KEEN Targhee Mid ll Hiking Shoe - Men's



Kind of like falling in love
I am a proponent of Keen footwear in general, but this mid-hiker is something special even by Keen standards. I have tough to fit feet and have suffered heel blisters and lost toenails with several different types, sizes, and brands of boot despite strenuous efforts to get a good fit. In desperation I grabbed a pair of these on my way out of town for a tough 2-nighter. Out of the box, with no break-in, I hit the trail and hoped for the best. Although these are classified as hiking shoes, not backpacking boots, I carried a 40 lb. pack over 12 miles of steep, rough trail with not a hot spot, bashed toenail, or any discomfort; I thought I was dreaming. Backpacking without foot pain, who knew such a thing was possible? We bagged a "12-er" on this trip and the boots kicked butt over talus, scree, mud, slickrock, the works. Versatile, durable, supportive, and oh-so comfortable. The Keens hung tough and came back for more. NOTE that they tend to run small, so sizing up is generally a good idea.


One Problem
Donner Party is right on, but there may be trouble down the trail. After 8 mos. of moderate use, the toecap on my (original version) Mid started separating from the upper. Customer reviewers on other sites mentioned this. Since the dealer was out of my size, they gave me a pair of the Mid II's. (Keen has a fantastic warranty.) Now I see that wearers of the new model are complaining of the same problem- not very encouraging. (As an aside, it seems they lightened up the color of the tongue area on the new model, and the overall effect is that pinkish hue you get when you mix the whites with the coloreds in the laundry. I no longer have the coolest looking shoes on the block!)

My husband loves them!


Love these funky boots
So they're funky looking, but they feel great on the feet. The snug fit keeps my feet from moving around much in the boot.
