Sizing ChartKeen Men's Targhee II Mid Hiking Boot
Improve your traction on snow and wet surfaces while keeping your feet dry with the Keen Men's Targhee II Mid Hiking Boot. It's loaded with features to compliment your rain or shine outdoor lifestyle, including aggressive multi-directional lugs, and a waterproof and breathable eVENT® lining. The Keen Targhee II Mid Hiking Boot for men offers the utmost in underfoot care, using a dual-density compression molded EVA midsole, removable footbed, ESS shank, and S3 heel structure to cushion and support the foot over rough terrain, long hikes, and steep descents. That's a mouthful of abbreviations but it translates to comfort late in the day when you've got 3 miles to go before the end of the hike. The Targhee II Mid also includes Keen's famous toe bumper, not a fancy name but proven effective against unseen rocks, roots, and other obstructions.
- Leather, webbing, and mesh upper with moisture wicking synthetic liner and eVENT® waterproof barrier
- Dual-density compression molded EVA midsole
- Removable metatomical footbed provides excellent arch support
- ESS shank for torsional rigidity on uneven terrain
- Patented toe bumper offers protection from unseen obstructions
- S3 (short for shock, suspension, stability) heel support structure reduces the chance of ankle twisting on impact
- Non-marking carbon rubber outsole with 4mm multi-directional lugs for positive traction
- Weight: 17.0 oz. (482 grams) per shoe
Fit Tip: I wear an 11 in pretty much every shoe and this boot fit me well in size 11 for length. The toe box was a little tight but felt like it would stretch out and fit well after wearing the boots a couple times. Overall these boots fit standard.

Diane Mohney - 2009-10-02Nice boots, but run small.
I bought these for my husband in his usual size, but they were too small. He does have a wide foot, so this may have been the problem. They were really cool looking though, so I plan to reorder. Hopefully, he will love the comfort of Keen footwear as much as I do.
Anonymous - 2009-08-05Great shoe!
Great shoe! They are my second pair. They fit like a glove out of the box!!
Stuart - 2009-07-28Good as reviewed by others
Good boot and as mentioned often, they are comfortable right out of the box. Don't think there will be a breaking in period, I usually do about 9-10 miles, will wear them this weekend w/o worry. Seem to be very well constructed with good arch support (flat feet here), a bit warm but I guess since they are weather proof, it's to be expected. I wear a size 9 shoe, sometimes a 9.5. Ordered a 9.5 boot based on comments here, perfect fit. Their sizes are a bit smaller than "normal" but not so much that I think you have to go up a full size to get the best fit. Only knock I have on them are the laces are a bit too short, maybe another 2-3 inches would have made them perfect.

Anonymous - 2009-07-27Love this boot.
I didn't have time to break them in and they were perfect for me right out of the box on a 12 mile hiking trip. Good ankle support and grip on loose soil over hardpack. Really confidence inspiring traction when I needed it. Recommended!
Anonymous - 2009-06-02great boot. fits well and it waterproof.
I just got these boots and they are great. I have horrible flat feet and these boots provide excellent support. They also passed my in the sink water test! Good ankle support too. A little warm but I think i will use them year-round anyway. I love the heavy-duty construction of the boots. Lightweight also.
Kip - 2009-05-27Very Light and comfortable
Bought these last year and have used them extensively. They are a little hot but I got around that by wearing liners instead of regular socks. They aren't totally waterproof but they're definately the lightest hikers I've ever owned so it's worth the trade off.
David Garcia - 2009-05-22Can't imagine a better boot!
Undoubtedly the best footwear ever to grace these size 12's. Light, comfortable, sturdy and quite the handsome little boot. I am stuck on Keen boot brand and Keen boots are stuck on me!!(figuratively)
Anonymous - 2009-05-15Very comfortable boot
Very comfortable straight out the box. Used it for a couple of hikes so far, it's been great. Lightweight, good traction and also very easy to get in and out of.
Randy - 2009-05-13Nice lightweight boot for day hikes, etc.
