This is a replacement of a very similar model from Keen. The previous shoe was a 9, but this is half a size smaller. Returning for a 9.5.

I've worn many Keens in 11 1/2 that fit well. These are too narrow, too short , and too cramped up front. Zappos service so good! Wish that I didn't have o return these.

I have owned two pairs of Targhee IIs and have worn them out. My last pair lasted a good year and then the bottom started coming off in different places. I do a lot of hiking and photography and these things work perfectly, keeping my feet dry with great traction. Maybe they could use stronger glue on the rubber! They work great in the mud, too! I wear them to work in the wet grass and my feet stay dry. Overall these are good shoes.

Just received my new Keens today and they feel as amazingly comfortable as all my past ones have. I would easily give these five stars but just like a lot of the other post have mentioned, the color is way off from the photo. I had my heart set on some very dark shoes. Around the shade of charcoal grey to black. These shoes, unlike the photo, are actually only a little darker than the straps that hold the shoe laces which is completely hard to believe. Don't waste your time if you are wanting a dark shoe but do get them if you don't care and just prefer design and a very comfortable shoe. Keen or Zappos, please resubmit a true to color shoe.

There are a nice shoe. I like the design because the toe is wider than most...but the overall fit is not too wide. They have sort of a square toe design that for me makes them very comfortable.

I have always been a Merrell guy, but lots of people have told me that Keen's are really comfortable. I ordered these from Zappos, and while they are really comfortable, they just don't fit my foot. I am a 15 wide, and these seemed wide enough, but my heel just kept slipping out when I walked. I wish it fit well, because it seemed very comfortable. Thank goodness for Zappos great return policy!

This is a great shoe, very comfortable. The only weird thing is that there is a sort of webbing attaching the tongue to the rest of the shoe and once it comes out it doesn't seem to have a place to go back. This makes the tongue bulge out a little and it a little looks odd. Pretty minor and I'd still recommend these.

I really liked this shoe. However, when I purchased it, I was looking for a winter boot. This is made really well, but since it isn't insulated, it doesn't keep your feet warm. However, the shoe is really well made. Like all Keen shoes, it's got great traction and the added toe support is really nice. The footbed support is superb and definitely feels natural. The shoe is pretty light for its construction. The lacing system (and the laces) is really great, making tying very quick and secure. The waterproofing is really nice, and the gusseted tongue keeps debris out. I liked the styling of the shoe. It might be a little 'trailish' in pictures, but in person it really looks nice. I recommend the darker colors personally. I also always liked the way Keen soles look. I definitely recommend this shoe to anyone who needs a great waterproof shoe. It just isn't the best for cold weather since it is not insulated. It's got great support, traction, comfort, and features.

This is a very nice shoe and very comfortable, though it does fit 1/2 size smaller than my usual size. Waterproof lining does keep your feet very warm and dry from the elements, but it does make your feet sweat some.

Shoes run small. Frustrating that they don't make half sizes for size 12 or larger.

I bought these shoes as a primary hiking shoe. So far, they meet my expectations. I haven't yet tested the waterproof feature. The overall fit is comfortable, but the heel is a bit loose (but acceptable). The treads are rigid, but comfortable. I feel that these shoes will meet my needs of moderate to vigorous hiking footwear, while providing comfortable protection on the trail.

I love my Keen shoes! They are hard to find,especially in the correct sizes, Zappos allows you to try out different sizes, pick the one that fits and return the others and they pay for shipping. What a great way to buy shoes online!!

My feet are rather narrow, so I\'d really prefer a narrower boot. I don\'t think Keen really understands narrow feet. It\'s hard to tie them tight enough so they don\'t slop around, but loose enough so that they don\'t hurt.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, they are reasonably comfortable, they seem to be well made, and I like the way they look.

This is my 4 the pair of Keen Targhee II. They are exceedingly comfortable. I use them for exercise, day hikes and a casual shoe on weekends. The bottoms wear out easier then I would like but the comfort is 4+.

Love these shoes - got them prior to a trip to Italy, and they served me quite well as I walked 4-6 miles per day on cobblestoned streets. They are very comfortable, with a wide toe box not found in many shoes. They might run 1/2 size small, no more. My first Zappos experience was great!

These were for my husband. He usually wears an 11.5, but I had bought the 12 based on other reviews and also how Keens fit me. He loved them and they fit great. Nice arch support and good colors to go with a pair of jeans or cords.

This is my third pair of Keens. First pair was the original Targhee, second was Voyageur. This pair, Targhee II felt significantly larger than the previous pairs that I had to change to a 10 from 10.5. This was a little disappointing.

Great shoe. Runs small. I typically wear a 12 in any other shoe, but had to go with a 13 for this one.

This is my second pair of Keen Targhee II. They are great all around shoes for the Seattle rain and snow and also great for back wood trails. They run a bit small, I typically wear a 12, but found a 13 fit best.

I bought these because I had previously owned a pair (but they were the mid high boots). I knew the width would be good for me and the fit would work out. Other brands (i.e. Merrell) seem to fit me too tight; these fit just right. I have no problem with the laces holding, and they have excellent support for light hiking. I wear them primarily as a work shoe (construction), and with some additional light hiking (day trips), my last pair lasted about a year and a half as my primary shoe.

Great Walking Shoe -
This shoe held up well during a recent walking tour of Paris. I am 6'6" and have trouble finding shoes that support my frame. These shoes did the job. I wear an orthotic so the removable insole was a great advantage. Overall a great shoe for walking and hiking in my opinion.

Nice outdoorsy shoe!
Great looking shoe and the waterproof aspect is top notch. The sizing does tend to run a bit small...so you'll probably have to size UP from the size you normally wear. The heel adjustment strap (attached to the top lacing) doesn't seem to work as designed. The shoe does tend to have a little "play" in the heel...allowing your heel to move slightly. It can feel like the shoe will slip off unless you get it really tight. I do have a relatively new pair so I am hoping that will go away once the shoe has been "broken in." Other than that, it's a really nice shoe.

Nice Shoe -
Runs a bit small I suppose, but I knew that going in and ordered the right size. The waterproofing has been adequate to date, and I have no complaints. The toe box provides ample protection and the sole seems to be fairly grippy. This is my new disc golf shoe for the winter, I have to think that it may be a bit much in the summer though, regardless, I plan on giving it a shot anyway.

Costa Rican Hiking -
I was looking for a low hiker that could serve as an all purpose shoe and the only shoe I would wear on a two week trip to Costa Rica. I needed a shoe with a wide toe box. The Keen Targhee II looks like it will do exactly that. I have been wearing them for about 4 weeks now and I am pleased with how they feel, perform, and look.

Decent -
Pros: Solid construction, water proof, hard rubber toe, wide foot print. And now for the cons: P R I C E, they do not breathe, soles are slippery on wet surfaces. So... For the price, you can do a lot better. These are good shoes, and they are comfortable. I got the "orange" shoes and the color in the picture is different in real light. A little more purple than I would have liked. Also, unlike some of the other reviews, I think they run a half size too big. I’ve got to say, these shoes have stood up to some serious abuse and show no signs of failing any time soon.
