Keen Women's Targhee II Shoe

Keen Women's Targhee II Shoe

Whether you wear the Keen 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 to use 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.

Love these shoes!
I was hesitant at first about purchasing these shoes, but I can assure anyone that I am so happy and 100% satisfied that I broke down and bought them. I 5"1' and 103 lbs and normally wear a size 7 shoes, so when buying my Keens I also bought a size 7 because I like my hiking shoes to fit snuggly. They were a perfect fit. They are a little bit pricey, but in my opinion they are worth every penny!! I have hiked many times in these bad boys and even took them with me to trek across both Alaska and then New Mexico! They provide great support around the ankles as well as nice traction on the bottom for people who are doing some serious hiking. Seeing that I've had these shoes for just over two years and have hiked a hundred or so miles in them, they have held up great. Almost in as good of condition as the day I bought them. I have gotten multiple compliments on their appearance as well...Let's be honest, more hiking shoes are ugly!! They are even comfortable enough to get me around campus in East Tennessee...I have no complaints on this pair of shoes and would recommend Keens to anyone. Since this product was so great, I now own 5 pairs of Keen shoes! Love this buy!

Ran 3 miles in these...
I love these shoes for hiking but on vacation, I forgot my running shoes, so I put these on and ran 3 miles on pavement. Although they were heavy, my feet felt great. I was very surprised. I also had to cross a stream in these, and although my feet got wet, they really helped to keep them from freezing. It didn't help that others with me had freezing feet, so we all ended up going back to our camp early to dry off.. Love these and would recomend them highly!!!

This is my fourth pair of Keens. I would never consider any other all around shoe. i particularly like the arch support and that this shoe is actually waterproof. Its a winner of a shoe!
