Not bad | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| Boot is very comfortable and provides the right amount of support in both the heel and arch. This is important because i found most boots either have good heel cushioning/support but little or no arch support, or vice versa. I normally wear a size 10 but as with all hiking boots I ordered them 10.5 and they fit good initially. The bad thing about any shoe is that you will not know how it will perform or really fit until you put it to use and if you do that, you will probably not be able to return them, because they have been "used". After wearing these boots for five days I feel a sort of choking point on the top of my left foot and I am also feeling the boots are a tad too small, since from time to time I can feel my toes hitting the front of the boot. I do not get any foot fatigue and they do seem to keep my feet dry. i should mention that I weigh 225 lbs. and this tends to make a big difference when trying out boots. I did try the Oregon PC's, since I read they had the best support - wrong! They were severely lacking in my opinion, in fact the Targhee II is much better in that regard. So, overall a good boot but consider ordering these one full size bigger than normal. Would I recommend? Yes, until Merrell can get their Radius II Mids refined so the eyelets do not keep breaking. | |

| I have the last color model but other than color, it's the exact same boot. Bought mine at the REI store in May 08. I went hiking in near Vegas this last May in Red Rock Canyon and Valley of Fire. The Targhee performed very well. I bought the shoes about 2 days prior to hiking so I had zero break in time. The Targhee really needed no break in period and fit perfectly right out of the box and were very comfortable. Traction was great and the support was very nice. The boot is a little hot but I was also in 100 degree weather so I'm not sure anything would have felt that cool. The one issue I have with this boot is that the soles already show some minor wear. Nothing major but I did not expect to see that much wear after only about 15 hours of hiking. I suspect they would hold up much better in non rocky terrain. Final Verdict? I'm sticking with them because they are just sooooo comfortable. I don't mind a little extra wear in exchange for a nice comforable and cushy ride. I have a fairly wide foot and they fit just right and are pretty close to true sizing. | |

| I love these boots and I love Keen. I have owned this pair of boots for about one and a half years (probably about 35 backpacking trips). These boots are the most comfortable boots I have ever put my feet into. I use them for day hikes and backpacking. I generally carry 25-30lbs when backpacking and these boots work perfectly. My keen's haven't ever let water in. I have stood in streams with them and not one drop of water gets in. The first time I did it I thought that they where leaking because after a few seconds I felt a cold flood around my feet. I got out and pulled my boot off and my sock was completely dry... What I had felt was the coldness of the water coming thru my boots and socks but no water came in. Now I tend to stand in the streams when i get to them to cool my feet off. My girlfriend got sick of hearing me tell her how much I like them so she decided to try them. She had cycled through about 5 different boots (other brands) and had avoided Keens because of their appearance. She loves them as much as I do now... | |

| Great boot. Light and supportive around heel. Top hook locks laces in. VERY well made boot. I only have two negative comments: (1) Sizing. I wear a 9.5, which is sized small in this boot. Bought a 10 and itseems to be JUUUUST a little too big. (slight clown shoe feeling) Perhaps with big thick socks some of this would go away, but i normally wear Superwool so Im not one for bulk. This is an amazing shoe- comfortable, supportive light, and the tread grips like a bear claw. I'm just pretty particular about having responsive shoes that fit and WISH they made them in a size 9.75. (2) the laces were thin. While they work with this shoes, perhaps thicker laces would feel more supportive than lacing up with piano wire. Just my preference, not a major negative... mainly what I'm used to with other boots. It would not even factor in as a neg if the sizing fit me a little better. | |

| I used these boots to hike to the top of 18 mountain peaks in the western US this summer. The good points are: 1. They are very comfortable right out of the box. 2. The sole supplies good traction under a wide variety of conditions. 3. Waterproofing is quite effective, no leaks. 4. Wide toe box minimizes toe blisters. The not so good points are: 1. The sole will separate from the shoe with hard use (such as backpacking, mountain climbing). This is a common complaint with this boot. 2. The sizing is a little off. You need to order one size larger than normal size. 3. The shoelaces supplied are a bit on the short side and are not very durable. They will fray where they go through the hooks. All in all, I really like this boot, if only Keen could find a better method of gluing the sole so that it won't separate from the shoe. | |

