KEEN Men's Targhee II Low Height Waterproof Hiking Shoe

Good sturdy walking/hiking shoes. The insole is very thick and good arch support. Past complaint for other Keen's is soles wear out way too quickly so we'll see how these do. If the soles "melt" off in a few months I'd change this review to a 3.

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.***

My third pair of Keen hiking gear, Sandals, high top, and the ankle height. The wide toe box is a big plus. Very comfortable. Size varies with these shoes, high tops are larger for the stated size, sandals are a little small, these shoes hit spot on for a size 12. Well made but I know after a while, the soles will start to detach. They are compound soles, with two layers of dissimilar color and composition. They come apart in the arches and toes. Nothing you can do about it except keep a. Tube of shoe goo around to fix them. Seems the original method of affixing the soles gets old and releases. Not a problem unless you are mid hike. Having said that, and it is the same for all of my Keen purchases, they readily can be fixed. It’s my third pair, right, so if I can fix them I will. Upper shoe quality is very high and the toe jambs are quite rugged. These are the most comfortable hiking brand I have used.

I’ve had several pairs of Keens. I’m very happy with ten but for one exception. The toe box area on every pair starts to crack about two years in. Otherwise, they are comfortable from the first day, remain waterproof and reasonably breathable. They are reasonably priced. The soles could last a bit longer but don’t wear unreasonably quickly. I keep buying them because, overall, they’re good value for money.

These shoes are the most awesome shoes there is. My best friend's older brother knows some guys, and he says apparently these are the shoes that navy seals wear when they are undercover. The seals like these shoes cause when you wear them, people know your not messing around. I'm not a seal but I think I will be one when I get out school and sign up. I'm already practicing swimming in my pool and I can hold my breath for two minutes. Being a seal is pretty much the best job you could have, ever.In the mean time I bought these shoes cause I'm pretty radical and need some shoes that enhance my skills. These shoes fit good. Like really good. I normally wear a 10 1/2 so bought these in 10 1/2 and guess what? They fit. I bought them in the Gargoyle/midnight navy color because gargoyles are badass. Maybe not as badass as navy seals, but still. They look just like the picture so that's cool. They're supposed to be waterproof so when the seals come out of the water, people can't hear the squishy sound when you sneak up on them. I haven't tried it yet but I'm gonna try sneaking up on my mean neighbor some time. They're really comfortable too and don't get hot on my feet. The last thing you'd want on a secret mission is to get hot feet. The tread is pretty gnarly and makes it so you don't slip. They're so awesome I think I can probably run up a wall like in the movies. I tried a few times on our brick wall but had to stop when my mom yelled at me. They make me run fast too. I almost caught the ice cream truck down the street. They look really good too. My friends are pretty jealous and some girls started hanging around my when I started wearing them.You should really buy these shoes. You don't have to be a navy seal to use them, but it would be sweet if you are. If you do get them just watch out. They make you feel so badass you just might accidentally kick your mom in the face when you put them on.

Great shoes for hikes in my mountain neighborhood. Unfortunately, these were accidentally returned to the seller due to a family miscommunication, I already have one pair, but wanted another color as well. I was however not thrilled with the color, which is not really an olive green, but more brown.

Me gustaron mucho. Están muy cómodos y con gran diseño.

Keen es excelencia en calzado de trabajo y senderismo, los.diseños, calidad y materiales son de primera, altamente recomendables, además de ofrecer plantillas ergonómicas para hacer el uso de tu calzado demasiado placentero.Una vez que los pruebas será difícil de cambiar de marca.

I can get a perfect fit with these. They’re comfortable right out of the box and they last and last and last. I just got the new ones, but I’ve owned them for years in the past.

Unfortunately Keen has foolishly discontinued this model. I seem to have bought the last two available pairs. Not sure. Love these because of the very comfortable and large rounded toe box. There are other shoes that fit well in the foot but cramp the toes. These don’t.

Sind die alten nach ca. 5 Jahren abgelaufen bei vielen Kilometern mit dem Hund und ständigem Tragen (wie gesagt abgelaufen, nicht kaputt!), werden immer wieder genau diese gekauft, da die Qualität absolut überzeugt.
