Customer Reviews KEEN Targhee IV Vent

Ive been wearing some iteration of the shoe daily since 2019. I like that they have streamlined the shoe's look, making them a little less chunky. I have flat feet and wear an insert. I use Keens when I will be on my feet all day, and for all my daily activities. Great for walking on trails and slippery surfaces!

What happened to the fit? This Vented Targee is NOT the same shoe as the older version. The shoe is much narrower in the forefoot than previous years. Its also a tad shorter, and the (removable) insole is less supportive and cushioned. In fact it feels like hard plastic instead of cushioned foam material. My last pair of these were great right out of the box and lasted 3 years of hard wear. The same size in this newer shoe is about 1/2 size too short, so order up half size. The toe box is narrower which is noticeable, forcing me to wear a thinner sock. Totally bummed that a great shoe has been changed. I wont buy another.

I wore this new hiking boot for the first time. Normally a low rise feels like I am walking out of it because I generally go up in size. This Keen was great! My toes didnt feel cramped and my feet didnt ache.

I have had Keen hiking shoes for years. I ordered the same size as last time. After wearing them for a hike, I realized they are WAY too big. The box was damaged in shipping. Is there a way for me to exchange them?

When I took them out of the box, I thought that they looked liked they were made of plastic. If they are made of leather the quality seemed very low. Most of the plastic quality made them very stiff. I tried walking around the house in them to see if they would soften up but the sides rubbed against my ankles. I didnt think that would improve so I packed them up and returned them.

The thought of a bonded sole was appealing, as my go to shoes have been Keen Voyageurs, but the soles always delaminated and needed to be reglued. I hoped these would fit and be comfortable out of the box. My heel slipped and the shies were not comfortable. Sad. I got a size larger than usual, so maybe should have gotten only a half size larger.

Love these shoes been using same style for years in Hawaii. Great on sidewalks, gravel, beach, shore breaks

Great shoe! Nice and roomy in the toe box, and comfortable enough for a hill hike right out of the box.

I read this shoe runs big, so I ordered a 1/2 size smaller than my normal 7 in Keen. The 6-1/2 is 1/2 longer than all my other size 7 Keens. And the arch support Keen is known for was non-existent. Why has Keen changed so much? Sadly, Im forced to try other brands now.

comfortable when first put them on, I went on hike and they felt good on the rocky trail. I walked thru water and the shoes look like new. really like them they are wide enough so my toes have room. thank you

OK, so this is a pretty harsh rating. But, when the size is not right, nothing else matters.

I was very disappointed in this shoe. I have an old pair of this same shoe and it is much better than the new version. The laces on the new shoes are too short and stiff and will not stay tied and the inner sole does not have very much arch support. I love Keen shoes but this pair is not up to your standards.

Not new to this shoe. I have worn this shoe and many other styles of Keens for over 30 years. I recommend them to everyone.

I love mine! They are so great for hiking along slopes and inclines as they stay firm and do not slide. Yet also very comfortable and they do not sweat in heat. Last week I hiked with them in 103 degree weather.

I wear these for work, which is outdoors and in all kinds of weather. These are lighter and cooler than my winter shoes. Perfect for hot summer days.

Love Love my new color and style!! Keen shoes are the only shoes I wear!! My first pair was over 5 years ago and will BE for the next 5 years or More! I always get compliments and always ready to praise and recommend the Keen brand -

Ive worn Targhees for 15 years. They are the best for my feet!!

I love the fact that my toes actually have room to move in these shoes! Idk how breathable they are just yet, my feet haven't been sweating in them with normal daily wear, but i have not hiked. My feet do slide forward in them a little on downhill, but I think that's a matter of me finding the right socks. Overall, will definitely stick with keen!

These shoes run wide. I have a wide foot and am very comfortable in them but others who dont have a wide foot might find them too loose.

Comfortable the moment I put them on. Enjoy wearing them all day.

One whole size to big. I haven't had a chance to try them out yet. Seem a little heavy. Not to sure the sole is flexible enough. When I get my order I like to write a new review. Keen employees have been great to deal with.

Comfortable and energizing

very nice one thank you

I had to return the shoes because they didnt fit.

I wear a 7 or 7.5 in shoes and decided to get the 7 because Keen is known to have a wider toe box. Im so glad that the shoes fit perfectly! No break-in period needed. Cant wait to wear these on hiking trips this spring.
