Review: Comfortable, Quality, Smart Design. - Five stars so far..I bought a full size up from my normal size 6 (yes, I am a really small guy) because I wanted room for thick wool socks for a hiking trip. I would have bought a 6.5 size but not available so jumped to 7's. The most hiking I do these days is across the parking lot at work and up 3 flights of stairs to my desk so the padding is a must for my soft soles. I hate buying shoes because they never have my size. My feet are very wide and I have no arches which makes finding the right fit even harder. Usually it takes several painful days for me to break in shoes. These Keen Targhees are "amazing" and I am not exaggerating. They were comfortable from the moment I put them on. I had on thin socks so I cinched the laces, they snugged up nice and tight and fit great. I put on extra thick wool socks and loosened the laces and they still fit great. Today, I wore thick Merino wool socks out in 90 degree humid Missouri weather and my feet sweated less than wearing cotton dress socks and leather loafers in the office. I am not kidding. Another thing, Usually when you get a pair of shoes and try them on, even if they feel good at first, you'll usually find a "hotspot" that seems like something wasn't sewn right and will start to rub and you think, "Well, I'll just have to put up with it until my foot toughens up in that spot. There has been none of that with these shoes. So, I've worn these every day for a week or so and here's my take so far. - Mid-weight and comfortable out the box. -The lacing system allows for a wide variety of fits in a singe shoe and is very sturdy. It incorporates a strap that goes around your heel that allows you to tighten the heel fit so your shoe doesn't rub up and down on your heel when walking. Nice touch. -While water proof, these shoes are breathable and my feet have stayed nearly dry. -The inner-sole is removeable and washable and adds great padding. -The arch support is just right. Some shoes go way over the top with it which can actually put too much pressure on your arch and wind up hurting. These are a sensible mid-range that should work well with many foot arch types. -The fully covered rubber toe cap is legit. It is flexible but seems substantial enough to protect the front end from wear and tear and should extend the life of the shoe. It is NOT steel toe and you are not going to scale any vertical rock faces wearing these. -I don't care about brand names or if my gear matches and even less about fashion but have to say these have a bit of style to them. I've been wearing them with dress slack to work to break them in and have actually gotten a couple compliments. -The soles are flexible but don't seem so thin that you'll feel every little rock you step on. -The fabric loops for the laces are reflective so I would not recommend these for ninjas. Obiviously these are first impressions. I can't say these are the best shoes ever (yet) because I havent put them to the test. That's next week in Colorado if we can find a trail that hasn't gotten blown out by streams flooded by snow melt. But, so far, these shoes have proven to be quality and my admiration for comfortability and attention to design has grown immensely. Update 07/15/2015: The boots were great. They grip well on rocks and uneven terrain. My feet did not blister! :) I wore extra thick merino wool sock wich helped but I attribute it to design as well. My brother had a pair of Vasque boots which have a narrower toe configuration and his toes blistered fairly quick. I'm really happy with this purchase and highly recommend these boots. Review: My favourite boot - A really good hiking/ walking shoe. These are the only shoes/boots that I have been wearing for the past 10 years. They are wide boots and lace up as tight as you want, to offer comfortable feet all day long whether it be hiking, riding your atv, or doing yard chores. They toe cap is super valuable as it protects you from accidental bumps and scrapes. Just a great functional boot for this 65 year old guy. ## Features - WATERPROOF & PROTECTION: KEEN.DRY breathable membrane keeps feet dry and comfortable by allowing vapor out without letting water in; Bruise plate for protection on uneven surfaces; High abrasion rubber toe guard for added durability - MATERIAL & CONSCIOUSLY CREATED: Durable premium leather and breathable performance mesh; Quick dry lining for active use; KEEN sources hides from Leather Working Group certified tanneries; Environmentally friendly DWR helps keep leather from drying out - TRACTION: KEEN ALL-TERRAIN rubber provides high traction grip in muddy environments and on rocky surfaces; 4mm multi direction lugs provide optimal traction for sure footing; Non marking rubber outsoles leaves no imprints when walking indoors - SUPPORT & COMFORT: External Support Shank and mid cut height adds balance and ankle support; Contoured heel for stability; Removable footbed with arch support cradles to the foot’s shape; Resilient cushioning doesn’t compress quickly after extended use - FIT & CARE: KEEN Original Fit gives generous space for toes to spread out; Gently brush leather with a soft bristle brush or hand towel to remove loose dirt and debris; Tough stains may require a leather cleaner ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008J5F8NC | | Best Sellers Rank | #21,797 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #9 in Men's Hiking Boots | | Boot Form Type | Hiking Boot | | Boot Shaft Height | 4 Inches | | Brand | KEEN | | Closure Type | Lace-Up | | Color | Shitake/Brindle | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 13,597 Reviews | | Embellishment Feature | Fabric | | Fabric type | 100% Leather | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00887194014453 | | Heel Type | No Heel | | Included Components | Manufactuered Brand Product | | Insole Material | Textile | | Item Type Name | Hiking Boots | | Item Weight | 20 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Keen Adults - US SHOES | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Warranty | | Material Fabric | Plastic | | Model Name | Targhee 2 Mid Height Waterproof | | Occasion | casual | | Origin | Imported | | Outer Material | Leather | | Pattern | Solid | | Seasons | Spring | | Shaft Circumference | 5 Inches | | Shaft height | 4 Inches | | Shoe Height Map | High-Top | | Sole Material | Rubber | | Sole material | Rubber | | Style Name | Targhee 2 Mid Height Waterproof | | Style Number | 1008418 | | Subject Character | Professional | | Toe Style | Closed Toe | | UPC | 887194014453 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Waterproof | | lining-description | Fabric | ## Images ![KEEN Men's Targhee 2 Mid Height Waterproof Hiking Boots - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81sSI-fhtjL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comfortable, Quality, Smart Design. *by G***D on June 21, 2015* Five stars so far..I bought a full size up from my normal size 6 (yes, I am a really small guy) because I wanted room for thick wool socks for a hiking trip.

I returned the size 10, no questions asked for an immediate full refund. Boots are high quality and even look relatively fashionable. They look like casual shoes. But dont let that fool you. These are serious hiking trail shoes. Bought them for a trip to Iceland- the land of fire and ice. I had them for about 3 days before I left, and wore them every day to break them in. I didnt do alot of walking during the break-in period but shoes were comfortable as soon as I put them on. So the real test was in Iceland. For 7 days straight I put these shoes through the paces. I walked volcanic trails, glacier trails, muddy trails and rocky trails. My footing always felt solid and though with minimal break-in, the shoes were always comfortable. I "accidentally" tested their waterproof claim many times and at no time was I disappointed. I fell into a number of small rivers hiking to waterfalls with my shoe fully immersed in water. Though I was expecting the worst, it never happened. My socks and feet remained dry. I also went to Ukraine and walked five or six miles a day on hard surfaces in these shoes. Once again, they provided great support and my feet never felt stressed. When I walk too far, my heels begin to hurt, but I never experienced this with these shoes. I attribute it to the fact that these boots appear to have a "squared off" heel which I believe, results in a higher surface area coming in contact with the ground when you walk. This would result in less pressure per square inch. I could be wrong but either way, These boots are highly recommended ## Frequently Bought Together - KEEN Men's Targhee II Mid Height Waterproof Hiking Boot - Keen Men's, Targhee III Waterproof Mid Hiking Boots - KEEN Men's Targhee II Low Height Waterproof Hiking Shoe --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/10220053-keen-mens-targhee-2-mid-height-waterproof-hiking-boots](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/10220053-keen-mens-targhee-2-mid-height-waterproof-hiking-boots) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
