Customer Reviews Ahnu Karma

I love these shoes! I am between a 7.5 and 8 in shoes. I went with the 7.5's and they fit perfectly. I would say these run on the bigger size so if you're between, go with the smaller size. I love the blue...it's a nice change from black. Super comfy, nice support and the straps aren't tight like some sandals.

Love this product! I have a lot of foot problems and am not able to wear most sandals/flip flops. These shoes protect my heels and toes without me needing to wear socks in the summer. They are dressy enough to be worn with skirts/sundresses but also look good with pants/shorts. I also have a hard time keeping shoes on my feet,so I really like the comfortable straps that keep them in place. The straps have just enough give in them and the back of the shoe is also soft and stretchy. I love that the interior is leather (which soaks up sweat without smelling bad) and the rubber underneath gives great traction and comes up a little in front to keep the front of the shoe from getting scuffed up. I also have extremely high arches, and although they don't have high arch support, they are one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn (and I sometimes am on my feet all day). A wonderful product!

I love these shoes. I have problem feet (fallen arches, walk a lot and hard!) and these have been awesome for walking. I have been looking for a shoe to wear during the summer for walking that are still cute and supportive and not closed like sneakers and these are it! The only problem is that they can get stinky.

I love this shoe! Truth is I bought them in black first, they were so comfortable I sought out the purple. Which for some reason are hard to find. This shoe is incredibly soft inside. I found no blisters and not one spot of irritation on my feet. They do run a bit big on size. I usually wear an 8 1/2 to 9, on these an 8 fits perfect.

Ahnu is one of my new favorites. These shoes are cute and comfortable. They also fit true to size. The only slightly negative thing I have to say is that my toes get kind of sweaty in them. I will wear them to Italy in a few weeks and put them to the true test! I suspect they will do fine.

I love these shoes so much I now own the black, green, and plum colors. They are perfect for work and dress up or down, and I've gotten more compliments on the green than I've ever gotten on shoes before. Random strangers even feel compelled to comment. And they are comfortable right away, no heel slippage, no scrunching toes to keep them on. I usually wear a 9.5 so was concerned the 10 might be too big, but they are perfect. The elastic in the heel makes for a perfect fit without rubbing or chafing.

Really comfortable and cute. Don't look clunky. Look good with dress or pants.

I find these shoes to be quite comfortable and pretty stylish. I would order them again.

I really like these shoes. I have wide feet so it took a little time to get them to stretch, but now they fit very comfortably. I wouldn't wear them to walk long distances, but they are pretty comfortable for walking around and doing errands etc. My only dislike of these shoes are that the toe portion hits my toes so that I have toe cleavage, but it's not a deal breaker for me. I love the green color, want them in black and may even get them in the plum color.

These shoes are so cute I'm trying to make them work. The arch support isn't quite good enough to wear them on my upcoming trip but I may keep them for days at home without long days of walking.

I bought this shoe in two colors for an upcoming trip to Europe. I wear an 11, so finding comfortable walking shoes that are also cute in large sizes can be tough. These are adorable on! The length felt true. The shoes, though not wide felt very roomy. The leather is soft. There is good support built in. I had no time to break in the shoes But the shoes were great! My feet never felt fatigued at all. The cross strap did rub a little on the outside edge of my foot in the first few wearings. I used Band Aid advanced Healing Blister Ampoules (they are rubbery and flesh colored) to protect the tender spot, and they worked great. There is one con, though. The leather is so soft that by the end of my trip, the heel of the shoe was falling down during during regular walking. I may have stepped on the heel of the shoe accidentally when i had a blister from my other pair of walking shoes, and caused that to happen, but I cannot really wear them now because the shoe falls off. I have the pearl color which I did not take on the trip. Upon trying it on at home, the heal feels more structured and not as flexible as the black pair. I think they will hold up fine. The black pair got intensive use.

These are a comfortable neutral flat for running around. I wouldn't go for an extended walk with them. I tried several colors and decided to keep the neutral.

Great find! This shoe is sooo comfy and versatile, cute and even flattering. Lots of cushion underfoot. Cute with shorts, pants and skirts - that's tough to find! Only caviat, not for walking any distance - at least not without socks- as the foot moves around quite a bit causing a broad blister.

