I love these boots! I have narrow heels and have put up with ill-fitting men's boots for years, because it was so hard to find women's boots bigger than Size 10. The Size 11 is perfect, will even allow for heavy socks in colder temps. I love Zappos! I had a problem with a BB-sized lump under the lining poking my ankle bone, and Zappos replaced them at the same sale price, wow! Nice color selectiom, but I chose black. Very supportive and confortable, no break-in time.

Fits like a glove from moment I put it on. Thanks to Zappos I tried 7 different hiking boots from keen, timberland and Columbia. They were fine and felt ok but as soon as I put this Ahnu on it was soooo perfect. Soft inside and tongue integrated so it doesn't fall to side. Most importantly a Cush to your walk. I walked 5 miles today and 4 miles on other days. I forgot I had on boots because so comfortable. These are great great hiking boots. And they look good with jeans.

OMG! I was in disbelief at how many glowing reviews this boot had. As a skeptic, I figured they were fake. However, I figured I'd give these a try anyway, they are returnable, right? Well, I walk A LOT for excercise, minimal 5 miles/day. I trekked these around my kitchen for 20 minutes straight without any irriation, so I thought they were safe to keep. I have now worn these the past two days throughout the work day and walked about 7 miles/day. No pain, no rubbing, no discomforts. I love them! I was afraid to show my husband the price, but now that I have worn them I will say they are well worth every penny. Can't wait to take them on vacation in a few days.
Very lightweight, I live in a super hot climate and they aren't too hot. Nice materials, and not super bulky looking. I am petite, and wanted comfort, without them being super gawky looking. I think I found a winner. Also, I ordered my normal size, a 6 1/2 and they fit great. I did not size up as some people suggested, they do seem to have stretched very slightly with wear.

Great right out of the box! The quality of workmanship is evident when you first set eyes on them, but the feel and function won me over!

This is my second pair of Montana hiking boots. I've finally worn out my first pair but will use them for work around the property. No break in needed these boots fit my narrow foot like a glove with excellent arch support. At seventyone hiking is still my favorite experience and thanks to these boots I have many more years to comfortably hike on.

Unlike most hiking boots that are so bulky, heavy and 'manly' looking...these boots are really nice looking, tailored and lightweight. Wore them on a 5 mile hike right out of the box and they were really comfortable!

Great hiking boot right out of the box. True to size. Love the removable insoles so I can use my orthotics easily. Most comfortable of the 5 different styles I tried on. And, of course, LOVE Zappos - great prices, quick delivery, excellent selection. What's not to love?

I have arthritis on my toes and need a spacious toe box on my hiking boots. This boots are perfect in that sense. They are also very stylish and do not need any break in. They could use a bit more arch support, but nothing mayor. I used them for the first time on a 7 mile mountain hike. Did not get any blisters, and felt comfortable all day.

LOVE these hiking boots. I was looking for something with all the great support, but without all the flashy colors and shapes that most athletic shoes have. I ordered a half size larger as I do in all my athletic shoes and they are a perfect fit.

These things are the single best shoe purchase I've ever made in my life. I've owned them for a couple of years now and probably out well over 600 miles on them. I walk about 5-7 miles a day, and wear them most days. They're insanely comfortable, took zero time to break in, and show no signs of falling apart.

I bought these after trying them on during a trip when money was a bit short! I got home and ordered , as I went on an Italy trip with lots of hiking and walking planned. That was almost 2 years ago and these boots have been awesome to say the least. They were comfy right out of the box and I have some serious foot "issues"! I wore them daily, hiked miles up and down mtns, on endless walking tours of miles and they werecomfy and best of all, even in pouring rain, my feet were dry.
2 yrs later... still wearing them and during a rather wet hike, like deep water puddles , I got thru and the only wet feet came from water coming over the top of these great boots. Still water resistant after all the wear they have had. I hike in them each spring and Fall, wear them for yard work all summer and love them. All I have done is buy new inner soles to add support in their older age. A new pair will be ordered for a Portugal trip in Sept. I love these boots . Tried the sugar pine ones but they were not as comfy as these boots. Thanks, Ahnu!

