Comments about Keen Targhee II Hiking Shoes - Women's:
This is the second pair of Keen Targhee's I've owned. They're unbelievably comfortable, and wear well over time. They do not require a break-in period, unlike most footwear of this variety. They're waterproof to about 3/4 of their overall height yet very breathable. I prefer the lower cut of these shoes over the mid-hiking boots because they allow greater flexibility of movement. I've worn them in all types of terrain- loose volcanic rock, smooth boulders, and wet marshes with great results. I found the proper fit to be the same size as my running shoes.

Comments about Keen Targhee II Hiking Shoes - Women's:
I threw these out after one hike. The tongue is attached to the sides of the shoe in such a way that it creates lumps and therefore painful pressure points at the tops of the feet, no matter how you tuck or try to overlap.

Comments about Keen Targhee II Hiking Shoes - Women's:
These shoes are amazing! I finally purchased my first pair of official hiking shoes after hiking around Mt. Rainier in Nikes - ouch! I literally tried on about 25 pairs over two days with help for the patient REI associates. I couldn't find the perfect fit so I just went with what was the most comfortable. These are fairly wide and I consider myself to have narrow feet but they definitely work. I went up a half size and most recommend that for Keens. As others stated, there is no break in period, just lace up and you're ready to go!
I don't do intense hiking, day hikes here and there. I have worn these at Cowles Mountain in San Diego and Golden Canyon/Gower Gulch in Death Valley and they have been great. The traction is so good - I don't have much to compare too but I was climbing on loose rocks and did not slip. I haven't used them yet in wet weather so not sure how they hold up. On my Death Valley trip I kept saying I'm so thankful for my Keens! It's like walking on air. After hiking about 4 miles, the last 2 over golf-ball sized rocks/pebbles, my feet were starting to get sore but the pain went away when the terrain flattened.

Brought these hiking shoes about 2 months ago and used them to hike the Wonderland Trail. Hiked 96 miles in 8 days and had not issues with my feet. I wanted to try something a bit lighter on my feet then my normal hiking boots and I am glad I picked these up.

Comments about Keen Targhee II Hiking Shoes - Women's:
I bought these and liked them at first, until I went on a hike in the Columbia Gorge. The trail was rocky, and the small stones kept getting caught in these shoes' deep lugs. I fell four times and turned my ankle twice--on a fairly level trail! I admit to being a klutz sometimes but not to such a degree.

This shoe has a very comfortable foot bed but the laces/tongue construction cause a lot of pain over the top of the foot. Really regret purchasing these.

Bought these shoes for a 4day hiking trip to Machu Picchu, Peru. With only 10days to break them in, I was very nervous about blisters. These shoes were great, wore them every day for 20days straight (only a baby toe suffered a minor blister). Very comfortable on the hike, kept me very warm and dry
loved them.

Comments about Keen Targhee II Hiking Shoes - Women's:
I do a lot of walking and require a shoe with great support that is durable and comfortable. These are the BEST shoes that I have EVER owned. I am sold and will continue to buy these time and time again. Great for hiking in sloppy conditions, and absolutely wonderful for everyday wear too!

Comments about Keen Targhee II Hiking Shoes - Women's:
I just bought my third pair of these Keens, and consider them loyal friends. I did three marathon hikes on the Camino de Santiago with them--hikes of 175 and 320 miles with the first pair, and 500 miles with the second-- and both pairs were working well after all the miles. No blisters, and they carried me through rainy days, snowy days, and 105 degree heat. And dog walks galore.

Comments about Keen Targhee II Hiking Shoes - Women's:
I have used these shoes so far for some light hiking, but I plan to bring them with me on a summer hike in alpine areas. I have had no "break in" issues, but I have found that the traction is quite poor on wet surfaces (even if weather is warm). I slip and slide very easily. Perhaps this will diminish as the shoes age a bit and are more broken in.
