Customer Reviews Ahnu Gracie

Great shoes. Have them in two colors. These have great support and look awesome with any outfit. I'm super picky on comfort, these are a winner!

I bought this shoe for a trip to Italy. We were in Assisi which is very hilly and I needed a shoe that would be comfortable, and I didn't want to wear athletic shoes. This fit the bill, and I am happy to say it worked out well. The shoe required little/no breaking in and was lightweight...great for travel. I can wear it both with and without socks. It's a soft black and the embroidery makes for a cute detail. I was very happy with my purchase.

For someone with size 10 feet, these shoes are flattering and cute without being ultra-fancy. As other bigfooters know, it's not easy to find shoes that don't look like clown shoes sometimes. These aren't the most comfortable shoes I've ever had but they are suitable for an 9 hour workday. I have a normal foot and these felt true to size, no rubbing the back of my heels like Privos sometimes do, and they don't feel like they're falling off when I climb stairs. All in all, worth the price.

I love these shoes! I purchased them in Cobblestone (tan) and they are absolutely adorable. The diagonal strap keeps them from looking like just another Mary Jane and the leaf cut outs and blue accents give them personality. I have worn them with both jeans and casual skirts. I ordered my normal size 9 and the fit is fine. Occasionally I feel the tips of my toes brush the end of the toe box, but it is not a deal breaker; half a size larger would have been too big. They even provide some arch support, which is a definite plus for me. I have very high arches. The biggest plus is that I can wear these shoes all day and my feet and knees do not hurt like they do with some of my cheaper flats/casual shoes with less support.

These are the most versatile, comfortable shoes in my closet (and on my feet)! I wear them with and without socks, with skirts, dresses, shorts. I wore them all day walking on vacation and they stood up to the challenge! Thank you, Ahnu, for remaining consistent in sizing. Keen always seems to run short and my beloved Privo has been running small lately.

These shoes seem very well-made with excellent arch support, cushioned insoles and toe protection, and the strap is adjustable with Velcro. I like the style, it is cute and casual. However, it feels quite big for the size and my feet is flapping around in them. I will try a smaller size than my usual one.

These shoes are very comfortable. When I first tried them on, the arch seemed to be not exactly in the right place (too far back, if that makes sense). However, after a couple wearings, I find them very comfortable. Ahnu generally runs a bit large so I usually order a half size smaller than I wear in other shoes. The leather cutouts are cute and I get many compliments on them.

I'm sorry I need to return these cute, comfortable shoes. But...color of these shoes was green, not chocolate chip. Also they ran very large compared to other Ahnu shoes I have.

I usually wear an 8, but these were way too big. I am returning them because I'm afraid a 7.5 will be long enough, but still too wide.

I kept these shoes even though they were a little big. They fit ok with socks, but they look silly with socks. I wish they had better arch support, and that the strap across the top could be adjusted to be tighter. At the tightest setting it is too loose. I wear a size 11, and many shoes have too much room on the top- I guess they think if you have big feet you must have thick feet.

Very cute shoe, but my heel slips around and length is a bit too long. Also binding across top cuts into my foot.If not for the fit issues I'd keep them but must return. Great service at Zappos always!

These shoes are comfortable, have room for me to include arch support inserts, but are a little stiff. Not so much that they are uncomfortable. I have fairly narrow feet and high arches. I wear them with jeans and with dresses.

I so wanted these shoes to work for me. They are very cute. My foot is wide with high arches and the front part of the shoe dug into the top of my foot. I tried both the 7.5 (since people said these run big) and the 8 to no avail. It would have been nice (again give my high instep) if the strap were more adjustable (I felt like I was stretching the elastic). Thank goodness for Zappos' return policies.

Following the advice of other reviewers (so helpful, thanks!), I ordered a half size down. It was too tight for my wide feet with high insteps. Darn! Loved the grey color ("Rabbit") too. The heel seemed a bit loose, so I am thinking my regular size won't work. Love Zappos easy returns though!

