Comments about Ahnu Elkridge Mid eVent Hiking Boots - Men's:
I wore them through the airport and on the plane. Easy on and off and comfortable with the laces undone. Great for hiking in cold and warm weather. Lightweight, waterproof, easy to clean, quick drying. I think they look good too.

Comments about Ahnu Elkridge Mid eVent Hiking Boots - Men's:
Have always worn Merrill low cuts but thought I would try an ankle height for a change. I wore them for a few days working [i'm a cabinet maker] to get a feel for them and they felt great. Just got back from 7 days on the AT and I have no complaints. I bought them 1 size large and I have plenty of foot room without sliding around inside them. They keep my feet from sweating and were really comfortable walking down hills. They fit well are light weight and the laces stat tied!

Comments about Ahnu Elkridge Mid eVent Hiking Boots - Men's:
I'm in food delivery,they are my light winter boots. They are very slippery on commercial kitchen floors,but are very light and comfortable out of the box. The break-in time was about a week(five days). Only 1 month old,too soon to tell wear yet. So far so good.

Comments about Ahnu Elkridge Mid eVent Hiking Boots - Men's:
Just got back from Half Dome, they got soaked at the Mist Trail and dried quickly with no soaked socks. My feet stayed cool, and didn't hurt one bit.
Amazing support, fit and comfort. Good traction up some steep stuff too.

Comments about Ahnu Elkridge Mid eVent Hiking Boots - Men's:
These boots fit great right out of the box. . . very comfortable and very good support. I'm gearing up for a climb to the top of Mt. Whitney and wanted a boot that was lightweight but very watertight and provided great long term support.
My only little disappointment was that one of the eyelets had a rivet fail my second time wearing them. REI provided great support and promptly switched them out for a new pair. That's the only reason for not giving a five star rating.
Very pleased with these boots.

Comments about Ahnu Elkridge Mid eVent Hiking Boots - Men's:
These Ahnu boots are the most comfortable, out-of-the-box shoe I have ever put on my feet. Honestly, the Ahnu boots feel almost as broken in as my 15 year old boots. I don't know how they do it, but it's great. I wore the boots for about three days prior to hiking in Yosemite. A huge snow storm rolled in and dropped five inches of snow overnight. I hiked all morning in snow and slush and probably three inches of standing water, and these boots and my feet stayed dry. The only negatives is the traction is not great (I wonder if the rubber is factory stiff) and the ankle support is mediocre. If you are just out for a day hike and you plan on crossing streams or hiking through the snow, these shoes are fantastic.

Comments about Ahnu Elkridge Mid eVent Hiking Boots - Men's:
Let me start by saying that I'm new to lightweight hiking boots. I usually wear a full grain leather boot that is much heavier and I was reluctant to give up what I felt to be superior ankle protection.
Man have I been proven wrong! These boots are awesome. I got these boots a few weeks before a big spring backpacking trip and put them through their paces before the trip. One day at work (in construction) and 4 hikes with a 30 plus pound pack for five miles each just to assure myself that I wouldn't be bothered by blisters or sore feet.
I found the break-in period to be non-existent. Out of the box these boots fit like a glove and I'm happy to say that after 20 miles in Joyce Kilmer (think rugged trails) I had nary a hot spot, much less a blister.
We had numerous stream crossings and these boots performed flawlessly. No leaks, no seam problems. And after several boots-off hip deep crossings, my water shoes were soaked, and these boots became my camp shoes...something I would never have done after a day hiking in my heavier boots.
I'm sold. The EVent breathes so much better than GoreTex, and the boots dried surprisingly quickly.
They are so comfortable that I wore them on the 5 plus hour drive back home.
Don't let the light weight fool you...these are serious boots!
I'd been hearing good things about Ahnu, and one of my friends wore some of their trail runners for all the stream fords. He just walked right across and kept on going. I'm going to be trying those next. I think I've found a new favorite brand of footwear!!!

Comments about Ahnu Elkridge Mid eVent Hiking Boots - Men's:
Very light, stays tied and comfortable. I have a left foot that has a bunion and a flat foot. After about 10 miles I am in real pain. I did 14 miles with these boots, and it was not too bad.Break em in and then go for it. Very pleased.

Comments about Ahnu Elkridge Mid eVent Hiking Boots - Men's:
Best Fitting Boot I've found. I enjoy wearing them. The inner lining is great! Snug but comfortable. The synthetic leather is protective but lightweight. Stitching looks like it will hold up. I'm looking forward to wearing them out. I think they will outlast me.
