        Comments about Ahnu Elkridge eVent Cross-Training Shoes - Men's:

        This is a great shoe! It looks great. It's comfortable and can double as a casual shoe. It is not a cross-trainer! No way would it work in that role. It's a great shoe for doing just about anything but running. I love it for what I intend to use this shoe for--all but running :-) For that use another shoe.

          Comments about Ahnu Elkridge eVent Cross-Training Shoes - Men's:

          I absolutely love this shoe! I was a bit concerned with the sole not being Vibram which I ALWAYS buy, but its worked out nicely and appears to provide great grip on wet surfaces. I do run a lot and I would not run with this shoe--not what I would call a "Cross-Trainer"--not a chance in that. This is a very good and quite comfortable hiker/walker/casual shoe.

            I take extensive walks over 10 miles. I have had theses shoes for one month and the comfort and support are outstanding, no blisters or sores of any kind. These shoes are so good I just bought another pair yesterday so that I do not have to hunt for another pair when they wear out. It thas taken me more then 5 years to find a shoe that does not cause blisters or sores after 10 miles.

              Used for trails in Swiss Alps, mainly paved, as well as museums, walking tours, and ambling through cities and towns in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. Great support, great traction, and feel really solid. Feet got warm, but to be expected since termperatures were about 65 or higher nearly everywhere. Really pleased with the performance so far - only had them for a month.

                These shoes carried me all the way to the top of MT Kilimanjaro. I was crazy about finding my correct shoe. I didnt want the normal high top shoe because they feel heavy and make me tired. And I needed a comfortable shoe to carry me on the 9 day hike with no problems. These worked out perfect. I wore two thick wool socks to summit and my feet were perfectly toasty. In fact, I'm walking around in them now because I love them. Best buy ever.

                  These are my new Fall/Winter/Spring go to shoes-everyday, work and play. I discovered Ahnu using REI's online catalog. They look good and the specs put them on top. I visited the local store and they felt amazing. Light, supportive, correct volume, correct toe box, correct heel and arch. My feet are a bit weird too. Light, dry, breathable, warm (but not too much). Love them and I tried 5 other big name brands. If they had more cushion in the heel/sole, and the laces held better at one pull, they'd be absolutely perfect.

                    Comments about Ahnu Elkridge eVent Cross-Training Shoes - Men's:

                    I purchased these Thanksgiving weekend after looking for a pair of comfortable, breathable, waterresistant shoes for my everyday use. Living in Northern Wisconsin in the winter is hard on everyday shoes and these worked better than any I've found. I walk about five to eight miles every day in snow, rain, and sun. I walk everything from sidewalks and beaches to backwoods and rocky trails and they have held up wonderfully. I have really been happy with how well they allow my sweaty feet to keep dry and not freeze this past winter. This has been their best pro. I'm planning on getting a second pair soon.

                        I spent a lot of time searching for quality and comfort. This shoe is very comfortable. Two weeks out of the store, one of the lacing eyelets tore out. I liked the shoe so much I ordered a replacement pair hoping the first experience was a fluke.
