Title: Comfortable from the start
Review: Not the most "sexy" looking boots, for sure, but definitely great for hiking the awesome national parks! When I first put them on, they seemed a little bulky. However, the "bulk" is what actually made them so comfortable. They have a bit wider toe box, which I like, but still fit my narrower ankles just fine. They required no break-in period. I used the insoles that came with the boots and they worked well, which is great for someone like me who has issues with plantar fasciitis and other foot pain. Though my feet were a bit "heavy" after 8+ hour hiking days, I had no pain. These boots also seem waterproof. Only time I felt actual water was after stepping in a creek that was deeper than expected and water went over the top of the boot (totally my fault). Otherwise, I walked through some pretty thick mud, moderate puddles, and shallow creek beds and they worked well. Good traction. Not sure how they'd do in deep snow, but I'm not sure these are made for that since they are only mid-height anyway? The rounded toe is pretty ugly, but I was quite thankful for the rubberized protection when walking over rocks and boulders. Definitely recommend these boots. You get what you pay for, and these are worth it. And these are true to size. I wear a size 11 ladies in both running shoes and tennis shoes, and I ordered a size 11 in these...perfect fit.

Title: Love these
Review: This is my second pair of keen hiking boots. I was looking for something a little lighter than my current "snow" hiking boots to wear in warmer Florida winter. This fit great, they do have a large toe box making them feel a little large, but they are super comfortable and the extra room I the toe area has not been a problem. I usually wear 6.5-7, the 6.5 are great!

Title: Comfortable right out of the box.
Review: This is my second pair. My first pair lasted 8 years. You don’t have to break them in. They don’t squish your toes, plenty of room. Size was spot on. Lightweight and durable. I wear them about 11 hours a day.

Title: Perfect!
Review: This was the second pair I bought, after the first one was too large in size for me. But I already had these shoes for the past 5-6 years or more, and they are still good. I needed however another pair & they fit very well, are light and comfortable, and pretty. I hope they keep as warm in winter as the older pair.

Title: Great for hikers with bunions!
Review: My favorite hobby is hiking, mostly off trail. Unfortunately I inherited my mother’s bunions which tend to make long hiking trips quite painful. After doing some research, this boot was recommended for those, like myself, whom suffer from hallux valgus. Right out of the box, the wide toe box that these Keen’s offer felt amazing. The boot is also fitted around the heel, which not only keeps my foot from sliding in the boot, but also provides stability. I’ve just returned from a 5 mile, off trail hike, which involved a lot of climbing, crawling, and side-hilling. With my previous boots, after about 2 1/2 miles, my bunion pain would become so severe that I’d have to call it quits. These Keens far exceeded my expectations. The waterproofing kept my feet nice and dry, even after spending time hopping around in a creek. My toes never felt pinched as they had plenty of wiggle room. I still developed some bunion pain on one foot, but that was the fault of the amount of side-hilling I did and not the fault on my shoe. Next hike. I plan to wrap my bunions to see if that doesn’t help with the side-hill pressure. I typically wear a 9 and I ordered a 9 1/2, which fits well with my thin hiking socks. However, I probably should have considered a size 10 to accommodate my thicker, wool hiking socks. All in all, I definitely recommend these boots from Keen.

Title: Wider width than most hiking shies
Review: I like these hiking shoes, they fit my wide feet and are sturdy/well made, and provide good ankle support. The sole provides good grip and not too heavy. I wear them often.

Title: Where company policy gets in the way of customer service...
Review: The Keene Targhee 2s have been my go-to boots for well over a decade. They fit me perfectly. Lightweight, great on rocks, feels as comfortable as a sneaker. Moreover, they are literally the only shoes I wear. Well, unless I am going out, which is not often!I spend most of my time in the woods.My last pair was ordered on May 3, 2024. In early June, the lace strap broke. Amazon was unable to accept a return, so I contacted the Keene Customer Service department. I made multiple submissions without hearing anything back. I finally contacted a Keene rep by phone; sent her the photo of the broken lace and the Amazon invoice. She informed me that she was unable to effect help other than to send me over to the warranty department. When I asked her how long I was looking at for a new pair of boots, she indicated that it would be several weeks. I responded that these were the only shoes that I wear, and that I was going to have to buy a new pair of boots to replace the defective Keenes; and why can't she just overnight me a pair? Well, policy won't allow that, even though she was looking at the photo of the defective boot and the invoice.The warranty submission process was actually appalling, and I was shocked how difficult they made it. I have heard nothing back from them after 5 days. I am not expecting much.A classic situation where a great company gets too big and forgets about their fans who have been devoted to their product.Time to find a new brand. See ya Keene!Skye Reno

Review: Me parece que vienen amplias, si se compran por primera vez recomiendo que se compre al menos .5 número menos, por lo demás me parecen muy funcionales y cómodas, en terreno montañoso tienen buen agarre y el pie se mantiene seco.

Review: Light, great sole, very comfortable, easy to fasten. Nice to have a choice of colours too. As suggested, bought 1/2 size bigger. Also got crew socks as ankle socks would likely allow chafing. Would buy again.

Review: Passen perfekt, sind wasserdichtvund endlich Schuhe, die auch nach langer Strecke nirgendwo drücken. Praktisch ist der oberste Haken, an dem das Band befestigt werden kann. Damit muss ich nicht die Schuhe zubinden
