Customer Reviews KEEN Targhee II

I have had at least five pairs of various styles of Keen shoes and boots, and I love them. Having problem feet they are extremely comfortable because of the cushy footbed. I found out early on that I needed to order a half size larger, so instead of a 9 1/2, I now order a 10.

I got this shoe to replace an old pair of Targhee I Keens. This shoe felt stronger, had great support for light to moderate hiking, and is really comfortable as an every-day shoe too.

This is the second pair of Keen Targhee that I have purchased and they are the best walking shoes I have ever owned. The first pair lasted almost two years with almost daily usage. As others noted, I ordered a half size larger and they fit perfectly. Moreover, Zappos continues to provide solid service on delivery and returns that I have had with other shoes purchased.

I ordered these hiking boots for my husband because he loves Keens. They are super comfortable for hiking and also great as an everyday shoe. He loves them and I will definitely order Keens from Zappos again! The shipping was free and they got here the next day. The other reviews said they run a half a size small so because he wears a 10 1/2, I ordered an 11 and it fits perfect! Thank you Zappos!

Great shoe - extremely comfortable, great fit, terrific traction. I have a weak right leg (two back surgeries, atrophied calf, etc.) and really require a strong foundation for walking. This shoe is fantastic at providing that for me.

Great shoe. Very comfortable for walking long distances. Waterproof. Would highly recommend this shoe.

This is a great all around outdoor shoe. I bought my first pair 4 years ago to hike the Kalalau trail in Hawaii. They kept my feet dry in the wet muddy terrain and gave no blisters over the 22 mile hike. I'm now on my third pair and have use them as approach shoes on Rainier, Tetons, Gannett, and countless 14ers and backpack trips. I will likely keep buying them until Keen stops making them.

A great walking shoe. I weigh about 300 pounds, so I'm kind of hard on shoes and very picky. I've had a pair of these already, and I bought them again. I've tried a lot of Keens and these are as good a walking shoe as they make.

Ancient coral reef is hard and sharp. A rough walking surface for any walker and his shoes. Add to that the salt water and coarse sand of the east china sea and you have an idea of what my Keen shoes go through daily. It's not just the natural environment working on my knees and shoes I also walk on concrete and asphalt for several miles each day, usually up hill or down hill. Frequently in shallow water and then on surfaces that are hot to the touch. I live and walk in Okinawa Japan, where the locals wear shields over their faces and completely cover their skin to protect themselves from the hot sun and wind. What do all of these hot, wet, and rough surfaces do to a shoe? It wears them out, fast. I have been through a lot of shoes logging well over 4,000 miles a year walking. I've been wearing Keen shoes for years, they last. I occasionally, at the recommendation of another walker try a different shoe, they don't work. For comfort, durability, stability, and value I haven't found a better shoe than the Keen Targhee II. And there's certainly no better place to get them than Zappos. So, when you get ready for a seriously good shoe and outstanding service, order yourself a pair of Keen shoes from Zappos, you won't regret it. Stan Kemp

Love these hikers. One of the best out there in terms of comfort, lightness, and waterproofing. For longer hiking I would probably go for the mid to gain leverage and keep strain off the fore foot and toes. Recently noticed that Outside Magazine rated them top gear in hikers. Felt a little larger (1/2 size) than marked, but kept them to make room for thicker socks...good luck!

These are best shoes I have worn. For years I was plagued by foot problems - it all ended when I started wearing Keen shoes.

Very good shoes to wear all day long. This is my second pair and expect to continue purchasing this brand.

These shoes are pretty gnarly, in a good way. A little pricey for my budget, but I had some outdoor functions scheduled and needed a good pair of hikers and a friend of mine suggested Keens. I am very happy with them so far.

After trying out several of the new Keen models I was pleasantly surprised by the fit of Keen. Snug in the midfoot, loose in the heel - guarantees no heel friction/blisters! After a few wears, the soles provide nice traction. Waterproofing is excellent for the winter.

They're great. I did buy a 1/2 size bigger per review--glad I did. I had them on in 10 degree weather and snow, I was warm and dry. They are worth the money.

Excellent, comfortable, and waterproof. My foot is picky and while I have some wonderful hiking boots/shoes, I rarely wear them daily. These are too comfortable to deny daily usage. I have high arches and a wide foot, this wins on both accounts. I've tested the waterproof limits and they've succeeded. My one complaint is that the traction is not good. For being a waterproof hiking shoe, that's kind of a big deal. But they're great enough that I just keep that in the back of my head when traveling on iffy terrain.

I have worn the Targheee II for two years, and purchased a pair for best friend and for my son. Results? We love them. Husband has several pairs of Keen Hiker's and will take them on the Appalachian Trail next spring and Zappos is the only place we shop for shoes.

Good, but not the best Keens - I like the Targhee II for walking - I bought them for walking the dog in bad weather. They fit differently than the Keen Bronx that I like so much - I had to go a full size bigger, but they slip a bit if I don't cinch them down pretty tight. I probably haven't broken them in all the way yet, so that may change. They have kept my feet dry, though, so they are doing the job I bought them for. Traction seems pretty good, too, although the sole could be a little softer to improve it further.

the perfect shoe! I love this shoe: hiked in a foot of snow for a couple hours, ran on muddy trails, went to a nice restaurant- and my Keens served me well on all surfaces. They also attract the kind of ladies I like- rugged, cool, educated, and energetic...

Great Shoes! Great Service! Most of the reviews I read about these shoes recommended that you order a size larger than what you typically wear. However, I ordered the larger size and they ended up being a little too big. I called up Zappos, and they set up an advance exchange. My new shoes arrived in no time, and I couldn't be happier. The shoes are extremely comfortable, and Zappos customer service was unbelievably helpful and convenient. Thank you Zappos.

Walk all day - I was looking for a shoe with enough comfort and support that I could walk all day and I found it. I am 61 and have done enough running and hiking over the years that my feet feel their age. This shoe lets me forget the age thing and walk all day. I bought them to have something lighter than a hiking boot for adventuring in Italy this winter and know that they will work just fine.

Keen Targhee II - Top notch shoe that is very well made. I usually wear an 8 1/2 but as others have stated got the 9 instead. Much better fit. Looking forward to using these hiking in Glacier National Park.

Great Shoes! I ordered the same shoe in two different sizes. Both fit each person perfectly. Highly recommended!

Nice shoe - I had knee replacement surgery and these are extremely comfortable and they absorb the shock of walking. Order a 1\2 larger they run a bit small.

Keen Targhee II – nice all around shoe - This shoe is comfortable right out of the box. I have heard that Keen trail shoes do not hold up well – so I will have to wait and see. All other factors make this shoe a winner.