This is the second pair of Keen boots that I have purchased. They are well made and comfortable for hiking. They do seem to run a little small and one may want to order a half size larger than normal. I've had Merrell boots in the past and find them very durable but not all that comfortable. The Keen boots seem to do both.
Pete - 2009-05-13Great Boot!
The most comfortable I've ever owned, great for hiking or wearing to the office, with a pair of smartwool socks you can hike all day. Order a half size larger.
Anonymous - 2009-05-07Great boot with great looks and performance
Love this boot! Great for hiking, for walking in the city or in the country. Bought this boot for our trip to the UK and Ireland and it was so comfortable and it kept my feet dry even in very wet conditions. Recommended!
timothy miller - 2009-04-29RAWR!
Great boot. Light and supportive around heel. Top hook locks laces in. VERY well made boot. I only have two negative comments: (1) Sizing. I wear a 9.5, which is sized small in this boot. Bought a 10 and itseems to be JUUUUST a little too big. (slight clown shoe feeling) Perhaps with big thick socks some of this would go away, but i normally wear Superwool so Im not one for bulk. This is an amazing shoe- comfortable, supportive light, and the tread grips like a bear claw. I'm just pretty particular about having responsive shoes that fit and WISH they made them in a size 9.75. (2) the laces were thin. While they work with this shoes, perhaps thicker laces would feel more supportive than lacing up with piano wire. Just my preference, not a major negative... mainly what I'm used to with other boots. It would not even factor in as a neg if the sizing fit me a little better.
Ryan Dickson - 2009-04-27Never want to take them off.
The boots were comfortable right out of the box. While I haven't gotten the chance to put more than 20 miles or so on them, I'm sure they won't let me down in Wyoming in August. They do cause my feet to sweat a bit, but what would you expect with a waterproof boot?
Wim - 2009-04-23Never left my feet.
I bought these after one week on the Camino to Santiago de compostella. My old boots (Meindl Island) kind of gave up on me after 12 years of faithfull service and two resolings.
We all know you have to walk in your boots and numerous blisters were the consequence of this desperate measure. But the blisters went away and the boots stayed, hardly left my feet for walks, work, town etc. They feel great.
I stumbled on this site looking to buy a second pair......need one say more?
rick - 2009-04-06awesome shoes!
Just purchased these and immediately went on tour of 4corners area - Moab, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon, Antelope Canyon, and Mesa Verde - they fit like your favorite pair of old sneakers but were much better for hiking! Plenty of room in toe box for those with wider feet!
D Tipton - 2009-03-18very comfortable from first minute of wear
I bought these for my husband. He put them on straight from the box, and we headed to the mountains for a strenuous hike. No blisters, no rubbing, perfect fit. He was amamzed!
Scott Malatesta - 2009-02-23Great Shoe ! Keen is the Best
Shoes fit great right out of the box. Typical Keen shoe. Great fit, Great look, Great Price. Going out West with them skiing.
Nancy Hussey - 2009-02-21Great hiking boots
I love my Targhee II shoes and these Mid Hikers fit just as great with more support for my ankles and knees on rough hikes. I love the way the shoe opens so you can get your foot in without wrinkling the socks.
Konstantin Raspopov - 2009-02-17Great boots
comfortable,light. Make sure you order them at least larger half size
joseph j. cafaro - 2008-12-24Perfect from the 1st step
Color was exactly what was displayed. The fit was great (8.5) and like my other Keen shoes they are very comfortable and have good support for walking around town or day hikes with our dogs.
Jon - 2008-11-28Nice but small
I usually wear a 10 and got that but it was too small so gave it to my girlfriend and got a 10.5. This was also a little small with mid-wght socks so my next ones will be an 11. 3 pairs in a row? You bet. They are so comfortable and lightweight that i'm going to try until I get it right. They are not suited for backpacking on extended trips or with a full pack because they lack the stiffness in the ankles and soles but day or weekend hiking or around town they can not be beat. Worth every penny. Oh: I wore the newport h2 in africa for 3 weeks including part of the climb up Kili and they still look like new. Highly recommend the sandels.
