Customer Reviews Teva Montara III Event Boot

I have been a huge fan of Ahnu boots since buying my first pair around 5 years ago: no blisters, extremely lightweight and very durable. Completely changed my relationship with hiking. My first pair lasted nearly four years of decently frequent use and pretty heavy mileage at times. However, since Teva and Ahnu have partnered, the quality has declined immensely and I no longer recommend this product. My second pair (this pair) lasted barely 4 months of moderate use before holes, ripped seams, and leather damage occurred that were so extensive that my local shoe repairman said there was nothing he could do. While I still found them comfortable and lightweight, I simply can't afford to replace them every few months because the company is cutting corners on quality. I have since been buying used pairs of the original high-quality Ahnu version of this boot online and will continue to do so unless Teva ups the durability of this boot. Overall, very disappointed and frustrated with this new model. I think the previous version was one of the best outdoor products out there, my favorite pair of shoes, and I'm sad to see them go.

I have been a trusted Ahnu wearer and supporter since 2014. I have had three of the original pairs of the Montara. I bought one immediately when I saw that Teva had bought out Ahnu, fearing this would happen. I work outdoors and these get heavy use, I have also worked in NP's previously and hiked hundreds of miles in the old boots each year. These new boots are a tragedy. I used to never have to "break-in" my old boots. These new ones are still uncomfortable after months. The toe box is too narrow. I've never had that issue before. They also don't offer the same comfortable support that my old pairs did. I used to tell everyone about how amazing Ahnu's were. Truly disappointed. Bring back the old ahnu's. :(
