Description

Burly trails beware—the Keen Targhee Mid II Hiking Shoes are on your case.

Lacing up the Keen Men's Targhee Mid II Hiking Shoes is like shifting your feet into four-wheel drive. Their 4mm lugs grab rough terrain, while the waterproof and super-breathable eVENT insert keeps your feet dry. The dual density, compression-molded EVA midsoles cushion and absorb shock so you can return to the trailhead without achy feet. The mid-height cut protects your ankle from rolls and twists, and Keen's S3 heel support structure cups your heel so you experience less slippage and less blisters.

I have several different pairs of Keen hikers. My Targhee II's are about 2 years old and going strong. They are built to be lightweight, so don't expect to torture them year after year. They are best suited for light hiking and are waterproof to the ankle. Comfortable but inexpensive boot for a winter jaunt, or for an all day excursion. I find them to be true to size, perhaps a bit wide, but laces can take out extra room.

Excellent Mall Walking Shoe!

This is the worst shoe I have ever owned. But why is it so bad?
1) It is glued together by children in China or Vietnam so you know its the poorest of quality
2) I used them as a work boot in rough terrain. I thought this would be fine for walking long distances with a heavy pack. Boy was I wrong.
3) They are super comfy if you just wear them around the city. Its a walking shoe not a hiking "boot"
If you dont believe me I am posting pictures of what my boots looked like after 4 months (only 4 months!) of daily use hiking long distances (~10 miles a day). Keen sucks, they really are the worst quality boots out there. Unfortunately they are trendy and people want them. Fork out some extra dough and get quality boots if you want long use. I'd recommend Zamberlain or Asolo.
In my pictures you will see that both my boots failed in the same place, causing huge holes in the side of my boots to let lots of dirt under my sole. If you're into that, these boots are great! The holes came open on day 17 (Right boot) and day 53 (left boot) of my job. A fox chewed my lace in half so I cant blame keen for that, but I wish I could. Trad on the bottom started coming off within the first month.
Keen does have a 1 year warranty, but I didnt want another pair of terrible shoes. I really hate these shoes and hope you wont buy them. The 1 star "straight up sucks"rating is well deserved. I wish I had more hands, SO I COULD GIVE THIS BOOT 4 THUMBS DOWN!

Worst shoe ever?

Love the way they feel when hiking/walking. Great design really seem to energize my feet. They can get warm and sometimes feet feel wet but that is from the heat. They seem to do a good job in wet conditions.

I bought these for hiking and disc golf, but not sure I like them for disc golf. They are a bit bulky and make it difficult to get foot rotation on follow through. Love them for hiking though and the winter weather.

I have worn another brand for quite some time and am thinking of trying the Keen Targhee II. I have read a bunch about the wider front. Should I stick to the normal size I always get (I have somewhat wide feet anyway)? I have also a read a bit about the soles becoming separated from the boot. I currently work in Afghanistan and need a good set of boots for daily wear. Thanks in advance.

So here it is 6 weeks since I purchased these boots, and my feet couldn't be happier. 1st thing, the people at backcountry.com, and those who rated these boots as A+ were completely correct!! I actually purchased these boots for work, but will be hiking this coming summer. I'm on my feet 11 hours a day and there hasn't been one day when I've had a complaint about tired feet because of the boots. The roomy upper front has plenty of room for my "Fred Flintstone" feet. The support that surrounds the ankle is also very comfy, as is the arch support. I also use them when riding my bike to work. With a good pair of winter moisture wicking socks these boots have kept my feet dry and warm even when it's 5 above ZERO,(tomorrow it's going to be BELOW ZERO)!!
So would I recommend these boots to a friend? I wouldn't be much of a friend if I DIDN'T!! I only wish that I had a cool picture to include like everyone else who submitted a review, and helped me to decide on these boots.
Buy them. You can't go wrong!!

I think these are super durable, mostly waterproof, almost stylish , incredibly comfortable, decently breathable , fairly lightweight boots. I mostly water proof because, some boots that are in a different category are more waterproof. After using these for many miles, and daily use these boots have proven worthy. I have hiked through mud and ice for days. I have had them freeze, mud harden on them like a metapod, and have had salt water all over them. I have only had water breech the toes a few times. I highly recomend these, but if your a serious hiker you may want one more slightly nicer boot. I think for the average person these are great. Even for experienced hikers I'd say these are worth having.

A nice and comfortable hiking shoe. The shoe truly is waterproof up to the ankle, which is nice. There was a little break in period on one of the shoes, but it seems to be have passed. I did need to order a size up from what I normally wear, but this allows room for thicker socks if needed, yet I'm still not swimming when wearing a thinner pair.

I bought Targhee II's for as a lite day hike go out on the town boot. I have a 2-3 E width foot that always required ordering an extra half size larger shoe to give my toes enough room. Keen's design is brilliant. I never understood why shoes were pointed on the ends. They are by far the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. Immediately fit and felt super stable. I suspect they are not intended for severe hiking and or the extreme mud/muck day to day stuff I experience at work but after I get the new worn off I am sure they will go into my work boot rotation. Love them so far.

Love them! Just what the doctor ordered for light hiking category, although their was seperation between leather and sole in the toe of the boot.
If you are doing a day hike with a light pack, "Buy them"! Super stable and comfortable.

I am working 6-12's in Afghanistan right now, and needed a good pair of boots that would let my feet breathe, plus be able to take these brutal conditions! Plenty of ankle support for the rough stuff, and with a good pair of socks they stay comfortable all day!! Rock solid pair of boots!!!

I give these 5 stars because they are champions!! I've owned many different brands of boots and Keen boots are hands down the most comfortable and durable. They are extremly light weight They look killer, and the Keen Dry System works extremely well. I do alot of hiking/Backpacking in the mountains of WV and come across many creek and just nasty sloppy crossings. These have yet to fail me. I own 3 pair of these not because they suck and I've had to replace them, I have 3 pair just because they are that awesome!I also wear these everyday to work in the Lumber yard in the heat and these breath great and my feet never ever hurt. I recommend these things for just abot anything. You wont be upset with these. Happy Hiking, and cups up for the Targhee II!

Good Work Keen

Personally, I usually prefer to hike in Chacos or minimal barefoot running shoes. So I can;t quite say that I love them. But if I have to restrict my feet, these are a great pair to do it with. They offer plenty of support and comfort. The toe box is a little wider than boots I have used in the past.

When I first considered the KEEN Targhee II, I was skeptical the boots would perform as well as the Scarpas and La Sportivas I'd turned to for multi-day backpacking trips for years. Frankly, the KEENs blew those out of the water as far as comfort goes, and were totally comparable in terms of support, traction and waterproof protection. These boots felt like slippers from the moment I laced them up, but supported and protected my feet and ankles over hundreds of rocky, rooty and wet miles. My one complaint is that the soles have started to delaminate, but I'm super-gluing them on to help solve the problem. But that's it; Everything else is golden. For me, big, bulky, stiff, blister-causing boots are a thing of the past -- thank God. I'll be turning to KEEN from now on.

Most comfortable hiking boot I've ever worn
