KEENMen'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.***

I'm a granddad that does a lot of camping with scouts. I needed a higher durability shoe that was waterproof and these shoes are great. No break-in required. I ordered a half size larger to accommodate hiking socks (measure your foot and pay attention to the sizing chart) but could have ordered true to size and been fine. Innersole is very ergonomic. The heavy lugged outer sole is rugged enough to handle the roughest of terrain.

First I want to say the Amazon try on policy is great. I have had miserable experiences with buying shoes on line in the past - They never fit, vendors charge for returns even if just changing sizes etc. In preparation for an Alaskan excursion, I wanted waterproof hiking shoes. After much research, I decided to try out the Keens and found that Amazon had the best pricing at the time. I ordered three different models of the Keens under the try on policy. After trying them all on, I found the Targhee II fit me the best and returned the other two pairs. (dropped them off at a wholefoods - sweet and easy). It must have rained at least part of everyday we were in Alaska. The Targhee's keep my feet dry, were comfortable to wear every day, had excellent traction and are a great all around hiking shoe. Very happy with purchase and expect to get years of use from them.

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.

My last pair lasted about a decade, which included walking border collies each morning at 6am, rain, snow, or shine. Eventually, the sole separated from the boot, and no amount of shoe glue and waterproofing could keep them moisture proof But, we're talking a decade of daily use in plenty of wet and icy weather.This new pair is less than a year old, but I have every reason to believe they'll be with me for about a decade.In terms of fit, there is very little "breaking in" necessary. First time I put these on, I was off for a mile hike with my collie. They felt stiff compared to the previous pair, but this stiffness was gone within a week.Excedllent hiking boots.

These are just great hiking shoes. Your foot plants on the ground in a very stable way. They have a nice wide toe box, which is great for my feet. I graduated my old pair to my garden shoes, and when the new ones get worn down, I’m sure I’ll get another pair!

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.

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.

Étant sportif j apprécie le côté qualité et confort
