Cool styling, very light weight! Fit my foot perfectly but with only one set of hooking grommets I can't get the shoe to fit as snuggly as I'd like.

Based on reviews I was hoping for more arch support, it was moderate to say the least. Love the color, love the style but it won't help with my PF. Thank you for your awesome return policy Zappos.

These boots had great traction through the 3 winters I wore them (including a November vacation in Iceland) and the waterproofing worked. I liked the red color.
The cushioning completely broke down shortly into my ownership. They couldn't survive the 9 hour tramp through Bruges and Brussels and my feet were dry but broken. After that they were good only for the short parking lot treks in the winter.

I own multiple pairs of these shoes. I love the shoes even though I would have preferred more natural colors. Recently I keep returning these shoes because they are not waterproof. My old pair (purple) is still waterpfroof. The one I keep ordering is in mulch color. I want one in mulch that's waterproof. Zappos said they will look into it. I'll try again if I have reason to think that the quality control issue is resolved. I wanted to write this review to warn others. You don't want to risk your life on some cold and rainy mountaintop with these shoes. Test them under shower first.

I tried this boot in a 9, then a 9 1/2. Still had to return. Although I loved the style and color, it was just too low in the toe box for me. Thanks Zappos for the easy returns.

I want to LOVE these boots. They are supportive and waterproof and are a great cross between a hiking boot and a sneaker...more of a walking boot. BUT there are a couple of points where the stitching comes together on the tongue that feel like little rocks against my ankle when I lace up the boot. I'm ordering another pair and will update.

Super cute and fantastically lightweight but still sturdy. But very narrow. I will unfortunately have to return these.

I really love the way these hiking boots look and they are stylish without being bulky; however, these are not for anyone who has a wide foot. I am normally a size 7.5 in shoes and an 8 in hiking boots, but I had to get an 8.5 in these just to make them feel like they fit. They felt comfortable when walking around the house and even on shorter hikes, but I just did a 12 mile mountain hike this weekend and my heels were aching and my pinky toes were crushed. In fact, they were so painful on the downhill stretches of trail, that I'm worried I might end up losing a toenail. Again, I didn't have any of these issues on shorter hikes, so these might be great for that, but not for a longer mountain hike with wide feet. Zappos has the most amazing customer service ever and really helped me out with these!

I chose this particular boot because I needed a light weight waterproof hiking boot. The reviews were overall excellent. Here's my take: They run half a size small, but I read this in the reviews, so I ordered up. In a size 9 they don't look as pretty as in the photo. My feet get too warm for comfort. Still need to find out how they hold up in the rain.

I love these boots! They are very comfortable, solid, and lightweight. They are so easy to walk in I would rather wear them than anything else. As other people have said it is important to purchase a size larger. I have not had any problem with water getting in or cold feet, but I do live in Georgia (re: cold) Last week 3 different people asked about my boots and complimented me on them. I continue to refer them to Ahnu! I am now looking for a short pair to wear in the summer.

Warm. Comfy. Repels dirt and water well. Cute. The only reason these aren't perfect is the traction. These are more of a light hiker or athletic shoe. I never thought twice about running up and down a wet muddy hill before. Slippery slopes and these boots don't mix. Need to be better for real hiking.

I really wanted to love these but after wearing them around my house for part of the past three days I have to say they just are not comfortable. They are cute, however.

The boots were previously worn by the dirty bottoms. I contacted customer service via the email option and sent pictures but it seems like I need to go through my account or somewhere to have this documented so that I can return them after my planned hike on Saturday. I was trying to avoid any hassle by ordering through Zappos but it turns out this has become much more inconvenient than going to a store.

These felt very comfortable, but there is a spot on the tongue of the left shoe that pressed against my ankle and hurt when I walked. Wanted these to fit perfectly, but it just hurt too much, so I'm sending them back. I usually wear size 6.5 shoe. I ordered size 7 and it fit in length with Smart Wool hiking sock.

Very comfortable right out of the box; a little on the narrow side, but that worked for me. I was very excited to break them in, in anticipation of an upcoming hiking trip but I have to return them because they have absolutely no traction on wet surfaces. Quite treacherous.

I really wanted these boots to work out because I love the color (Deep Teal). Unfortunately they did not work for my large, flat feet. In most shoe brands I wear an 11, but for these I would need an 11.5 -- which they don't make. Also, and possibly even more importantly, they are not nearly supportive enough for a hiking boot. The sole is thin and way too flexible, not just at the forefoot but all the way back. It felt like a tennis shoe (that is, even thinner and bendier than a running shoe). I could tell my feet would be exhausted and aching by the end of a day just walking around town, let alone hiking.

The Color is shocking pink, a bit much for a utility show. The fit was OK but shoe upper material felt very stiff, had no give to it. I prefer a shoe with more flexibility.

I have a wide foot and usually have to go up a size to compensate. So I did again. I wear a ten until shoes started to become more narrow for women. The box is not as wide esp with boot socks. Went with ski socks that were thinner and it was better. Unfortunately with this boot I have a little too much room bc of the size 11 and my foot will slide forward and my toes will hate me while hiking down hill. They are a little darker than shown, pretty comfortable for walking which I did around the house. But that's not why I wanted them Great reviews shame they do not come in wide. I have to return them. Zappos is great though.

I really wanted these to be wonderful! I love the styling, the multiple color options, the significant tread, the low profile (not bulky at all), and the surprising lightness of the boot. I wear either an 8.5 or 9 (so I ordered both) and have a narrow, flat foot. I only tried on the 9s and they were immediately too tight across the top of the balls of my feet. I had corrective bunion surgery 8 years ago (i.e., I no longer have pain in that area) but do not like tight shoes (and you know your feet are going to swell as you hike!) so I am reluctantly returning them and trying something else.

These run small. Order at least one size up to get over socks. Color of the teal was more green then in the picture online.

I had just come back from a vacation and had declared the Montero style the best hiking boot I ever wore. So I looked at the Ahnu page and thought I'd try these. The sizing is totally different. I don't think it's a bad boot. It's certainly cute, but whatever they did to this boot to change the size doesn't work for my feet. I wore them around my house for 6 hours thinking that my foot would find its good place in the boot. Sending them back and exchanging for a subtler colored Montero.

In terms of comfort and style, these are fantastic. They're lightweight and comfortable right out of the box, and even accommodated my orthotics. And they're adorable! However, I could only give them 3 stars overall because they are incredibly warm. That's fine for temps below 70, but just walking around the neighborhood here in Georgia in the summer is miserable. Just one mile and my feet are burning up.

My biggest disappointment is that they are not waterproof. I wore them in a rainstorm for less than a half hour yesterday, then I was in and out of the car a few times while it was raining. The shoes got wet inside and stayed nearly all day. I had not worn wool socks, so my feet were freezing! Otherwise, these are quite comfortable for light hiking, so long as I do not lace all the way up. If I lace all the way up, they put too much pressure on my ankles. When I bought them, I wished they came in a neutral color, but teal was all that was available.

I find these difficult to get on and off. The opening isn't wide enough to easily put on and the tab in the back is too small and awkwardly placed to help in pulling the boots off. Once they're on they're very comfortable. But I don't recommend them nor would I buy them again.
