KEENWomen's Targhee II Low Height Waterproof Hiking Shoe
~**~
Comparable to the Keen Voyageur....
I've had great comfort with the Voyageur and bought the Targhee 2 to replace an old Voyageur pair which has worn out completely after years of use. These two shoes seem to share the same shoe fast and are built on the same platform. There is plenty of toe box room for me, the back is a bit elevated to help with high arches and the fit is smooth and comfortable all around. They seem to be basically the same shoe.I wear a size 9 in most Keen shoes and boots but when it comes to the Voyageur and the Targhee 2, I need to go up 1/2 size for the perfect fit. For me they run a little too short. I also use a Birkenstock Blue insole for very high arches which completes the overall fit. In the summertime, I wear thin silk socks which makes them just a hair too big (but my feet swell more in the summer making the fit perfect) and for the other months of the year I wear normal thicker socks which work perfectly without being too tight.The Multi color, which is a very deep dark brown and the aqua contrast is really striking and they are a fabulously good looking pair of walking/hiking shoes which get lots of compliments. I really love them.Just a reminder too, is that when your old Keens start to get holes in the bottom from so much use, just keep them and use them as water/river shoes. They are still sturdy enough for this use and to keep your feet supported and covered in the rocky streams and rivers.

Comfortable and good traction
Very comfortable shoe and amazing traction that probably saved me on a really difficult trail. Agree with other reviews that it's not a very breathable shoe so it might get hot. Wear cotton and light weight socks. The laces didn't stay tight all day so I might get some elastic laces to help. Overall awesome shoe, looks great even when you're not hiking, and made me feel very safe on some steep and slippery trails!

Super Comfortable
These shoes performed perfectly for 10 days straight at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta while crewing for two hot air balloons. My feet stayed dry and warm and they are wide enough for my feet. Perfect for walking and hiking in. I’m a Keen convert now.

Tread is wimpy, but an otherwise great shoe
I have worn Keens for 10+ years, and the comfort is superior for being such a rugged, truly waterproof, well-made shoe. EXCEPT for one annoying attribute unique to Keen hiking-style shoes. These are almost two years old but really only worn when I’m working outside in the warmer months… my husband wears Keen Targhee II’s exclusively and experiences the same issue - The tread falls off! And mine only made it a year and a half before this began, and I’m a small woman, I’m not just blowing them out with use. So here I sit with Shoe-Goo trying to glue them back together. For the price I’d like them to hold up longer than that. Their boots don’t have this issue, I wish they could come up with a different design that held them together longer.PROS: These are the most comfortable, rugged shoe, and my unique praise is that they are great for those of us with wide feet!!! And the sizing I find to be consistent and accurate. I have the hardest time with having a wide enough toe box and Keen has nailed it. Every other part of the shoe has held up great. They’re still very comfortable, so I’m going to try to salvage them.

Best hiking shoes ever
Wow are these comfy! I typically require a wide width shoe, but my foot slides right in with plenty of room in the toe box. There was no breaking-in period; I put them on and went for a walk with no regrets. Great traction in both dry and wet conditions. Adorable color options make them even better!

My 13th or 14th pair of Keens in 10 years.
These shoes are excellent for: hiking, trail walking, every day errands, work, leisure, dashing to the car in the rain, snow, and mud. I really like the large toe box. The shoes are comfortable and not too wide. They tend to run a half size small in my experience. I have three pair of Keen sandals, as well as, the variety of Targhees that I've owned. I tend to buy a new pair about every 18 months and then demote the current pair to yard work and "poo-patrol" when picking up after my Yorkies. I love the fact that these are water repelant to water proof. Be sure to read the specs as Keen offers shoes in both models. My preference is the low cut shoe over the ankle height. Just feels better for me. I have experienced ZERO break-in time for this brand of shoe. The color selections are muted and very similar to each other. Get over it...I have yet to see Keen offer a bright blue or red Targhee. (Although that'd be cool. I'm totally all about blue.) The soles of the shoes take a long time to wear as they are made of Vibram. Great stuff. The foot bed is removeable and there is plenty of room for orthodics if you wear them. I have worn out the foot beds and just replaced them with after market variety. The laces are really long so you may either have to cut them down or double-bow tie them. Just something I've noticed over the years. Unless your mom is a totally hip kind of woman, she may not like the look of these shoes, as the toe bumper is quite prominent. My mom thinks these are hideous. Well, if she'd only try a pair and not look at her feet, I think she'd be hooked on the great comfort, weather resilientancy, and did I mention comfort? Give Keens a try. I hope you like them. I sure do.

Looks great but odd fit, might lose a toenail
I have a wide forefoot and narrow heel and sized up to an 8 from 7.5. The toe area is very roomy for my duck shaped feet, but the toe is still hitting a very uncomfortable stiff spot at the top even though there's plenty of width and length. Replacing the insole doesn't help as there's not enough height in the shoe. I've never worn 8.5 in my life, and my heel would definitely slip. I haven't even walked yet and after losing a toenail from my last hike, I can't risk it. The looks and craftsmanship are top notch, but the comfort isn't there.

Great Fit
Great fit and very comfortable. I do like a thicker Insert but I can add that later. Great product, price and color.

Always the best choice
As always, Keen targhees are unbeatable in durability and comfort. I walk a lot for work and these last and never disappoint. I think it’s the 5 or 6th pair that I have reordered. They’re super wide and comfy.

Sitôt reçu sitôt mises aux pieds et me voilà partie en petite randonnée. 8 km sans avoir mal à mon petit doigt de pieds ! Bref, rien à voir avec mes salomons. Confortables +++

Skorna är jag nöjd med. De är som förväntan stabila och sitter bra på foten

KEEN buena calidad
Sabia lo que compraba, soy fan de desde hace muchos años, aunque me he llevado un poco de sorpresa ya que no me esperaba o no me acordaba que KEEN en este modelo hacen horma bastante ancha. Compre el 40 talla mujer y estoy satisfecha en general, me pondre calcetines mas gruesos y listo. Son muy ligeras y super cómodas. Como digo , ya sabia lo que compraba, ya que este es un modelo similar a unos que tuve hace muchos años y no pude volver a encontrar, así que super satisfecha. Los dos ultimos pares de zapatillas que he tenido son Salomon y no las volveré comprar, JAMAS (unas goretex y otras normales) bajando pendientes el dedo gordo me golpeaba constantemente la punta hasta el punto de tener que quitarme las zapatillas y bajar descalza el ultimo tramo; y la uña del dedo gordo se acabo poniendo morada y me han costado dos uñas del dedo gordo y parece ser que a mas gente le ha pasado eso. En fin, que I'm KEEN on KEEN. PD. Las botas de nieve son tambien una maravilla.
