Great Hiking Shoe
Irene PC12 years ago
I bought these shoes for the fall hiking season. The first weekend I had them I did a 3 mile flat hike and a 5.6 mile hike with 2,281 feet of climbing, the shoes were great. I really love how tough and stiff the soles are, it made hiking on rocky patches a breeze. I also really like the look of them, for a hiking shoe, they look good. I received several comments about how cute they are. I did go up half a size, my feet are normally 7.5-8, I bought 8.5 shoes. Also, the first pair of 8.5 shoes I tried on seemed a hair small and they did put a pressure point on the top of my left foot where the tongue of the shoe sits. Had I bought those, I think it would have been very uncomfortable. I tried on another pair of 8.5 shoes and the pressure point was gone and the size felt slightly roomier. I bought the second pair of 8.5 shoes and haven't regretted it.

The Heel is Too Loose
Evrstray10 years ago
I love everything about my Keen snow boot, so I thought I'd give one of their lighter boots a try. Unfortunately, I had to return this one immediately. In other aspects, this is a comfortable shoe, but the heel is way too loose. Even with the laces securely tied, my heel popped out with every step I took, even at a walk on even ground.

Loved them, so I bought a second pair!

For my second Camino de Santiago, I purchased a pair of Keen Targhee II hiking shoes. Unlike during my first Camino, where neither pair of shoes or boots actually worked well on the hike, these shoes were SO comfortable, I didn't even have to wear my alternate pair of shoes at all (Teva hiking sandals). After six weeks of hiking the north coast of Spain, I began to worry about what would happen when my shoes wear out?? So I decided to order a second pair. The first pair shows no signs of wearing out at this point, but shoes don't last forever, of course. Got my second pair in a slightly different color, but otherwise, exactly the same. Love them!

I was looking for a good pair of hiking shoes when I stopped in to REI. The guy running the dept. seemed to know his shoes. He asked some questions and then pointed me in the direction of the Keen Targhee II. Having a wide foot I am hard to fit, but these shoes have such a wide toe box they are perfect. I went with a 1/2 size larger at the salesmans insistence and glad I did. I wore them during the week to break them in a little before my Saturday hike and after 10 miles and no blisters I am very pleased. I guess time will tell how they hold up but at the moment I would recommend them.

This was my third pair of Keens (also have the Targhee's with mesh and Keen sandals). My original pair of Keens was also bought at REI. They started coming apart (rubber sole was peeling away from the shoe) after less than 1 year of use. I took a picture, submitted a claim to the Keen company directly, and they gave me a voucher for the price of a new pair of Keens! Not only did I get to keep my original, still wearable, Keens, but I got a new pair as well! Amazing customer service from Keen. The shoes themselves are great. I wear them all the time for day hikes, walking the dogs, traveling, you name it. Everyone in my family now has at least one pair of Keens, and everyone loves them. They are super comfortable, have great medial-lateral stability, and good traction when its slippery. Also are waterproof, so splashing through puddles or small streams is no problem. My only minor quibble is I wish Keen would come out with more color combinations for this shoe. I will be buying these shoes again when my most recent pair wears out in a couple years.

Fit my wide feet

I purchased these the day before a vacation (I know, bad idea) when I knew I'd be walking tons. I have very difficult to fit feet - flat, wide, and one's a half size bigger than the other. ALWAYS get blisters. This are the BEST shoes. Wore them everyday, all day, hoofed it all over the place. No blisters, no problems at all. LOVE these...and I am forever trying to find something that works for my terrible feet. There was absolutely no break in time at all. One item of note that some may not prefer - these shoes run hot. So they may not be the best for warm weather.

These are my second pair of this shoe and I love them. My feet are a little wide- Keens tend to be the only shoe that work for me, and they feel a little tight. They've loosened up over the few weeks I've had them, but are constricting with thick socks. Keep this in mind if you have wide-ish feet like I do. I really wish that outdoor shoe manufacturers would recognize that not ALL women have narrow feet! I love how rigid these are- I always feel supported, but the insoles are still cushy. It's a great combination! The tongue is designed the way it is for water resistance. When the tongue isn't attached like it is, water simply seeps through. The reason you guys are having trouble is that Keens are too wide for your feet.

I love these shoes. I bought them last spring anticipating a trip to Alaska and have used them hiking in Alaska, the Pac NW and on regular walks on an often very muddy dirt path around our local golf course. They keep my feet very dry and comfortable. I tried on 3 or 4 pairs of low hiking shoes before I found these that totally cuddled my feet. That said, while these are prefect for me, they may not be for you. I bought these during a sale last year and really appreciated getting help from the "shoe guy" who gave me tips on how to tell best fit so would also suggest that you go to a store and try different shoes if possible

I just bought my second pair of these! I am still using my first pair but I wanted a backup and they were on sale. I tried on a ton of shoes but when I put these ones on I knew I was sold. I have worn these shoes in every situation possible. This was also the only footwear I had during a 2 1/2 month backpacking trip and they held up wonderfully. I hiked up rivers, mountains, soggy terrain, you name it. I wouldn't be suprised if I have hiked over a thousand miles in these shoes and I have never had issues. I was also very suprised how they didn't rub at all when they were wet all the way through. The only downside is that the grip is not good. Sometimes scrambling up rocks is necessary and these shoes make me be extra careful.

Perfect fit out of a box, however...
7 years ago
I have wider feet, so after reading numerous reviews i decided to purchase my first Keens, as they seem to be built for feet like mine. I also went 1/2 size larger, as recommended, and they really fit nicely, straight out of a box. I was surprised how large they looked when i first took them out of a box, but once i had them on my feet they seemed fine. I wore them around house before taking them on a 9mile hike. But no breakin was needed. No pain after the hike, i do however have to complain about the amount of debris that was getting inside through my heel. I was hiking on a decently established path, but i was still getting pine needles and small rocks inside, so i had to stop and fish them out without having to take my shoes off. Maybe this was due to the fact that i like to jog every few minutes or so?! I also didn’t feel like i could tie these properly, the shoes and laces are sturdy (or maybe I’m just spoiled how tight i could tie up my Columbia’s). I had to cross a few streams (or would have to look for several reroutes), so I decided to test how waterproof they are. And they lived to their name - not a single drop inside. I walked through maybe 2-3inches of water and nothing got inside. However, if you walk through a knee-deep creek, your feet will get wet! I will be returning these and going with a mid version because i want to avoid getting in debris on longer trails and have comfortable boot when backpacking. I also want to see if mid boot will offer me more ankle support, because I’m clumsy like that. Definitely sticking with Keens, but probably a DURAND or GYPSUM, as they seem a little less bulky.