I LOVE these boots. They are lightweight and super comfortable. I've been wearing them as hiking boots, rain boots and to walk the dog.

This is my second pair of Anhu Montana boots. My first pair was terrific they just got worn out after a year of hiking and urban adventure. I like the fact that they are not super "chunky" and I can wear them for urban adventures as well as light hiking. They provide enough support and traction for functions in the city and on the trails. I chose the grey color and I have received many compliments on them!

Love these boots! Fit perfectly & was able to wear right out of the box with no break in period. We have had snow then mixed with rain, lots of slush all winter long. These keep my feet nice & dry plus have been warm enough to boot...I did read the reviews before ordering & did order a 1/2 size up, glad I did because I think my foot would have hit the end otherwise.

I loved these boots but I ordered a half size up because of the reviews but they were too big. In the meantime I dscovered that my older pair of Ahnu boots are water proof. So I really didn't need this pair after all. I may order them again later after my vacation to Alaska.

Wore these just about every day for three months and no complaints. Great field boot to have in Antarctica. It was plenty warm walking between buildings at -40 but I'd say not good to stand in the snow for any length of time... Not sure if my feet just got cold or if a little moisture would get in. Once it warmed up a bit (above 0F) they were perfect. Good design and sturdy build. I'm often a 9.5 and in boots usually a 10, but these fit just right in a 9.

The boot felt more like a sneaker than a hiking boot. Did not have much support.

These fit like a glove right out of the box! I tend to hate socks, and have worn these in Michigan winters and in the Costa Rican jungle. My feet are so happy in these, and they have endured every sort of weather. I also walk a lot in them - sometimes 10-13 miles a day. These boots are not phased, and my feet, ankles, knees and hips don't complain after these walks either! Will ALWAYS come back to these boots

I haven't had the opportunity to use these in all situations yet, but did a 4 mile easy hike in them and they were comfy right out of the box. The ankle support is somewhat rigid, but was not uncomfortable for me. It will probably be good on a more strenuous hike. Wore them in 30 degrees on a windy day and my feet stayed warm and dry.

I love these boots. I did a lot of research before buying another pair of hiking boots and I can honestly say that these boots did not let me down. I took a risk trying a new brand, but I have felt as though Merrell's quality and comfort has been in decline these last couple of years. I have worn the Montara through all seasons now (even through the New England snow, harnessed in my snow shoes) and my feet have been nothing but happy, dry and blister-free. If you hate heavy boots, but like to keep your feet dry and warm, but not sweaty (who doesn't?), the Montara boot is for you. They still look brand new, despite trekking through rocky, muddy and dusty trails and even the rough streets of NYC! They don't scream, 'HIKER BOOTS', so I have worn them around town with a pair of jeans or khaki shorts. Ankle support is moderate, but I don't get on many technically difficult trails, so I can't judge as a hard-core hiker. Sole has taken a lot more wear-and-tear than my Keen and Merrell boots. Breathable, reliable, waterproof, all around great boot.

I ordered these boots based on others recommendations and am delighted with them They are lightweight and very comfortable. I love the waterproofed leather (and the muir green color). As others suggested, I ordered a holf size larger and they fit perfectly. First hike with them they were a bit stiff but didn't rub anywhere. As with all hiking boots the round shoelaces are hard to keep tied. Can't wait to to take them out for another spin soon.

These are AMAZING boots! I usually can't stand hiking boots because they're too wide and make me trip, but these have a narrow enough shape to keep me hiking along with no issues. I successfully summoned Angels Landing at Zion National Park with these boots, and I'm so glad I took the time to do my research in advance. (Biggest advice: find some good wool hiking socks! A must-have.)
