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.

Great Shoes!

"I bought these in preparation for an 8 mile hike up White Oak Canyon in Va. I wore them for maybe 3 hours a day in the week before just to make sure they would work out. They have been the best shoes I've ever bought. I have a wide foot and these were the only ones that seemed to be shaped like my foot. The hike I went on went up around 2500 feet in the first 5 miles and back down in the last 3, over rocky terra..." Read Full Review »

Comfy, but they don't breath

"These fit me foot very well and they are very comfortably shoes, but I'm not a fan of the eVENT waterproof breathable fabric. Waterproof, yeah - Breathable, not at all. It feels like having a grocery bag stuffed into your shoes. You'll be wetter with these than those without the eVENT, I don't care what conditions you're hiking in. I wish I would've got a similiar model without the eVENT...." Read Full Review »

This is the only shoe that has ever really fit me.

"I wore them on about 80 miles of the 195-mile Wainwrights Coast-to-Coast Walk in England. They performed well across fields, up and down hills, in mud, and in rain. However, the shoe strings did shrink, causing the toe to draw up and the black rubber toepiece to press on toe nails. Loosening them …"  Read Full Review »