I already own two pairs of these in New Black and Coffee Bean and have been wearing both of them for about a year. I just purchased a second pair of these in the "New Black" since my first pair from last Spring has seen better days. Looking at the new pair it seems like Ahnu changed the "New Black" a little bit from last year. Sizing is smaller, the color is darker than my other pair (which was a perfect dark grey) and the quality of the material feels cheaper. My expectations were not met with this new pair. I was planning on wearing these while traveling in the next couple of days and now am thinking I'll be sending these back.

These provide very good arch support. I am 7N, and this 7M fit when I added an additional thin foam footbed. It is a cute style that did not gap at sides like many others. The heel sits lower than the rest of the shoe, which was a bit uncomfortable for me.

I was looking for a shoe for trekking through Disney World, and I tried these and also the Karma. These are extremely comfortable. Soft upper, good support, plenty of toe room, no rubbing anywhere. In terms of comfort I would have worn them. I am usually an 8, and these fit perfectly in 8. However, I think they are kind of ugly. They look sort of clunky and sneakery - fine with capris, but not with skirts. I ended up buying the Karma, which is much cuter and more delicate looking (and just as comfortable). I will say that the "new black" (why don't they just call it gray?) is a good, neutral color that works with khakis as well as blacks.

This review is based on nine months of wearing two pairs of these shoes in a grey 9 and and a coffee brown 9.5 for work, every week. I'm on the smaller side of a size 9.5 and although I can wear the 9½ without them slipping, the 9 in this shoe has been the better fitting. I have plantar faciitis and the smaller size has also helped support my foot better than the larger size. The grey leather has stood up to time better than the brown. The brown leather has not tolerated getting even slightly wet (like with mild rain) and there are crinkly spots on the toes. Also, the leather has faded drastically on the brown pair causing a stronger two-tone look that is not all that attractive. Overall, these shoes are very versatile. The style is cute and they go with everything. I have worn them to work, playing with my kid, and out for casual date nights. My plantar faciitis does not flare up with these and the soles are sturdy (if not a tad bit clunky and heavy). I am glad that they are now in a true black color. I will probably get another pair just because they are easy to throw on and wear without hassle.

A very cute shoe. The shoe felt pretty true to size. My only problem was that my right foot happens to be slightly wider than my left foot - and as a result the strap across the right foot felt tight. A longer velcro enclosure would have helped in this situation (the current one is so short!). Otherwise, a very comfy and cute shoe.

I really wanted these to work. I am a 6½/7 and the 6½ was big, the 6 is too small. I ordered other Ahnus and they also ran almost an entire size big. They seem like they would be comfortable and not ugly. I ordered other brands - Naot, Merrell, and these were by far the cutest.

I have two pairs of these in the new black and the coffee bean and have been wearing the new black (really, it's GREY!) for about 5 months. I recommend sizing down. I wear a 9.5 and ordered a 9 in the new black and they fit fine. I have mild plantar fasciitis and I can wear them most of the day without problems. Four months later I decide they are so great as an everyday shoe that I ordered a second pair in the brown but forgot about sizing down and ordered my regular 9.5. They fit fine! Or so I thought. The slightly 'larger' size on my feet has given me a blister on one of my my pinkie toes and my feet get tired after only a few hours of wearing them. I don't flop out of them but they fit my feet differently. So, final opinion is that they are a fine shoe (I do get compliments) but if you have any foot issues, be warned that these may not have enough support. Also, the 'new black' is prone to looking dirty after normal use, the suede-like material tends to show scuffs and drops of food (I have a young child) fairly easily.

I am an 8½ (sometimes, but not often an 8). These shoes did fit very very well. They were immediately comfortable and needed no breaking in. I am a big fan of the diagonal strap - better hold than flats and Mary Janes are too girlish for my taste. The downside is the color. I would have preferred black, it is not a bad grey, but not sure how the suede-like fabric will wear and I like shoes to last for years. Then the cut outs are a little too country/hippy-style/girlish for my taste. There is also an ever-so-slight boxiness to the toe. Which I do not like, just my personal style.

Very cute shoes, and comfortable. Ahnu sizing is very inconsistent, though. In the Karma, the size 7 is perfect, in the Crissy a 6-1/2 works and in these, I am keeping the 7-1/2 even though they are a little long. The 7 in the Gracie rubbed my little toe where the design is. It does not on these and the strap keeps them on.
