The Ahnu Sandals' breathable upper keeps your feet cool, and the single-pull lacing system makes these sandals easy to adjust. A heel strap keeps your foot in place, and Ahnu's All Terrain Lugs outsole construction gives you crazy traction.

From REI:
"These ultralight sandals are engineered to perform in multiple outdoor environments. Wear them on your next amphibious or terrain-based adventure. QuiteLight® construction principles throughout the shoes center on superior comfort and materials with exceptional strength-to-weight ratios. Perforated NuFOAM stretch uppers with cross vents are highly breathable; nylon webbing and toe bumpers provide additional structure and protection. Lined, stretch thermoplastic urethane heel structures cradle heels for a secure fit; heel and toe loops aid entry. Single-pull QuickLight webbing lace system uses light but strong webbing to disperse load and alleviate pressure often found with conventional laces. Webbing laces secure with an Ahnumatic positive-lock cam buckle for unique single-handed adjustability. Tech-Dry linings are made of a recycled polyester and charred bamboo blend to offer natural antimicrobial and moisture-wicking properties. Lightweight, compression-molded EVA midsoles provide shock absorption and cushioning comfort. Outsole-integrated thermoplastic urethane shanks and arch supports offer midfoot stability and torsional rigidity. Nonmarking rubber outsoles with cross-directional lug pattern offer optimal traction in the forefeet and braking in the rear. Self-cleaning 2.5mm outsole lugs provide a balanced ratio of surface contact to tread depth for both bite and nonslip traction."

From EMS:
"Almost as much a shoe as it is a sandal, the extremely light (just one pound per pair of size 7's), the Ahnu Tilden is suitable for a variety of outdoor activities on trails, in water or on the sidewalk. Closed-toe construction with toe bumper protects the front of your feet from bumps and abrasions. Cross-venting, highly breathable NuFOAM stretch upper. Single pull QuiteLight Webbing Lace System with articulating instep fit and Ahnumatic Positive-Lock Cam Buckle. Tech-Dry charred bamboo lining with natural anti-microbial and wicking properties. Lined, stretch TPU heel structure. Lightweight, compression-molded EVA midsole for excellent shock absorption and comfort. Integrated TPU shank and arch support generates midfoot stability and creates an even ride. 2.5mm self-cleaning lugs provide balanced surface contact to tread depth ratio."

"These shoes are great for someone who loves to walk around a lot and also play soccer. The thing I found with Keen's sandals is that kicking a soccer ball is very difficult with the large rounded front."

"I absolutely love my new Ahnu shoes and love the story behind the brand and the team as well. Everyone should do their part to support the new company on the block and Jim Van Dine for going it on his own."

"Really poor excuse for a sandal. I have about 6 pairs of Keens and 2 pairs of Mions so I'm pretty picky about my footwear, but these were a real disappointment! The quality was suspect as a lot of stitching came undone. The lacing system does not hold so well, especially when wet."
