Product Description

Lacing up the Keen Men's Targhee Mid II Hiking Shoes is like shifting your feet into four-wheel drive. Their 4mm lugs grab rough terrain, while the waterproof and super-breathable eVENT insert keeps your feet dry. The dual density, compression-molded EVA midsoles cushion and absorb shock so you can return to the trailhead without achy feet. The mid-height cut protects your ankle from rolls and twists, and Keen's S3 heel support structure cups your heel so you experience less slippage and less blisters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, October 26, 2006

By	S. Feher (Placitas, NM) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I first found these boots I was so pleased with the comfort and wider toe box. I had never tried on Keens before. I bought these boots, and I hike daily in the mountains near my home, and the cushioning and comfort were great. Unfortunately, within two months the darker rubber part of the soles began separating from the main sole, so I took them back. I do have two other pairs of Keens that I love, though it would be nice to have hiking boots with the comfort of Keens that would last.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4 wheel drive for your feet, December 13, 2005

By	microjoe - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

From the same company that makes the terrific "Newport H2" sandal with the super natural "metaomical design" fit. The Keen Targhee is like wearing a Humvee for your feet. It with waterproof construction for dry feet and an agressive outsole with 4 millimeter lugs that bite deep into the terrain for excellent traction. And they have the famous Keen toe bumper.

It is very waterproof as I can attest to. The waterproof leather upper helps keep feet dry on rainy days and muddy trails. It has an interior waterproof liner bootie too. The special carbon rubber outsoles are similar to the ones on the Keen Sandals, very grippy and non-marking, and they never seem to show any wear. They are multi-directional and dig in, but are not slippery on wet surfaces like rocks or cement in rain or surf. They come in few colors, but the colors have weird names. "Shadow" is an olive for example.

It has a good secure fit laceup capture system that do not come untied like my other tennies did. THe straps have a little reflective feature to them. Htey have a nice pull-on strap at the heel. They are light in weight at only 14 ounces for the pair. On sizing, I reccommend buying one full size larger than usual.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not waterproof, December 29, 2008

By	Cate (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews

I've been wearing these boots in the snow and mud. The front ends (toe ends) of the shoes are wet inside after walking in the snow for several miles. I don't agree with the Keen website that says, "The shoe is revamped with the KEEN.DRY waterproof breathable membrane to keep your feet dry and comfortable" nor do I agree with the amazon.com description above that there is a "waterproof barrier". These boots are not waterproof. (My previous boots had Goretex lining and they were waterproof.)

I bought a bigger size than usual. From the Keen website: "As a general rule, go up 1/2 size from your standard shoe size then work from there..." My feet tend to be a bit wide, so I bought men's shoes. They fit well and are comfortable. I love the roomy toe area.

One other criticism is the laces come untied easily. I have to double-knot them (not unusual, but worth mentioning).

Although Keen offers a one year warranty on these boots and the lining is printed with "guaranteed waterproof", I contacted Keen and they were not very receptive to dealing with the problem. The boots today are still wet inside from two days ago. I regret buying these shoes.