Evelyn Murphy - 2008-11-19Wonderful Shoe, but didn't fit.
We need a 12 EEE Bought one of your shoes
size 13 in Palm Springs (lighter one) but that
is a bit too big, though wearing it for walks now. Had to unfortunately return the size 12 boots as they are too small. I have a pair and LOVE them. erm
Harry Roth - 2008-11-19Great boot
Although the color was darker than shown (I purchased the Deep Lichen) they look great and feel better. These are comfortable shoes right out of the box and felt to me to be true to size.
Jim St. Jean - 2008-08-24Great Boot
Right out of the box this boot was very comfortable. I spent the entire day mountain hiking with no complaints. Half size bigger than my normal size felt great.
Muhammad Saeed - 2008-07-07Comfortable everyday shoe
Wore it straight outta the box for the entire day; no sore feet; soft, yet rigid enough to keep the ankles secure. Got a half a size larger since the shoes run smaller.
Anonymous - 2008-06-20Great boots!
I have lived in these boots for over a week and they are wonderful! Comfortable, surprising amount of support for a mid height boot. Traction is very good on a variety of surfaces. Fit is true and very little change with wear. Highly recommended for day hiking and everyday use but likely a bit lacking for long backpacking trips.
Joey Huddleston - 2008-05-02Great for a wide foot
Ordered a half-size larger than my normal and these fit well with mid-weight hiking socks. Right out of the box I took an 8 mile hike up and down on mountain trails and these felt like they were custom made for my foot. I've previously had Lowa, Vasque, Columbia & others but never have had such a good fit with literally no break-in. I immediately ordered my wife a pair.
Tim Tullos - 2008-04-22Great boot!
Great fit, light weight, good traction. Needed no break in.
Anonymous - 2008-03-25great comfort
normally my husband has to break shoes in. These fit like a glove and felt great the first time he wore them
Manish Lakhani - 2008-02-28Worm Enough
No Cold, No water .. and much much comfortable .. Good in all conditions.
Alan Rothman - 2008-02-13Excellent shoe
I have large narrow feet (14 slim) and find any shoe that fits hard to find. I bought this on a suggestion from a friend and find them to be comfortable, warm and dry. I've warn them in the cold and though some heavy slush and snow. No leaks, no cold, no cramps. Great shoes. Plan to wear them on an overseas hiking trip soon.
Anonymous - 2008-02-11Comfortable Fit for a Hard to Fit Foot
I usually wear a 14 AA slim - not your typical foot for anybody, especially for one who does off road driving and hiking. I bought these for both endeavors and have found that they fit well, are as comfortable to wear as my New Balance 811 walkers and offer excellent stability on the hiking trail. Plan to wear them for a 10 day hike through Israel very shortly. Great find!
Robert DeSear - 2008-02-06Nice lightweight boots, warm, dry, good snow traction
I've only used them for a half hour on pavement and a half hour on snow covered forest floor. Much lighter than my leather hiking boots.
Mark Enderlein 2-05-2008 - 2008-02-05My most comfortable hiking boot.
I purchased these Hiking Boots just before leaving on a 2 week trip to Peru. I tried them out before leaving and found them to be comfortable and supportive right out of the box. I wore them in Peru for one week in the Amazon Jungle and then for one week in the Machu Pichu/Cuzco area. The boots were nothing less than phenomonal! I would certainly reccomend these hiking boots to anyone looking for a quality, comfortable fit.
Rich TerHaar - 2008-01-30Great boot!
The boots fit very well, are very comfortable (and warm), and are a pleasure to wear. Have not yet worn them in wet weather, so can not speak for waterproof. But, all other aspects of the boot are great.
Judith G. Davis - 2007-10-04Fabulous
These are the greatest boots ever. My Husband wouldn't take them off. Hiking, walking and driving, no sore feet.