| Great shoe - After Zappos' typically quick delivery, I wore these shoes to the office for a few days to break them in, and then put about 10 miles on them on a very icy trail that weekend. Comfort was great with minimal break-in and they provided as much traction as you can expect without crampons. The width of my feet is what determines the size shoe I wear. Luckily these accommodate the extra width because they felt a bit small. I usually wear a 10.5 (which is what I ordered) and have extra room in the toe. The width was fine and I was pleased to see that I didn't have an extra inch of shoe out in front of my toes! If your feet are longer rather than wide, you might need to order half a size up. | |

| Good boot and as mentioned often, they are comfortable right out of the box. Don't think there will be a breaking in period, I usually do about 9-10 miles, will wear them this weekend w/o worry. Seem to be very well constructed with good arch support (flat feet here), a bit warm but I guess since they are weather proof, it's to be expected. I wear a size 9 shoe, sometimes a 9.5. Ordered a 9.5 boot based on comments here, perfect fit. Their sizes are a bit smaller than "normal" but not so much that I think you have to go up a full size to get the best fit. Only knock I have on them are the laces are a bit too short, maybe another 2-3 inches would have made them perfect. | |

| I am so glad Moosejaw helped me get a pair of these boots! I searched high and low for my size in the Lichen/Jester and I couldn't find them anywhereeven Moosejaw.com. Then one day I called into the AA store about the availability of another product and decided to ask about my shoes as well. Moosejaw said that they didn't have any in stock, but that they would special order a pair for me from Keen! My shoes arrived about two weeks later, and the store held them for me until I could come pick them up. I absolutely love these boots. They are not clunky like some, yet they feel very durable. After trying on a pair at the store before I ordered, I ended up getting a pair that was TWO sizes | |

| I like these very well so far. I have wide feet and these fit me even though they don't come in wide widths. I had to get an 11, even though I normally wear a 10.5 in other Keens. I also got the same size in the Voyager and the Voyager seems to have a bit more room in the width than the Targhee. These are very supportive shoes. I use them and the Voyagers in place of my running shoes for walking and I use these at work where I'm on concrete floors a lot. I like these enough that I bought another pair of Voyagers to have when the first pair wears out. I wear the Voyagers if it doesn't look like rain because the waterproofed Targhee gets a bit warmer. | |

| I bought a pair of these hiking boots last year when I was preparing to do some hiking in Northern Georgia. I have a wide foot so I purchased the mens 7 1/2 instead of women's size 9 because the mens shoes always run wider than womens. Well, I found these boots to be so comfortable to me that I wear them every day to work also. I work in an apple house and am on my feet all day long and these are the only shoes that I have ever had that do not hurt my feet after standing for more than a couple of hours. I have just purchased another pair since I wore my first pair practically every day for the past 15 months. I love these boots. | |

| Keen's Targhee II Mid Serious Concerns. Just an observation from myself and several other wearers of Keen boots. It seems like the quality of Keen boots has been sliding down hill over the past few years. Till recently I had not heard anyone complain about Keen quality. The Keen Targhee boot fits like no other but it sure seems to fail like no other. Several friends of mine who wear the Targhee II's have mentioned disappointment that their boots have had issues within the first few months. Till last week I had not thought too much of their comments being very happy with the comfort and blister free wear the boot offered. Last week I took a new pair of Targee II Mid's on a 9 day trip and on day 3 the lace loop on one boot came un-glued. I think quality control failed to noticed the boot was missing stitching. Having to rig a brand new pair of boots to make it through the remaining 6 days is a little upsetting. Also the boots had the incorrect length laces. They were far too short. I'm returning the boots to the seller without an issue. I sure hope Keen will seriously consider taking a hard look at their manufacturing processes to make sure that all boots are built to the highest quality so your customers can count on the boots and so that you can remain on the list of quality out gear manufacturers in the minds of serious outdoors adventurers like myself. | |

| Not What I Expected - I really like my Keen sandals and was hoping to get an equally fitting boot for pack-hiking. I really wanted to like these boots, but there were a few things that made me send them back. 1-the toe box is much narrower than I expected 2-little support for ankle and no grip on heel. 3-because of 1 and 2, the boot grips a ton on the front of my foot but lets the heel slide around sloppily. 4-they are very stiff and feel like I have a piece of plywood strapped to the bottom of my foot. 5-I looks a bit like a moonshoe once they are on. 6-after inspecting the seams I was also a little skeptical about the glued edges. Overall, I would expect more from Keen. It just wasn't a good match for me. | |

