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 Altrec Outdoors:
"Improve your traction on snow and wet surfaces while keeping your feet dry with the Keen Men's Targhee II Mid Hiking Boot. It's loaded with features to compliment your rain or shine outdoor lifestyle, including aggressive multi-directional lugs, and a waterproof and breathable eVENT lining. The Keen Targhee II Mid Hiking Boot for men offers the utmost in underfoot care, using a dual-density compression molded EVA midsole, removable footbed, ESS shank, and S3 heel structure to cushion and support the foot over rough terrain, long hikes, and steep descents. That's a mouthful of abbreviations but it translates to comfort late in the day when you've got 3 miles to go before the end of the hike. The Targhee II Mid also includes Keen's famous toe bumper, not a fancy name but proven effective against unseen rocks, roots, and other obstructions."

From REI:
"Keen Targhee II waterproof day hikers deliver tenacious traction, stability and comfort. Waterproofed nubuck leather and flexible nylon mesh uppers offer ample durability, flexibility and breathability for comfort on the go. Midheight cuff offers support to help protect ankles from injury. Secure-fit lace capture system with sturdy nylon webbing eyelets and heel wrap help lock feet to footbeds for increased support. Webbing pull loops at heel and tongue allow easy entry/exit; padded, gusseted tongue keeps out debris and moisture while relieving lace pressure. KEEN.DRY™ waterproof breathable membranes keep feet dry while allowing perspiration to dissipate before it saturates the inside of the shoe. Patented rubber Toe Guards protect feet and uppers from impacts and abrasion. Substantial Metatomical EVA footbeds are shaped to provide ample cushioning and arch support; can also accommodate orthotics. Compression-molded EVA midsoles offer shock-absorption and padding for all-day comfort. Supportive nylon shanks provide torsional stability and protection from uneven terrain. Nonmarking carbon rubber outsoles with aggressive 4mm multidirectional lugs for durability and traction."

"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."
