Waterproof Mid-Height Hiking Boot For Women - KEEN Targhee 2 Review

Received these boots in the beginning of summer, took a. Couple weeks to break them in and they quickly became my favorite! Used them hiking, working, camping, everything where I wasn’t wearing my Sanford I had these on!But by the end of the summer, they are almost done. The sole is starting to fall off. I will try glue and see if they will get me through fall/winter but I’m a little disappointed they didn’t last longer. I really loved them!

My favorite hobby is hiking, mostly off trail. Unfortunately I inherited my mother’s bunions which tend to make long hiking trips quite painful. After doing some research, this boot was recommended for those, like myself, whom suffer from hallux valgus. Right out of the box, the wide toe box that these Keen’s offer felt amazing. The boot is also fitted around the heel, which not only keeps my foot from sliding in the boot, but also provides stability. I’ve just returned from a 5 mile, off trail

UPDATED REVIEW 2/21/2016These boots are GREAT! They have not only lasted one trip backpacking through the Costa Rican rain forest, but two trips backpacking through the Costa Rican rain forest, two months of hiking in Hawaii, and various hikes around New England. I have also used them as winter boot substitutes because I was too frugal to justify buying more boots. I have owned these boots for three years now and have worked them very hard. Other than being colored by the clays I have hiked…

If you suffer from painful metatarsal issues, these mids may be the answer you are seeking. I suffer from plantar fasciitis, degenerative changes in the metatarsal area as well as several other foot problems. Had no idea how I was going to get through the winter here in New England as I live in Birkenstock and Chaco sandals whenever the temps are above freezing and there isn't snow on the ground. Am grateful to have found the Keen Targhee line of boots as they do not cause painful pressure on…

Have just received these boots after having sent back a size 5.5 and 6.0 which didn't fit. I usually wear a US size 5.0 or 5.5 in a trainer on my UK size 3 foot. They were a bit short so have now gone up to a US size 6.5. They feel comfortable and supportive but so light. They are also a bit wider as well as longer but they do not feel loose and my heel stays put when walking so would seem to be a good fit. Will be wearing them to Nepal in October / November so will be able to give a better…

Not sure why but all the hiking boots are getting cheap. Leather is like its sprayed on. Such a shame especially for these, the name gets it double the price but no better than others that are much cheaper. Sent them back.

After trying the Pyrenees and finding them too stiff, I ordered these hoping for a little more flex, and I wasn’t disappointed. I have a wide foot and am dealing with metatarsalgia, so finding something comfortable and supportive was really important. They were comfortable out of the box, and my first hike with them was 6.5 miles in a medium cushion hiking sock. They were exactly what I was looking for, and what I expected from Keen- comfy, supportive but flexible, and kept my feet dry despite…

Didn't bought is for myself, looks good.real review could be done after use.so that is why now only moderate reply.☺ The boot may not be sturdy enough for backpacking trips.

Very comfortable, did not need to break-in before hiking. I ordered up 1/2 size so that I could wear thick socks and it was a perfect fit. Toebox is great for anyone with bunions.

I bought my first pair for daily dog walking treks. I wound up wearing them all day every day for 2years. The heels finally wore down so I bought a new pair. Great boots. I stick a pair of gel inserts in them over the factory insert for extra comfort. Well made and fit great (as long as you buy a half size up from your regular street shoe size).

So happy with these boots and that’s saying a lot since I have so many foot problems. It’s always worrisome to buy shoes online so I’ll try to describe these best I can. First of all I won’t be making any 20 mile hikes. I’m over 70 and need boots to allow for my farm chores and bad weather, not mountain climbing, but if these work for me, how much better for those who are young and spry.I’ve overweight and my feet tend to swell quite a bit, plus I have fused big toe joints. I can no longer get…

I bought these instead of Keen's Durand style for two reasons - because a previous reviewer noted the Durand weren't roomy enough (or insole removable) to accommodate different insoles AND because they were lighter in weight than the Durand style.I'm quite please so far! A few things that make them especially nice for me (but may not work for others):FIT - as recommended by almost everyone, order *at least* a 1/2 size larger than typical. I already do this in running shoes, so it was any…

Like the Keen Targhee II mid than the III’s as the toe is more box like than the 3’s. Only drawbacks to the Keen’s is the rubber tread starts to peel back and risk of tripping if u drag your feet- these boots last except for the tread peeling which I take to a shoe store and they re-glue it down. Crazy glue helps also

I am disappointed in this product. I have had other Keen shoes and have been great. This one started off great but after wearing the shoe three times the strap that holds the lace in broke and now it does not lace us as well as it should. I stopped wearing them in favor of other brand that has not broken on me.

I have wide feet, and these fit perfectly. No break in period required. Wore them for a long hike right out of the box and they were incredibly comfortable.

Even though the description said this boot is true to size, I found it to be too short. My toe rubbed the front, even when just standing. I ordered my usual size 9. Should have ordered the 9.5. Otherwise, it is a beautifully made boot.

I’m an avid hiker, and while these boots took a few miles to break in, after hiking many miles in them over the last year, I can say they were well worth the money spent! They have been extremely comfortable and likely saved my ankles from possible injuries. I like these boots so much, I bought a second pair when I saw they were on sale!

These are good looking and would have worked great for hiking. I have a bunion that it rubbed and I could not wear them for long without being in pain. They went back and I got a full refund with no problems.

Keens are durable and provides support for my feet. When you add on a plantar fasciitis insole it's just heavenly. I have several pairs of keens. Sometimes you can get a good deal at Zulily.com. I bought targhees at zulily for 75.00. I place Keen along with Merrills and HOKAs. These three brands are the best for comfort especially if your on your feet for 12+ hours.

I was trying to find new hikers to wear as winter boots and suddenly it dawned on me that if my Keen sandals are so comfortable, why not try the hikers? I am glad I did. First off, there is plenty of room in the toes which I like as I have wide feet. They fit nice over the arch (I have a high instep and getting my feet into boots has often been a problem) and I needed something waterproof. I have not waded through slush yet but I am expecting them to hold up. The first day I wore them out was…
