Customer Reviews KEEN Targhee II Mid

I bought these to go on a winter hike and they worked great! I was in and out of the snow, trampled threw streams, and my feet stayed dry! The tread worked for me, and I went on a 7 mile hike the day after I got them - no breaking in required! The only negative - the top lace tends to slip upward which then loosens the boot. I have ankle issues, so I tend to like my boots tight, so I had to constantly re-lace them. Overall, a great pair of hikers!

Love these boots. I loved my last pair to death so ordered a new pair. Was tempted by the sale on gypsum mid but they are cut higher in the heel which didn't work for me.

I rarely write reviews, but the other reviews were so helpful I decided to submit one. I bought these hiking shoes for hiking in Patagonia a week before leaving. They were amazing and barely needed any break-in time. One day I went on a 20 mile hike and without the boots I'm not sure I would have enjoyed the experience as much. I bought a 1/2 size larger. The toe box area seemed wide at first, but I think this is important for overall comfort even though I have relatively narrow feet. Highly recommend!

I have hiked mountains, canyons, rocky trails, sand hills and more with these boots, and I love them so much I bought a second pair. They're not stout enough for back-packing, but they're great for long day hikes and wet conditions. I replaced the original innersoles for more support, but the fit and lacing system are perfect. They do run small, though. I normally wear a 5 or 5.5, but I had to get a 6.5 to accommodate the mid-weight socks I prefer. I need slightly wide shoes, and these are just right. I had a slight break-in period with my right boot, I soon worked through that.

Love this hiking boot - the blue accents look great with faded jeans. I have a normal width foot with a wide forefoot, and there is plenty of wiggle room for my toes in these boots. Easy to break in - very comfy after a few days. Even the top edge around my ankle was not too stiff. Laces are great - they stayed tied pretty well, and the top hooks have a nice snap that holds them in place, too.

As a diabetic In needed extra ankle and arch support for hiking over mixed terrain. These fit the bill right from the box. Roomy toebox, firm yet flexible support. Excellent winter protection and for the rainy summer season in FL so I use them the whole year. Not a mark on my foot from the first wearing. Glad I got them. Did get a 1/2 size larger and I wear them with boot socks that fit well and wick moisture.

I had to exchange these shoes for a half size larger. Zaqppos were so good about accommodating. I have had much luck and comfort with Keen shoes, so I didn't consider another brand.

Great shoes, comfortable, good support. No need to break-in. Toe box is slightly wider than other shoes tried and this is what I wanted. Room for thicker socks.

I have never bought shoes offline and was wary about doing so. However, this boots are absolutely incredible! I usually wear a 9 or so, but went with a half size up and they fit great with some thick socks. Just a little big if I'm wearing thin socks but the ankle support is fantastic and the boots needed no breaking in. A week after I got them I was out in Colorado hiking Mount Quandry. They felt like I had been hiking in them for years. I needed a waterproof hiking boot and I have finally found one!

I've been searching for a comfortable pair of hiking boots for several years now with no success. Came across the Targhee II and after reading all the great reviews decided to give them a try. At last success. No painful breaking in period as they felt great first time out. I was so excited to finally find a hiking boot that gave my foot some room and my ankles just the right support, I went back and bought two more pair of the exact same style. They feel so good I wear them everywhere now. Thank you Keen!

I love my boots. I recently started to walk trails and wanted a boot that was stable and waterproof that also fits my orthotics. After reading the reviews I decided on the Keen Targhee II Mid. I did go up a half a size as suggested. No return here. Thanks Zappos!

I completed a 22 mile back-packing trip in these shoes, and considered marrying them by the time we were done. Two day trip, 11 miles both days, and by the end of each day I forgot they were on my feet they were that comfortable. Never once did my feet feel sore or uncomfortable. My feet felt like they could breathe and were the right temperature all day. Because I have a wide foot, I thoroughly appreciated the wide toe-box this shoe has. There was also no break-in period. Wore them fresh out of the box, and at the end of the trip had nothing that even resembled a blister or raw spot. At one point I literally had my entire foot submerged in a cold creek, and would have never known if I wasn't looking directly at my foot. Even a little later I had expected that my sock might be at least a little damp, but nope, not even a little, dry as a bone. I echo the other reviews and recommend you purchase a half size up. Overall, this shoe rocked and when the this pair kicks the bucket, I will happily buy another!

I have owned my pair of Keen Targhee II for going on five years - purchased from Zappos - and these boots are absolutely wonderful. I bought them for a few years of outdoor work I would be doing and they held up beautifully. They have been through sun, rain, snow, and sand, and helped me run chainsaws and rescue marine mammals while keeping my feet warm and safe. The wide toe box provides excellent comfort for all day wear, while being extremely well protected with the large rubber outsole that wraps around the toe. They can be laced to the base of the foot or all the way to the ankle, at which point tightening the laces activates the heel support structure that snuggly holds the foot in the shoe. Paired with wool socks, these make the ultimate all-around outdoors boot that also look great with a casual fleece and jeans.

I have had such great experience with Keens in the past that when it can time for some new hiking boots I was thrilled to see they offered boots, and stylish ones at that! The first hike I uses them was on a pretty intense hike over roots, water, rock scrambles and a good elevation gain and they did not let me down once. I was not foot sore at all and the boots gave great ankle support. The only thing I may change is getting an insole with a bit more support but I expected needing that on longer hikes.

I bought these at the last minute, based on the amazing reviews below, and I've got to say - they were everything promised and more! I ordered 1/2 a size up from my usual size, and they fit great - on our 13 hour hike up/down Mt. Fuji, my feet were about the only thing I wasn't complaining about. They provided great ankle and arch support, and the perfect amount of traction. I really can't recommend these boots enough!

Best boot purchase yet! I have "well used" feet, and comfort was a must. These feel wider than an ordinary shoe or boot-I also have wide feet. Good support for the entire foot, and lacing up feels like the boot actually hugs your foot. Feels so good. :) I sat in my living room watching Parks and Recs while wearing. Now I am going to go hikes these bluffs and see how they perform. :) Keep your feet healthy everyone!

Read the reviews and went with a 1/2 size bigger perfect fit when hiking. Takes no time to break them in and love that they are water proof. Totally worth the money!

Awesome boot! I love these from the moment I put them on. I have tiny feet, so I did order true to size. I think that they will be ok as I wear them as they are just so comfortable right off the bat. Love the color and style. Love the locking laces. Highly recommended!

I have issues with ball of foot pain and have learned that I need shoes with good arch support that also allow my toes to spread naturally. These shoes are lightweight and very comfortable! I wear my hiking boots for both hiking and when I do more intense landscaping and I am very happy with these shoes. The only critique is that the top of the shoes do rub against my ankle slightly, but I like the support there and it has not been a problem. It is just something to be aware of when purchasing.

These are great boots. I usually get New Balance since I need a wide shoe. These fit perfectly from the minute I put them on.

Love my new hiking boots. Very comfortable! And the bonus...fast delivery from Zappos! Love it!

My feet have always put up with a cramped studio apartment. Now they spread out in their Keen 2 bedroom! Loads of room. Give them a week for stiff collar to soften. I'm very happy with them.

Followed advide and ordered a half size up. Nice, roomy fit with regular socks, and perfect fit with thick wool hiking socks.

Love, love, love these hiking boots. I wore them around the house for a bit and then walked the dog in them a few times to break them in. Wore them on a hike finally; loved the way they gripped the rocks. Super comfortable. At the suggestions of others, I bought a 1/2 size larger. Glad I did. Great boot!
