KEEN Men's Targhee 2 Low Height Waterproof Hiking Shoes

Only shoe that fits perfectly for me with extra wide toe box and high arch Very durable, thick rubber toe piece has saved my toes more than once , chainsaw bounced off

This is my fourth pair of Keen waterproof hiking shoes. They have all worked out great. The Keen Targahee 2 & 3 are waterproof and a only come up to my ankle, so they are a lower profile than most boots and they seem to let air thru them so my feet are not sweaty or damp ever. This latest pair took me a month of everyday casual wearing to break in properly. I have not experienced any sort of foot pain or soreness while wearing them even after strenuous hikes in rugged terrain. They are a much better fit for me than the leading competition (Merrel). The shoes have usually lasted a year per pair for the amount of use I get out of them, wearing them almost everyday. My previous pairs have blackened a bit from wearing them in the very sunny Coachella Valley otherwise known as The Mohave Desert. My previous pairs have worn out, after a acceptable amount of use, in the inside back of the heel area. The fabric wears out and tears open and then the padding breaks apart. It remained soft though, and did not become dry and hard. And in one case the back of the lower rubber sole on the bottom lost it's adherence to the upper rubber sole directly under the leather. I still keep them as a back up pair. The shoes have a very sturdy toe area that does not have any metal in it, but is made of a hard rubber. After five years is mountainous hiking in Idylwyld, and all over Coachella I have never had any stubbed toes or foot injurys. Nothing has ever pierced them and injured me, although one pair did get a two inch tear from a sharp rock that sliced the leather on the outside of the shoe just behind my small toe, but it did not cut through the inner lining and it still remains waterproof. I did not attempt to patch it or glue it together. The Keen Targhee are a very dependable hiking shoe in my opinion. Fashionable and rugged durability just like me! 😊

If I had an opportunity to rate these shoes at a 10 with 10 being the best I would rate it at 10! The quality, appearance, comfort, the style & price is excellent! My husband has Gout & Bunions this is an amazing shoe he loves the comfort & ease to walk in these shoes. He had some several years ago & pleased with them, but prices had gone beyond our budget we located these on special perfect price & shoe!!! Also, extremely satisfied with the fact not made with recycled material everything brand new & Keen is the best!!

I love these shoes, I've been through probably 7 pairs, they last me about 6 months of everyday use, lots of hiking. My only complaint is that the tread portion of the shoe tends to alway separate here on every pair, both feet. I end up super gluing it back every time. I have the K30 insoles. So far these have been the only shoes that are comfortable for my plantar fascitus.

I don't normally write reviews when something positive occurs, more so I just complain when something goes wrong and then post about that. But I felt compelled to laud this hiking shoe, even though I've only used it on one 8 mile hike in the Angeles National Forest. My girlfriend and I hiked Mount Baden Powell this past Saturday 4/25/15 in what ended up being the perfect test environment for any hiking shoe or boot. A cold, windy day with plenty of unusual Southern California precipitation. Starting out at 37 degrees at 6,500 feet, my feet felt comfortable, warm and firm in these Keen's. Hiking up to between 8,000' - 9,300' it started snowing. We crossed over patches of snow as well as walking through mud. A good portion of the terrain we passed over was rock. On the way down as we dropped to 7,500' and below the snow turned to sleet and then became rain so we also crossed several puddles along the trail path. After completion my feet stayed warm, comfortable and dry. I've got fat/wide feet so these size 11's were very spacious and my feet didn't feel cramped. I've also got a pair of Vasque Taku GTX hiking boots and these Keen Targhee II's had an extremely similar feel to the Vasque's, just in a hiking shoe form instead of hiking boot form. They seem pretty sturdy and durable, but I can't give them 5 stars just yet because in my books an excellent product will have a long, productive and durable life. Like my Toyota or my Vasque hiking boots. I'll try to follow up with this post in a couple months or after I use them to hike Mount Whitney in September with these Keen Targhee II's and then possibly raise it to 5 stars if they are still going strong without a great deal of wear and tear. ***Updated 8-24-16. These hiking shoes are by far the best hiking shoe's I've ever had. I don't even bother with using my Vasque hiking boots anymore. Besides, trekking poles help reduce ankle sprains anyway, so who needs a heavier/bulkier boot? The last 3 weekends I hiked San Bernardino Peak (16.5 miles 4700' elevation gain), Old Baldy Trail (13 miles 6,000' elevation gain) and last weekend Mount Whitney (23 miles 6,670' elevation gain) and these hiking shoes are now well over a year old and still kicking ass. Grip still great, comfortable enough and very durable, wide for my wide feet...I cannot praise these hiking shoes enough. Pair them with Thorlos wool hiking socks and your feet will do better and last longer than other poor suckers stuck in other shoes/boots.***

