Customer Reviews Ahnu Sugarpine

I needed waterproof hikers, and these are the best I've tried on. Very comfortable. Not too stiff. They fit my feet perfectly. I have narrow feet and I'm not sure how these would fit someone with wider feet. Even cinched up there's a gap across the tongue where it laces, looking as though they are too narrow for my foot, which they aren't. I would try them for sure!

love these shoes. i originally got an 8 (normal size) but they were a little bug, a 7.5 fit perfect. bought them for my trip to Ireland for a lot of hiking. they kept by feet warm and dry!

Purchased these shoes solely because the minute I put them on they felt like slippers! It gets better, took them to Minnesota & Michigan in the fall where it gets very wet in the mornings. They kept my feet so dry and warm I almost couldn't believe it. They are easy to wipe clean and feel like slippers all day long.

I ordered these based on the huge amount of consistently positive reviews. So, far, these don't disappoint. While I have yet to experience an entire day wearing them, these Sugerpines feel great during my thrice-a-day dog walks! I have the black aubergine color (putting the word "black" in the color name is misleading...these are beautiful plum-colored shoes) and I've gotten multiple compliments on them. They don't look like hiking shoes, but their stability makes me think they'd hold up well on the trails. I was looking for something nicer than a running shoe, yet still casual enough to wear about town with workout clothes while running errands. Comfort was my main issue, as I've recently had pain with osteoarthritis in my big toe, a bunion and some upper-foot pain as well. There is enough room in these to slip in my arch supports, though not everyone with fallen arches will feel the need for the additional support. The shoes come with two sets of laces - the whitish ones as shown in the photo, as well as a pair of plum-colored ones to match the shoe. I prefer the latter, as it allows the shoe less of an athletic-shoe appearance. I'm looking forward to enjoying these for a long time!

I bought this shoe to wear to a Master Naturalist convention. It is the most comfortable shoe I've had in a long time. It is waterproof so it stays dry in the wet grass and it keeps your feet warm if you're sitting in an inside long meeting. Great find!

I usually wear Merrill hiking shoes but wanted to try this brand for some time. They are very comfortable, and look nice. I normally wear a size 6 in regular shoes but ordered a 6.5 because my feet tend to swell. I put them on with normal socks and the feel great. I don't think they will need any break in time. Plus the shoelaces stay tied unlike some of my others. Plan on taking these to Washington in December.

Great support,excellent waterproof with out being too warm. Love the color too.

I ordered a half size up to accommodate mid-weight socks. This is a fine shoe. Really comfortable. No rubbing at the heel or ankle. After wearing it in the house for a few hours, it was clear this was a keeper. It is very supportive. Haven't tried the waterproof claim yet. It has some flair, too. A good looking, comfortable shoe.

Great support shoes. I've been looking for "cute" comfortable shoes. I have a high arch and other issues with my feet. These are like having slippers on with support. They are constructed well. I also like the price $117.00 and the color. What a deal My feet are happy I bought a size 1/2 larger as other reviews suggested and they fit perfectly

This is a great product! I wore them daily for a month during a recent trip to Europe. The shoe is extremely well constructed. The material is exceptionally flexible, and small amount of extra space in toe bed length is exceptionally comfortable. Great sole on wet surface or dry, cobblestone or hiking trail or pavement. Highly recommended!

Love these shoe-boots. Sturdy but light and totally comfortable for standing all day long.

Best hiking/walking shoes I've ever had. So comfortable and so cute. Love the color selection.

This is a sturdy well crafted shoe. After hiking in them, I realize the narrow heel makes my heels and feet ache. I have to go up a half size and recommend you do too. The water proof feature works beautifully. Your feet will be hot in long walks because of the waterproofing. Otherwise this is an amazing shoe made with comfort in mind.

What a find for us narrow-heeled folks! Cradles and cushions my heels like no other walking shoe has. I bought these for a spring trip to Japan. Light for walking on city pavement, waterproof for rainy days, and with treads to allow me to do some extended uphill hikes. Lastly, these don't look like your traditional hiking boots and can double as casual walkers. Love these. Bought 2 pair.

I bought my first pair of Ahnus more than 6 years ago, and while I still have them and love them (I had to add a new insole), I wanted something a little sturdier so I got the sugarpine. I love the sugarpine, but the length is just a smidge short...I kept them but I have to remember to wear a thinner sock with them or my toes are aching by the end of my walk.

Great pair of hiking shoes. I bought these to wear while working on an outside project. During a light rain & resulting mud, my feet were warm & dry. The arch support makes these very comfortable.

Comfortable (as advertised) with very little break in required. Waterproof (as advertised). I appreciate that these come in so many interesting colors rather than the standard "blend in with the dirt" colors of most hiking boots. I don't seem to need arch support like so many others, so pay no attention to my arch support rating (since I'm not sure how to even answer that one).

This shoe is beyond fabulous. I had major right foot and left knee surgeries. This shoe has been a life saver in my recovery. It can accommodate my custom orthotics and it has style.I am so pleased and grateful.

I needed waterproof shoes that would replace my worn-down Brooks Adrenaline GTX. I wasn't happy with the available colors on their latest version, so I decided to shop for another brand. These Ahnus really meet my needs. They're comfortable right out of the box, but not in a squishy sort of way. The footbed is firm but very supportive. I love the available colors. The Black Aubergine is fun and funky without screaming "Rainbow Sherbet" like so many athletic shoes these days. I use these primarily for my work as a massage therapist, as well as for walking my dogs. These shoes have excellent traction on loose, gravelly surfaces while we're out walking the trails. I plan to use these to replace activities that I would use for a typical athletic shoe. My podiatrist was impressed by the supportive nature of these shoes, too. I'm recovering from a toe injury and he thought that the shoes would support my healing well.

Overall a nice shoe, well made and fashionable color but the toe box was too narrow for me. I have narrow heels and there was no slippage there but my toes were cramped.

Bought these for the waterproof feature, was very happy that they are comfortable enough to wear all day. I usually need inserts, not with these.

Love these shoes. Got them in black for the winter. I was looking for a lighter pair for the spring. Like the color and fit, but not what I had in mind for a lighter walking shoe for light hikes.

I read that these run small - I usually wear a 9, so I figured 9.5 would do justice. Unfortunately, they were way too large. I also ordered a 9 (to be on the safe side) - they felt pretty much true to size but were a bit wide and made my ankles feel awkward - the shoes were rubbing against them. I really wanted to love them - but they're going back.

LOVE this shoe my feet have been sore for a long time. I have hiked across sticks, in the water, in the mud and they really do support your foot well. I also like the firm sole it helps you keep steady on your feet. I felt they were a little narrow across the ball area of the foot but they keep your foot in place therefore no blisters. No break in time either right out of the box they are great. Will buy these again thinking I will get the non waterproof ones for work. I stand on my feet most of the day 8-10 hours a day and think they will be wonderful.
