Customer Reviews KEEN Targhee II Mid

Hiked 11 miles the first day in these, with great comfort! I don’t have wide feet but when it comes to hiking at mile 7 the little toe needs some room!! These expand out in the toe box perfectly for this need WHEN needed. The next hike, 56 miles in Yosemite over five days...I fell in love with these boots!!! Also saw them on two other gals on the same trail!!!! ?????

I absolutely love these Keen boots and I am very much satisfied with this purchase! I decided to buy these boots for work because I do tons of walking at the hospital and every other shoe that I have bought (Dansko, Alegria, Salomon, Merrell, etc) broke down within half a year! These boots did not need to be broken in, and is so comfortable for all day use. No blisters, no sore feet, and has tremendous amount of shock absorbent, too! I have wide feet, and these boots fit perfectly. I highly recommend these Keen boots!

I am vry pleased with these shoes and I did not get blisters the first time out which was a four hour hike.

Love these boots. Lightweight and sturdy; however, I usually wear a 7 1/2 and these were short and I ordered the 8. I might have been better off with the 8 1/2. Still love them.

Great Hiking Shoe - Great hiking shoe. I read what others' wrote, and ordered a half size larger and it was perfect. I was glad to see that many others were serious hikers and wore the shoes to many outings.

Great hiking shoe - Bought these for a trip to Park City, UT. Kept my feet very warm and dry while trudging through the snow. Wore them with thick/wool socks. Could have used a 1/2 size bigger, but they were comfortable right out from the box.

Perfect hiker - This shoe is perfect for my feet for hiking, but I actually wore it around town for the first few days. I need ankle support for my wobbly ankles that cause me untold back problems, and these do it without being too stiff like most hiking boots. They support on the front and sides, but have a big dip at the Achilles area so they don't rub. They are cute with jeans and I can't wait to take them on a hike in the woods. Also they are lightweight, which is an issue in the hot southern climate. I ordered an 8 to accommodate socks, but usually wear a 7 1/2. I don't understand the size issue with Keens, because they seem true to size.

Great boot! Great boots! This is my third pair of Keens and I love them!! No break in period-did order 1/2 size up to accommodate thicker socks for hiking. Love Zappos!!

Love my boots! I'm wearing them right now! They are comfortable right from the box. I went for a short walk/hike and had no blisters, rubbing or discomfort. I am very picky about my shoes - comfort is very important to me. Sizing was the biggest issue. I've never owned a shoe in size 8.5 (normally 7.5 - 8) so listen to others (and me) and order a bigger size than you think you need.

Keens are great but difficult to size - This hiking shoe is extremely comfortable, easy to use with my orthodics. Maybe a little less ankle support than I would like for snowshoeing. I wear a size 8 shoe and had to go to a size 9.5 in Keens!

Love them boots! I have looked everywhere near me and no stores had any women’s hiking boots. I was apprehensive about ordering online but the free shipping thing kept me interested. Recently I visited a friend and he had these exact boots that I had been looking at Zappos and he said they were super comfortable right out of the box. I ordered them and they were. I absolutely love them. The hardest part was deciding on which color.

Gorgeous boots - The left foot had a bit of a problem at first but I think it's because my left foot is slightly longer than my right. It feels better now after a day or so of slight pain. Beautiful hiking boots though! This color stands out more than the other typical brown/black/camel colored hiking boots out there.

Fantastic boot! I've been looking for a boot for a long time that is so great. It's incredibly light, fits like a dream, gives great support, doesn't look too cloddy, and yet performs like a boot should. Love it!

Satisfaction - I really enjoy my walks with these boots. Their light weight makes them very comfortable. Looking forward to try them in wet snow to check the waterproof feature. I also like the look - so do my friends...

These Keens are just the ticket - I received my Keen Targhees and put them on and immediately went out into the woods on my usual hiking trails. They are absolutely a great hiking boot!! When I encounter roots and uneven terrain they protect my toes and keep my ankles secure. I have had feet problems on and off for years and have to be very careful what I wear on them and these are a big thumbs up. They look cool too. I recommend them highly!! I did order a half size bigger than I usually wear when I read other reviews of these boots, and they were just right.

