KEEN Women's Targhee 2 Low Height Waterproof Hiking Shoes

Purchased my first pair of Keens three years ago when I found a size 7 on a clearance sale in the men’s department that just fit my foot ! After three years of hard use the heals had worn down but we’re so comfortable I couldn’t imagine buying any other brand! This time I had a choice to buy a women’s shoe but wasn’t sure which size to order so I used the web site instructions and measured my foot length @ 10” & ordered women’s size 9 1/2 Targhee II low profile in “English Lavender”. My new Keens are GORGEOUS & fit Better than my first Keens because they are roomy enough to wear my heaviest socks and feel heavenly to walk in! They work especially well on long walks through the woods and rough rocky terrain because they are extremely sturdy, well made, protective, supportive, and so comfortable I want to wear them all the time🙏

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.

Oh friends. These shoes, these shoes! I was starting to lose faith that no longer could one find an amazing pair of hiking shoes. All the shoes I looked at seem to have defects, diminishing quality, weird sizing, etc. For me, I needed a pair that were structurally sound for working in a muddy garden where snakes and other biting things are a threat. I found these to be a bit expensive but worth every penny. They might be the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. Like right outta the box. Zero break in period, and I have sensitive feet. They are sturdy, and one of my favorite things about them is the ability to slip them off and on. They have laces, yes, but I tied them once and haven't had to untie or retie since. They are so sturdy you can just slip your foot right on in and right on out, like a rain boot. Plus they're CUTE. I found them true to size. I wear an 8.

These boots fit as if they are made for my feet. Pure comfort and perfect shape. Although the newer made ones are slightly narrower than a few years ago. Still, they fit really well and feel great. The new inserts they use, the yellow ones are not so great though. Not as comfortable like the old ones were. The tread is chunky, great grip, the fit is awesome, the look is excellent. I have bought several pairs over the years. I have ONE complaint and it's a BIG one ... Every single pair of these boots I have owned, after a year or so, the tread literally falls off. The glue they use for the tread needs serious improvement. The only reason I ever have to every buy a new pair is because of the tread falling off ! Regardless of this .. because everything else about the boot is A+, I would still highly recommend them.

Bought these because they are waterproof & will keep my feet dry. Order my normal shoe size, fit perfect. I have a narrow foot & these have plenty of room for thicker socks without being too tight. Very comfortable, would definitely buy again.

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.

Excellent support in a hiking shoe. Sheds water.

I like these shoes. I bought them for a trip which was cancelled, so I wear them on my daily walk. They are comfortable.
