Interested in new Ahnu products?

Thanks! We'll notify you as soon as we add new styles for Ahnu.
The name Ahnu is derived from Celtic mythology, from the goddess of balance and well-being. The deity could accurately be described as an ancient version of "Mother Earth" This choice of a namesake is both deliberate and appropriate, as Ahnu's social and environmental commitment is incorporated in the foundation of every product that has been created and every business decision that has been made.

From the gold standard of factory certification (the footwear is manufactured in one of only 31 footwear factories in the world with SA8000 accreditation), to the use of certified post–consumer recycled fibers in the catalogs and packaging, Ahnu's commitment is integrated through all areas of the brand.

The product goal is to achieve uncompromising performance by blending a modern aesthetic with the style, structure, and substance of the outdoor lifestyle. This goal has been realized through the emphasis on intuitive easy on/off technology and the proprietary QuiteLight™ construction, a system that enables exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and superior comfort.

We engineer products to meet our active life-style needs. Whether for hiking on trails through the Big Sur Mountains or taking a run through Golden Gate Park, we infuse technology that keeps us centered, balanced, and ultimately comfortable for miles on end.

And while our passions drive us to create great performance products, our values guide us to be responsible throughout all of our environmental and social encounters. So if we can inspire a more balanced life that begins with getting outside, then we’re making the connections that influenced us to start this brand.

So we named our company after the Celtic deity of balance and well being.

Life should be balanced, responsible and fun. It's the spirit that's been put into each and every product, and the way that people will hopefully live every day. Ahnu – It's About Balance.

Technologies: NUMENTUM™ TECHNOLOGY Numentum™ Technology is a neutral positioning system engineered to encourage your foot's natural biomechanics. It is designed to center and guide the foot to promote an efficient, stable and balanced stride.

GIVING MORE AS WE GROW Our passions drive us to create incredible products that support our life as we trek from city to nature and back again. As part of that passion and commitment, we are pleased to support Breast Cancer Fund, The Conservation Alliance and Soles4Souls.

Love these shoes! For whatever reason, I seem to get blisters quite easily, especially when I walk for extended periods of time and given that I travel often I have had a very hard time finding a good pair of comfortable shoes that I can wear for days full of walking and not end up with blisters. From the moment I first took these out of the box and tried them on, they fit and felt great! I wore them for 5 out of 7 days of my recent vacation, walking all over the place and didn't have any problems with blisters, foot pain, etc. I'm so pleased I purchased these and will definitely look at other styles from this brand. In my perfect world, all shoes would come in a size 10 1/2, but since most don't, I struggle to find a good fit, but the size 11 fit well, plenty of wiggle room for my toes but not on the almost-too-big-to-wear side. On a scale of wide to narrow, my feet are slightly on the wide side and no problem with the shoes being too narrow.

I was surprised to find that these were very uncomfortable shoes. The first thing I noticed was that the toe area was very hard! I've never felt anything like it other than steel-toe boots. Second, the back of the shoe rode very high and rubbed the back of my ankle. The sole was both hard and thin, and there was no arch support. I did think they were cute, but since my plan was to actually walk in these, I returned them.

These are cute but they aren't adjustable. If the straps are too loose, you can't tighten them to fit. There is some built in give, so I guess the idea is to buy a snug size, and hope that won't be too tight to be comfortable.

These are great shoes. They look terrific, and you can walk in them over cobbled stones in Italy for days without pain. The only problem: if your feet swell on long airplane flights, you may need to wait a couple of days to wear these shoes because of the top straps; otherwise, they're wonderful shoes.

Love these! They are super comfortable! I did get these in a size 7 although I usually wear a 7 1/2 and they fit perfectly.

I absolutely love these shoes. I am a teacher and am on my feet all day long and these are by far the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. They fit me perfectly and my feet are average, not wide or narrow. I like the cross strap so I don't feel like the shoes will fly off my feet as many backless shoes do. The color is beautiful. My favorite shade of purple. My colleagues and my students have all complimented my shoes. I am planning to order the blue next. I will be traveling to Europe for a month this summer and these shoes will travel with me! I highly recommend these shoes!
