Customer Reviews KEEN Targhee II Mid

These boots are fantastic! Warm and comfortable. Lightweight yet durable. Love them. They are far more comfortable than any other pair of shoes in my closet!

Love these boots. Feel like they are broken in from day one. Warm and comfortable! No problem keeping traction and super easy to tie! I love that the top laces can't slip back through and stay tight.

These boots are terrific -- warm and waterproof, just what I needed for this winter. They felt great on right out of the box, no break-in required. The sizing is pretty good, too. I ordered the same size I usually wear in athletic shoes.

I had to buy some serious hiking boots for my work as a documentary filmmaker. I travel to a variety of climates, and I wanted something that would serve multiple purposes. I needed something to protect my ankles, keep my feet dry, and be comfortable even after several hours on my feet. These boots went beyond my expectations. They are actually waterproof, unlike many brands that advertise it. I find them to be more comfortable than sneakers, despite offering pretty good ankle support. I've worn them in thick snow and subzero temperatures, and my feet stayed surprisingly warm. I've had to add ice cleats when it get slick from winter storms, but I think I'd be doing that with any boots. They are a little warm for a summer hike, but they are so comfortable I still choose them over any other footwear. I guess they are about as cute as it gets for hiking boots, which is good because I've been wearing them more than I expected.

Comfortable shoe/boot. Runs smaller than my other Keens (needed a full size bigger in these, not my normal 1/2 bigger in Keens). Toe box is not as wide as my other Keens...looks better, but not as roomy. I walk about 10-15 miles per day for my job and Keens are the only shoes that allow me to be pain free! Crazy fast shipping; ordered 8pm and has them by 11:00 AM the next day!

This is my second pair of these boots, love them! My feet stay warm and dry whether I'm walking on the beach, or backcountry snowshoeing (with gaiters!). They are a little more narrow than I am used to getting with a Keen, but it really doesn't affect how well the boot fits. The tread is a little soft, but for how I use them, it's perfect because it leads to better traction on rocky surface and more impact cushioning on long hikes. I wore the tread off of my first pair, and the new ones are well on their way to a similar fate!

I have had this boot for 3 years and noticed the other day that I wore the soles out to the point that the black outer sole was completely rubbed off in a bunch of spots. So, it was time for a new pair! I ordered the same size I have had, and these boots are slightly longer, but I think that the 1/2 size smaller will jam my toes up to the very end, which I do not want. So I am going to keep these and possibly put a slightly thicker insole in them. These are the best boots I have ever had. I wear them almost all year - fall, spring and all winter for hiking, walking the dogs, and just around town. Very comfortable, very supportive, wide enough for my "Fred Flintstone" feet. Really, they are worth every penny and I will probably be back to get another pair in a lighter color sometime soon. A note on the size: I have 3 other pairs of Keen shoes in a size 8, these boots are a size 8.5. When I took the insoles out of my Keen shoes, they are exactly the same width and length as the insoles from the boots, so the recommendation to buy a 1/2 size bigger seems to hold true.

I love these boots! Fit true to size and absolutely no break-in period!

Comfortable boot, but stiff and requires break in time. Wide toe box so toes can move.

These boot were incredibly comfortable from the start. They also keep my feet toasty warm and dry. I usually wear a 9 1/2 but the 10 fit perfect. One of the things I REALLY liked about these boots...they do not get wider as the shoe size goes up.

Super comfortable, unfortunately I just thought they weren't quite my taste. If I were only going to wear them on camping trips, they'd be perfect. However, I was looking for a shoe that I could wear on my long walk to work and then not be too obtrusive throughout the day, and these are just a little to loud for my taste. In the photo they look like shoes that wouldn't really stick out much, but in real life the black toe part, and the fact that the laces go almost up to your toes, make them not extremely suitable for everyday wear. This review probably doesn't hold for most people's use of these shoes, I just wanted to point out that they are a little more garish in real life than they look in the photo. But absolutely one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I've tried on out of the box!

I love these. They fit great and have very good arch support. They also have very good traction and are warm, which is good for Michigan winter/spring. However, I get hot really easily, so I am a little wary of wearing them on hot day hikes, because they are so warm. Regardless, this purchase is definitely worth every penny.

I had to buy hiking boots for a work trip in Yellowstone where I would be exposed to very cold temperatures for extended periods of time and needed good traction. After trying on many boots and reading reviews, I chose the Keen Targhee II Mid. I should preface this by saying I am not a hiker, and these are my first hiking boots. I had read all the horror stories of uncomfortable hiking boots, and was not looking forward to having some of my own. These were perfect right out of the box. There was no need to break them in. I was surprised how comfortable they were. They are extremely durable, watertight, warm, and breathable. They are a little warm for hiking in warmer climates, but i is worth it for the comfort. I find myself wearing these when I am not hiking, and just want something comfortable. I also thought they were a lot less heavy on your feet than the other hiking boots I tried. All around, a great deal and a great boot.

Great light boot. I have gone through many pairs of low Targhee shoes and wanted to try something different. Surprisingly, it is lighter than the regular Targhee, but with the same amount of support and same traction. Love them and wish they made mid Targhee's for kids.

These shoes are great. Comfortable with no breaking in required. I've purchased them for a trip to Alaska in July 2011, so I have time to get used to them but they've been comfortable from the start. I normally take an 8 but needed a 9 in these.

Love these boots! They are super comfy and offer great foot/arch/ankle support. I wore these a few times to break them in but it wasn't needed. I would recommend these boots to anyone!

I appreciated the wide toe box. I have a bad toe and these shoes enabled me to hike again. They are so comfortable.

This boot was ordered in size 11; when I tried it on, my toes were crunched at the end - definitely was too small... oddly, the same size in other Keens is fine. Returning them ASAP.

These boots are great! I decided on the flintstone color after visiting the keen website which shows the actual colors more clearly. These boots are comfy and I would imagine great for a wider arch. I ordered a half size up as suggested which should be perfect with heavier socks.

Great shoe. Great cushioning. These shoes are an investment. They will surely last a long time. Keen is a well made, fantastic brand.

Great shoe! I got them for winter and put them to the real test after our first snowstorm. I also wore them with wool socks to a very cold football game and my feet stayed quite warm. Comfortable as any other pair of Keens I own.

Just pulled these out for the first time after a snow storm yesterday. Great hiking boots -- sturdy without the weight. Really like the square toe box and the light feel. Highly recommended for an all season boot!

Love them! If I had to keep only one pair of shoes, I would choose my Keens! There is nothing I don't like about them.

Tested of these hikers on my treadmill. That way the shoes stay clean. They will only get better with use. So I kept this pair. Very comfy and warm. Wish the ones on sale were as good.

Most comfortable hiking shoes I've ever had. I have a narrow to normal foot and always thought Keen's were for wide feet but they fit perfect and the extra toe room makes them comfortable all day. I also have the tall Keen rain boots and love them also. They fit true to size on me, I didn't order up as some suggested.
