Customer Reviews KEEN Targhee II Mid

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).

Rose to the top of the pack - After comparing this to the shorter version as well as the adorable Newport Trail style by Keen and a pair of hiking shoes by Sorel and Timberland, I settled on these. I followed the other reviewer’s recommendations and got size 9 even though I measure a size 8 and usually buy 8.5. They aren't as cute at the Newport Trail style shoe, but have the ankle support of a boot. They felt narrow at first and also bit into the back of my ankle. After walking around for about 1 hour, neither of these bothered me and my feet actually felt better than when I first put them on after a long day of walking around in heels at work.

Perfect for traveling & hiking - These are really great boots, they stay dry in torrential rain, and they are not too bulky so you can wear them casually or in the snow. I used them for mountain hiking for 5 days in a row and never felt uncomfortable, didn't need to wear them in either. Like other Keen boots get 1/2 size up.

Super Service - Just received my new Targhee II's...after ordering them less than 24 hours earlier. I did just like most of the people said. And ordered an 8.5 instead of my usual size 8. I've had them on since I got them to break them in...but really...there is nothing to break in. My feet usually don't do well in new shoes. But so far so good. Can't wait to try them out in the Sierra's.

Great boot! I have very narrow feet and this boot fit me very comfortably. The arch support is great, the boot keeps my feet warm and dry. It was tested biking in Chicago sleet. Feet stayed dry. I'd spend the money for the quality of this boot again in a second!

These shoes rock! I read all the reviews before purchasing this shoe. The looks drew my attention - but the wear is perfect. They feel as good as my Birkenstocks. Perhaps better because they feel safe in hard Chicago winter weather. I got a half size larger and yes...the shoe strings are a little short.
