While the most important characteristic in Keen's Targhee II trail running shoe is the stability, the innovative breathable comfort steals the show when you're on the go. Unlike other trail running shoe manufacturers who opt for using the same waterproof membranes found on practically every running shoe on the market, Keen took a route less traveled and used a new eVENT® membrane fabric with Dry System Technology for better breathable comfort in wet weather. The difference is one that you can feel--most waterproof/breathable technologies require that perspiration condenses to moisture before it can pass through the membrane. eVENT® membrane fabric allows sweat to pass through in vapor form, so your feet don't feel soaked in sweat like you would in other weatherproof trail running shoes. Besides the dry socks, the Targhee II is exceptionally stable. In the heel you'll find Keen's S3 heel support structure, a special shock-absorbing design that's engineered to support your foot on impact, minimizing your chances of twisting an ankle on rolling terrain. Keen's Targhee II is a great shoe for covering big distances on damp days throughout the spring, summer and fall.
Fit Tip: These shoes tend to run slightly small. If you are in between sizes, size up.
Fantastic Shoes
I've relied on these shoes for 3 separate trips to Europe. Their versatility and durability has been something I've really appreciated - be it stomping through peat bogs in Scotland or wandering the streets of Spain.
Awesome!!!
I have purchased many, top name brand hikers in the past but this pair runs circles around them all. They are comfortable, stable, supportive and best of all the treads will give you traction to make you feel like you can go anywhere. If you are thinking of a new hiker you won't go wrong buying these!
A great shoe!
I've worn Keen shoes (various models) for several years now and have never been disappointed in their product. The Targhee II Shoe is the 2nd of this type Keen "hiker" for me and I still use the first pair for my yard shoes.

Around town or long hike
I bought these for my husband as a new pair of shoes for him to wear on short little 3 mile trail hikes. Well, he just recently went on a 12 mile hike with them and still had great things to say about them. Comfortable!
Awesome shoes, and I'm not exaggerating!
When buying my first pair of Targhee II shoes I searched for something with good arch support and no twist in the sole. None of the other brand names matched up to the Keens. After wearing them for 2 years I'm sold more than ever on the Targhees. Other than being a little scuffed and needing one minor seam repair, they're every bit as good as the first day I put them on.
Sturdy Performer
I bought my first pair of this shoe to replace Merrell's that gave up under the circumstances of my work in three months. The Keen lasted over a year which is saying a lot with the abuse they see. They have remained sturdy and comfortable and now I will begin breaking in a second pair to prepare for the inevitable demise of the first.
This is great everyday and treking shoe
This is my second pair of this shoe, I just love it. It has a perfect support for my almost flat feet, upper leather and fabrics are very resistant. It is perfect for everyday as for trekking. Only con is that sole is not as lasting as the rest of the shoe, I really hope Keen improves this.
Very nice!!!
This is my first pair of Keen boots. I have purchased Keen sandals in the past and loved them, and can definitely say the same for the Targhee II. Great fit, I love the toe compartment, and they really do a good job on slick, wet rocky terrain. I took them hiking at Kaiteur Falls in Guyana and they really came in handy over the wet rock and moist rooted jungle terrain. They also breathe well. Definitely will buy another pair someday.
Great Shoe
I bought these shoes to replace a pair of Merrells that I've had for about 4 years. I haven't taken them hiking yet (we'll be hitting some trails in Germany in September), but I've been wearing them at least once a week to break them in. They feel great and I look forward to getting them on the trail. One thing that drives me a little nuts are the loops on the back heel - if you're wearing pants they'll occasionally get hung up on the loops. No big deal, though - I could always cut them off if it becomes an annoyance. So far love the shoes and Altrec had them for a great price.
Lightweight, comfortable, awesome.
My first real hiking shoe - don't see a reason to try anything else.
great shoes
Awesome shoe, I'm a contractor and these shoes got me through three summers of rough abuse. Excellent shoe
Shoe fits great and has walked the Nile
I am very pleased with these shoes. I wear size 12 and found reviews were right to order a size larger. Size 13 fits perfect.
awesome shoe!