Cute shoe, but it felt like my feet were hanging over the edges, even though I don't have particularly wide feet. The cross straps were a bit tight but I imagine with wear they'd loosen up. I ended up returning and going with the Ahnu Crissy instead.

I love this shoe except for one thing: it makes my feet sweat excessively. It is very surprising since the entire side of the shoe is open, with only the toes and heels being covered. I have these in the black full-grain leather; I wonder if that makes a difference? I am not normally a foot sweater at all. I have several other black leather ballet-style flats that aren't as comfortable but don't cause any foot sweating, even though they cover more of my foot. That being said, these have such a comfortable footbed, decent arch support (so hard to find in flats!), soft leather uppers that don't rub straight out of the box, and are super cute. People ask me where I got them almost every time that I wear them. I thought I had found the perfect casual flat for traveling! So close but so frustrating, because it isn't just a little bit of sweating, it's quite excessive. I've added an absorbent foot liner, but it's still a problem and prevents me from wearing them as much as I otherwise would. So weird for such an open shoe that you think would be super breathable! Has anyone else had this problem?

I have this shoe in the burgundy color and absolutely love it. I bought this one for fall and like it a lot. The fit/style are the same as my other but the color is dull. It is listed as brown, however, it really looks more like a dull gray. I would like a better color selection.

After reading many, many reviews, I bought these shoes for my two week trip to Europe. I had read they were very comfortable, durable shoes. I normally wear an 8.5 to 9, so I ordered an 8.5. They were a little too big in length, but the sides of the front section were pinching me a little bit, so I stuck with them. The sides did stretch out a little bit and they were very comfortable to wear to work as I was breaking them in. When I wore them in Europe and was walking 6-8 miles a day, my feet got very sore and I had to switch to my Merrells (my feet never hurt while wearing them). Also, be warned that they do get stinky/make your feet stinky. Overall though, I find them extremely comfortable for basic every day use, but they're not meant for excessive walking. I love how easy they were to take on an off (great for airport security) and that they can work as casual shoes, or slightly dressy.

A bit too wide for my foot...my foot is not exceptionally narrow but I do have a half size difference in my feet...so the smaller foot didn't fit as well. The elastic on the heel wasn't tight enough to keep it on my foot.

Very cute shoes, but unlike the other reviewers, I did not find them comfortable at all. Fairly flat on the inside with minimal arch and they gave no support to the sides of my feet at all. Soles were very thin and I'm sure if I had worn them outside I would have felt the rocks through the soles. I need something more supportive for all day wearing so these had to go back. They are cute though.

The shoes are very pretty and they work in after a few walks. I do wish that the manufacturer Ahnu would make the straps so we could use them to our each customer’s foot so they fit across the top. Every maker is cutting these days.

These shoes fit great! I was concerned that perhaps the cross-straps might be too loose (8 1/2 B my size) as my foot is slender but they are not. Not tight either, I must add. I bought them for my upcoming 3 week trip to Europe and wearing them now to break them in has shown their great comfort -- and look. I did use a permanent black marker to color the gray insole where it shows on either side of the shoe -- looks much better.

LOVE these shoes. Bought them for a trip to Spain and wore them every day, averaging 10 miles of walking a day on city streets, cobblestones, dusty parks - everywhere. Not a rub or a blister in sight (even though I had a spot that sort of pinched when I wore them around the house before committing - was never a concern). Great arch support for the type of shoe. My only complaint is that because the sides are open, you do get a fair amount of dust under your foot and the insole gets a little cruddy requiring daily scrubbing with a coin. Highly recommended.

Super cute and comfy, but runs large. I usually wear a 7.5, but that size Karma was huge. A 7 was still too roomy for me and the 6.5 snug. Since they're leather, I chose the 6.5 with hopes they'll stretch a little. The Karma is a darling, quick slip-on, pair of fun.

I got this shoe in black and debated whether I should return for a few days, because it's not a tight fit like most new shoes. But I kept them and wear them fairly often. Overall, they are good shoes, comfortable and very lightweight. I do wish they had a better arch support.
