Keen Women's Targhee II Shoe
Whether you wear Keen's Women's Targhee II shoe for trail running or just roaming around the campsite, you're going to feel a comfortable difference over conventional waterproof active wear shoes. That's because unlike other trail running shoe manufacturers who opt for using the same waterproof membranes found on practically every running shoe on the market, Keen took a route less traveled and used a new eVENT membrane fabric with Dry System Technology for better breathable comfort in wet weather. The difference is one that you can feel--most waterproof/breathable technologies require that perspiration condenses to moisture before it can pass through the membrane. eVENT membrane fabric allows sweat to pass through in vapor form, so your feet don't feel soaked in sweat like you would in other weatherproof trail running shoes. The heel of the Women's Targhee II features Keen's S3 heel support structure, a special shock-absorbing design that's engineered to support your foot on impact, minimizing your chances of twisting an ankle on rolling terrain. Like other Keen performance shoes, the Women's Targhee II is all about stability, but if you're looking for drier socks at the end of the day, the new Dry System Technology is worth checking out--especially if you forgot to pack extra socks for the return trip home.

Absolutely great as usual
This is my 5th pair of Keen shoes and or sandals. As usual I am very pleased with them. Sizing was right on for me. I am on my feet all day, sometimes 16 hour shifts as an RN,up and down halls and standing passing meds. They are very comfortable and supportive. Everything I have come to expect from Keens.

Consistently top quality
I must be on my tenth pair of Keen Targhee II shoes. I have hiked all types of terrain in these shoes - arid desert, in/out back/forth within the Grand Canyon, to the watery trails of the Zion Narrows. They stand up well. The tread is bomber, but does wear out; although, I attribute that to the areas where I hike. They comfortably fit my wider feet with never a break-in period. I have tried other brands, but they are always returned. Keen remains tried and true! Find these on sale and you will have found yourself not only a great deal, but a great shoe. Kudos to KEEN for creating a hiking shoe that goes the distance!

Great Shoes! Recieve, Put on, and Go!
This was second pair of Targhee II's. So nice to be able to replace them and have the second pair fit as good as the first. No break-in required for me.