The first time I bought this shoe, I paid full price at a shoe store at my local mall. I loved the shoe in every way; it is the most comfortable footwear I have ever owned! I wear them to work, kicking around my yard, and on my weekend outdoor excursions...in every situation they keep my feet dry and comfortable. When it came time to buy a new pair I found your site and was happy to find I could buy the same awesome shoe for a much lower price than I paid at the mall. Thanks!
Best Hiker I've Ever Worn
I've had my share of problems with hiking boots and shoes in the past. I usually wear them around the house before going on any long jonts. But with the Keen's I wore them 3 days after receiving shipment on a 6.2 mile Volksmarch to the top of Crazy Horse Memorial Mountain in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Great comfort and I highly recommend these to anyone. I got a half size larger than I normally wear, and I strongly recommend doing so.
great shoe
this is the second pair I've owned. very comfortable. great for hikes or just walking around.
Great Shoes!
These are a really great pair of shoes. They are comfortable and airy. Take note of this: I got half a size bigger than what I usually wear (as suggested by several reviews), but they were too big for me.
great shoe,does run small though
This is my third pair of Targee's. Great shoe,offers much more support than sneakers for everyday use and has a large toe box which works out well for me as I have wide feet.Keen dry works well also.They initally feel a little stiff which caused some heel slippage but they break in rapidly and that resolves itself.
Great shoes!
I'm a nurse and work on my feet 10-12 hours a day and needed a pair of shoes that didn't make my feet ache at the end of the day. I also underpronate and have plantar fasciitis, and since my other Keen shoes work really well, I thought I'd try these shoes. I am SO glad I did. I feel like I'm walking on pillows and no aching feet when I get home! The only 'bad' part is my feet get pretty hot, but they still feel great! They are very worth it...thanks Keen and Altrec for sending these great shoes right away!!!
Good shoe
These are my 4th pair. I use them for my job in construction - comfortable and great for mornings with wet grass. They dont last as long as boots as the fronts start to separate from the rest of the shoe after 6 months, but I think that's any shoe when it gets hard use.
A very comfortable and supportive shoe.
The shoe is very comfortable and sturdy. Keens tend to run about a half size small but I was aware of that before ordering. I would reccommend this shoe to a friend.
great shoes...... :)
great shoes. I have several pairs. The water proof feature is great. Comfortable.
Great shoe
Always size up on these.. They fit snug. Very happy and these are my second pair. Great fit and comfort. Rugged.
Keen Shoes
I like the wear of the Targhee and Voyager. The Targhee doesn't breath as well but provides more protection. I recommend these shoes to anyone doing serious outdoor activities.
The most comfortable shoe I've found
I wear this shoe every day for work. As I am on my feet all day these proved to be the answer for tired sore feet. Great stability, arch and heel support. I had an arch problem in my left foot and my podiatrist actually recommended this shoe. It has helped immensely. Added plus, they look good. Thanks Altrec for great service!
Incredible comfort and looks... Just size up.
I love the comfort of this shoe. I am a high school science teacher and am on my feet all day. After wearing these shoes all day, my feet felt great! They work great in class and for a casual night out as well as on the trail. On the trail they are sturdy, grip well and feel like the extension of my foot they should be. I am a 10.5 in my New Balance runners. I go with the wide foot model. The Targhee II size I bought was an 11.5. So, if you have a wide foot, size up.
AWESOME!!!
Great shoe! Most comfortable shoe I have owned in years. Keendry work great on keeping your feet dry even in wet conditions.
really comfortable and stable
Great shoe, good fit right out of the box. Your site had many colors and sizes to choose from.
Great shoes!
I have bought those shoes for my boyfriend already for the third time, pretty much every year now. They look good, they are functional for his job and weekend hiking. I would recommend to everyone.
Best shoes EVER
Awesome fit, large toe box, lots of space for toes, easy on, easy off, once you get past the look they are AMAZING, typical chunky look from KEEN. reflective material great for visibility at dusk, waterproof holds up great, not much ankle support though. Round laces loosen frequently, great traction on wet/icy surfaces. Fairly breathable, won't stink much after full day in them.
Best shoes I've ever owned
I liked my Keen Targhee shoes so much I bought a pair for my four sons for Christmas. All of them said, "They're the most comfortable shoes/boots they've ever had!" A classic like father like son.
