KEEN Women's Targhee 2 Mid Height Waterproof

I had a pair of Keen Targhee boots that lasted forever - like 10-12 years. The only reason I ordered these is because I wanted a bit more room to wear thicker socks and I liked the color of these. They are so cute! And, they are very comfortable and sturdy. They don't smell weird and the sole is nice and rugged. They are pretty lightweight and are waterproof. I got my husband and son to buy some of the men's Keen boots and they love theirs, too.

Love these boots. I bought them for a trip to the PNW and they did not disappoint. They hiked around the base of Mt. Ranier, along Hurricane Ridge, through the Hoh Rainforest and strolled along Ruby Beach. They also made the hike to the top of Multnomah Falls and down again. Kept my feet dry and warm. The tread is perfectly grippy and I even tried to slip and slide on the wet rocks and it was impossible. 10/10 would but again.

So happy with these boots and that’s saying a lot since I have so many foot problems. It’s always worrisome to buy shoes online so I’ll try to describe these best I can. First of all I won’t be making any 20 mile hikes. I’m over 70 and need boots to allow for my farm chores and bad weather, not mountain climbing, but if these work for me, how much better for those who are young and spry. I’ve overweight and my feet tend to swell quite a bit, plus I have fused big toe joints. I can no longer get tall boots on at all and even regular tennies can pose a problem if I can’t open them wide. I need a big toe box and decent width, but have narrow heels. I need a cushiony insole, but also arch support (flat feet), low heel to toe height ratio and a rocker bottom to help with my stride because of bad ankles. It seems an impossible set of requirements. So it was with great trepidation that I ordered these boots. Pretty much all I can wear anymore is what my grandchildren call my ‘Air Grammas’, thick leather New Balance shoes with a wide tongue and stabilizing sole. Boots and shoes I could wear previously have been relegated to the back of the closet. These include Mephisto walkers and Timberland and Ariat boots among others. Heels too high, tongues too narrow, not enough flexibility or too much, you name it. These boots offer easy on/off while even having an attached tongue to aid in waterproofing. The toe box is ample and the width good, but you have to order a half size up for length. I did that and they are perfect. Even though the toe box width is generous, the heel is narrow enough to eliminate slippage. The built-in ankle stabilization is very helpful and the modified rocker bottom makes walking relatively easy for me, which is quite something. Few boots offer that. The padded ankle collar and height is very comfortable. The sole at the heel is not much higher than that at the toe which also makes walking easier for me. The sole is sturdy, but flexible at the same time. The mid-foot support is surprisingly good for my flat feet and although I often replace insoles with orthotics or other insoles to help my various problems, the ones that come in these boots are great just as they are. Normally I wear a 9B although on some shoes the B is too tight. That’s a problem with my narrow heels because a wide width affects heel width too. I bought these in 9.5B and they are perfect. I kept the packing, so sure was I that I’d have to return the boots, but it can all go out now. There will be no return. Very happy indeed.

My second or third pair in a row of these great boots. Great fit even though I have narrow feet and a size 10.5 women's. Unfortunately after four years (yes, I ask a lot!) the lining of the toe box has begun to fold inwards and rub the ends of my toes, causing them to bruise and become very sensitive. Made the last eight miles in the mountains a bit uncomfortable. Even though these are still in good shape otherwise, I'll have to buy a new pair -- maybe even try another brand :-(.

I'm an avid fishing person and two weeks before our trip to Canada I decided I needed to buy a pair of waterproof hikers. I went to Gander Mountain and didn't like anything they had. Then to Fin Feather Fur. The sales person explained Keen hikers were made with more room in the front of the shoe or across the ball of the foot and toes, which has always seemed like an issue for me. I tried them on and fell in love! The shoes were comfy and roomy and had great arch support, which was an added bonus. However, my size wasn't in stock so I went home and checked Amazon. Not only did they have the exact same make and model, but this color was on sale for $40 less than FFF had them and they were eligible for Prime shipping so I had them within a few days. (Note: When I checked on the shipping status, the seller had it listed as arriving in five business days. I immediately sent an email that since the item was eligible for Prime I had to have them by Monday or I would return them. The hikers did arrive within the two business day time frame.) Wore them five days in Canada without any break in period and LOVED them. Comfy, no rubbing and I can vouch that they are, indeed, waterproof! When we recovered our boat, I was in ankle deep water and my feet stayed 100% dry! I couldn't be happier with this product and would guarantee that you would love them too!

I recently replaced my 20 year old heavy duty Columbias when their soles actually fell off during a hike. I'd been a bit envious of friends that had modern lighter boots that travel better. I bought these after I read two of the reviews that spoke to me, one being Nancy's "5.0 out of 5 stars Great for hikers with bunions!" where she and others also mention that the heel is good for us that have flipper feet: wide toes, narrow ankles. I also have had great experience with Keenes although I don't rely on brand names usually. I've worn these boots on two long and "hard" hikes so far without breaking them in. They've been great! Nancy and others are right about the toes, ankles and overall comfort. I'm guessing they will serve me well for several years of hiking and backpacking and traveling!

the most comfortable boots,fit and support whilst light and supple, certainly the best I've worn!

Supports the ankles very well for rough terrain hiking. Waterproof as well.

I love Keen shoes. Always comfortable, always a great fit. I wouldn’t buy any other brand for my long dog walks in all winds, weathers and terrains.

These just arrived (two days after ordering them with regular shipping -- thank you Amazon!), and they are on my feet as I write this review. They are SOOO freecking comfy. They feel like the comfiest sneakers only with killer good hiking boot support. I bought hiking socks to go with them and the combination is incredible. As I read reviews suggesting to buy a half size up I did that (Ordered a 9 when normally I'd be a 8.5 Wide) and that was excellent advise, plus lots of room for socks. Excellent arch support, lightweight, loads of support everywhere, very secure lacing system, easy to put on, they look amazing on, and they feel great with no foot shifting when I walk if you tie them properly. Have I said I love these boots??? These boots are my first KEEN product, and I am sold on this brand. They are (so far) worth every cent spent, and even there the price was very reasonable for excellent hiking boots. The description says the treads are SUV tires for your feet and they were not kidding! I am visually impaired so I need very safe footwear and outdoor gear, and these will be more than excellent for any hiking, trecking, or just walking to do chores etc I may have coming. Living on Vancouver Island in British Columbia Canada (west coast!) there is everything to do outdoors, and now I feel better equipped to take on the next mountain trail or waterfall hike my husband and I come across.

I bought a pair of these boots 3 years ago to go walking in the Grand Canyon and they are perfect for my rather wide feet. I've bought many other, fairly expensive, brands which all seem to have a pointy toe shape, and they always gave me blisters as my toes were too squashed together. These boots are, quite simply, the best! They have a rounder shaped, wide toe area which my feet love. There are clips near the ankle which hold the laces while you tie them - very useful. Just like my older Keens, I wore these boots without having to "wear them in" and as with my older ones, sheer comfort and no blisters! As suggested, you do need to buy a half size bigger than your normal shoe size. I am a regular walker and these boots have never let me down, even in wet conditions my feet have remained dry and comfortable. If you have wide feet, these boots will be perfect for you. I hope that Keen will continue to make the Targhee ll as these are the ones I will always buy. My first ones are still going strong, these are new and will last a few years, but I may even buy myself another pair, just to make sure I always have them!
