Customer Reviews Ahnu Maia Thong

I was a little skeptical about these at first - it seemed pricey for what basically amounts to a flip flop. However, I've had these for a week and they're my new go-to shoe for summer. Ahnu shoes are always comfortable, and these are no exception. I got the Redstone color and I love it. It's like a neutral orangey rust color. It looks great with denim shorts and a tee shirt. Love them!

This is my first time trying Ahnu brand. I take a size 6.5 or 7 in almost all shoes. This size 7 was quite short on my foot, where my heal almost was off the back of the shoe. If I ordered a 7.5, I'm afraid they would be too long in the toe area. Sorry to have to return these, as they are quite cute.

Great sandals - Order 1 size larger! I ordered an 8 and not only were they too small, but one of the straps was not separated the same width at the others, which made it look weird. So, I ordered a 9, but they sent me a 9 in UK size, which is an 11 in US size! Third time was a charm. The nine fits great. They are super comfortable, especially with the cork sole (which has good support). They aren't too tight, which is good for one your feet swell with summer heat. I love these sandals because they are just as comfortable as flip flops, but they look nicer and more stylish. Definitely order in a bigger size! I read the reviews, but decided to go with my regular size 8 because sometimes in sandals/flip flops, I can get away with a 7.5, but my heel was just over the edge and my husband noticed right away. They are a bit pricey, but I had a coupon...totally worth it!

I was looking for a replacement for an old pair of leather sandals with a very smooth and very comfortable foot bed. These have that smooth feeling I was looking for! The cork feels great - not too soft and not too firm. I generally wear and size 8.5-9. Based on other reviews, I ordered a 9 and they fit very well. The thong is a bit rigid between my toes and has taken a couple of wears to get used to. Overall, I'm very pleased with these sandals.

I hope shoe companies express their gratitude to Zappos often. Zappos, you consistently provide the highest most dependable service. It was my third try on this style of shoe but Zappos customer service helped me find these and I love them. True to size, comfortable and no blisters or wearing-in needed. One of the few flat, cork bed shoes that does look feminine and can be dressed up.

Color is even better in person! A mix of deep burnt orange and clay red. Beautiful! The shoes fit my feet like gloves! Sandal gloves. Very comfortable. I wear an 8.5 normally and went with the 9. I debated sending them back for an 8 because these fit like I've worn them for a season already and I worry they'll be too loose if they stretch out. But they feel so good as they are, I'm going to keep the 9's. I have slightly wide-ish feet and these are perfect. (Some other Borns - I mean brands - are often too narrow for me.) But these are just right. If you have normal width feet you will love their fit.

I have wide feet and these sandals, although very comfortable and nice looking are on the border of being sloppy wide. I hesitated about sending them back, because they are so cute, I kept them and will be happy that I did. I wear a size 9.0 and after reading review, ordered 10.0 and I'm glad I did.

Beautifully crafted but run short as well as tight on the top of my arches so I have to return.

I love these sandals! The cork footbed is very comfortable, and the leather uppers are extremely comfortable. And they look great!

I LOVE these shoes. I'm traveling to Europe in a couple of weeks and needed a "go-to" pair of sandals. I've been wearing them around the house and while running errands (and even walking the dog) to make sure they're going to be comfortable enough to walk distances while on our trip. I am pleased to say that these shoes are perfect: great color; very comfortable (I have a high arch); and cute style. I've purchased Ahnu shoes before and have loved them; this pair is no different. I need to check what other colors they come in.

I usually wear a 7.5, and often in whole sizes go with a 7, but with these I had to go with an 8. Very comfortable and attractive looking on for a slip-on. I used to wear only Birkenstock sandals for years until a few years ago I developed some problem on the top of my left foot that only acted up when I wore slip-on sandals. It's kind of a pain to always have to wear some sandal with an ankle strap. I really missed just being able to slip-on and go. These seem to be fine so far (fingers crossed!). They aren't too loose nor too tight and the cork footbed has always been a favorite of mine. Really appreciate the little bit of rubber at the back heel for protection of the cork for driving, etc. I first tried the 7 in silver, too small and wasn't sure how I felt about the matte silver color. Then tried the 8 in brandy, a nice color but it almost looks bronze, have now ordered the silver in size 8 as I liked the silver better and feel it will go with my wardrobe more than the brandy.