TOP COMFORT: VERY SHORT LIFE
Possibly the most comfortable shoe in my 60 years of climbing and walking, alas they are totally worn out in just 9 months of urban hill walking keeping fit with 5 days per week and an average of 7 km pr day
which in my calculations is approx. 1260 km which equates to nearly 16 c pr km. I can run my SUV for the same price!
my mother has worn these constantly for two years. that says it.
I bought the first pair for my mother and she has worn them every single day for two years. No kidding!! She is a big walker. She loves them….. obviously.
It is only now after two years of constant wear that the heels are beginning to wear. The uppers are perfect. So I am getting her a second pair. I myself bought a pair based on mothers feedback. They just love my feet I have to say.
My 2nd pair, as comforable as the first.
This is my second pair of Targhee's. Buying larger size shoes is always hard, these size 15's are very comfortable and suit all day wear. These will be my shoes of choice for my touring holiday of Europe in November.
Have 3 pairs of Keen's, love them all
Ordered them all in half size larger. Very comfortable and feel good all day long. Seems they are going to be durable. Liked them so well, ordered them for wife and daughters and even son-in-laws.
awesome shoes
I wear them every day and love love love them. Comfortable enough for tooling around town or extended hikes around the mountains. Living and playing in colorado requires good footwear and these shoes are it!!!
Great Shoes
These shoes are great! They are amazingly comfortable and fit perfectly.
great shoes but size them for fit carefully
I just bought my first pair of Targhee II low cuts after having good luck with my pair of Targhee II high tops. My normal shoe size is a 10, but my high tops were a 10.5 -- and were still a bit snug if I wanted to wear thick socks, but nothing I dwelled. For my low cuts, I decided to try an 11 and really like them much better. I need a bit of room. I have a pair of Keen Austins that are a 10. Pretty difficult for me to predict Keen sizes, and that makes it tough when I'm trying to order online.
Great Pacific Northwest Walking Shoe
I walk approximately 1.5 miles on sidewalks during my commute -- rain or shine -- and these shoes are the best I've had. They breathe during the summer months and they keep my feet dry the rest of the year. I require a wide toe box and good arch support in my shoes. Both these features are found in the Targhee II’s design. For the best fit, I buy Targhee IIs that are 1/2 size larger than what I would buy in a typical hiking boot.
Sure a nice fit
Lots of support, great feel, comfortable to say the least. Worth all of the pennies that I shelled out.
everything turned out great
I had to search for the shoe I wanted and here is where I found it. The price was within a dollar or two of everybody, but these folks had my size (11.5) The shoes are terrific and are my second pair. The first pair lasted 2 years with constant wear.
A great all around hiker
Probably the best all around shoe for long walks and serious hikes. You feel the great support with every step.
A cool and different-feeling low hiker.
They feel different than any other hiker I've ever worn. At first you feel like you're more on top of the shoe rather than "in" it, which is a bit unsettling until you realize it works and feels great, with little forefoot pressure and lots of stability and support. Love the fog/tea color that seems hard to find locally.
comfortable walking shoes
I walk 10 miles a day on concrete and wear orthopedics because of diabetic foot problems. These shoes are comfortable for a long period of time and support my feet well. And they breathe nicely in the warm weather!
excellent shoe
I have been buying custom made White's boots because I have trouble with my feet/arches. However, my wife bought me a pair of Keen sandals for our trip to Panama and when we looked into what might be offered by Keen in a regular shoe, we found the Targhee 11. I have retired my boots for all but use in heavy salvage work. A very comfortable shoe with great support.
Super nice and confortable shoes
I have no complaints about this shoes. They are nice, warm and comfortable.
In fact, I'm buying another pair of the same model, but different color.
Great shoe
Targhee II is a great shoe. A great sole that is comfortable though stiff enough to handle rocky hikes.
light as a feather; can push farther
Feels great, and great traction; used to my old leather mountaineering boots. What a switch.
Great, truly waterproof hiker!
Bought these to pre-hike racing trails, but have also been using them for disc golf- which has been plenty sloppy this spring! I stay dry in standing water & rain, and also love the wide spaced lugs as the sole cleans out instead of packing with mud.
