Customer Reviews KEEN Targhee II Mid

I ordered a half size up, and I'm glad I did. These shoes were amazing for a long steep hiking trip with lots of rocky descents.

I love this shoe! Thank goodness there is a walking shoe available for women with a wide toe box - this is a real life saver (helping with metatarsal nerve damage from previous narrow toed shoes :( !)

These boots have a great foot bed. I have major foot issues and need real support. These have it. The first day I hiked in them my arches ached a bit because the insoles were a bit higher in the arches than I am used to, but after that they felt great. I love the weight and comfort. My feet are very happy in these great boots even after hiking 10 miles in a day in strenuous conditions.

I ordered this and the Keen Koven Mid WP. This is the more substantial of the two boots. It felt more padded and had better support for arch and ankle, but still has plenty of room in the toe box. I decided to keep this one. Koven might be better if you like a lighter feel and don't need the support. I usually wear either a 7.5 or 8. I ordered the 8 because I will wear it with thick socks.

Good boots, fit me well. I had a problem with my arches after I used these boots but it was because of the orthotics I put in not the boot. Love Keens!

I always like Keen, great support and true to size fit. Large toe box makes them extra comfy, even with bulky socks. Nice color combination.

I am a Keen believer! I own many different style keen shoes and hikers. My wonderful dog ate the tongue on my old hikers so I needed a new pair. The color is a bit flashy, but the shoe is great! I highly recommend this style of hiker to all!

As a dedicated beach bum living on the beach facing a hiking trip I was not sure what to expect from hiking shoes. These shoes are a pleasant, comfortable, cool looking surprise. Won't take the place of my flip flops but will serve me well in the mountains.

I bought these 6 months ago in the Olive/Slate Rose and I love them. They are comfy, warm, dry, light weight, all you could ask for. They have held up well and I wear them almost daily. I bought a 39.5 since other reviewers said these run small, and the 39.5 was right for me (I usually wear 39). Oddly, I just ordered these in the new color Mineral Blue/Ceylon Yellow (which is a GREAT color) and the 39.5 is too big!! I tried lacing them up tightly but still my heel moves up and down. I put my old ones on and they fit perfectly; these are definitely larger than the other color I ordered 6 months ago. I have just placed an exchange for a size 39 and will report back.

These are my favorite hiking boots. I usually wear a size 9 or 9.5 in dress shoes and I bought these in a 10.5 for the extra room. (Probably could have done a size 10 but if I wear them in the summer, my feet swell so I like the extra room.) This is my third pair of Targhee II Mid boots and they hold up really well. I've hiked the Appalachian Trail in these (southern portions and up in NH/Maine) and they delivered - waterproof, good traction, so comfortable, extra space in the toe box, great lacing system. Keen also has great customer service. If you have a wider foot or want more wiggle room in the toes, this is the boot for you.

Got these based on the number of reviews and the high marks and it delivered! No breaking in - great support. Love. Definitely order a half size up just like everyone else says. The only think I wish Keen did was offer these in black or grey for women (hence the 4 stars for style).

I have older boots and they are 1 size larger than I usually get to compensate for the smaller size of this brand. I thought that because my boots were older that that is why I was slipping on ice. These boots are wonderful in cold weather but not on ice. I still like the overall fit. Please do something about the slippery when wet factor.

These boots continue to keep my feet dry and toasty! I got them last winter and love the comfort and traction. They fit my orthotics very well, don't even know they're in there!

I have plantar fasciitis so need solid arch support. I purchased these based on a customer review that said they have good arch support. I was very disappointed to learn that they have essentially NO arch support. That said, they fit well, and since I have to use special sole inserts in any event, I kept them. My first day out I walked 5 miles in them without any issues at all. They have held up through daily winter walks and have great traction on snow and ice.

Love these shoes. This is my second pair. I wore the last ones pretty constantly, especially on hikes and throughout the winter as my main snow boot -- lasted me 4 years. I put on this new pair and they felt great from the first moment. I have a very wide toebox, high arch and very narrow heel -- hard to find shoes that fit. Finally I found these Keens -- no orthopedics or inserts of any kind needed. They do run very wide, which is great for me. I think all Keens run pretty wide. May be too wide for a more typical women's foot.

I bought these boots for an all seasons multi-purpose use and they fit all aspects of what I wanted in a shoe: 1) ankle and arch support -- check 2) waterproof and gripping soles -- check 3) keeps feet warm but doesn't sweat stink your feet out -- check. And of course we get Keens because we love the toe protection! I wore these boots in the sand in 80 degree weather and in the snow in single digit weather with thick wool hiking socks -- boots were awesome! The key is to keep the shoes tied tight to prevent rubbing which then results in blisters (only got blisters once because I wore really cheap synthetic socks. Another trick is to double knot the laces. Wore these boots to hike, to horseback ride, and to walk around the city. Comfy! Buy! I bought these in both a size 8 and an 8.5 -- I stuck with my regular Keen size of 8 (aka my regular shoe size).

Comfy, decent-looking. Good hiking boots with good ankle support. They have removable insoles so custom orthotics are an option with this shoe.

Best boot ever! I ordered these for my "gentle" hiking but I end up wearing them several days a week just for comfort. They are so comfortable! I even prefer to wear them instead of my Mizunos during the cold weather. I have bad feet and wasn't sure if I would be able to tolerate these boots but they feel great all day!

Following other reviews I ordered a whole size up to a 10. I think I could have gone with a 9.5 but the 10 is still fine. Initially they hurt my ankles but after wearing them for a couple of weeks they feel fine. Definitely keep my feet clean and dry.

These are my first pair of hiking boots. They are very stable and comfortable. I have a wide foot and these boots are a little snug, but not as bad as other companies. Overall a good boot. If you have a wide foot and are a serious hiker, you may want to try another style. I don't hike much so I got them even though they are a little snug. They also run a half size small. I am normally a 7 1/2, but had to go up to an 8. Make sure you order a half size up.

I love these boots! Unlike other reviewers, I did not need to size up. I did order a half size up per reviews, but the 7.5 was too big, even with extra heavy socks. Zappos was fantastic about making the exchange to a 7 which I received within 24 hours. The 7 fits my size 7 foot perfectly. This boot has an unusually wide toe box, so there is plant of space. It is also the most comfortable out of the box hiking shoe I have ever worn. I considered the Merrel, but am so happy that I went with the Keen.

Love these boots! I live in Keens anyway but these are the most ambitious hikers I've purchased. They're very lightweight and the ankle support is great.

Unlike many other posters, I did not have to order a size up. I think this is because I have wide feet and I usually wear a too-large shoe so as to get adequate toe room. With the Keen brand (as well as my beloved Birkenstocks) there is plenty of width, so I take a smaller size, or my proper size, as the case may be. This is my second pair of Targhee Mid boots. I wore my first pair nearly every day for five or six years. They held up well, although the waterproof-ness wore off a long time ago. I was happy to see Keen has changed the design very little. Still comfortable right out of the box!

I was super hesitant it buy these only because I knew I would have minimal break in time before a 4 day back packing trip. I have high arches and occasional plantar fasciitis. These boots were awesome. No issues whatsoever. These were a pleasure to put on every morning and super light for hiking. Looking forward to future hikes. I did buy 1/2 size up from my normal Keen size due to previous reviews and they were perfect fit.