Fine boot with one major flaw | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| These boots are on the narrow side for my insanely wide foot. I wear a 14 6E shoe and many times that size can be a little narrow. The boots are advertised as waterproof which they definately are not. I've had boots in the past that could be partially submerged overnight with no inside dampness. Even though these are supposed to be waterPROOF they were soaked through within a half hour. Also the laces that came with the boot didn't fit the boot, they were too short. These boots probably would make it through some light rain but any more than that or puddles forget about it. Water resistant yes, waterproof not the slightest. If you don't mind the lack of true waterproofing they'd make an ok everyday work boot. | |

| Perfect shoes - my first pair of Keens and the Targhee II cemented my fanboy-for-life status...completely waterproof, and one week after purchase i wore them in Kauai during a warm rainy run - first time ive run in boots and felt stellar doing it, plus they were barely broken-in...ankle support is pretty good for a non-stiff-ankle shoe/boot...the ribbon around side and back seems decorative but after cutting one and having to remove it i realized how much it gives an assist to the back and side fit. Super comfy for people like me w/ wide toebox as well as not having much of an arch...after 2.5 yrs or so the sole is just starting to unglue on outside edge of both, but this after 4x/week wear | |

Keen Help!!!! | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| I'm Torn... this is the most comfortable pair of shoes i have ever owned. Unfortunately i have gone through 4 of 5 pairs in 2yrs. On my 1st pair the stitching came apart. The other pairs had problems with the treads coming unglued and the lace loops breaking which ultimately made the shoe unusable. The average life of the shoe for me was 3-5 months. I use them as everyday shoes mostly indoors on concrete and carpet. No hiking/climbing. I would expect more from a [$]shoe. It just kills me that they are so comfortable. | |

Great fit, not so great performance | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| These were my first experiment with Keen. The boot fit great, and felt good on the foot. I took it for an afternoon hike though and it just didn't hold up. They were very hot and didn't breathe at all. That, and the fact that they leaked in just a brief creek hoping; was enough to convince me to return them. I'm sure they would be great for around town or on campus, but they definitely aren't something I would want on my feet eight miles back and in a rainstorm. | |

2nd pair with waterproofing failing | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| This is my second pair, and they're going back this week. The first pair lasted about 6 months before the waterproof liner failed. I figured it was a bum pair, so I exchanged them for the same think. Another 6 months later, and this pair has failed also. They are showing very little wear, so there must be something wrong with the design or the manufacturing process. These boots fit great, but they just don't keep the water out. | |

| I have to say that I was not that knowledgeable about shoes/boots when I bought these. They were recommended for a hike with full pack on the AT through the Smokey's. Not what these boots are for! Killed my feet and I was able to stop before major injury. Not the boots fault, but I say that to say this, these are light hikers. I weight 200 pounds and carry upwards of a 60 pound pack. These boots are not for that. You feel every little rock and bump in the trail and there is little to no stiffness in the sole for support. I do however where these for very light hiking and everyday use and they are WONDERFUL! The most comfortable boot I've worn. Light, easy on and off. The size is true to form. Keen is the only brand I can buy off the internet and know that it will fit and fit right. I have had no wear problems and these have held up well. I have had them for about 8 months now. Would I buy another pair, yes, would I recommend them, yes, but know what you are wearing them for. | |

| Make SURE you order this shoe at least 1- 1 1/2 sizes larger than your normal footsize! I ordered it a size larger to accomodate an extra heavy sock and its still a bit pinchy! I like toe wiggle, and I'm hoping that the shoe will loosen up a bit, if not I'm going to be upset. The shoe is comfortable, but still a bit tighter than I like my shoes to be. | |
