Keen Targhee II Mid Hiking Boots - Men's

I tend to have trouble with most hiking shoes and boots that are too narrow in the toe area. This boot has a nice squared-off toe that provides enough extra room to avoid crowding. So far I have been able to keep a good fit by tightening the laces around the ankle enough that the foot doesn't slip forward on steep descents, but there is some side rolling that I can't seem to fix (probably because my feet aren't as wide as these shoes are made to accommodate). I would say that if you have a wider foot or feel like your to

My wife bought me these boots while we were in the long island store the sales man showed us these since I have a wide (EE) foot in the store they felt fine once we were out hiking in a PA state park my left foot started to burn and my heel was on fire . The sole was so soft you could feel a frozen pea . When I took them off my foot was killing me after trying them on 3 more times with the same results i returned them and REI took them back and was very helpful with advise on getting a different pair . I am a heavy weight so maybe a liter pers

these are nice boots, very comfy. HOWEVER The ankle support is not great but most of all the grip is terrible - i found myself struggling to stand up on some surfaces including damp side walks! I would try a different keen model - check the grip looks nice a sharp!

This is the second pair I have owned in the past year. First pair was taken back because the traction part of t

Tried on every size 15 mid hiker at the store, and they had several. Just a very comfortable, good looking boot. My feet are a

I wanted to like them at first site, they are light and have all the makings for a secure and comfortable fit, BUT the weight must have been sacrificed from the mid sole. You can feel every lug and contour of the sole even sitting with feet flat on the ground. Because of the sole height and narrow sole footprint, if you are not cinched up tight your ankles will roll!

This is my first pair of

Bought these 8 months ago. I have backpacked about 200 miles in them. The hard rubber sole is torn from the soft, running shoe type upper sole in several places. Took them to the Ouachita trail, Ozark Highland Trail and Colorado trail. The sole should not be torn away after this small amount of use. The grip is ok on slick rocks and the sole feels comfortable on rock. My heels never bruised. However; I purchased these one full size larger than my runners. Still got black toe twice, even using surgeons knot on

I tried on all the top boots for backpacking, i wanted something better than what i had, i have big feet, and there are not a lot of choices out there, also, all the $250+ boots, were to narrow and had a high arch, i have flat feet, so a high arch hurts,the keens are no way better made than the others, but for flat feet, size 14's,(needed 15's in the keens to fit right) they work good, i still want something better, these might last the year walking the 8 miles each way home in the rain forest, is all i ever got from the h

I wore these on a 12 day backpacking trip in New Mexico that covered over 100 miles. Many of the treads were falling off, they cause sore legs, they never dried out from my sweat, and I got a number of blisters on each foot in the same spots. I would not buy these again.

I have a difficult time finding boots due to wearing a small size. These fit great, secure and comfortable from the start. Felt good r

These boots did not require any break in time. They have a roomy toe box. I trained with a 30 lbs pack doing 3 miles walks and I took them on a 32 miles 5 day trip in the south si

Very comfortable great fit and support!

this felt great from the first day but I am already seeing the tread coming loose after 2-3 days of climbing on rocks and average hiking. I love how they fit and feel with the wide toe box. The durability is a worry and I am already thinking I will need some shoe goo to keep them together.

I used these for most of my PCT through-hike. They were comfortable right out of the box and stayed that way for about 400 miles (20 days). Then, with all 3 pairs, at 400-450 miles in the sole got lumpy to the point of being unwearable. The interior lining also wore away quickly in the heel, causing blistering on even my hoof-like

Comfortable fit. Waterproofing seems to work reasonable well. The laces are too thin and I replaced them because they tangled. The soles wear out quickly and are slick in some hiking conditions. An ok overall shoe, but overpriced.

I am a beginning hiker, trying to get more exercise. I have very flat, wide feet, and I am prone to pronate quite a bit.These boots have h

I bought these at an REI store a couple of days before a weekend backpacking trip in the Appalachians. In other words, I committed the cardinal sin of not breaking in my boots before tramping up and down mountains with a heavy pack on my back. Fortunately for me, these boots fit perfectly and required no break in, quite to my surprise. I've never had even a small blister with these boots, and my feet always feel great after taking long hikes in them. I've hiked in them in both hot and cold weather, in wet

Bought these for light hiking and wearing around cubscout camp. Rained all weekend and my feet were the only things warm and dry the whole time. Great pair of boots!

Very comfortable shoe for one with wide feet or with bunions. Good ankle support without putting too much constraint on ankle movement. Good for cross country travel; heavy enough for on-trail back packing. The only down side is that
