Correct sizes please!
Love the shoes but did not heed the warning about ordering a half size larger. I ordered red size 9 the first time and I could feel my toes curling up! Zappos was super about the return and I then ordered a half size up (9.5) in blue. I have a narrow foot and definitely wore thin socks to avoid blisters. I am a teacher and will use this kind of shoe.

Comfy and cute!
I've been very pleased with these shoes. They started out feeling a little short, even though I ordered them in my normal size, but now they feel just right. I tried a half size larger and that was too big. They feel good and look great.

GREAT and COMFORTABLE!
Having broken my ankle (twice) and never seeming to find a shoe that's comfortable, I hit the gold mine with this model. This shoe is one of the few that actually feels comfortable to wear all day long. I hope there will be more styles coming down the road.

Best shoe ever!
After reading all the negative reviews, I was hesitant… but it just isn't true. I have incredibly high arches so it’s tough to find a comfortable, flat shoe with enough arch support, but these are amazing. Better than Merrell or Keen. Fits like a size 6, roomy without being wide, been wearing them for months and ready to get my second pair!

I love these shoes. The one tiny nit pick is that the ribbon to secure them is a bit delicate. Perhaps the manufacturer can make it out of a tougher material. That is the only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5. They are wonderfully comfortable.

Very cute shoe!
This shoe is very cute and stylish. It feels more like a sandal than a sports shoe. It is not a very substantial shoe...Do not think you can hike in it or walk off trail with this shoe. It has minimal support, similar to a sandal. It looks great with capris! I wear it with and without socks. The strap on the top of the shoe is capable of loosening and tightening for a more custom fit. I thought when I purchased this shoe I could use it for travel, but it does not give enough support for walking in it with heavy luggage or a backpack. But I am not disappointed as they are extremely comfortable (slipper-like) and super cute!

Size 5.5/6 review -
I love this shoe... it feels great and looks great with shorts, jeans or a skirt... for my fat short foot they seemed to work beautifully; however, I am usually a size 5.5 and ended up with a size 6... The other day they got kind of wet. And now they seem snug. So order bigger.

Really cute but not the comfort I assumed. BAD blisters in the first hour of wearing and even wearing them over really didn't seem to help.

Cute and sporty little shoe -
Just got these shoes - have a slightly wide foot and after a little breaking in (do a day with socks to avoid rubbing on those baby toes) they are fantastic. I'm a stay at home mom and these have become my new all-around shoes. So adorable!

All around amazing shoe -
Comfortable, fits a wider foot as well as a regular width, great feeling in the instep, really loved this shoe, ordered several more pair of different styles. True to size. Highly recommend in any of the styles.

Strap doesn’t hold up to use...
Honestly I loved these shoes. Cute and in my color! I got LOTS of compliments on them and they felt good walking, but the strap that keeps them on your feet doesn’t hold up. It’s sad to say, but I had to return these as "defective" because of that and go with a different kind. The plastic buckle has "teeth" on it that bite down on the strap to keep the strap from slipping, but after 2 months of use every day, the teeth have nearly torn through the strap. You would have NEVER known you would have this problem with a nylon strap like that, but I have to wonder if the strap was torn apart by the type of teeth they use on the buckle. I have other shoes like this with the nylon strap and buckle and have never had this problem, so something to think about because it would be VERY hard to fix this with a shoe repair store because the strap is sewn into the body. Also, it would be impossible to color match. You may want to think of that if you want these shoes long term.

Purchase snug -
These shoes are worth the short breaking in period! The area in the toes felt snug in my normal size, however, the next half size up felt the same (just that the arch support was off). I decided to keep the size I normally wear, even though they were restrictive in the toes. I first wore them with no socks... big mistake, but after breaking them in with socks, they feel great! They are my favorite shoes. The toe area stretched gently and the fit is perfect. The color selection is fantastic. "Feel Good" shoes without the clunky soles!

I am working for the Peace Corps and have to cover some rugged turf as I visit Volunteers. These shoes have held up really well and always look nice when I get to my meeting or final destination. I am going to order a second pair!

Pretty comfy, pretty cute -
I got this shoe as a comfy summer sneaker and I think it's pretty perfect for that. The heels are a bit stiff rub a little, I think they'll require a little breaking in before I can wear them without socks. Otherwise, they're light and comfy and breathable, hopefully will be great spring/summer walking shoes.

Perfect for me, Keens are too wide -
I am so happy to have found this brand. My feet are too narrow to wear Keens (is it just me or are Keens ridiculously wide?), but these are so cute and fit great, though I did have to go up a half size. No problem with heel for me, they just fit like they were custom made for my feet. So if Keens seem too wide for you, try the Ahnus. Great shoe.

Cute Comfy Shoe -
I wear this shoe with short socks, so I haven't had any problems with the beel problem that a lot of others have noted. It is about 1/2 size smaller than normal and super comfortable, especially if you have wide feet like I do. It is light and feels like you're walking with tennis shoes... well cushioned and good support.

This is pretty comfortable, but one shoe did have a very stiff heel that I am still breaking in by wearing these with socks.

Cute and comfortable -
I really like these shoes. They fit great and look cute. I am a big fan of Keen's but these just seem a little more feminine. I don't have the heel-rubbing problem and I think the strap is so handy. Very comfortable and breathable. I ordered these on Friday evening and they were delivered on Monday. Free Shipping! Gotta love it.

Ouch... terrible fit.
I love the way this shoe looks and really wanted it to work, but it was way too uncomfortable. I also ordered the Keen Amsterdams, which are almost identical in looks and the comfort and fit didn't compare. It was a no brainer to buy the Keens. Also, I ordered this shoe a 1/2 size larger due to the comments, but that was way too big for me. I would say it would be more true to fit except for the width.

Bloody Heels -
They are cute. My heels bled and blistered on the initial wearing. Ouch. They do not look so cute with a large bandage on my Achilles tendon.

Good, but a bit stubby looking shoe. Needed a half size larger in length (which I got), but the width is about a half size too wide making the shoe hard to wear without socks. The fastening is not easy to adjust.

Versatile shoes -
I'm not totally in love with this shoe because of the heel rubbing problem, but it does have very deep insoles that come out, so I replaced them with two layers to give me a cushy, custom feel. Once I got enough padding under my heels and pushed down on the backs of the shoes a bit, the heel rubbing is manageable. I wear them with thick socks for another layer of cushioning, so they don't feel quite as breathable as I thought they would be despite being made of mesh. The red color is more of a purple-red than an orange-red, so it can be hard to coordinate with other clothes.
