Customer Reviews KEEN Targhee II Mid

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.

Better than expected - I think they look pretty cool. I’m pretty happy to wear them just about all the time, although they are a little bit difficult to get on/off quickly. It took me 3 pairs to find the right size. I usually wear a size 7.5-8, and I ended up getting a size 8.5 since I bought these primarily for winter day hiking with heavy socks. Now that I have the right size, they fit me perfectly- except for the ankle, which I’m not sure if it is just that I have never worn ankle boots before. They have good support and are nice and wide in the toe bed which is usually a problem for me. I would definitely recommend these boots to anyone who wants a cool boot that is functional as well

Exceeds Expectations - BELIEVE the reviews that say this shoe runs small. I wear 9.5 in dress/casual shoes but a 10 in athletic shoes and I had to get this boot in a 10.5. That is where Zappos saves the day...not many retailers stock that size in multiples. As for comfort...I have even begun wearing these guys around the house because I am so in love with the all-around support. The laces stay tied without a double knot, too. I haven't put them to work on a trail, yet, but I don't anticipate any problems. They felt great during my recent city hiking in San Francisco and along the rocky shores of Northern California. They are not listed in the waterproof shoe pages but waterproofing is listed on the product description...I'm not sure how well these are intended to do in snowy/icy conditions, but I don't have many opportunities to put them through that kind of test. As always, Keens are comfortable right out of the box.

Keens Targhee II Mid - Great boot! Looks good... Feels good. Felt comfortable from day one, very little break in. The nicest boot I have ever owned. I normally wear between a 7 and 7-1/2; I needed an 8 in this. I love these boots!

Nice little boot - I went by the suggestions to order a 1/2 size smaller than my "usual" size, so I ordered an 8.5. According to the folks at Roadrunner, my feet are a 7 and a 7.5 with a narrow heel. I also wear orthotics for arch support. The insole of this boot was the exact same size of my orthotic, a 9B in most women's athletic shoes. I wear them w/o their insole, with just my orthotic. These feel good on my feet. I plan to wear them for light hiking and working around the garden with a fairly lightweight sock. They seem to have plenty of toe room and don't rub on my heel, one of my common problems. I didn't break them in, just wore them around, since they seemed to be the correct size. I'm very happy with them!

Best shoes ever - I love this shoe! Originally bought for a trip to Germany in the winter, I now wear them all the time. They are surprisingly cute for hiking boots, and soft but supportive. Being susceptible to cold, I really like the way they keep my feet warm, even without wool socks. Sometimes I use them like slippers, they're that comfortable. I bought a half-size larger than usual to accommodate thick socks which works well.

Great Hiking shoe. Comfortable, keeps feet dry in wet and muddy conditions. Great support even on rocky terrain. I usually have a hard time finding shoes to fit, as I take a small size (5). However, I took the advise of others and ordered a 1/2 size larger. The boots fit great.

Stylish and Functional - Fantastic shoe, but order a ½ size up. I own three other pairs of Keens, all in the same size, but had to go up a half-size in this one. It’s water-resistant and comfy.

The best and the most comfortable Hiking boots! I'm a very active 46 years young mother. Love hiking, gym and much more. I’m just going to say that the Keen Hiking Boots are one of the most comfortable shoes. Great looking, light and perfect colors. Thanks Keen. Maria

Great slipper, I love them. I received them as a gift from my husband. I wear them whenever I am at home and even sometimes when I go to the market or on a short shopping trip. They feel especially comfortable after taking a shower and when I put them on after work. The only problem is my husband likes to wear them. To solve that problem I bought him a pair, one size larger. I realize they are listed as women's slippers. However, my husband they fit him very well. Now we both enjoy these slippers.

Review of Targhee II Mid - I am a meter reader, and I walk 40 to 60 miles per week. We were required to change our footwear to ankle shoes. I already had the shoe version of this ankle shoe, and I loved it, and since I knew how it fit...I just ordered on-line. These shoes have a very comfortable feel: the inside padding is very cushion-y, the fit of the shoe is not binding, but a looser fit(which I love)and the soles are good in all terrain, which I am subjected to each day. I told my coworkers about them...because I think they are excellent quality. Before this, I never bought shoes this expensive, but it is well worth it.

