KEEN Women's Targhee 2 Low Height Waterproof Hiking Shoes, 9.5 US

Oh friends. These shoes, these shoes! I was starting to lose faith that no longer could one find an amazing pair of hiking shoes. All the shoes I looked at seem to have defects, diminishing quality, weird sizing, etc. For me, I needed a pair that were structurally sound for working in a muddy garden where snakes and other biting things are a threat. I found these to be a bit expensive but worth every penny. They might be the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. Like right outta the box. Zero break in period, and I have sensitive feet. They are sturdy, and one of my favorite things about them is the ability to slip them off and on. They have laces, yes, but I tied them once and haven't had to untie or retie since. They are so sturdy you can just slip your foot right on in and right on out, like a rain boot. Plus they're CUTE. I found them true to size. I wear an 8.

Bought these because they are waterproof & will keep my feet dry. Order my normal shoe size, fit perfect. I have a narrow foot & these have plenty of room for thicker socks without being too tight. Very comfortable, would definitely buy again.

Y'know, I really love Keen shoes. I just wore out a pair of Keen Presidio's and just wanted a different style so I ordered the Targhee 2. Trying them on they looked great and felt great, comfortable, until I walked across the room. They hit my ankles at a pain point that is not bearable. I see from the reviews that the ankle problem is not uncommon. Reluctantly, I returned them and equally reluctantly bought another pair of Presidios. Don't get me wrong - - I love the Presidio; it's a great shoe. Just wanted something different.

These shoes are excellent for: hiking, trail walking, every day errands, work, leisure, dashing to the car in the rain, snow, and mud. I really like the large toe box. The shoes are comfortable and not too wide. They tend to run a half size small in my experience. I have three pair of Keen sandals, as well as, the variety of Targhees that I've owned. I tend to buy a new pair about every 18 months and then demote the current pair to yard work and "poo-patrol" when picking up after my Yorkies. I love the fact that these are water repelant to water proof. Be sure to read the specs as Keen offers shoes in both models. My preference is the low cut shoe over the ankle height. Just feels better for me. I have experienced ZERO break-in time for this brand of shoe. The color selections are muted and very similar to each other. Get over it...I have yet to see Keen offer a bright blue or red Targhee. (Although that'd be cool. I'm totally all about blue.) The soles of the shoes take a long time to wear as they are made of Vibram. Great stuff. The foot bed is removeable and there is plenty of room for orthodics if you wear them. I have worn out the foot beds and just replaced them with after market variety. The laces are really long so you may either have to cut them down or double-bow tie them. Just something I've noticed over the years. Unless your mom is a totally hip kind of woman, she may not like the look of these shoes, as the toe bumper is quite prominent. My mom thinks these are hideous. Well, if she'd only try a pair and not look at her feet, I think she'd be hooked on the great comfort, weather resilientancy, and did I mention comfort? Give Keens a try. I hope you like them. I sure do.

I’m having trouble with my left heel & have a bunion forming right now and these shoes are just what I need for trail walks. They do run a tad large (so if you are between sizes go down 1/2 size) but with Prime Wardrobe it is easy to return for the correct size. The mouth of the shoe is wider than most and feels weird/slightly too loose at first but upon wearing you get used to it very quickly and my feet enjoy the room. They are very comfortable and supportive. They look great as well!

I have purchased Keens for years and have had no size issues. I ordered 2 styles of Keens, 1 which I have ordered year-over-year and they are now too big. Still good quality, but I'll have to down size.

Love Keen shoes. Bought these to hike out west. Gravel, sand trails and these hiking shoes gripped the surface superbly and are comfortable to wear all day. Great support.

I have a wide forefoot and narrow heel and sized up to an 8 from 7.5. The toe area is very roomy for my duck shaped feet, but the toe is still hitting a very uncomfortable stiff spot at the top even though there's plenty of width and length. Replacing the insole doesn't help as there's not enough height in the shoe. I've never worn 8.5 in my life, and my heel would definitely slip. I haven't even walked yet and after losing a toenail from my last hike, I can't risk it. The looks and craftsmanship are top notch, but the comfort isn't there.
