From Backcountry.com:
"Try out a killer new day hike in the Keen Men's Targhee II Hiking Shoes. The eVENT waterproof barrier keeps your feet dry as you stomp through puddles and comfortable on the rocky sections of the trail. The waterproof leather upper blocks out moisture so your feet stay dry and the AEGIS Microbe Shield Treated Mesh Lining wicks sweat, which keeps you blister-free. The ESS shank provides your foot with great stability on those super steep sections, and the Secure-fit Lace Capture System gives you easy control over the tightness of your laces."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"Whether you wear Keen's Women's Targhee II shoe for trail running or just roaming around the campsite, you're going to feel a comfortable difference over conventional waterproof active wear shoes. That's because unlike other trail running shoe manufacturers who opt for using the same waterproof membranes found on practically every running shoe on the market, Keen took a route less traveled and used a new eVENT membrane fabric with Dry System Technology for better breathable comfort in wet weather. The difference is one that you can feel--most waterproof/breathable technologies require that perspiration condenses to moisture before it can pass through the membrane. eVENT membrane fabric allows sweat to pass through in vapor form, so your feet don't feel soaked in sweat like you would in other weatherproof trail running shoes. The heel of the Women's Targhee II features Keen's S3 heel support structure, a special shock-absorbing design that's engineered to support your foot on impact, minimizing your chances of twisting an ankle on rolling terrain. Like other Keen performance shoes, the Women's Targhee II is all about stability, but if you're looking for drier socks at the end of the day, the new Dry System Technology is worth checking out--especially if you forgot to pack extra socks for the return trip home."
From RockCreek:
"The Targhee II Hiking Shoe by Keen is a go anywhere, do anything shoe that offers complete waterproof protection and is engineered to support your foot while hiking, scrambling and trekking in the outdoors. The Targhee II is lined with Keen's own proprietary membrane called KEEN.DRY, and is supremely waterproof and breathable allowing you to keep water out and stay dry. The S3 heel support structure is designed to support the foot on impact, dissipate shock and reuce your odds of twisting an ankle on uneven terrain. A torsion stability ESS shank adds support under the foot and stability while the EVA midsole cushions each step. Come with Keen's toe protection for rocks and roots."

My first day hiking in them consisted of two short hikes; I wore them with Smartwool socks and had no blisters, I also walked through some mud and puddles and my feet didn't get wet."

Once broken in, they are a very comfortable shoe, with plenty of room for your toes and a tight fit around the ankle."
