Customer Reviews KEEN Targhee II

I recently spent two weeks traveling through some US national parks (Capitol Reef, Bryce, Canyonlands, Arches, Zion) where I usually hiked for 3-4 hours each day on various types of terrain (e.g., solid bare hillside rock, broken large and small rocks on steep trails, slippery gravel, soft deep sand). My new Keen hiking shoes worked very well, giving me excellent traction in all conditions and were very comfortable on my feet the whole time, especially appreciated because the new shoes were barely broken in when I started these hikes. I did not encounter any wet conditions during my hikes, but suspect these shoes will perform very well there too. The shoes cleaned up easily after the hikes and seem tough enough that I suspect they will last a very long time. I am very pleased with my purchase.

So far great shoe. Comfortable after a short break-in

I love my Keen hiking shoes.

4th pair!!!

Great boots. On my 4th straight pair.

The new version of the shoe (with four eyelets versus five) does not fit as well as the original. The toe and instep are is still too loose when the ankle area is uncomfortably tight. In this case "form does not follow function." It appears that outdoor fashion and reduced manufacturing costs (with a $40 price increase) won out over a time-tested design.

Your customer service and excellent products are amazing! We are customers for life.

I had purchased a pair of boots from Keen that were perfect. The right width, arch support, perfect. The shoes however are so uncomfortable, I'm on the verge of returning them.

I wore these to try them out and they were a little large so I returned them. Nice shoe just need the correct size.

Too narrow, after wearing for two weeks developed a painful toe from one Keen shoe the other shoe is wide enough.

This is my third pair. Love this Model Well done keen!!

These shoes were so comfortable and I was wearing them the entire day for the first time.

Great fit great comfort. Great support

Keen served me well on may AT thru hike in 2015 and I have wrapped my feet in nothing else since. Once I dialed in on my size I can order any Keen that size and the fit is always spot on!

When walking there is a rubber on rubber sound coming from the arch area and heel area. Not had this before., I walk on a trail where its quiet and it can be frustrating. Otherwise I always love Brooks!

I'm writing this review 14 months into owning them. I like the style and comfortability of these shoes. The upper is made very well and I have not had an issue with it on either shoe. The insole is starting to deteriorate which I can expect from this point in time and is easily replaceable. However, the outer soles on the bottom of each shoe have started to separate from the sides and heel. One of the heels' outer sole is completely detached and is not wearable anymore. I would expect a better lifespan, at least 3 years, for this price point. I wear this shoe 4 days a week for at least 13 hours 70% on tile floor 30% on pavement just walking and sitting in. I think this is a manufacturing defect, (possibly with the type of glue or lack of glue), as others have stated in their reviews. Fix the soles and this would be 5-star shoe easily!

I've worn Keens for about the last 20 years. For me, they fit great and are comfortable right out of the box.

So comfortable... no break in needed

Good quality shoes. They seem to be a little bit on the narrow side even with ordering them in wide. I recommend them but wish they were just a bit cheaper.

Great shoes

I have at least 6 pairs of other boots from keen great boots - however this the Second pair of boots I have to return within 2 weeks due to stitching problems -

They fit and feel great. I walk 2 miles a day in them.

Feel great Ive had these before and will buy them again

I've been in Keen hiking boots and shoes for 8 years. My only complaint is the sole does not stay attached to the shoe. The multi-layered rubber (the black part) breaks free from the base layer. Also, 1/2 sizes all the way up would be nice. 12 is too small, 13 is too big. The shoe runs wide. These shoes are 2 years old; soles started separating soon after the one-year mark. I have reglued and separated again.
