Ahnu Footwear

If I thought the Ahnu Terra Linda trail shoes were snazzy, I was even more impressed with the look of the Sequoia trail shoes (hereafter referred to as "Shoes" or "Sequoias")! But beauty is as beauty does and is only skin deep and all those other platitudes the good sisters tried to drill in me in grade school and the Sequoias are definitely more than just a pretty face!Starting with their low-cut profile, the Shoes follow the typical trail shoe design - lots of fabric for venting, traditional lacing, minimal toe rand and rubberized side bumpers and a flexible sole Charcoal gray synthetic mesh and Nubuck leather uppers combined with nylon mesh create a sporty but dressy, not blatantly outdoors-only look. Accents of light green and blue add a bit of color via side stripes which cross over and create the lace loops. The laces are smooth, round, black laces with a thread of light green running through them.
