Better breathable comfort with the same stellar waterproof protection for soggy roads and trails.
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.

These Keens Rock!
Pros: These shoes are waterproof. This means I can tromp through the morning dew and not worry about my feet getting wet. Yay! Comfortable. As with with most Keens, these give ample room in the toe-area, while snugly fitting the heel. For me, this is the best fit. WARNING: This model tends to run a little small. I usually wear a 9.5-10, but I bought these in a 10 and I'm glad I did. The 9.5 would have been too small, especially with a thick pair of socks! I have worn these shoes all day, and my feet did not feel fatigued at all (and I suffer from plantar fasciitus!) Awesome arch support, A+ in my book. Style/Color: I bought the slate black/seneca color, and I love them! The color is feminine, without being too frilly. Cons: My feet got a LITTLE bit too warm (I think due to the waterproof factor/breathability) but this didn't bother me overmuch. I'd rather have warm feet than cold!

Rugged & Comfortable
Bought it for the wife and she loves it. Great for hiking and even long shopping campaign! Fits well, comfortable and rugged such that I had to pick up another pair just in case Keen (or Altrec) discontinues it someday.

awesome shoes!
I absolutely love Keen shoes! I have owned several pairs and put many miles on all of them on all kinds of terrain. The only reason I get new pairs is because I have narrow heals and I tend to rub through the back fabric on all of my shoes in time. I would and have recommended Keen shoes and these specifically to others!

Love these shoes!
Great shoe, great cost, great service. It is what I have come to expect from Altrec. They never let me down! Keen shoes have a great reputation...with good reason.

Great shoe
I love these shoes! I wear them almost exclusively all winter long. They are comfortable, waterproof and warm. I can track through the snow and slush and they still come out looking great!
