      Comments about Keen Targhee II Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:

      I got these hiking boots specifically because of the broad toebox, because I am taking a month-long hike in Europe this summer. With the daily mileage that I'll be logging, I anticipate a certain amount of swelling of my feet. I've taken several 10-15 mile practice hikes since getting these and am very pleased. They also offer good protection from the beating my feet can take when hiking on rocks and gravel. I like how the top lace hooks lock on the laces, so I don't have to do any half knots at the ankle. The bad aspect to these is they are rough on my ankles. My hope is that as I break them in, that part of the boot will soften up some. Otherwise, I'm likely to need a lot of moleskin over the course of my big hike.

        The elastic band that held the lace broke after 2 weeks, and there is no way to fix it.
        For their cost, 2 weeks of use is really short !

        NOT recommended

          These boots go from the office to out in the field. They make it very easy and simple to be prepared for any type of work. They have great traction in the dirt, snow and mud. They stay dry crossing streams and keep my feet warm. They are not overly hot either, so they work great when I am in the office or outside.

            Comments about Keen Targhee II Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:

            I hike 15 - 20 miles a week in the hills & mountains around my area, and I love Keen's wider toe box, as I suffer from Morton's neuroma in both feet. I returned the first pair because they squeaked terribly. Tho I could only hear it indoors or when not on the noisy, crunchy trail, it was annoying. The new pair is perfect! I have 4 different Keen styles, & I love them all! Keen tends to run small, so I always get at least a half size larger; whole size larger in the hikers due to socks & the neuroma condition.

            Service and delivery comments:

            REI "rocks" at customer service! The staff is very helpful & knowledgable regarding the products & services available. I've worked retail for over 18 years and know that customer service is just as important as pricing. As I've gotten older, it's become almost MORE important & will bring people back to your store.

            Comments about Keen Targhee II Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:

            I have had two pairs of the Targhee IIs over the years and overall a terrific lightweight boot that has comfort and durability in varied terrain environments. The only drawback is that in my experience the rubber soles break and tear after only 5-6 months of heavy use. I used these boots primarily for trailbuilding and long distance backpacking, two uses that take a heavy toll on ANY boot. Overall, great purchase, just wish Keen could toughen up the soles a bit!

            Great for wide feet!

              Comments about Keen Targhee II Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:

              My feet are a size 6EE and it seems there is no hiking boot in the world made in that size, but I tried on a pair of these in 7B to my amazement they fit wonderfully. The day after I bought them I wore them for several hours of traipsing over marshy trails and they were completely comfortable--no blisters or sore spots on my feet and with perfectly placed arch support my feet didn't ache. Plus my feet stayed dry! I'd hiked the same route in other shoes earlier in the week and afterwards my socks were so wet I could wring them out.

              The salesman at REI told me the Keen brand is known for having a wide toebox, and at least in this style it's true. When I first tried them on in the store my toes had plenty of space--squeezed toes are usually what make tight shoes uncomfortable for me--but the boots were slightly snug over my high instep and my heel slipped a little when I walked. I was able to solve both issues with lacing strategies--lacing them all the way to the top prevents the heel slippage (because of my high instep I often lace boots and even shoes only part way) and lacing them very loosely over my instep keeps the boots from feeling too tight. I notice that some Keen styles actually come in a D width which might mean that people with EE feet could wear them without having to go up a size or two in length.

              These shoes are great for hiking, but indoors they squeak something terrible! Certainly won't be sneaking up on anyone when I wear them to work! They are the 4th different style of Keen I've owned, including an oxford and 2 sandals, all of which I LOVE! It would be true love with these hikers, if it wasn't for that gawd awful squeak! Tried powder inside & even spray lubricant outside, but to no avail.

                Comments about Keen Targhee II Mid Hiking Boots - Women's:

                I love these shoes. I have flat feet and a bunion that make finding comfortable, practical shoes a huge pain (sometimes literally), and these shoes have the perfect shape and amount of support for my foot. The ankle is high enough to offer a good amount of support and to keep sand from getting in if I'm wearing them on a beach. They have good traction. I could wear them all day, every day!
                I haven't had them long enough to be a good judge of how they're going to hold up in the long run, but so far, so good. The lacing hooks at the top bug me a little bit, but that's my only issue.

                    I tend to have pain in my arches after a day on my feet. This is the first pair of shoes or boots that have arch support that doesn't disappear after a week of wear. These boots are waterproof, warm, and so very comfortable. I sadly haven't had them out hiking yet, but just running around town on snowy and slick days, these have been fantastic
