Customer Reviews KEEN Targhee II Mid

I ordered these shoes for my wife. I have had good luck with Keen Targhees and thought she would also. She loves the shoes, they fit her well, the traction in snow is good and she even likes the colors. As usual great Zappos service

Great hiking boots, comfortable right out of the box. Run about 1 size small. \\\\r\\\\nGreat hiking the hills and in snow. I love them.

I first bought these boots from REI. A sales person suggested a 7 1/2. They felt tight, but he said the boots run large. I usually wear an 8, but I thought he was right. I was in a hurry and took the smaller size. I didn't listen to my feet. After wearing the boots around the house I was in agony. My friend told me to order the size 8 from Zappos. I'm so happy I did! These boots are wonderful! They are waterproof, which is something important to me now that my friend and I are into hiking a lot. Not to mention the ankle support is also a must. I didn't have to break in the boots and we went on a 10 mile hike with no blisters. My feet were very tired! The only one issue I have was the small peeling that is on the rubbery toe area when I kicked a rock while climbing. I'm not sure if the rubber part is going to peel more, but I'm hoping it won't. These are the first pair of Keens so I can't say I've had them for years and years. I do use other insoles, but my feet have always wanted good support there. Another thing I do like are the laces. I don't have to double knot them like my other boots. I'm hoping the 5 star I'm giving will be correct. So far, so good.

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

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!

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.

I read the reviews and bought a half size bigger and well, it is a little too big. But these are very comfortable, terrific hiking shoes, spent a day in the woods with them, and felt great!

Keen Targhee II Mid - If you wear a 6 1/2 normal shoe size, but wear a 7 in a Newport H2, you will need a 7 1/2 if you wear a medium weight sock with this shoe. I ordered the 7 and my toe hit the front edge of the shoe. I ordered the 7 1/2.

I love these boots!! I love these boots. I tried 6 other pair of hiking boots also. These and the Merrill Moab Ventilator were the only ones that were comfortable right away. I decided on the Keens because they were more weather resistant. The first time I wore these, they were even more comfortable at the end of my hike than they were the beginning. Which is really unusual for me, because my feet tend to blister and get sore the first time I wear new shoes. But these feel awesome! I love them!! I've worn them a few times now. Today was able to see if they are really water proof. They are!

Great fit - I wore these for an entire day immediately and they felt great and so did my feet at the end of the day. I took the advice of others and ordered a half size larger than usual. It worked.
