Ahnu Women`s W Montara III Event Hiking Boot

Sept 2018I’m usually a size 6.5-7, and I bought a size 7. So far I have tried them on with wool socks and walked around. It is perfectly snug, not too tight or big. The shoe cradles my feet and feels so comfortable. I don’t think it will take long to break these in. They also appear to give good ankle support. Might update review after my next backpacking trip in a few weeks. So far, so good.Update October 2019Have gone on some backpacking trips up to 20 miles as well as a 50 mile trek. The shoes have held up well without any shoe lace holes ripping. Was even able to put them in the washer on delicate and air dry without any damage. I have very tender and bony feet, and these shoes are very stiff and hurt my left heel after 12 miles. I usually prophylactically bandage my pressure points prior to a long hike. So far no blisters. Great ankle support. Still sticking to what I said about minimal time to break in. And the water proofing is legit. No issues stomping through shallow streams. The one thing I wish was better is the traction. I slipped a few times going 3000ft down muddy/rainy trail compared to my friends with La Sportiva, who had deeper tread and did not slip.

This is my THIRD pair of Ahnu Monteras in the last ~5 years. This is an outstanding boot overall. The quality is just perfection. I love the support they provide. Many shoes I wear are lacking in arch, heel, and/or ankle support. But in these, I can be in these on my feet hiking, walking, or standing all day without my feet aching.They don’t easily overheat or cause sweaty feet and I find them comfortable even in the heat of summer. They are nice enough to be worn in a casual office setting but durable enough to wear in field conditions that don't require a safety toe.I also think that the waterproofing is exceptional. I have worn a pair of Monteras in my flooded cellar when the Water was almost to the laces. After at least an hour the only moisture in my boot was caused by condensation due to the ice cold water and my warm feet!

You guys, these boots are AMAZING!!! I have put them through a LOT since I purchased them about 3-4 months ago. I work at a garden and I'm constantly on the move to maintain the property.I have used them in the rain, 90+ degree and high humidity weather, on inclines, in dirt and mulch, walking, squatting, even a bit of running and they have held up like champs.I have used them extensively, 5 days a week in very outdoorsy conditions. They are surprisingly breathable which was one of my priorities for a hiking boot because I hate when my feet get hot cause they sweat a lot and tend to make my shoes pretty gross, but with these shoes and my wool socks, I stay nice and dry. Even on days where it was 100°F my feet miraculously didn't get hot! I think that also has to do with my socks though cause if you wear the wrong socks, your feet will suffer no matter how good the shoe is, but still even on days where I have to wear crappy socks, these boots still keep my feet happy.The ankle support is also very good.The only negative thing is that because I tend to sweat a lot in my feet and ankles, the top of the shoe, which is turquoise on the inside, rubbed off on one of my pairs of socks because of the moisture. For me it wasn't a big deal at all but it might be for other people.But I literally can't say enough about how much I loved these!!! They are worth every penny for sure. Also, I am shocked that these boots have some bad reviews

I am extremely picky when it comes to boots. I was looking for something to wear while hiking in Iceland that wouldn’t be hot but would also be water proof. This boot checked those boxes. Plus, it’s cute, not huge, and was very comfortable. However, after the first wear, they tore on a very easy hike. I was so disappointed and had to return them.

Two things first of all: this is not a man’s boot, it is a woman’s boot, and I am a 65-year-old woman, quite active. I had purchased an earlier version of the Montera boot a year ago for hiking and they are my most comfortable footwear. When it came time to look for a boot for this winter, I realized that the only time I get to the end of the day with my feet in good shape is when I was wearing the Montera boots. I’ve bought good casual shoes and athletic shoes, and by the end of the day wearing them I’m always aware of discomfort in my feet and ankles. With my hiking boots I ordered a full-size up and wear them with a liner socks and a heavier smartwool sock and the fit is perfect. I also ordered these boots a full-size up, put a gel innersole in them and wear them with thinner socks. Both pair fit perfectly. They not only provide comfort, they provide exceptional stability on any terrain.I’m going to have a problem when summer comes again, because I've become accustomed to wearing these all day, every day, I won’t want to give them up, and they definitely will not look good with dressy shorts, capris, or skirts!

Really like this boot. Because I need it, I've added an arch support insert. Also ordered a half size larger because I don't like the discomfort of breaking in boots and because wearing wool socks I need the space so my feet don't feel cramped. Like the width of the toe bed as well. Because the boots are waterproof, which is a plus for crossing streams and in rain here, the boots tend to heat up. Good soles. I like the ankle support and generally the boot is light weight for its size. I still have all three pairs, using the oldest for garden work.

These boots are awesome! I'm so glad I ordered them. They are comfortable and functional. I ordered my regular size and they fit perfectly. I've worn these boots on hiking trails and on the lake shore and they keep my feet warm and dry. I can attest they are waterproof. I've never encountered any discomfort with these boots - no blisters or rubbing. If you're on the fence about getting them, get them.

Waterproof, light, fits well, but not for cold temperatures. Overall its great!

Fit is perfect and if you are someone who suffers from Plantar fasciitis these boots work for very comfortable walking. Second pair I have owned and they are the best boots I have ever worn...An active 63 year old who walks at least 6 kms 4 to 6 times a week.

7.5 muy confortables las uso para caminatas largas en campo

Great shoes. Fit well

These are great for hikes in wet areas when you want something light.
