Good comfort, support and weight.
However, these shoes have NO GRIP.
These shoes will loose traction on rocks.

Bought them for a trip to the BWCA this year - slipped and feel on "smooth" 4 times - on dry fairly clean rock - and once while portaging a 75lb canoe.

The Keen water shoes have better grip than these boots.

This is my second pair of targhees and probably not the last either!

Comments about Keen Men's Targhee II Mid Waterproof Hiker:

The wide toebed is the best I've found so far for my feet, after trying Vasque, Merrill, ASolo, One Sport, HiTec, etc. Waterproof as advertised and they stick well on most surfaces, or add some microspikes for snow/ice. I wish Campmor consistently stocked my size and I'd buy a second pair. (Chocolate) Looks good on the trail or with jeans for the evening and comfortable for the motorcycle.

Haven't hit the trail yet, so the waterproofness is unproven, but very comfortable and lightweight. Will have to see how they perform with a pack on my back. However, they are the 1st sport boot I've bought that are wide enough to fit my inserts without rubbing against the interior wall. For me an unexpected plus.

if these boots ever wear out I will definitely buy another pair. Not only do I use them hiking and outdoors but have adopted them as an everyday wearing shoe for work as a nurse on my feet all day in correctional setting.

I had purchased a pair boots I thought would be fine for a long hike. On a tune up hike one week before the big hike , I bruised both my big toes. I then bought these boots . I then went on a 5o mile hike and they we3r3e totally comfortable. Even my injured toes were not painful.

At first I couldn't be happier with this boot. Broke them in within one week at Grand Canyon. After this, they were the most comfortable pair of shoes/boots I've ever owned. Period. Ultimately, I would not purchase these again though. They are not very waterproof, even after I applied a water repellent spray. I have worn them out completely in one year! Very upset about that. The stitching popped in certain places, laces have broke, and rubber seams are spacing. I just used them at the end of their life working a trail crew and got several blisters.

I must say though, that before they wore out, never had a problem with blisters or comfort.

The KEEN Targhee II is a great all around hiker. It does offer some ankle protection for those accidental slips and falls.

This boot is 100% waterproof, featuring KEEN's Keen Dry Technology and after wearing them nonstop in the rain for a week they have been field tested and proven effective.

Best of all this boot is breathable, my feet sweat a lot and it has been a problem to control on the past, but with these KEENs paired with KEEN merino wool "sox" my feet are DRY!

This boot is great for long and short hikes, and serves as a great rain boot option as well.

I would't recomend them for snow just for the fact that they are soo breathable that they lose heat.

If you looking for a snow boot with full ankle protection look at the new Keen Summit, or if you looking for something similar and breathable with full ankle protection look at the Keen Oregon PCT.

The outsole has some great tread for the trail; however I did slide and fall on smooth pavement when I was running to fast in HEAVY rainfall.

My laces were the right length and I love this versatile hiker.
