## Description

Four-wheel-drive performance for your feet. This waterproof hiking boot keeps your feet dry and lets them breathe, and the aggressive outsole bites into the terrain. It's built for all-day comfort, and the mid-cut height adds ankle support. Weighing 14. 2 oz / 402. 6 g (per boot), made with durable, waterproof and salt-resistant leather and featuring a moisture-wicking lining, the Targhee 2 Waterproof Hiking Boot is built off KEEN's traditional wider footwear form. KEEN products are consciously created using a natural, pesticide-free probiotic-based technology called Eco Anti-Odor for breaking down odor in sweat, PFC-free water repellent (in applicable styles) and leather sourced from Leather Working Group (LWG)-certified tanneries. KEEN makes shoes to make a difference. From the products it makes, to the actions the it takes, KEEN inspires people to live and work monumental every day. As a brand born for life outside, KEEN has a responsibility to protect and conserve the places where all people live, play and work. The Targhee Mid II from KEEN offers four-wheel-drive performance for your feet. The shoe is revamped with the KEEN.DRY waterproof breathable membrane to keep your feet dry and comfortable. The aggressive outsole has 4mm lugs to bite into the terrain, providing excellent traction. The ESS shank provides torsional stability for a secure ride, while the mid cut height increases ankle support through canyons and over mountaintops. P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); From beaches to mountains to city streets, Keen believes the outdoors is anyplace without a ceiling. Keen believes in living a HybridLife, which means being part of a greater community that is full of people who create possibilities, play in the outdoors and care for the world around them. See more

Review: Great boots! - Keen are high quality footwear that always delivers. Comfortable, water proof and great for hiking or the job site
Review: The most comfortable boot I've ever worn, but... - I'm giving these boots five stars but with reservations. If you're a normal user of "wide" shoes, as I am, keep in mind a couple of things. 1) I have the Targhee II in both regular width and wide, and if you put them side to side, the width of the base/platform of the shoe is identical. The "wide" version basically allocates more real estate in the upper, making the leather upper able to expand further, thereby accommodating a wider foot. For myself, who normally wears wide sizes in running shoes, I find that the regular "D" width Keen shoes are fine--Keens are known for having a wide toe box and unless you have significantly wide feet, normal sizes should be fine. 2) The wide version of the Targhee II is built to handle the widest of feet. While this is purely an aesthetical gripe (yet not one I'm willing to subtract a star for), for folks that have only moderately wide feet like myself, when you lace up to a satisfactorily comfortable and tight degree, the two halves of the upper are pulled extremely close together making the shoes appear quite different than what you see in the online photos. I don't particularly care about this but some might, as the shoe is definitely less attractive with the laces scrunched together in a tight sequence in the middle of the boot. Recommendation: Unless you have abnormally wide feet, just get the regular width. 3) DO order a half size up from what you normally do, despite what some of the reviews may suggest. I normally wear a 10.5W, in this case I ordered an 11W and I have just enough clearance up front for my toes. Whenever you're going to buy Keens, as sizing varies wildly among models and versions, always check the Keen official website for the recommendation on when/if to order a size up. Some of my Keens are fine at 10.5D, some are just right at 11W. Always check the website, and if you're ordering Targhee IIs then ALWAYS order a half size up. I own Danners, Merrells, Eccos and a number of other boot brands. Keens are definitely my favorite. They have stable yet amazingly cushioned soles and outers, and while this obviously translates to them being less durable, I'm willing to sacrifice longevity for the level of comfort I get out of these boots. Merrells are great shoes, but the wide toe box and material quality of Keens win me over. I paid less than $70 for both of my Targhee IIs here on desertcart Prime Day. Steal of a lifetime, and the reason why I'm a Prime member FOR LIFE. JTK

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great shoes for hiking/long-term wearing.
*by A***R on October 30, 2025*

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.