The webbing is rather forward on the foot so if you want a shoe that has control from more of your entire foot, this one is not it. But platform is great, like walking on air. And VERY lightweight.

The webbing is rather forward on the foot so if you want a shoe that has control from more of your entire foot, this one is not it. But platform is great, like walking on air. And VERY lightweight. Wish there were half sizes though. 9 too small and 10 too loose.

Cute sandal. Moderate support. Feels to my foot that it runs a little small, narrow. (Have heard that Teva purchased the Ahnu shoe company, so not sure if we'll be seeing Ahnu sandals on the market anymore.) The shoe just didn't fit as I had hoped, so will be returning them. Nice leather, construction, color.

I have another pair of Ahnu sandals so was excited when I saw these. Due to flexibility issues all of the styles with ankle buckles/zippers, etc are out, it is slip-ons only. I was planning to wear these to work this summer, and di so when they arrived. super cute & very comfortable...and noisy as a cheap pair of plastic flip-flops. I'm kinda surprised no one else mentioned this. I'm keeping them anyone but back on the hunt for (quieter) work-place appropriate & comfortable sandals.

I really wanted to LOVE these shoes...I wear a solid 9 to 9W. My toes are short, so sometimes the part that goes between your toes is at the wrong spot....which these were. The bands of leather that crossed over were tight on my foot. I am sure with wear they would have stretched and relaxed but since the toe area didn't fit I decided not to keep them. Cute shoe if they fit you!!!

I bought these and compared with a Taos and a Merrell sandal. This came in first in style but third in comfort and perceived quality. Am returning.

Loved the style, weight, comfort and feel of these shoes. However, the size 9 was exactly the correct width (except for the right show which has obviously been tried on by a previous customer, stretched out, then returned - the box and contents were in disarray when I received them) and my toe was exactly on the edge of the shoe. I have an aversion to my toes or heels hanging off the edge of the shoe! I feel the next larger size - these are only available in whole sizes - would have been much to wide and too long, unfortunately I will be returning these fantastic shoes.

I really liked these shoes. The foot bed was very comfortable & the color was very nice. However I will be returning them because they seem to run about a .5 size too short & a .5 size too wide.

very stylish and comfortable. i felt that they did need a little break-in time. they almost have too much arch support. the size 8 felt just a little too small, so I did not try a 9. I wish they came in 1/2 sizes, I think an 8 1/2 would have fit perfectly. I normally wear an 8 to 8 1/2, and 9 is always too big for me.

Very comfortable. True to size. I just think they aren't special enough to justify the price. For some reason they look a little "cheap." I get a LOT of compliments on my Ahnu boots, but these are as forgettable as flip flops for triple the price.

Definately runs small & alittle narrow. Size up! Beautiful sandal, hope the next size fits!

I ordered these because I I have previously ordered some super awesome (comfortable right away, stylish, expensive looking) Ahnu boots. On the plus side these were definitely comfortable right out of the box, and I'll get lots of wear out of them. On the down side, they are pricey for what they are -- comfortable flip flops, and they look a little clunky and matronly. For some reason I can't put my finger on, they read inexpensive. No one would guess they were in excess of $60 dollars. Maybe if the sole were more substantial instead of a thin rubber base? I'm not a shoe designer so I can't say. I will wear them, but for the price I would not repurchase.

It's a very comfortable sandal. The cork soul is nice. The straps on top fit snuggly as they should! And it has a nice arch. I have problems with my feet and these work very well for me. I wear a 9M and these fit but would be better if they were about 1/4" longer. My heel sits on the very edge but it still works just fine! I think going up a size would be too big.

I've only worn these one day, but found them to be very comfortable so far. I am usually an 8 but ordered these in a 9 and they fit great. My only complaint would be the cork will show dark wear.