Great shoe, great price
I purchased these after they got the best value recommendation in Backpacker magazine. What a great choice! The shoes fit very well - even with a size 14 foot. I recently took them through a rocky day hike that included crossing several small run-off streams. My feet stayed comfortable and dry to the very end. Highly recommended.
Good trail shoe at a good price
Don't take my word for it. Backpacker magazine just reviewed the Targhee II and gave it high marks for durability and functional features. The sticky soles are handy, plus the deep lugs work well on trails. And the forefoot is wider than any other shoe I've tried - even shoes marked WIDE. You can pay more money for specialty shoes, but this is a great trail shoe for those of us who hike/jog/scramble/lurch on dayhikes.
One terrific shoe
I bought these for my husband after purchasing the same shoe (targhee) for my kids. He loves them. Says they fit like a glove and are extremely comfortable. And very durable.
Logical Shoe Choice
Lightweight, weather resistant, very comfortable.
Comfortable from the get go.
Great support, 1/2 size larger as advised from earlier commentor, but very good support and feel good all day
Great fitting waterproof shoe
I love these shoes. I bought the first model that came out, and really thought I should buy another to store away for when these wear out. So I found this one on sale and snapped it up. I love the blue color. They fit my feet really well, and seem to be sized true. They do take a couple of days to break in. And once broken in, they're totally comfortable and quite durable. Totally waterproof as well. A great shoe, regardless of price.
Awesome shoe
I bought the Keen TargheeII as a "trial" since my feet were killing me from a previous pair of trail runners, and have been thoroughly impressed. From the great look, to a super fit, only the best. I highly recommend.
Awesome!
These are really sweet shoes. Lightweight, super comfy. I'm usually always a size 10, but I had to order a 10.5 in these though, as they fit a little snug. If you get them sized right, you'll be really happy!
PERFECT!
I loved the shoes the moment I put them on. What an excellent fit. I have a narrow heel and was concerned about slipping out of the shoe. But the strapping that surrounds the back tightened the heel perfectly. I'd read several reviews about the soles coming off of the first generation of the Targhee, so I was looking forward to the improved Targhee II. So far, so good. I highly recommend it.
Comfort&Style Are Combined For A Great Shoe
Keens feel so good on my feet.This is the 4th pair I have purchased in the last few years. They look & feel great.
Keen comfortable and great performance but...
These shoes like my Keen Newport sandals are incredibly comfortable. I have read that some of these do not hold up but mine are fine so far. The only issue I have is the tongue is a bit strange and does not sit well in the shoe. This creates limited snugness towards the ankle and the result is some upward heel movement. Otherwise great performer.
Comfortable shoe, not so good durability
I just ordered my third pair. The first pair were returned after about a month due to a blown out lace loop. I had the replacement pair about 9 months, and the rubber toe cap has delaminated, allowing water to leak in. The poor durability is offset by the fact that this is the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned.
A nice every shoe
The low profile Keen's Targhee two is a great every day shoe. Went one 1/2 size bigger for comfortable fit, used hiking foot pads to get more comfort. Would wear the high profile shoe for hiking to get more ankle support.
Nice comfortable shoes!
I've been wearing a pair of Keen Newport H20 sandals for the last 3 years and they're my favorite pair of footwear for Southern California. I bought the Targhee II for my 6-month trip coming up in March. I'll be to Europe, Asia and NZ. There'll be lots of city walking and a few alpine hiking trips with distances over 100 miles each. I'll be carrying a light backpack (25-28 lbs). Since my 3-yr old Keen sandals are still in good shape, I expect these should last the trip w/o a problem. The quality is typical Keen, which is superb. The mid-section is a tad tight with hiking socks. As they're relatively new, maybe they'll stretch more with time. The foot bed is stiffer than my Newport H20 but still comfortable, which is what I want for this long trip. As for the waterproofing, I've yet to test it. I'll give another review upon my return next Fall. Happy trails...
DO NOT BUY THESE BOOTS!
In the 5 months I've had these boots I've had to glue the soles 3 times and now the stitching is coming apart. I don't even do much serious hiking. I could have paid half the price for High Techs or Merrells and they would be showing little wear at this point. Keen is highly overrated and an inferior product.
