Women's Targhee 2 Low Height Waterproof Hiking Shoe

Might be 3. I'm a solid 11 in these shoes. And Voyageurs, which are the non-waterproof equivalent of these. First purchase of this wtaterproof version for the winter. But they are a bit shorter, and much less wide/tall roomy in the midfoot and front of foot...yet the heel is wider. I have a narrow heel but can wear Voyageurs and should have been able to wear these because they have a way to cinch the heel tight which is UNIQUE and not advertised. So both, ostensibly, you can have your narrow heel and very roomy forfoot...podiatrists recommend this strongly for feet. Toes can spread out (ideally in this style if they fit right, as they do it multiple Voyaguer pair I have. I promise they are the same shoe same last same midsole no other ones have such a raised midsole.I'm working on keeping the fore and midfoot much looser (there's room if I can get lacing right) and how to cinch the heel as it is pulling up some, it does have the chinch mechanism.That said, I have multiple foot injuries and this shoe lets me walk with orthotics (both are deep enough by far for orthotics) longer than any other shoe and I am so greatful. Especially people with forefoot injuries. Like Morton's neuroma where your toes need to spread out, this shoe and the Voyaguer are golden.SInce the midsole is so high, the heel is high, and that off weights your heel...if you have heel injuries as I do. This height and heel to toe slope is hard to find in running and hiking shoes. Yet it doesn[t at all feel wobbly or precarious or like you'd twist your ankle.Shoe is firm and stable and supportive.It breathes very poorly so your feet get stinky, small price to pay.The midsole on this and Voyageur is duel density...those Brown swaths that inject far into the midsole toward the back of the shoe keep the midsole from breaking down. I wear down midoles horribly due to my irregular stance. These haven't worn down, the Voyageur with the identical midsole lasted a year of daily use and the midsole has not collapsed. !0 hours a day. Again these are the only keens with quite as thick quite as "duel density" resistant midsoles.I think I can make this work. Maybe there is less room in the same size of Targhee compared to Voyageur because it also has a waterproof membrane.Traction is superior.My toes feel like they grab the ground more, using appropriate foot muscles despite being clad in built up shoe. I think this is because the width of the front of shoe/toes ball of foot lets toes spread correctly like when you are barefoot.Try these if you are looking for orthotic friendly shoes especially. Or injuries. If they are too deep or wide for you, just purchase a midsole from a drugstore, can be a cheep one, put in under their removable insole that comes with the shoe, and it'll take up some volume.

I think this is still a quality KEEN product but had to return it because the fit was not right. I tried this exact pair on in a store and they felt great but they were cheaper on Amazon so I ordered them. If I just stood in the shoes, they felt great. But with walking, my feet constantly slipped forward. I made sure, as another reviewer suggested, that they were laced through the tongue. This did not help. If I got them tight enough to not slip, they put pressure on the top of my foot and pressed on a nerve that caused numbness and a bruised feeling. I tried various methods of lacing them and spent a week around the house trying to "break them in" but never found anything that worked and just couldn't tolerate the foot pain they caused. I still love KEEN shoes but this one just didn't work.

I love Keen shoes, boots and sandals. If you have a wide forefoot (I do) This footwear is the best. I do have one complaint, and that is the sizing. It is not consistent from style to style. This pair is the first that is the same size as I wear in the regular world/other brands.. I got these in 8.5B (usually wear 8 wide or go up one size to 8.5B for the width in non Keen). So in the Keen Presido I wear 8B. but in Keen sandals 9B. In the European sizes sometimes 39, other times 39.5. I have two pairs of hiking boots in mens size 7 (for a bit more width) Both are marked 39.5. One is a bit longer than the other. If you need a wide shoe it is well worth the effort to find the size you need in the style you are looking at. These are well made, the insole is removable for those who need to customize the support, the waterproofing (Keendry membrane) is excellent. I have worn these type Keen waterproofed shoes and boots year round and they do not feel hot to me, any more than any boot or shoe with this type of construction. The tongue is bellowed to help keep water and other junk out. The sole is great for rough irregular or just hard surfaces, providing grip and protective cushion.. Took a few tries to get the lacing tied comfortably. They need minimum break in, if any, and I expect them to hold up well with normal care. . I like this shoe, and once I dialed in the size I got a second pair in another color. My experience with this brand says it will be a long happy relationship.

I have a wide toe box and a narrow heel. I was really hoping to love these but I had to return them because my heels were slipping out. There aren't any lace hole tricks that will work with this type of lacing system and there aren't any eyelets towards the back of the heel like you get with athletic type shoes so they had to go back. Everything else about these are great.

I wanted to love these, because the toe box is spacious, I love the color, the price is great, and overall they are of good construction and quality. But they go right up to my ankles, and after walking around the house with them for about a half hour to an hour, I couldn't bear them. Plus they left a bruise on the top of my foot. I tried thick wool socks, 2 pairs of socks, loosening/tightening the laces, nothing helped. They were a half size up, as a lot of reviewers suggested. My daughter noted the same ankle issue with hers. Sadly returning both.

Lovely solid Keen hiking shoes. Sadly had to return as the size 6 were a bit too big. I am always a size 6 but these felt slightly loose, even though you can tighten them really well I thought I'd better not risk it in case they stretch at all (especially as they cost £75). I might risk re ordering the size 5 as they felt so good when trying them on.

I got these because reviews online said keen shoes had a wide toe box. I have quite wide feet and previous shoes had been too tight at the toes. These are a good fit for me and very light and comfy. They are solid shoes that look like they will cope well with wet and rugged terrain.

Very robust shoe, waterproof, not much "bend" though and it was slightly too big for me even with hiking socks on. Decided it was more hassle to return them so kept them.

very comfortable though a little bigger than I expected - so I wear a thicker sock

This is a great walking shoe but the heel sits too high for my foot. I had to return it, with regret. I had a Keen walking shoe before but it has been discontinued.
