The KEEN Men's Targhee 2 Mid Height Waterproof Hiking Boots are designed to provide exceptional performance and comfort for outdoor enthusiasts. These boots are particularly noteworthy for their four-wheel-drive performance, ensuring that your feet remain dry and breathable in various terrains. Weighing in at just 14.2 oz (402.6 g) per boot, they are made with durable, waterproof, and salt-resistant leather, making them ideal for both rugged trails and everyday adventures.

Features

  • Waterproof & Protection: The KEEN.DRY breathable membrane keeps your feet dry by allowing vapor out while preventing water from entering. Additionally, a bruise plate provides protection on uneven surfaces, and a high-abrasion rubber toe guard enhances durability.
  • Material & Consciously Created: Constructed with durable premium leather and breathable performance mesh, these boots feature a quick-dry lining, sourced from Leather Working Group certified tanneries. An environmentally friendly DWR treatment helps keep the leather supple.
  • Traction: The KEEN All-Terrain rubber outsole is designed for high traction grip in muddy and rocky environments, equipped with 4mm multi-directional lugs that ensure optimal footing. Moreover, the non-marking rubber leaves no imprints indoors.
  • Support & Comfort: With an external support shank and mid-cut height, these boots offer excellent balance and ankle support. A contoured heel adds stability, while a removable footbed provides arch support tailored to your foot's shape.
  • Fit & Care: The KEEN Original Fit allows ample space for your toes to spread out comfortably. Cleaning is straightforward; simply brush the leather with a soft bristle brush or hand towel to remove dirt, though tough stains may require a leather cleaner.

Great boot

Great Hiking shoe! Put about 20 miles on them now, no discomfort. Lots of room in the toe and the US size is accurate.

Great shoes for hiking/long-term wearing.

I really like these shoes. I need something with good arch support but also has to be comfortable because I wear them for hours when hiking. It’s a nice snug fit and they don’t rub my ankles - which is important to me because other shoes have rubbed my heel raw. I’m a taller person, so I need the good arch support because that helps to better align my entire back while walking. Definitely recommend these.

Great boot but not always perfect

I have been using Keen Targhee boots for a decade because they are great boots but they are not perfect. 99% of the time the boots fit as ordered and will be comfortable for the entire day. Once in a while, I get a pair that fits a little too snug and I have to return them but otherwise fit is true to size.As a person who wears these boots for 12-18 hours a day, 365 days a year, at work delivering packages and on my off time, I can attest that they are quite comfortable and they are mostly well made. When I say mostly, it means that the only real problem I have with the boots is the rubber sole. Because the sole alternates between rubber and foam rubber in the design, there are times when the rubber separates from the foam and will flap around. Keen has a warranty but when I tried to contact customer service about the rubber separating from the foam, I was told it wasn't a manufacturing defect but normal wear and tear, improper care, misuse, accident, neglect, or the natural breakdown of the material. So in that aspect, having a one year warranty is nice but under theses circumstances it would have only been 30 days. For the price, I would expect the soles to at least hold up a little better than they do.If you don't wear your boots for 12-18 hours a day, 365 days a year, then these boots are great and will most definitely be a great choice for you. If you want to wear these boots with an extra pair of socks you should up size by at least a half, but ideally a full size, to make wearing them more comfortable. Unless #Keen does something drastic and changes the shoe completely, I will continue to buy theses as they are really that good. Too bad Keen does not read these reviews as I would love to be a tester for their product line as the boots would really get put through the paces by me and my co-workers.

Keen Mid Height Hikers

I have a wide toe box and Keen boots are wider than other brands. The insoles come out so I can put my orthotics in to wear. I have had one pair of Keen work boots with safety toe and they lasted a long time ! Excellent products !

Updated review... Keen is junk with ZERO warranty support!

UPDATE: In the past, Keen was a good brand, with great durability. Now.... Keen is a worthless company when it comes to quality/durability, and warranty..........WARRANTY IS USELESS! Keen's warranty is so lopsided in favor of Keen, and you will never get anything from them under the warranty. My shoes literally fell apart within 4 months.... I contacted them about the warranty. Sent images, receipt images, screenshots of purchase info, and right from the start they throw up roadblocks. Went back and forth via email for a weeks.....pictures, and even video showing how badly the shoes fell apart..... they always have some excuse as to why the warranty won't cover it, EVERY time, a some point in an email or phone conversation this phrase came out..... "That is considered normal wear and tear, and is not covered under out warranty." WAY OVERPRICED SHOES, AND LESS THAN 6 MONHTS OF USABILITY BEFORE THEY HAVE FALLEN APART.....AND A WARRANTY THAT IS USELESS TO THE CUSTOMER! I don't know what happened to Keen, but they went from a good brand, to horrible in no time at all.If you buy Keen brand footwear, then make sure you buy a CASE of Shoe Goo, or similar product..... YOU WILL NEED IT! The lugs that wrap upward will be the first to start coming apart..... for me, it caused me to trip and fall! Even when you try to "glue" the lugs back in place, another one comes loose, and you spend more time trying to repair them then wear them! Shortly after the sole lugs start coming loose, the stitching starts coming out, and the soles tear away from the uppers. It's insane, trying to repair a shoe that for the high cost, should not be coming apart in the first place. Keen shoes/boots are without a doubt the most overpriced, poorest quality footwear I have ever seen! You'd be just about as well off to burn your money for warmth....because that's about how long these boots will last!UPDATED REVIEW: Less then 8 months with only wearing them about once a week, and the lugs have separated around the outside of BOTH soles! This is totally unacceptable for a shoe of this price! No way will I spend that kind of money for such lousy durability! NEVER AGAIN!THESE BOOTS ARE NOT TRUE TO SIZE! (They run small)I was looking at this boot through a local retailer, and glad I did. I tried on my normal size (11.5 W) and they were very small and tight. I asked to try on a 12W and it fit just right. They only had one pair of 12W at the store, and that pair had a defect that I wasn't willing to live with. I got home, looked on Amazon, and the same boots are $49 LESS! I ordered a pair of 12W, and they fit just right.This is day 1 with them on my feet, so we'll see how the comfort and durability holds up. If they start coming apart prematurely as others have stated in reviews, I will update my review/

Comfy

Very comfortable right out of the box. They run a little wide which was perfect for me. I can get my nice sock on and still be comfortable.
