Best footwear on the planet
I work for the USPS and I'm on my feet 10 hours per day, 6 days per week, 52 weeks per year. The job is simple, but it is physically demanding. I've burned through cheap Wal-Mart shoes at least every 2 months. I simply couldn't find a shoe that could last through constant walking, turning, equipment smashing into my feet. I decided to buy my first pair of KEEN work shoes 2 years ago. I just bought this pair, ONLY because the old shoes were a bit stinky and the inside of the shoe at the very back began to wear out. The exterior was still perfect, and the sole of the shoes looked as perfect as the day I bought them. It's insane, never seen shoes so rugged, comfortable, and weather resistant. I actually have the same shoe laces! Talk about durable. The cost is a little high if you're not used to buying a quality product. But 1 pair of shoes every 2 years. Can't beat that!!

Extremely Comfortable for all day on your feet wear
I purchased these several months back and held off on reviewing until a thorough wear had been done. I am on my feet almost all day long and average about 10,000 steps a day in these. For this summer they have held up extremely well in an outdoor daily environment on a range. Comfort has been exceptional, and with the addition of my orthodic insoles and flat bed foam insert over the top, I cannot complain. Being black they needed a daily blow off with a compressor to remove dust and dirt. Have had them wet and held up fine and feet stayed nice and dry. I have been a fan and owner of other keen shoes and was not disappointed in these. I wear a 15W and these fit perfectly. I would recommend these to anyone who needs all day comfort and that amasses lots of daily steps on all types of terrain and also a waterproof mid chukka. They are breathable and not at all uncomfortable in hot weather.

Will work for me
These boots appear to be well made. I have not worn them outside yet, but from trying them on in my house has given me the impression.They feel comfortable and lace up very well; that part I like. Some boots don't always lace up right and sometimes affects the way the boot fits.The only reason I gave these four stars is because they seem to run a tad larger than true size. My previous hiking boots, (by Columbia), were 8-1/2 and fit perfect. These are 8-1/2 and I have just a tad extra room in the toe area than I would like. I did not want to take a chance on exchanging for a size 8, in case they would be too small. These will work for me just fine; I just prefer my hiking boots a little more snug than my normal shoes. Still a great boot; I will keep them.

Comfortable right away, good sole for walking on hard surfaces
I bought the Keen Men's Targhee Mid WP Hiking boot to replace one-year-old Keen Targhee II WP Hiking boots. The sole of the Targhee II was thick and soft, with sideways protruding lugs. The sole wore out on the outside of the heels a little faster than I expected. I walk on a lot of asphalt and concrete and it might be intended for softer surfaces. The Targhee Mid WP has a thinner, flatter, firmer-feeling sole without protruding lugs. The sole seems better for walking on the road and other smooth surfaces. I'm hoping for longer life from this sole; time will tell.

Very comfortable and did not have to break in
Very good boots great traction and ankle support, very light weight too, not very breathable but no matter how many times a pair of boots say they are breatheable they really are not, i walk roughly 10-12k steps a day which is roughly 4-6 miles a day and my feet feel fine only thing i sid change was the inner soles for dr scholls for like $11 so total max $110 bucks i paid for some of the most comfortable and cheapest boots i have ever bought

Great boots!!!
I ordered these and they came with no insoles. I am so disappointed with this order. I wish there was better quality control before items are shipped. The boots are still nice and have lots of room. Traction seems good. No insoles is the only reason for my low score no the boot itself.

Update - Another winner by Keen
Only just received them so won't do 5 stars until I wear them a bit more. This is my 8th pair of Keen shoes in the past 13 years and my 3rd in the Targhee line. I have been very satisfied with the fit and finish of Keen products, so much so that they are the only brand I will trust to buy without first trying them on. I've tried Merrill and Timberland for hiking and they just weren't right for me. Every pair purchased has fit perfectly as long as you follow the size recommendations. I wear an 8.5 US mens shoe and have a somewhat wide foot. I use the Targhee for Spring to Fall hiking as they are light weight and somewhat breathable. They are waterproof so they aren't as cool on my feet as the mesh versions of Keen hikers but I prefer the dryness when hiking through streams. They are study and, I feel, provide a solid and stable connection to the terrain no matter what it brings. I'm also a fan of the Keen "toe protect zone" which adds a covering of hard rubber over the toes to keep them safe when you stub them on the trail (not the same as steel toe or composite toe which they do offer, I have a pair of Keen composite toe work boots that have saved my toes a few times). I live in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park region and we have rocks, streams, a river you may have heard of, mud and gravel trails and the Keens perform admirably. I highly recommend but, with anything, personal preference is key so make sure they are right for you.--- UPDATE ---So, after 3 years of use, I've decided to upgrade these to 5 Stars. As you can see from the picture, they've held up exceedingly well. I wore these shoes during a 2 week trip to Norway where we did a fair bit of rough terrain hiking and they never once failed. I can't recommend these shoes enough!
