Customer Reviews Teva Sugarpine II Air Mesh

At first I thought the heel was too loose so I initiated a return. I decided to keep them. The heel should improve as the soles get less stiff. Good looking shoe and comfortable.

I have been buying Ahnu for about 6 yrs; after a surgery that affected my feet I found out about this brand and have purchased many different kinds since then, other than Sugarpine and Montana. I hope that Teva retains the quality that Ahnu established and I understand they want to use their own name on its brand. To me, it is still Ahnu.

I’ve always purchased the waterproof sugarpines, so this is my first mesh. Also my first purchase post-Teva. The arch support didn’t feel as good as previous pairs, and the ankle seems to come up higher, so that it rubs my Achilles and my ankle bones. I’ve been wearing them for a few days and they seem to be breaking in pretty well. But definitely not as cushy as my earlier pairs. Still wonderfully lightweight and a good looking approach shoe.

This is my second pair of Sugarpines. I wore my previous pair out after walking over 10,000 steps a day in them for the past 9 months. I like the support and find they keep my feet dry and warm. The design of this second pair has moderately changed in that the color is uniformly grey. I am happy with the change. I understand that Ahnu is now partnered with Teva. Hopefully, the quality of the shoe will remain stable, as I have purchased Ahnu shoes for the past ten years & would like to continue to do so.

Teva Sugarpine is oh so close to original Ahnu versions, which were practically perfect. I like some stability stiffening in the sole, my toes to spread and flex with minimal toe/heel rise, so for hiking, backpacking and walking miles in a hospital at work, they fit the bill to a T. For me, I feel they are just a skosh shorter and have a little less arch support. I will continue to purchase, but miss the better arch support the most.

These shoes just did not feel comfortable. Not even sure why. And I did not like the color I selected even tho it was better then the other choices

I have to agree with everyone who has complained in a drop in quality and comfort in this Teva iteration. I'm keeping them because I'm lazy, but I'm disappointed and will probably shop around more when it's time to replace.

I ordered a size 6 which is my normal size. These seemed small for a six. I figured after walking in them for hours they would feel even smaller so I need to go up at least 1/2 size. Also, I don't like the way they hit the back of my heel. I am not sure if it's because they are too small or if that is just due to the design of the show but right now I cannot imagine wearing them without getting blisters on the backs of my feet.

My foot size is 5.5 Wide, so I usually purchase 6.5M shoes. Perhaps I should have gone up to a 7M. Once I put on the shoes, they dug into the backs of my ankles, not enough to cause blisters, but certainly uncomfortable. Then I noticed the inside seams that ran across and down the outer edges of the foot were irritating, even though I was wearing socks. I wore them for short periods of time, always bringing a back up pair to work in case they started causing pain. Eventually they've become more comfortable, but who wants to break in new shoes? I work on concrete floors, so I am quick to notice if there isn't enough support. However, the one thing they've managed to achieve is to keep my feet, back and neck from hurting after a long day at work. I am very grateful for that, but I will not buy another pair.

The low profile of this shoe is great, but there's very little support. Despite being advertised as waterproof, they are not. Splashed water on them and it went through to my sock.

Fit, size, and appearance were good...but every time I put them on my toes went numb. Tried putting extra padding in to no avail. Shoe is poorly made compared to previous models of the sugar pine. The original sugar pine had a thicker vibram sole that gave more support and cushioning. They looked good, but material and stitching were poor compared to original. Sent them back!

So disappointed I wasted $120 on these. One of my ankles is rubbed raw after wearing, even after months of breaking in. The support is not that great either - my waterproof sugarpines are much more comfortable. I plan on replacing with a different brand.

Downgraded my original review because I understood these to be waterproof, but they are not. I reread the description after another reviewer pointed out the shoe is not waterproof. The description says the sole & leather trim are waterproof. Not much help if you want to keep your feet dry in the rain. Decided to pour a little water on the top mesh. It beaded up and roll off......But then I felt water coming in where the mesh meets the rubber toe & leather trim! So, back they’ll go. Vacation disaster averted!
