Ahnu

This is the most incredibly cushioned sole I've ever stepped in. I wish I could keep them but there is something about the way all Ahnu shoes fit me that they don't hold my heel in and then my toes slide a bit to the front. I have another pair that does the same thing and I tried to live with them but it really isn't okay. I wish I could wear these shoes, but have to send them back. If your heel is a bit wider (I have average feet), I think these would be a dream.

I have a very wide foot and usually wear Tevas these are very light but did have a little chaffing around the toe areas.

I first bought these on Amazon and it appeared that I got boots from two different pairs as one was at least ¼" wider, measured from the seam. This was really noticeable in the wearing as my forefoot was not stable in the right boot. I sent them back and ordered on Zappos, which resulted in the same thing! One of the boots is visibly wider if you compare them side by side. I love Ahnu and have two other pair of flats but this shows very poor quality control, especially in hiking boots where fit really matters and you want a consistent fit on both feet. My husband got the Mens version and he loves them. I am going to try another color - black looks to be slightly different leather - and see if it makes a difference. The one that fits feels great!

Comfortable (and feather weight) right out of the box, but like others have said: no cushion under the ball of the foot, even with my Superfeet inserts. Had to return.

I do a lot of winter hiking and this is a very comfortable shoe. It has a wide toe box so it can accommodate a foot warmer and also my superfeet. It is a warm shoe and so far proved to be waterproof. Good grip on the soles as well.

Cute and classy. Liked the look and feel of the thin strap with hidden velcro. Loose on the heel and tight across the metatarsals. Not comfortable if you have bunions. No arch support.

Toe box has room which I need. Wish I had been able to purchase gray but the size was sold out.

Love this boot. Reliable hiking boot for the day hiker -- and the blue looks great with jeans.

I received these shoes and was very pleased with the look and quality. However, when I tried them on, the right shoe caused pain in the heel and big toe. I am returning this pair but will order another pair as I think perhaps it was a defect in workmanship. The left shoe seemed perfect, so I will give these shoes another shot.

Great shoes! Well made and comfortable. They are a nice compromise between sports shoes and dressy flats, simple enough to be worn with pretty socks but still dressy enough to be striking. That broad, flattened toe also makes your feet look a size smaller! Other comment that you should not remove the liner because it is a basic part of the structure of the shoe is right on. My first Zappos purchase and I am already a loyal Zappos customer!

I bought these shoes because of their many great reviews. Yes, they are nice looking shoes, waterproof, and lightweight. But I have never had a pair of shoes rub the back of my heels so badly. My first hike with these was about 3 miles. I was uncomfortable almost immediately. They rubbed my heels raw. So I waited a week before putting them on again, the next time my heels were a bloody mess. It was complete agony. I do not have money to be throwing away, what should be good shoes. So I have taken scissors to the back of the shoe to alleviate some of the pressure on my heel. I have not really tried them out since altering. I am still healing. If I could give some advice to anyone interested in these shoes - Merell is a better brand and more worth the money, without the pain. I will not make this mistake again.

Super cute and super comfy. I ordered these and returned them only because I thought I needed a different type of boot for the trip I was embarking upon. But super comfy.

Nice looking shoe, but extremely uncomfortable. Never broke them in as they continued to rub blisters on my heel every time I wore them (unlike Merrell's that can be worn for miles straight out of the box).

Total eclipse. Beautiful Navy/Jean-friendly color. Runs short. I need the next 1/2-size larger, which is unusual. Fabulous Vibram Sole for nasty weather, slippery conditions, hiking. Arch of shoe hit me too far forward.

I love these shoes. I have flat feet and these have great arch support. But sadly, I cannot wear them as my right foot is an 11 and a pinch due to breaking the middle toe when I was 13 so it makes that foot just a pinch longer. 11s used to work so either my foot got longer or shoes got shorter. Please...make and 11.5 or a 12. Pretty please.

I ordered these boots for my daughter to wear on campus during snow and cold but had to return them, because the heal cup arches inward and was digging into her heels. I wish the supportive heel cup had been softer or padded better. It is too bad, since the boots are very well-made and super comfortable. The footbed is shaped and the arch support is terrific. The leather is really nice looking too. I hope Ahnu company looks into this only defect in their terrific shoe mold. For reference, my daughter has somewhat wide feet, small heels and likes roomy toes and comfort.

I really wanted to like these shoes since they offered great support through the arch. However, I have to agree with another reviewer. There is not enough cushion in the ball of the foot. It would be too hard on my forefoot to walk more than 1/2 mile in these. Would not be good for hiking.

Yes, Zappos rocks. I love the fast and correct delivery. The Montara fit perfectly and they felt like broken in favorites from the moment I put them on. Great shoe. Took my dog to agility training in a barn; stepped into lots of nasty stiff. Yikes. Everything wiped up clean as a whistle with a damp paper towel. I love this shoe.

I needed a heavy duty comfortable shoe for biking and walking and found the Ahnu Montara great on both counts. Having tried every other shoe category I am glad I explored hiking shoes to find the Ahnu, they make me feel like I am walking on pillows in a rough concrete urban/suburban environment.

Overall, comfort, style, all exceeded my expectations! I had never heard of the brand, but liked the way they looked. I can't say enough about them; they look great, they feel great, and I will definitely look for more shoes by Ahnu in the future! I did order it 1/2 size larger so that I would have plenty of room for heavy socks, and I am so glad that I did. My feet are very happy! But they do run true to size.