They fit my wide feet - I love Keen shoes. Since I discovered them I wear almost no other shoes. I am a teacher and am on my feet for hours each day. I am traveling to Uzbekistan during my Christmas break, and wanted a pair of boots for that, but I wanted boots that I would wear everyday at home. I ordered the Targhee II Mid boots knowing I could send them back if they were not comfortable. I tried them on. Then I put my big wooly socks on and wore them for the next two days at school and at home and all day and evening. I was worried about my wide feet, but even with the heavy-weight wool socks, they were wonderful. I didn't even take them off when I got home from work. I think they will be just fine half-way around the world.

I love Keen! Keen shoes make my feet happy. I have had several pairs of flip flops and sandals, but these are my first Keen boots. I literally took them out of the box and hiked a gorge right away. There was no blistering and very very little break in. I have a tendency for plantar fasciitis, but these are supportive and gave me no indication of pain or inflammation. I did go up one half size for a better fit with hiking socks and they are a great fit. Very happy with Keen, as usual!

Great vacation boots! Tramped all over Jackson Hole, WY, the Tetons, and Yellowstone in these and they were great! I didn't do any hard-core mountain climbing, just tourist hiking and lots of walking, but they are very comfortable and supportive. I even went C&W dancing (not recommended) ;>) in them.

Comfort Immediately - I typically have trouble with my feet but these hiking boots were comfortable immediately and needed no break-in time. The support is sufficient enough so I do not have to use my orthotics with them. A great shoe!!! I recommend it highly. I did need to buy a 1/2 size larger.

Targhee II Mid - Great shoe. Wore these hiking in the mountains, no break in time. Very sturdy, surefooted boot.

Love my new Keens, and Love Zappos! I bought the Keen Targhee II Mid YESTERDAY late afternoon after 5 p.m. MT, and selected overnight shipping (expecting a Friday arrival since I ordered them so late). Surprise! They arrived around noon today, which was a major bonus since I am on my vacation and had packed inappropriately. I basically got an extra day of hiking in thanks to Zappos. I love the boots. They are very lightweight and incredibly sturdy...exactly what I needed for my weak ankles on rocky trails. Yes, I tested them as soon as I took them out of the box. I got the "concord" color, and they are very cute too with jeans. All around perfect woman's hiking boot...functional, lightweight and stylish. WRT sizing: I was fortunate enough to try on the low-ankle version of this locally. I normally wear a 7.5 (flats and heels) to 8 (sneakers and Sorrels), and was very surprised that I needed an 8.5 in the Keen. So definitely size up least .5 from normal.

Great hiking boot! This is the best hiking boot I ever purchased! No break in period at all. I wear a 5 and after reading the reviews to go up half size, I did not listen (in the past I have done that and they would end up being too big) BUT the reviews were right on target! I wore them once for a day hike and the overall fit was perfect, great grip and traction control on the boulders, lightweight, great arch support, it's like they were made for my feet! But my toes were still hitting the front of my shoe making it a bit uncomfortable. I ordered these shoes specifically for my Mt Whitney trip in a few weeks and knew that if I kept them I would be miserable. I returned them and got a 5 1/2 and just got them in one day! They fit PERFECT! The customer service reps were awesome and made the whole process SO EASY! I didn't have to wait for them to receive the shoes in order to get my new ones shipped out. That was fantastic! Overall I was very pleased w/ my experience and I LOVE my KEENS! Mt Whitney here I come!

I LOVE THIS SHOE! Wow...this shoe rocks!!! I couldn't believe how great these shoes are. They feel WONDERFUL on my feet. I wore them this weekend for 3 days of hiking on Mt Hood. Walking on rocky terrain was not a problem whatsoever. My feet were sooo comfortable. Great, Great she! Highly recommended.

Best hiking boot ever! I bought these because of great recommendations on this site! I was not disappointed. I went hiking with my new outdoorsman, boyfriend on the Blue Ridge parkway. My feet never hurt a bit. They are perfect for comfort, support, grip, etc. They couldn't be better! (I did buy an 8 and normally I wear a 7). Thanks for great advice.

Keen Targhee II Mid - I find it difficult to wear anything else after wearing the Keen Targhee II Mid. Comfortable in everyway - cushioned and supportive. Size up a half size as other reviewers have suggested. I can, and have, walked for hours in these boots, with no difficulty - and my feet and joints are fussy. I only wish they were a tad less funky looking... I highly recommend this boot (and Zappos).
