From Backcountry.com:
"Lacing up the Keen Men's Targhee Mid II Hiking Shoes is like shifting your feet into four-wheel drive. Their 4mm lugs grab rough terrain, while the waterproof and super-breathable eVENT insert keeps your feet dry. The dual density, compression-molded EVA midsoles cushion and absorb shock so you can return to the trailhead without achy feet. The mid-height cut protects your ankle from rolls and twists, and Keen's S3 heel support structure cups your heel so you experience less slippage and less blisters."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"With the Keen Targhee II Mid you'll be keeping up with the mountain goats. The Targhee II Mid is a high performance, light hiker that will provide traction and stability on any terrain and enough support though the the ankle that you can go anywhere with confidence. A Keen.Dry membrane and breathable leather upper work together to make sure your feet are comfortable and dry in all conditions. Keen Targhee II Mid features: KEEN.DRY Waterproof breathable membrane. Torsion stability ESS shank. Removable metatomical footbed creates a custom fit. Keen toe protection. Non Marking rubber outsole with 4mm multi directional lugs Dual Density Compression Molded EVA Midsole Fit: Medium width. Can fit narrower feet fairly well, due to low volume. Those with very high volume feet (high insteps) may need to (1) Wear a thin sock and go up 1/2 size, and (2) try a thinner insole (insole is thick enough to grind down to increase depth). Those with D width, or a heavier sock, try 1/2 size longer than your usual size"

"Excellent day hiking boot, can be used for some backpacking as well. Not sure why MPstaples said no toebox room, these are the roomiest boots in the toes I have ever owned while still maintain a good snugness around my heel. Keens run small, so maybe that was the issue, MPstaples tried to wear their normal boot size."

"Positives:

1. Permanent waterproofness due to eVent liner.
2. Reasonably light weight.
3. Square toe box.
4. Great "quick lace" system - can be laced up "too tight" within seconds.
5. Great reflective strips that can be seen for hundreds of feet at night."

"This is an update to my previous review.

I took my Keen Targhee mid II boots with me to hike in Jasper National Park in Alberta.

I love these boots for hiking the trails of southern Ontario but I am glad I brought my full grain leather Lowa's along."

"I bought these hikers after reading the reviews here. I was looking for a lightweight waterproof day hiker. I required a wide toe box and these were one of the few that fit the bill for me. The terrain I predominantly use is hilly upland forest, cedar bush and farm field."

"I have very difficult feet to fit. I have flat feet, narrow at the heel, wide at the mid foot area, and normal width toebox. These fit pretty ok, except the heel is a little wide for my feet, so I can feel my heel roll a little. But so far no twisted ankles yet."

"I love the way this boot fits but after only 3 months the sole cracked and the rubber that comes up around the heel started to peel off. Unfortunately, I'll be taking mine back to REI next week Surely they should last longer than that."

"I love my Keen shoes and sandals. But don't be fooled. This is not built on the same last. Keen hit it big by making shoes shaped like feet (what a concept!). But they apparently abandoned that idea with these boots. There is no more toe space in these than in any other pinchy-toed boot."

"I now own the Targhee II's, but this is really about a problem I had with the original Targhees. Used around the city and on moderately rough 5-10 mile hikes. After 8 mos. the toe cap started separating from the leather. (A reviewer on another site mentioned this."

"Very, very comfortable; hardly noticed they were there. Plenty stable on rough trails. Grippy on class 3/4 rock. Problems with durability, though. Needed minor repair after only 15-20 miles of (admittedly rough) hiking and climbing. Overall a good boot for someone with a medium heel and wide forefoot."
