken into like most shoes. The look is good, but would have likes the stitching and insides to be the same color as the shoe.

Comfortable walking shoe - I wanted a non-tennis shoe for walking in the winter and ended up with this new style from Teva. I ordered a size larger because I want to be able to put a thick sock on and because the shoe doesn't come in a wide width. That seems to have worked out perfectly ... with a thick winter sock it is like walking in a bedroom slipper. Very comfortable. It will get a good test next week when I do some long walks in Colorado.

This is my 2nd pair of Targhee II\'s and I can say this, once you start wearing Keen\'s you\'ll never want to wear anything else. Could be tricky to get the size right so try them on in a store but once you know your size, you\'re good to go. Great support but feels like a sneaker. The waterproofing is great and so is overall quality.

The laces must be moved into the top position in order to keep them from cutting off circulation, but once this is done, they fit like a dream. They're very solid and stable feel without extreme weight. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Purchased these for my son who generally wears a 10.5. I ordered his usual size even though several people commented that they ran small. They arrived and were much too big. We exchanged them for a 9.5 which fit and still have plenty of room for super thick socks. The shoes look great - look very well constructed and hope to get lots of wear from them.

The Keen Targhee II shoes are great. I use them for hiking in wet and light snow conditions; they are definitely waterproof! I love the way Keen's fit; they are the most comfortable outdoor shoe I own, This style does run small, as the sizing shart advises. I purchased a half size larger that I normally wear and they fit great.

I just bought this shoe, and love it. I tried other similar Keens and this one had the best fit. The others had a slight heel that felt odd. I bought these to replace my Salomon hiking shoes. The last pair of Salomon hikers I bought never did fit right. The Keen Targhee II fit liked glove on the first try and I never looked back. Too bad as I have been loyal to Salomon since my skiing days going back over 40 years (boots and bindings)!

I bought these shoes for my husband for Christmas. He says these shoes have the best arch support as well as his dress shoes which are also Keens. He said it is like walking on a cloud. I think if he could have he would of slept in them. I am glad I got a 1/2 size larger as recommended by the company and other reviews. My husband has wide feet (usually wears a D in width) but he has had no problems with the width of these shoes. He is a physician is on his feet all day and is also diabetic. He has used shoes in the past with orthotic insets, but he says these shoes far outpast his other shoes. I too wear Keens and I will never wear another make of shoes ever in my life.

Get a half size bigger than your usual shoes, just like they recommend. I've always worn trail style shoes and these are some of the best I've ever worn. Have not tested how water proof they are yet, but am sure they will do fine. The colors are way more generic than the pics show, good for me, maybe not so much for you. One month in and they are sweet, playing disk golf they work well on all surfaces, dirt, grass, concrete, rocks, and a sweet toe bumper very useful. Hope they last as long as my Newport sandals have.

Love this shoe! This is the second pair in this style that I have had. Great shoe for gardening and working outside in any weather. Feet stay dry and comfortable. I added stretchy laces and they are perfect for quick on and off.

These are wonderful shoes! They give great support, and I can wear them all day. They're fabulous on hard, rough terrain or stone.
