Customer Reviews KEEN Targhee II Mid

This is my third pair of Targhee Mids. I have one pair for summer hiking (they are AWESOME) and another for daily wear (I work in academia) that I recently wore out after about 5 years. Of course I bought another pair to replace them! Comfortable out of the box, these waterproof boots are perfect for New England's wet weather. I can't say enough about how amazing these boots are.

These are great shoes: supportive, well-built, waterproof, and good-looking. I have had these for about a month and have taken them on several long hikes, including in the rain. During a hike, I attempted a jump across a stream but missed and dunked my foot in the water. The boots were dry and I stayed warm the entire hike. I do use a more supportive insole with as I the Keen insoles are not quite enough for my high arches. These are the fourth pair of Keens I own, I am very happy with them and plan to buy more in the future!

These shoes rock! Keep my feet warm and dry, even in the pouring rain! They are also great in the snow...keeping your feet warm and dry without the bulk. Comfortable from day 1!

These boots are awesome. I bought the low cut style and liked them so much, I purchased the mid height. Right out of the box, these boots felt like I had worn them for months.

Not sure what I can add to the 300+ reviews before me, but I can say that I love these boots! This is my second pair. I bought these because I was worried that my older pair would wear out and that I wouldn't be able to replace them with a similar pair. Whats so great about these? Comfortable as heck, right out of the box. I wore them around one day, just in case there was a problem, and there were none. Took them on a strenuous but short hike the next day, and they performed beautifully. My six year old pair is still going strong; they just got me up and down Mount Monadnock in somewhat slippery conditions, so if you're concerned about them losing their grippiness, no worries there! I just wish they made a plain black pair!

These are great boots; they're very comfortable, right out of the box! The toe box is big with plenty of wiggle room. Other reviews said the shoes ran small, so I ordered 1/2 size larger. I'm not sure if this was necessary. The bottom line is these are great boots!

Boots were comfortable right out of the box, and I love the roomy space for the toes. Very lightweight, and perfect for the fall weather in the North East. My 3 year old daughter wants a matching pair!!

I would highly recommend these shoes. They are very comfortable. I usually wear a size 6-6.5, but ordered a size 7 and they fit perfectly.

These are more comfortable than my sneakers. And when hiking over slippery rocks, they did a great job keeping me from falling. Love the color, too. I usually wear 7.5 in ladies but had to go up a full size to 8.5. There's room enough to put a cushy Dr. Scholl's gel insert with arch support and room enough to move my toes a little, yet the fit around the heel and ankle is snug enough for support. As long as they keep making these, my husband and I will never buy another boot.

No break in period required. Comfortable from day one. Hiked up mountain trails - some covered with snow.

Awesome boots! I use them mainly for riding my motorcycle but I can wear them anywhere and they are comfortable. Love them! In the past using motorcycle boots, it was always a chore to hike around when we stopped to enjoy the scenery. Now I can climb or hike anywhere in comfort.

I love these boots. They look great, are comfortable, and lightweight. I bought half a size larger than shoe size as recommended by other reviewers and am glad I did. The reviews really helped me decide to buy these boots.

On my second pair of these shoes and find them to be so-so comfortable, durable, sturdy, yet not binding. I highly recommend these Keen shoes.

A good part of my job is hiking the trails. I had purchased Keen Sandals before for kayaking and decided to give their hiking boots a try. They were amazing and comfortable from the minute I stepped into them. I wear them daily and have not one complaint.

These boots were great! I barely had time to wear them around the house before setting off on our vacation and yet, they fit like I had always had them. I'm 6 months pregnant and I even had less back pain while hiking in these boots! I ordered a size up (as recommended) and was happy with my purchase.

After finally figuring out that I have to go up from my normal size 9 to a 10.5 in these in order to not have my toes hits, I pulled my new pair out of the box and went hiking on a slippery hilly trail. The traction was fabulous. I couldn't believe how stable I was on some super slippery hills that had my hubby grabbing for trees. I have a wide forefoot and a narrow heel and these fit me great. I like the mid rise as it keeps my ankles super steady. They look like they'd be heavy to wear but they are amazingly light. Definitely my new fave heavy duty hiking shoe.

I bought these shoes in May '09, and wear them frequently for walking/hiking on rough terrain. I expect these to last a third summer season - they are still very water resistant (no leaks around the toes or sides), they're a little beat up but take it like a pro. I've never owned a more comfortable hiking shoe, even after several miles I never got blisters. I have a fairly narrow foot with a high arch and like hiking with thin socks, so my 6.5 was true to size for me. Since buying these, I keep buying more Keens.

Shoe fits great. I work a landscaping position in all types of weather, and this shoe has proven itself in the wettest April for almost 100 years in western NY. Very comfortable -- no blisters, no nothing. Also, very dry shoe!

I have been wearing Keen shoes and sandals for years. They are comfortable and durable. I do think Keens run short. I wear size 8 in most sandals. I wear 8.5 in Keen shoes and sandals. I ordered a size 9 in these and am pleased with the fit. I will have to see how well they wear and how comfortable they are for extended periods of time.

I wanted to add to my previous review. These boots are in no way cumbersome or winter or even heavy. I live in AZ so summer temps in Sedona can reach 100 degrees and I break out the mesh Merrells. I usually go up 1/2 size in hikers to allow for cushy socks if needed and I did need to.

I wanted to add to my review I wrote previously. These boots are in no way heavy, wintery or cumbersome. I stated that I will probably shelve them till cooler weather but I live in Sedona, AZ. High desert, and temps can reach 100 in the summer so I go for Merrell mesh because of that. These are awesome hikers and they make your feet look small. I go up a 1/2 size for hiking socks if needed and these did.

This is my 1st pair of Keen shoes. I love them. I hike alot and I go thru hikers seasonally. I usualy wear Merrells, but I got these to try and they are great right out of the box, just like Merrells. These are more hardy so as summer draws nearer I will probably go lighter weight but am sure I will break them out for long distances cuz they really work!

Very comfortable; the lacing system is the best ever designed. It holds my foot and it does not slip forward -- and I am an 8 1/2 narrow! However, based on prior reviews, I ordered a 9 and it is perfect.

Great boots! I had a pair similar to these for a few years. They were a little small but these felt great from the first time I wore them. I love Keen shoes and boots. Great for my finicky feet.

Love the shoe thus far! I have only worn twice, but no blisters...yay! I ordered 8.5 and 9, and struggled with the decision on which to keep. I ended up keeping the 1/2 size larger pair, and am glad that I did. Love my Keen sandals too!
