Customer Reviews KEEN Targhee II Mid

Ran true to size for me. Lots of reviewers said this boot ran small, so I wanted to say that wasn't my experience. I normally wear an 8.5 in a dress shoe and 9 in sneakers and hiking boots of various brands. The 9 fit fine, a little large if anything, even with hiking socks. I bought the Concord color and found it to be a nice shade of brown with a bit of reddishness. The boot is kind of cute and funky looking compared to other hiking boots I own.

I love the Keen Targhee II Mid. They are my second pair. I hike daily in them under different weather conditions and my feet stay dry. I wear an 8 1/2, but I buy a size 9 in the Keens. Also, thank you for having them on my door steps the next day after ordering; that is really cool.

Excellent boots. Comfortable from the first wearing. If they last well, I would certainly buy another pair.

I'll never buy another brand again! After months of searching for good hiking boot, I've found it! Love them! I went on a 13 mile hike the day after I got them; my feet never felt so good! My custom orthotics fit inside perfectly so that was an added bonus. One of the best features to me is the top hooks that 'lock' your laces in place so they don't loosen again while you are making your bow knot. Keens are for me! I find myself wearing them everywhere! Also love the non-marking sole -- sweet! And of course, Zappos has the best customer service around. Merry Xmas to me!

First of all, my first Zappos experience was great. The woman I spoke with was friendly and helpful. Thanks. Secondly, my Keen Targhee II Mid boots are great! I received them on Tuesday and left for a trip to New York, then China the next day. I wore them for the next 10 days through airports, parks, temples, factories, institutes, marketplaces, city streets, and more. We took plane rides, bus rides, Maglev rides, pedicab rides. I walked the Great Wall! My boots were comfortable every day. My feet never got wet despite the pouring rain on several days. I wear a size 8.5 and ordered a 9. The boots just fit with lightweight wool socks.

I just received the Targhee II Mid in the monument/iguana color. I didn't buy these to go hiking. I just need extremely good support and walking any distance at all is my goal. I had foot surgery 8 months ago for a posterior tibialis tendon repair with a tendon transfer. I had a split in my tendon after teaching aerobics for 18 years. I also have extremely flat pronated feet. I have a tear in the tendon in the other foot, as well, and I am trying to avoid more surgery. Well, I have to tell you that I can already tell a huge difference just walking around the house that these shoes are going to change my life! My orthotics fit perfectly inside. My ankles feel supported, and the pain in my feet seems to have vanished! I will need to wear them quite a bit more to be sure, but so far so much better. Ahhh. Relief. I also love the color. They make my feet look smaller.

Like the Keens with my superfeet. Great shoes. My previous hiking shoes, Vasque, did not make the Grand Canyon 26 mile hike. I have yet to really push these shoes, but bought on the reviews.

Excellent for trekking. I wore these shoes for trekking around Switzerland and I cannot stop raving about them. There was no need to break them in; I just threw them on my feet straight from the box. I normally wear a size 6 or 6.5, but purchased these in a 7 since I knew I would be wearing thick, warm socks with them. The 7 was a perfect fit for me. Also, my feet are very flat and it is hard for me to find any comfortable shoes. I would give these shoes 10 stars in comfort if I could. The duration of my trip was mostly in rain or snow, but my feet were always happy, warm, dry and gripped walking surfaces just fine. No need to look elsewhere. Buy these shoes and only buy from Zappos!

Amazing out of box comfort and performance. Pros: Arch Support, Comfortable/No Break-In, Dries Quickly, Durable, Great Traction, Shock-Absorbent, Stabilizes Foot. Cons: None. Best uses: All Weather Conditions, Grass, Mixed Terrain, Muddy Conditions, Rocky/Unstable Terrain. Comments about Keen Targhee II Mid Hiking Boots - Women's: Just got back from the Alps where I hiked the Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB) 107 mile Mountain trail wearing my Keen Targhee II Mids every step of the way. These boots were so comfortable and all around able in every aspect that one summarizing word kept coming to mind when thinking about the shoes performance - fantastic! Immediately comfortable, I wore these boots for a total of about ten miles of hiking prior to putting foot to the trail on the TMB with full confidence that the product would take care of me without biting back. That is, no blisters. Confidence rewarded, neither I nor my hiking companion who was also wearing Targhee II's had one blister during the entire seriously descending and ascending trail. The waterproof capabilities of the shoe were better than any other boot I've ever worn. That is, no soak through when passing through dewy grass and no water penetration when crossing shallow stream beds. Water ran over the top of my forefoot resulting in no water inside the shoe. Very nice! I wore Smartwool PhD lt. hiking socks for the majority of the trip and the shoe/sock paring was great. As has become my practice on long-distance hiking outings, when I stop for a rest, snack or simply to take in a stunning view, I take off my shoes and socks to let my feet and footwear breathe and dry out a bit before continuing. When doing so I did find that my shoes and socks were wet with perspiration, but my feet never felt any negative effects from this. With hundreds of mountain backpacking miles on my feet, I highly recommend this method of removing your hiking boots as described previously. Like others have described, I did move up one half size to fit this boot well. The shoes grip well on all terrain and the larger toe bumper offers nice protection on the trail. The shoelaces were just the right length and I appreciated that the type of shoelace Keen used stayed tightly tied for each day's hike. The shoes show less-than-average wear for the miles and type of terrain crossed. Highly recommend this boot.
