I don’t put the blame entirely on keen. I probably should’ve read the details more closely, but in the variety of colors offered in the sales promo they mixed some that are leather with some that are not. No complaints about the fit or the quality of what I got but it’s a glorified tennis shoe, rather than the stiffer more supportive leather. I wish that people in the sales staff would not mix the ones that are leather and ones that are some synthetic material. They may turn out to be good but since I’m older I like the support that the leather gives. perhaps some will like the flexibility of whatever this material is . I still will purchase keen but I will be careful to get leather.

I bought these shoes once my hi tec tarantula fell apart after 4 months. I had them for a year without doing hikes in them - just dog walks in the park. They fell apart after a year. I love keen design and wide fit - these were my 4th keen pair ( however the second pair that were for hiking) The fit and feel in them is great, very comfy. They are waterproof. However for a price tag on those I expect better quality and resilience especially for not too demanding activities

Easily the worst hiking shoes I've ever bought, major waste of $150. Avoid at all costs unless you want pain shooting up your feet and legs.I wear steel-toed Keens for work and usually have a pair of Keen hikers for personal use. Most of those have good arch support and the wide toebox that I like.The footbed is very poorly designed. It's actually higher on the outside than on the inside under your arch, so it tilts your feet inwards and all your weight rests on your midsole, rather than being spread out across the foot. I have no idea how or why they did that, as it's the opposite of every other shoe design. It almost feels like the shoe designers mixed up left and right at some point.I tried wearing them for over a month, hoping they would break in, which was a ... MoreEasily the worst hiking shoes I've ever bought, major waste of $150.

It's better with some proper insoles, but the bad design extends to the footbed, so there's not too much you can do.Hard to believe this is the same Keen that makes other lines of high-quality with good orthopedics. A very low quality product. After reading other reviews here, not very optimistic these will last long either.

I'll start by saying I am a loyal Keen customer and swear by their shoes, especially since experiencing two severe foot injuries in recent years. Keen shoes were the only ones I was able to wear during recovery. I bought these boots in early 2022 to wear for my job, which requires all-black boots. My first impression was that they were lightweight, had great traction, and were easily the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn (not just boots, literally all shoes). I was able to stand on concrete in them for hours upon hours without pain, which is something I have never experienced before. They are easy to run in too, and as someone who has a narrow-to-average width heel but a very wide forefoot, Keen's wide toe box is a necessity.These boots need some ... MoreI'll start by saying I am a loyal Keen customer and swear by their shoes, especially since experiencing two severe foot injuries in recent years.

My first impression was that they were lightweight, had great traction, and were easily the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn (not just boots, literally all shoes). I was able to stand on concrete in them for hours upon hours without pain, which is something I have never experienced before. They are easy to run in too, and as someone who has a narrow-to-average width heel but a very wide forefoot, Keen's wide toe box is a necessity.These boots need some improvements, however. After less than two months of light wear (walking only, maybe 2-3 miles a week, mostly indoors on carpet), the tread on the right boot began to crumble and break off in the toe/ball of foot area. I eventually had to buy shoe glue and paste it back together. That did fix the problem, though, and the actual tread itself seems to be durable--it's the adhesive that's useless. Due to the legendary comfort, I kept wearing these for work and didn't have any other issues with the tread after I glued it back on.The bigger disappointment came here recently, when I was working out in the rain and stepped into a puddle. It wasn't raining hard and the puddle was probably two inches deep, but I felt the water soak through the toe area of my boots almost immediately. Soaked my feet straight through, and they stayed wet for the remaining 6 hours I had them on--I rung water out of my socks once I got them off. The boots took more than a day to dry out too. These boots might qualify as "water-resistant" for light use, but they are not waterproof. I'd understand if the water ran into the boots from the top, where the waterproofing ends, but these leaked through the toes of the boots.Since wet feet is something I generally try to avoid, especially for prolonged periods of time, I'm now torn between buying these again and hoping my other pair were duds, or going with a different brand that has all-black boots which are reputed to be actually waterproof. If and when Keen makes these better, or makes one of their similar models waterproof, I will jump at the chance to try them.
I'm on my fourth pair. I wear them every day and put on lots of mileage on all sorts of terrain. Very pleased with my past pairs of Targhees and expect these to do as well. They fit my wide feet with their regular fit (don't require their wide version) and leave enough room for my toes to be happy. I also like that they are water proof. The sole wears exceptionally well and is grippy on wet surfaces. Eventually the footbed goes soft and no longer supports my foot, then its time for a new pair! But I feel they last much better and longer than the competition's similar style
I bought a pair of Keen Targhee boots back in 2017. Since then, I've put about 1000 miles of hiking, day wear, and two deployments on them. They are still waterproof and have continued to get more comfortable the longer I wear them. The bigger toe area on this shoe is great for anyone who has a wider foot. They did require a little bit of a break-in period where I got a couple blisters. However, after that I can't remember getting a single blister. I would rate the angle support for this shoe to be slightly above average. If you plan to do any steep climbing where you need good toe holds, I would not recommend this shoe. The bigger toe makes it very difficult to find a decent toehold when climbing steep inclines.
Despite the video overview stating that the II and III have the same nice wide toe box, they definitely do not. The II is the original width but the III has the curve over by the small toe that makes the toe box significantly narrower. This is the problem with Keen. They don’t really understand what originally worked and make arbitrary changes that don’t align with their original success. I got tired of buying and returning these things. Wide toe box must be at least 5 inches across widest part of the foot sitting flat without getting restricted. I wish they would get it right again.
The fit was not the same compared to the Targhee Vent mid or Targhee III shoes.The EXP mid was very narrow. (12.5 men's). To avoid any possibility of material stretch, I held the soles up to each other. Comparing to 2 (old) pairs of Vent and one (new) pair of III, the soles were actually 1/4"-3/8" narrower. This made the upper too narrow for my feet. I buy Keens because they are marketed as having a large toe box, which I have found true compared to other brands of hiking boots. (Except for this pair). I was told other reviews show the company may have changed something with sizing but found a new pair of III's fit like my previous Vents.
Quite Disappointing purchase unfortunately. I have been an avid supporter of keen products over the years however these have been the first really disappointing purchase I have made. I bought these just over a year ago and a few months after using them, the top of the right boot ripped - compromising the waterproof-ness of the boot.Recently the grippy bits on the tread have started to peel off (almost as though they were glued on but the glue began to stop working).Additionally the sole of the boot is very thin and it makes walk on any sort of rocks quite painful after a while. You can feel everything through the bottoms of the boots and I often have bruised feet after a multi-day tramp.My partner and I are avid hikers and tramp all over the country. We both ... MoreQuite Disappointing purchase unfortunately. I have been an avid supporter of keen products over the years however these have been the first really disappointing purchase I have made.

We both have these boots and have both had multiple issues in the first year since purchasing them.Bottom line: I would spend a bit more money and get a more durable boot. This will ultimately save you money in the long run.
Iv'e worn several different styles of Keen footwear over 20 years and have always been impressed with quality, fit and performance. The Keen Targhee does not disappoint. I've been wearing them around the two foot deep snow of early winter. Very effective water proofing and very comfortable fit except my right foot is a 1/2 smaller than my left so the foot tends to slide up and down around the heel. I could by two pair of the different sizes. Not. The Targhee are very stylish and sturdy with great lugs on the sole for gripping rocks and roots, where I reside, on The Superior Hiking Trail.
