Customer Reviews Ahnu Sugarpine Boot

Bought for Rocky Mountains hiking trip. Perfect from the first time I wore them. No blisters, no pain points, light and comfortable. Great boots.

I don't do a lot of hiking but I have a weak back so I need good traction on the ice and snow during my wintertime commuting. I'd never heard of the Ahnu brand before so it felt like a bit of a leap to buy these but I'm glad I did. These Sugarpine boots are great--warm, sturdy, dry, and comfortable. I like the color choices too--I bought a grey pair that have a bright aqua sole. The grey hides the slush very well, and the bright soles are a cheerful spot on gray winter days. Now I look forward to snow days. It may sound weird but I find these fashionable enough that if I need to go straight to a business meeting first thing in the morning, I can wear these with my dress pants, and they don't stand out as out of place like some boots would. The only thing that might be a criticism--and this is a very minor concern--is that they are VERY warm. I really couldn't imagine hiking in them, they are that warm. Great for winter but I can't use them on wet spring or fall days because my feet get too hot. I think I'll need to get another pair of Ahnus that aren't hightop boots for those days.

I used this boot on a 9 mile hike without having to break them in. They were extremely warm and I was wearing thick socks. I originally ordered a 7 due to other reviews saying to order 1/2 size up, but I exchanged them for a 6.5 and that fit perfectly. My foot might be on the smaller end of a 6.5, so measure your foot to be sure what size fits you. I trekked through mud, rocks and water and my socks were not wet at all. I gave a 4 for comfort because there is a slight sewing defect on the tongue and it digs into my foot a little, but I adjusted that part and it's not as bad. Overall - sturdy and warm boot, but still be careful when walking over wet rocks, as there it is still slippery.

I love the arch support in these boots. They feel like they were made for my feet. I've worn the boots only twice and find them to be a little tight across my toes, but I may just need to adjust the laces. I was in a hurry the other day and wore low socks and the sides rubbed my ankles a bit, but I like that they are on the stiff side because the support feels amazing

I just love the way these boots look and the fact that they are waterproof, but the length was fine, but they seem to run narrow. I can usually wear a medium shoe, but with these, I can only wear very thin socks. I am going to try a size up and see if that is better.

Got these today and it was raining all day my feet kept dry all day love them

I'm in love with these boots!!! I ordered them to wear camping and hiking in the mountains. they didn't need breaking in at all. No blisters or hurting feet. They were warm and comfy and nice and waterproof. It rained while camping and I had to wash something off in the shower in the bath house and wore them in there and they didn't leak. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I want more colors.

My gnarly feet love these! I rarely, possibly never, have found a shoe or boot that i slip on and I know they fit perfectly! My feet are complicated by being narrow, hammer toes, bunions, rheumatoid arthritis and just all around sensitive, from day one I wore these all day; walked 5 miles and gardened on uneven surfaces. I tested the waterproof-ness by hosing the boot off while still on my feet and absolutely they did not get wet. If I had one complaint it would be to add more cushion in the sole especially near the heel. But let me say, there is ample support and ample arch support.

The best pair of boots I have purchased!!! So comfortable and stylish. Thank you Zappos for another great order! You trully live by your motto. Great fast service.

Excellent boots!I went to Iceland on September and although i didnt encountered snow, the boots kept me warm and definetly waterproof. Very slip resistant, i couldnt believe it. I usually wear 8 and i bought them 7.5, perfect fit. Very stylish and lightweight.

These Ahnu Sugarpine Boots are great! I got them in all-black, and they don't scream "I JUST GOT BACK FROM A HIKE" if you decide to wear them off the trails. But, they are great for hiking -- waterproof and super comfortable. Wipe off easily -- tread is good for slippery and rocky conditions. I wore them on wet trail hikes -- perfect -- but I'm not so sure they'd be warm enough or have enough traction in winter. They are perfect for the rest of the year though.

Overall, I love this shoe. It does run a little small, so I ordered a half-size larger. Unfortunately, it's too narrow for my foot. So, I'll be returning the boot. I wish they had wider sizes.

I have been wearing the same boot for years. I had to stop wearing them after being resoled 3 times. It took a while for me to find these boots but I did with Zappos excellent customer service.Then we had to return and ship a larger size. I wear these boot 365 days of the year. They are light weight, have thinsulate for the winter and are great summer boots too. I just bought a second pair since my other favorites were soled (sic) out. They are pricey but I've been wearing my first pair for 2 years and they don't show any sign of wear. For light snow they do well. For heavy snow I've got my heavy duty snow boots. It's so nice to have a light boot that suits all temperature deviations in a year. They are colorful and look nice when worn out for a casual dinner. They also have a great color selection that allows me to be a mountain woman with some style!

Needed new hiking boots for a trip to Peru. After reading the reviews decided to try them - plus they had great color selections. I bought red. When they arrived my teenage daughter tried them on and decided she needed a pair for the Peru trip also. She picked purple. We both wore them straight out of the box for the trip - no breaking them in first. The whole trip was long days and lots of walking/hiking. The boots were very comfortable, never any trouble. I have a bad ankle (arthritis following a break) so I needed the ankle support from the high top.These offered that as well. I did not test mine for the water proof worthiness, but my daughter did and she said her feet stayed dry. All in all, very satisfied with purchase. Would definitely recommend.

These boots are so light and comfortable for long walks that I didn't even need to break them in. I've tried lots of different brands and Ahnu is the best for my narrow foot. I did need to return my first pair for a 1/2 size larger, which hasn't been true of other Ahnu shoes. Otherwise, no complaints, great footwear all around!

Wow! Love these boots. Took them without any break-in time to Scotland for some pretty difficult hikes. I was worried, but they performed beautifully. No blisters, excellent traction, and they are adorable. Will be buying more Ahnu in the future!

My daughter and I are gearing up for hiking. For her, I purchased her preferred (brown) and the grey/blue were for me. Talk about comfort! Talk about quality! We're already stoked for our tropical hiking trip next week, and thanks to the boots, we're also getting ahead of ourselves and making plans to sport these for more fashion wear during the winter!

I loved these shoes all winter. They not only carried me through NY slush and snow for my commute, but they also were comfortable enough to wear all day without being too heavy, too hot, too clunky or too ugly. On the contrary, they were the perfect combination of form and function; warm, svelte, light, breathable, waterproof, rugged, and stylish. BRAVO!!

Great boots! Perfect fit and very comfortable. After a 10 mile hike in the Smoky Mountains, my feet still felt great - good support and cushion.

Best shoes my feet have felt in many moons. I can wear them without socks (would need to order a half size up for sock-wearing). Great for trekking around or all day standing!

I love these boots! They are super comfortable on my soles, and took no break in time whatsoever. A little stiff up around the ankle, but that wore off after a couple of days and the correct socks. They are the perfect hiking boots. They are light, comfortable, waterproof, and cute! They are very true to size. I am a size 8 in all shoes and they fit like a dream!

These are super cute but run small and narrow across the toe. I ordered a half size up and it is still a bit tight but hoping it will break in.

Perfect fit, width, arch and ankle support. Perfect weight and waterproof! Beautiful boots. Bought these several years ago.

What a great-fitting boot! I usually wear size 9, but went up half a size for these based on the recommendation of other reviewers. I have narrow feet, but with the laces tightened, these feel perfect! Enough wiggle room for my toes, but snug all around. I would recommend wearing hiking socks with these if you need to add some extra width around the ankle to avoid blistering. Bonus: these are cute!! Can't wait to wear them hiking in WA this summer.
