Two friends and I own about 15 pairs of Keen boots, shoes and sandals between us and we love them. Having tried and been disappointed with 4 different brands in a two-year period, I tried on my friend's Keen Targhee's and was converted there and then. I ordered my own pair (half a size up from my normal size) and when they arrived I put them on and started walking, they were instantly comfortable. We walk an average of 40 miles a week and after six months of that the boots show no signs of giving up, the insides showing hardly any signs of wear at all. Not a pinch or an ache which is a first for me; I love the wide toe box (but the boots do not look too "clunky" at the same time) and excellent arch support. They are very light and have kept my feet dry, even after wading through a deep puddle, although my socks were slightly damp after trudging through sopping wet high grass for a period of time but that might have been perspiration either. I would highly recommend these boots and I would also like to mention that we were very impressed with Backcountry's and Keen's customer service when we contacted them after receiving a faulty pair of boots; it was not a straightforward exchange and they really helped us out so 5 out of 5!

Cute, light, comfortable for moderate hiking, a little less padding than I expected.

I wore these boots for the first time yesterday on a very strenuous all-day hike (signs said 15 miles, but my fitbit said 19). Up and down steep hills, over tons of rocks, and through about a dozen stream crossings and thick mud. My feet stayed dry and didn't get too hot. Although they rubbed the outsides of my ankles a bit and I did get some pretty nasty blisters on my pinky toes, I still have to say they were very comfortable considering how long I wore them, about 12 hours. They were very grippy on the wet rocks. I've just recently gotten over a heel injury from running and was worried I would re-aggravate it, but these boots have great cushioning.

I should probably also mention the customer service with Tim F. was awesome. I didn't listen to other reviewers who said to get half a size larger. When I received them and tried them on, I realized I needed to exchange them. He was very helpful and made the exchange easy and quick.

If you're looking for a bit more support than your regular Targhees, then look no further! Awesome fit, and even better stability! Can wear these all day without complaining!

These are the single-most-comfortable hiking boots I have ever owned!! Fit is true to size and they required absolutely no break-in whatsoever. I work on concrete and walk an average of 8-10 miles each day. My feet have never hurt...not once! Great product! A must have!!

so bummed they do not sell these in anything higher than a 10. i have always worn a 10 in keens and so ignored the other reviews to order a half size up and stuck with my normal size 10 (seriously i have like 5 different pairs of keens). as soon as i got them i put them on and wore them around the house for about three hours. they were so comfortable except when i took them off my toes were numb from hitting the end of the shoe. so sad to have to return them... i just need a half size up. other than that i really liked them. they even made my feet look smaller which is a plus when you have big feet.

Right from the get go, this boot was very comfortable. I wear them all day, even at the end of the day, I don't want to take them off. The boot keeps my feet dry in wet terrain. I wear a 5.5 US and I ordered a 6 and the boot fits very well. I wish Keen made a well insulated winter boot with this comfort. Better yet I wish they made Nursing shoes.!!

First impressions on my new Keen Targhee II Mid hiking boots: Great! I have a fussy foot with high arches and bone spurs and usually live in clogs, yet these boots feel snug without rubbing the wrong places. They are waterproof, lightweight and streamlined-looking as opposed to clunky. To break them in I put on a light and heavy pair of socks and headed out for a moderate hilly hike. Two hours later the boots still felt comfortable.

I love these boots! I do a lot of hiking in all sorts of terrain (deserts, forests, boulders, grass, wet areas) and these boots definitely have stayed strong. I don't suggest trudging through tons of water, but they do well in damp areas and crossing streams.

I am a size 7 1/2 normally, but I bought these at an 8 to leave room for thicker socks and/or swelling. I suggest the same for others!

I live in Colorado Springs. The first test run was at the Garden of the Gods. The shoes where perfect for going off trail. Great ankle support and the soles have a great grip on the red rocks!

I got my originals as a special promo since I worked for a retailer of Keen! From the first time I put them on, I loved them. Now everytime I go out hiking, I'm wearing them. Great for those trails where you might encounter mud, water etc. They kept my feet dry and comfortable. I loved them so much, I bought another pair as back-ups!

This is my second pair of these puppies and although the material of the uppers feels stiffer than my first pair, they don't seem quite as "substantial". I really like a boot that is light weight, has wide toe box, and good ankle support while not being so tall as to bang into the back of my leg with every step or squat, and these boots accomplish all of that and more. I'm really hard on boots as I wear them hiking in the Ozarks (over rocks and terrain that's quite rugged and hilly or wet and boggy --- or all of the above!) but I also wear them to work on my current backyard project (terraced rock pathway) which requires the ankle stability and grip for foothold these boots offer. I don't want to be mid way through moving a 50 pound rock and start sliding down the hillside! At my age (65) I don't need extra weight of heavy boots on my feet to add to the weight of the rocks. Another plus is that they don't make my feet look huge like most hiking boots do and they are comfy right out of the box. The ankle got stretched on my first pair because they got wet so many times over the course of a couple years, but they're still good for "loafing". I recommend 'em!

I have suffered from Plantarfacitis my entire life. After a few hikes in these, I have NOT had to put insoles in them... That's a first for me!

The reviews that said these aren't waterproof- Baloney! I crossed a FAST, and COLD moving creek in the rocky mountains while trout fishing with my boyfriend. His feet- SOAKED. Mine- COMPLETELY DRY! I was mind blown and SO impressed! Not to mention the grip I had on dry AND wet rocks.

I also stepped in deep mud my first hike out and thought I completely trashed my right boot. A dunk in the lake and you can't even tell I stepped in mud!

I was between these and the Voyager because my feet tend to overheat while hiking. I ended up with these because I will be able to use them year-round vs. 3 months. Glad I did! My feet get warm, but definitely manageable with a great pair of smart wools, and by no means too hot.

Overall these were worth EVERY PENNY. I will be buying Keens from now on!!

First, I want to say that I'm becoming a fast fan of Keen footware. Over the years, I've tried different boots, which all seemed to fit "well enough," but which also gave (what I felt were) the requisite blisters after the first few wearings. Not so with the Targhee II. During my first use in mid-April (read wet conditions), I went on a light backpacking trip (6 miles round trip) through mud and high water levels and was neither sore, nor blistered by the time I got back to my car. Also, they did a very decent job of keeping my feet dry as I did go ankle deep in water at one point.

After reading other reviews, I ordered these in a half-size larger than what I normally wear and they were PERFECT. I also have wide feet, but these required no break-in and were completely comfortable. AAA+.

I gave these a chance; I really did. I have two pairs of KEEN sandals and another pair of KEEN shoes, and I love them all. However, the Targhee II Mid Hiking Shoes hurt my toes, and the shoes felt very stiff and "boxy." It felt as if my feet were encased in two shoeboxes. Also, the traction on these shoes weren't that great. I purchased these shoes because I needed a pair of comfortable, durable, shoes for hiking rugged, rocky, and at times trecherous, terrain. I am extremely brand loyal until the brand screws up, and these shoes are a big disappointment. I am getting ready to return these. I will give the KEEN brand another chance in general, but I will also look at other brands of hiking shoes.