These shoes I bought stayed in the box in my closet until a month ago and started wearing them for their first time. I started wearing them and a month later, the rubber or plastic, whatever it is, on the soul of the shoe, started falling off and separating from the shoe. Maybe there is some strong glue I can buy, and glue the parts that are falling off. This exact thing happened to the last pair I bought of this same exact shoe. I bought this new pair thinking it wouldn't happen again, but I was wrong. KEEN makes a worthless shoe. I will not buy KEEN shoes ever again. They are overpriced junk. If I could give it negative stars, I would. I will take pictures and post them.

Excellent quality from Keen. Shoe seems a bit chunky and it feels like the area below the big toe angles up, but even with wide feet, the toe box is comfortable, great traction, and overall feels great.

I don't have extra wide feet. I don't have a very high instep. But I have a higher than normal instep with a wider than normal forefoot and a normal width heel - together, they make it difficult to find shoes that fit, particularly boots or work shoes. As I have a pair of original men's Keens that fit in my normal size (9.5 in men's, and not a wide), and because most reviews said that they worked well in wide, I ordered the 9.5 wide, as I figured I might need a bit more volume in a boot vs a shoe. Unfortunately, the 9.5 wide is too small and the top of my foot was squished. So, I removed the insole. Now I could get my foot in, but the heel area was too large and when I walked, the socks were sucked into the shoe. The width is OK, I believe, as is the length - they simply don't have enough space for the taller instep. So, if you have a wide (E or EE in men's) foot without a higher instep, these could be fine in your wide in you normal size. If you have a E or EE width AND a moderately high or high instep? These may not work. You could order up, but I think the heel might slip and they might feel too long, as the length on this is just fine. They look OK and while a bit stiff, they weren't hard to walk in. No idea on longevity and other features as they are going back.

Very nice shoes

My second pair of these shoes and absolutely love them. Last pair looked after me for 8 years and I now use them as a shoe for working on site (I'm a fencer)

Con el tiempo me voy enganchando a esta marca de botas de excelente calidad y comodidad. Este zapato no me decepciono y esta a la altura de lo que esperaba.

It really isn't easy to get wide and waterproof shoes without spending a few quid. Had to order these a few times to get the right size but the perseverance was well worth it. They are a really ridgid shoe with very little manipulation of the foot so a wide toe box is essential. However they are comfy and feel incrediblely secure. Definitely waterproof and do their job on slippy forest trails. I would say your feet ache a bit after a day of wearing them, mainly as the foot is so supported, movement is limited and can feel a bit like cramp after you take them off and stretch. All being said, that's not major given the benefits they provide. I had to size down by 1.5 sizes, and they still have a bit of a gap at the heel but tight lacing will secure you in. I got these for about £75, well worth up to £100 and I can see these lasting years.

メレルとの比較購入となると思うが、個人的にはKEENのほうがシルエットは美しい。ハイカットで防水性があるので、大雨、水溜りで靴下が濡ることはありません。 カジュアルウェアに合わせるにはスニーカーよりオシャレになります。
