Lose Your Sole

Comfortable fit right out of the box, no break in period. Purchased in August 2022. Used exclusively by a homeowner, to do yard work one or twice a week. Mowing lawn, hedges, cleaning beds, trimming trees etc. In spring 2025 the soles separated from the upper shoe. Started on the toe on one shoe then the side of the other shoe. I did use Gorilla Glue to reattach and have been using them.

Great Grip

This is a very comfortable mid-weight hiking shoe. I used them to do a 8-mile hike on some tough trails and had great success. The trail was fairly rocky, but the shoes provided enough protection. What I was most impressed with was their grip on very steep inclines. At times there were 35-degree inclines on smooth rock and these boots did not slip. The waterproofing was also great and stood up to mud and streams. I did take one star off because after that hike the sloe started to come off the bottom of the shoe. On the plus side Keen took care of me, fast and easy sending me new boots.

These Shoes Are The 4th

These shoes are the 4th pair ot keen footwear that I own and I am totally satsfied. The previous pair of Targee I have, the right foot squeeked if I wore them for two or more consecutive days This pair is very comfortable, well made, and waterproof.

Great Hiking Shoe But Limited Tread

I love how comfy the Keen hiking shoes are. This is going to be my second pair. They are so comfy I wear them to my office job. The only con I have is the tread pattern is a little light. I think this shoe works best for general to moderate hikes but if you start doing more advanced hikes, may recommend getting something with a little more grip, especially in rocky, wet areas. The tread wears out quickly and used up the tread within one year of purchase.

Not Just For Hiking

I've purchased several pair of the Keen Targhee over the years and still own most of them. They are great for hiking but also work well for outdoor construction work and landscaping. Supportive and comfortable right out of the box without a breakin period.

Good Fit And Comfortable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shoes are comfortable out of the box. My only dissatisfaction is the strings are a little bit too short. Otherwise, good so far.

First Time Keen Was Wrong Size

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve worn Keens for over 20 years and this is the first time the size I always get was way too big. Not sure what that means but I returned them and now the next size smaller is out of stock. Go figure

When Will They Fall Apart?

I enjoy Keens, but they are very short-lived in their surface. Immediately comfortable,, but they fall apart far to0 soon. My recommendation to a friend will come with the caveat of "when?"

Comfortable

Great shoes. Been wearing them for years. Very comfortable and stylish. My go to shoe for everyday wear.

Heavier Than Expected For Price

When i pay $100 or more for shoes, i expect superb engineering and high quality product. The weight of this shoes doesn’t tell me there’s much engineering gone into it. I could have spent a quarter of the price on other brands and got same or better quality shoes.

Targhee Iii Have Changed

Shoes have a much better fit but the fit around the ankle has changed. They are now fit higher,about one half inch. It hits my ankle has takes some getting used to. Actually made me quite sore on initial use, a six mile country walk. Much better now after working on top edge of the shoe.

New Keen Work Shoes

My husband has been wearing Keen for several years. This new pair fits good and are comfortable

I Ordered Size 8.5; However,

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered size 8.5; however, the shoes feel like a size 9. I haven't been able to wear them because they feel too loose on my feet. There is too much space between my heel and the inside back of the shoes. I had ordered another pair of shoes from you in the past and didn't have issues with the fit.

Excellent Shoes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They fit perfect and are exactly what I was looking for!

Verified Purchase

This Is My 2nd Pair

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have purchased a close equivalent to this shoe from another well known hiking shoe manufacturer in the past and they did not measure up in any aspect of the performance of the KEEN model. The description of this shoe is 100% accurate. I will continue to purchase the KEEN brand. It is a durable and high quality shoe.
