After one week of wearing the shoes, my expectations of fit and comfort are being met. A bonus, the shoes are also easy to put on.

Really wanted to love the shoe, but the 2 piece sole keeps separating. I have tried super glue on them and it still doesn't hold long. They maybe fine for casual wear thats it. If you plan on hiking in any rocky terrain, doing even yard work, stay away, and don't even think about using a shovel (it'll tear the keen logo right off the bottom). Also they are the most slippery shoes on wet rocks I have ever worn.

I have been wearing Targhee II mid and low exclusively since 2005. Please do not discontinue.

This is my favorite version of this shoe. All day comfort and wears like iron. Toebox is wider than most which makes it nice. Local retailer said he could not get it. Thankfully I can still get it on the website. Please don’t discontinue this shoe!

I purchased several pairs of Target 11 for my husband and I. Both of us have large feet, and find it difficult to obtain sizes north of 13 for women or 17 for men. Gratefully, we are enjoying these shoes. They are very comfortable with a wide toe base and great arch support. We can hike in them or run around town for various errands. Folks often compliment us on them. We can wear them with nice casual attire or dressed down with jeans or shorts. The shoes are well built, and I think they can last north of a decade. They really are beautiful shoes all around.

I am appreciative that they are now water proof as I live in Seattle and walk my dog daily, rain or shine. The one thing that every pair of Keen’s I’ve owned have in common and I wish could be addressed, is that the laces being used stretch out with use. I’ve had other similar brands/styles and their laces don’t seem to stretch out like Keen’s. Other than that “issue” I love mine and just cut the laces if they get too long.

I have been wearing Keen for years. The best quality, comfortable and durable boots/ shoes.

This is my second pair of Targhee II shoes. I especially like the large toe box. The shoes are comfortable and supportive. They are my primary foot covering and I wear them everywhere,, except when I'm wearing a suit.

I’ve worn these boots all over the U. S. , from the Knobstone Trail in Indiana to Fairytale Falls in Yellowstone, Wyoming. These boots are awesome. I’ve put over 200 miles in them across some pretty rough terrain and they perform well. I like the tread on them, it’s best for dirt/mud, and the waterproofing is great, assuming you don’t go too deep and it comes in from the top. They are very comfortable and I have less issued with getting blisters in these compared to other hiking boots. I prefer the low Target II’s over the Targhee IV’s. They seem to have a different sole, but I’ve had nothing but success with them.

This is my third pair of the Targhee ll. My first pair have over a 1000 miles on them & still are in wearable shape. The only issue I've had with this model is some minor tread issues. This model is a better fit for my foot than the newer models of Keen shoes.

These guys are a bit heavy, but I guess that’s what you get when you buy a quality shoe that can take on any of your hiking, walking, and heavy duty projects you throw at them. And I use them “a ton”! This is now the only non-dress shoe I buy.

First, the shoe fit me very well and was comfortable right out of the box. It is perfect for day hikes, and provides excellent traction on scrambles and slippery ground. The waterproofing is excellent, my feet never got wet walking through puddles or shallow streams. This shoe is great except for one thing, and to me, it's a deal breaker: after less than a year of moderate wear, the sole began separating from the midsole. This happened with both shoes in the mid foot, the heel and even a little on the forefoot. I've had to shoo goo these soles several times and I'm about ready to cut my loses and get another pair. It's almost as if Keen has a planned obsolescence strategy. Very disappointing.

I've purchased two pairs of your targhee ll in the past year. Both of them the tread has came unglueed. The newest pair came apart in the first month. Very poor workmanship for the cost of your product! I have a pair from four years ago that are in better shape!
Emily W.
The Targhee II is my go-to shoe for working outside in various weather conditions. I love them so much, I should probably buy another pair to alternate with, but these Keens outperform all other shoes I've used. Devoted customer for life!
