Customer Reviews Ahnu Sugarpine

Everything about this shoe screamed keep me, but in the end the tongue of the shoe bugged the top of my foot bad enough [folding and crimping up] to give in a return them. They are pretty cozy and look good but in the end another pair beat them out for all around comfort.

these were too tight in the toe box, i have a wide foot. will return them, unfortunately a larger size would probably be too long. but nice shoe!

For those who suffer from lateral foot pain, beware. Even with the insole removed, this shoe has raised edges on the footbed that can cause pain on the side of the foot. The footbed is similar to Merrill (I can't wear them either) and sometimes Keens. But I have feet that require a fairly flat footbed all around except at the arch, where I need moderate support. This does have good support, but the excessively high edges of the footbed are a problem. Otherwise the shoe is solid and seems well made.

I wonder if the shoes I received are a defect? These Ahnu's are SO comfortable and love the style and color, except the tongue of the shoe has a hard edge in one small spot on each side that digs into the top of my foot, so I would end up having to modify these with scissors or purchase pads for the top of my foot which won't work. SO bummed, I love these, wish the tongue was not painful. But I know over time it will rub and not be a good situation. I will try another pair because I truly love Ahnu's, they are some of the most comfortable shoes out there. And I am a size 8-8 1/2 for narrow toe beds, this shoe I was definitely an 8. I didn't feel the sharp points on the tongue until I laced them up, so putting them on I was like oh yeah, these are amazing! But no dice for me on these.

This shoe looks good and I wanted something different. It has great arch support and fits in the width and toe area, but my heel slips and is loose no matter how tight I get the laces. Laces are very short, so it is hard to double not these. I am returning as I am afraid if I wore them, I would get a blister from the loose heel fit. Felt true to size except heel. Any smaller and my toe would hit the end.

Cute looking shoe, but sadly going back. The shoe just comes up to high along my ankle, inset and heel. I can't imagine wearing this shoe for any longer than 5 minutes, let alone a full day of hiking. I ordered a 9.5 when I normally wear a 9, and still felt my big toe against the toe box.

Oddly enough the heel isn't to bad or wide but the sides of the foot are ginormous. you can stuff small maxi pad in there. I have skinny feet with high arches. These look like clown shoes on me .. The picture is deceiving. Other than that its a great fit and an attractive shoe that would be awesome in all months but winter.

Comfortable, however, heel wore down in two months. I walk daily. Per manufacturer this should not have happened so I would not buy again as they will become unusable due to this. Manufacturer said should not happen, meant for heavy walking.

When I first put these on, I was so pleased that they had arch support, felt light, and were wide enough for my wide forefoot and narrow heel. Plus it is hard to find shoes that are waterproof and wide. I wore them around the house just to make sure. Thrilled. BUT - then I took a walk outside. I don't know if I have a different stride outdoors or what, but the shoe has a bend right at the joint of my big toe and has been pressing into that joint - hard. Bummer! And now I've worn them outdoors, which means I can't return them. Hopefully this is just a breaking in issue.

I would like to give this shoe a better rating, as they worked well for awhile. I really used them for just a nice looking kicking around shoe, and not for hiking. And for that, they were fine. But when I did use them for hiking, they quickly fell apart..not physically, but they got wet (not soaking wet, but just wet from heavy dew) on a hike, and since then, they squeaked. I have done everything I can to lessen this, but to no avail. Perhaps if I had tried them earlier as a real hiking shoe, I might have been able to have some recourse, but who wants to go around in a squeaky shoe? Even my husband noticed, so it wasn't like I was uber sensitive to it. I won't be buying Ahnu's again.

The shoes smell awful! From first day out of box they haves smelled awful! No amount of airing out helps!

So sad. They are just too narrow, especially in the heel. The toe bed was fine but through the arch and heel - no way. They are so cute, but modest, well constructed and felt supportive. I really wanted them to fit.

These shoes are not waterproof. Dampness seeps into the Gore-Tex. They are being returned. Too bad because the styling is good and they felt good on my narrow feet which need orthotics.

material felt like cardboard instep was way to low my heels kept sliding out every time I walked. lately every shoe I have tried on the heels are super wide