Thrilled - I am a boot sort of a girl and I get very attached to my well-worn footwear. So I was very pleased when my new Keens arrived and felt like comfy light-weight slippers. They have great support, fit true to size and I'm about to order another pair.

Keen's Targhee Mid II - Love the color (Columbia - wine) and look of the boot. Ordered a half size bigger than I normally wear. Still too small so had to return and order a full size bigger and it just fits.

Great shoe - These are awesome boots. As I have had a broken ankle and have hardware and want something comfortable - these are it. Very comfortable and didn't need to break them in. After getting them I hiked right away and had no rubbing and they felt awesome. Would highly recommend them. Do order a 1/2 size bigger though

so clunky and not comfy too stiff

These are- or, were- indeed the best boots I ever owned. However... First, regarding the original Mid: After 8 mos. of moderate use the toecap on around the left little toe area started to separate from the leather. Surprised only one reviewer on this site mentioned a quality problem. Exchanged for Mid II’s and now I see several reviewers on other sites are having the same problem with the new model. Keen has a fantastic warranty, but of course I don't want to have to use it again. The original Mids were the coolest looking shoes on the block. It seems Keen lightened up the tongue area on the II's, and the overall effect is the kind of pinkish hue you get when you mix the whites and the coloreds in the laundry!

Faulty shoe - I ordered a total of 4 pairs of this shoe and each one was faulty. With the first pair, there was a fold in the insole that made the shoe extremely painful to wear. I tried to flatten it hoping it would smooth into shape, but it was set where it was, so I tried ordering a different pair. This time, I ordered one of the same "mid II" and one of the regular Targhee (no ankle support- both had great reviews). I was very disappointed to receive both pairs with the same problem; both in the left shoe. I called customer service and they were very polite and helpful, they re-ordered the "Mid II" for me with a special note to double check the insole before shipping it, and I returned the other 2. The last pair arrived with the same problem, this time on the right side. Granted, had I kept the others I could have kept one from each box, but it didn't say much for the quality of Keen shoes. I have since bought, and been extremely happy with, my "Merrell Vibram" pair (very comfortable straight out of the box - got caught by a wave and proved that they truly are waterproof! My jeans were soaked and my socks were perfectly dry!). If you are planning to use your own insoles, this shoe might be OK, but it makes me wonder: what else is faulty that I might not be able to feel straight away? I wouldn't recommend Keens to any of my friends. As far as size goes, you'll need to order at least half a size up from your usual. Good luck!

Ordering my third pair of Keen Targee II Mid Waterproof in forever! I never worn them out, but do beat them up over approximately five to seven year period. I've got questionable ankles, so these Mids make the difference I need in any boot environment. Make sure to order 1/2 size larger, I wear a "perfect" 9.0, except in Keens (got to be 9.5). I've always said, if we had a zombie apocalypse, the only boots I need, are my Keens! You might find them a bit heavy, but you'll get used to them. Give them a try, they'll be your best boot ever and you'll be ruined for normal non-Keen footwear! I also own four pairs of their sandals (Newport H2), wear them, shopping, camping, hiking they go anywhere spring and summer. If you're brave enough to pull it off, add socks for fall foot attire, then for late fall, winter, early Spring, move into the Keen Targhee!

I absolutely love these boots. I wear them while hiking and since they're waterproof I actually wore them in the snow. They are very supportive and comfortable. No blisters or aches after 9 hours in them. I will say I would size up a half size. I am normally a 7.5 and felt they were a smidge small. I got an 8 and they fit perfectly.

These have been my favorite hiking boots for over a year now! They are very comfortable even hiking in the woods all day!

Great looking boot! I normally wear an 8 these days, but I ordered up to a 9 because I know Keens run quite small. However, I should have ordered an 8 1/2. They were a bit too big. Sent them back. Think I’ll go back to my favorite Keen Durand. The toe box is nice and wide. It’s a great cold weather boot.
