Comments about Ahnu Benicia Shoes - Women's:

My only complaint about these is that they rubbed my Achilles the first three or four times I wore them. (I had to wear Band-Aids to prevent blisters.) Now that they're broken in though, I love them.
These look great with jeans, shorts and capris and, with the exception of the problem described above, are as comfy as slippers! I have them in Tapestry, and it's a really nice shade of teal. The photo is an accurate representation of the color.

    These little maryjanes work well for walking around town, afternoons at the playground and cute enough with skirts and dresses. Added bonus: roomy!

      Comments about Ahnu Benicia Shoes - Women's:

      I bought this shoe on sale at REI last year and I LOVE IT! I wear them to and from Yoga and Pilates and around town running errands. I must say that I have gotten several comments about how cute they are, where did I get them etc. They are great in the cooler weather as an alternative to flip flops and sandals. They do run about a half size too small I feel like, although I never did get around to returning them, and wear them all the time. If I were to purchase another pair, I would go up a half size. Great shoe, and not much else out there quite as cute for the function.

      Comments about Ahnu Benicia Shoes - Women's:

      I bought these shoes because I wanted something cute enough to wear out to dinner, but comfy enough to wear to a concert. They are good all around shoes. The "mushroom" color is neutral and matches a lot. My only complaint is that these shoes are hard to break in. They rubbed my heels badly the first several wears - make sure you have band-aids on hand! Now that I've broken them in, they are pretty comfy.

        super comfortable, no problems with the heal like other reviewers. i am on my feet all day and the first day I wore them for 8 hours without a problem! I would recommend ordering a half size larger, though.

          Really super cute and comfortable. Great for walking. Cute with jeans.

          They rub on the back of the foot for the first few wears but are super after they are broken in. I can't wait to wear them in Eurpoe.

            I walk to work and then I am on my feet all day- these shoes are perfect because they are cute enough to wear at work and cushioned enough to be comfortable throughout the day.

              Comments about Ahnu Benicia Shoes - Women's:

              I love these shoes. They were a complete impulse buy and one of the best impulse buys I have ever made. The shoes are very, very comfortable. So far I've just worn them during the warmer weather months with no socks. I'm not much of a sock person and I'm not sure I would wear them in the winter as it might be a little chilly. Still, definitely one of my favorite pairs of shoes, I need to get some other colors.

              Love this shoe BUT one of the buckles keeps coming loose, leaving me with one great fitting shoe and one loose fitting shoe. I called my local REI in Tempe, AZ, and was told to bring in the shoe for an exchange. I hope the next pair doesn't have that same problem because I LOVE THESE SHOES!!

              Comments about Ahnu Benicia Shoes - Women's:

              Overall the style is good and arch support is good, but the shoe insert that comes with the shoe has an odd lump in the heel area that makes you feel like you're stepping on a stone or lump. I fixed it by putting in a new insert but don't think I should have had to do that to make it feel comfortable. Also the strap slides open easily and I seem to constantly be adjusting the strap. Other than that, it's a very comfortable and easy-to-wear shoe.