DEBBIE ROTH - 2007-08-28comfy and great for work or play
I PURCHASED THESE BOOTS FOR MY
HUSBAND AND HE IS VERY HARD TO
PLEASE. HE IS NOW GOING ON HIS
THIRD PAIR OF KEEN BOOTS AND
DOES NOT EVEN NEED TO BREAK
THEM IN. KEEN'S ARE FOR SURE
WINNERS. THE LIGHTEST AND MOST
COMFY BOOT OUT THERE.
Anonymous - 2009-08-05Not bad
Boot is very comfortable and provides the right amount of support in both the heel and arch. This is important because i found most boots either have good heel cushioning/support but little or no arch support, or vice versa. I normally wear a size 10 but as with all hiking boots I ordered them 10.5 and they fit good initially. The bad thing about any shoe is that you will not know how it will perform or really fit until you put it to use and if you do that, you will probably not be able to return them, because they have been "used". After wearing these boots for five days I feel a sort of choking point on the top of my left foot and I am also feeling the boots are a tad too small, since from time to time I can feel my toes hitting the front of the boot. I do not get any foot fatigue and they do seem to keep my feet dry. i should mention that I weigh 225 lbs. and this tends to make a big difference when trying out boots. I did try the Oregon PC's, since I read they had the best support - wrong! They were severely lacking in my opinion, in fact the Targhee II is much better in that regard. So, overall a good boot but consider ordering these one full size bigger than normal. Would I recommend? Yes, until Merrell can get their Radius II Mids refined so the eyelets do not keep breaking.
Carl Kinney - 2009-06-21Great Boot but beware...
I love Keen sandals, shoes and boots. I love that they fit my wide foot and the toe bumper is an excellent feature. However, pay attention to the eVent waterproof liner. Though it is very breathable compared to Gore-Tex, it seems to be a bit more vulnerable to wear or tear. So if you plan on wearing these boots often and in wet conditions, test them every couple of months - the eVent fabric does have a guarantee.
Michael McGlynn - 2009-04-12Comfortable out of the box
The fit was great. Quality is superb. Can't wait to hit the trail.
JAMES TODD - 2008-02-24Great hiking boot....very comfortable.
Probably one of the most comfortable out of the box boots I've ever owned. Did have to get 1/2 size larger for length. If there's one thing I'd like to see Keen address, the toe laces seem to tighten up as you wear the boot with hiking. I've heard one other person complain about this and may try a knot in the bottom lace criss-cross to stop the tightness from migrating to the toe area.
Neil Bangs - 2008-02-20short, roomy, slick when wet
I found this boot to run short and needed 1 full size larger than usual. On the other hand I like the roomy toe box. The sole is great until the terrain gets wet then I find it slips more than several other boots I own. This is my only real concern. The insole is light and I replaced it with one a bit stiffer. I find this boot comfortable and easy to hike in. It's light weight helps reduce fatigue.
Anonymous - 2009-08-09Make sure you size up!!!
Nice looking and built well, however, I wear a 10.5 and knowing that Keen sizes are small I ordered a 11 and they were too small as well. They would have been fine if I were only hiking on flat land, but going down hill my toe would be hitting the end of the boot and that's no fun...
Sutikare Oluwagbenga - 2008-01-21please note
Make SURE you order this shoe at least 1- 1 1/2 sizes larger than your normal footsize! I ordered it a size larger to accomodate an extra heavy sock and its still a bit pinchy! I like toe wiggle, and I'm hoping that the shoe will loosen up a bit, if not I'm going to be upset.
The shoe is comfortable, but still a bit tighter than I like my shoes to be.
Gereald - 2008-09-14comfortable boot , but sole came apart where they attach up the
I bought a pair of these because they felt so comfortable. After less then 4 months, the tabs that come up from the sole and attach on the side came loose. I tried gluing them but it never held.
Jason Schaefer - 2008-08-22good boot but.....
I purchased a pair of these at the beginning of July 2008, it is now the middle of August 2008 and the sole are coming apart. For $120 I expected a lot more life out of these boots. I would be hard pressed to ever purchase another pair of Keen boots after this experience.
