Review summary
Customers consistently highlight the comfort of the shoes, noting their softness, suitability for foot issues, and especially appreciating the spacious toe box and overall width. The high quality and durability of the shoes are often praised, with many reporting long-lasting wear and excellent materials. The vegan and eco-friendly nature of the shoes is also highly valued, as customers appreciate the use of sustainable, non-leather materials. Furthermore, the speed and reliability of delivery, as well as generally responsive and helpful customer service, are frequently mentioned as positive aspects. However, there are some areas for improvement, including sizing and fit issues such as the need to size up, lack of standardization across models, and fit variations between styles. Some customers find the fit either too narrow or too wide for their needs, and a few mention that the shoes could be improved for different foot volumes. Additionally, international customers express frustration over high import duties and shipping costs, and a minority have experienced impersonal or generic responses from customer service.

The shoes with mesh seem to be slightly igger than the others. I have now to mesh-pairs and both are seem to be a little bigger than other models.
Reply from ahinsashoes.com
Thank you very much for your feedback. We are sorry that the mesh models feel slightly bigger to you compared to our other shoes.
The fit can vary a little between models, especially when different materials and constructions are used. Mesh is generally softer and more flexible, so it may feel roomier on the foot than firmer materials. We appreciate you pointing this out and will gladly pass your experience on to our product team.
If you ever need help choosing the right size or model, our customer care team will be happy to advise you. :)

Great marketing that delivers plastic dissapointment
My expectations where high based on the language used and promises made in the website. It is a bad marketing strategy when you are not going to take the steps to deliver, it just made the disappointment greater. 1st you said "who knows better our shoes than us? ask us and we will help you!" I spent a considerable amount of time taking pictures of my foot, measuring it in all ways recommended, wrote an email explaining my needs, and the answer I received was not only useless but generic and impersonal with "commercial warmth", they didnt even addressed my biggest concern on having a high volume high instep foot. I replied back with my choices and they said basically "good luck". I took the risk anyway and of course the shoes were a huge disappointment. You make a shoe and market it as a high volumen shoe, and then you include a comfort sole but dont consider the volume of the sole in the total design of the shoe, so the sole transforms the shoe into a low volume shoe with no warning in the very verbose website. Of course the person that was supposed to review my email, pictures, measurements, etc didnt warn me at all! only said "take it out" which then leaves the shoe with absolutely no support, not even an advice to order also a normal sole to try the shoes that way. I sent an email expressing my disappointment and surprise at the poor design and the only answer I received was a very cheerful promise to return my money, except the 20€ I need to pay to return the shoes at my own expense. Overall, a huge costly waste of time and disappointment for plastic shoes.

Hello Alejandra,
thank you for sharing your experience openly. We are truly sorry to hear that the shoes did not work for you and that the whole process left you disappointed.
We did our best to recommend a suitable model based on the information you provided, including your foot measurements and higher instep, and we also mentioned that we would be happy to continue helping adjust the fit after trying the shoes. Unfortunately, comfort and fit can still be very individual, especially during the transition to barefoot footwear. At Ahinsa shoes, we work with high-quality vegan materials that are carefully selected for comfort, flexibility, durability and respect for both people and animals. They are not leather, and they may feel different from traditional shoe materials, but they are chosen intentionally and used in shoes that are designed and made with great attention to detail.
We completely understand your frustration after the model did not meet your expectations. As soon as your return reaches our warehouse, we will process the refund as quickly as possible.
Your satisfaction genuinely matters to us. If you liked the shoes overall and would still be open to giving Ahinsa another try, please feel free to contact us at info@ahinsashoes.com — we would be happy to help you choose either the barefoot version of the same model or a different one with free shipping, and help you find a fit that feels more comfortable for your feet.
Thank you as well for the feedback regarding the communication and product description — we will take it into consideration internally.
We genuinely wish you the best in finding shoes that work comfortably for your feet.

These are the most comfortable boots I've ever worn! I'm 71, have bunions, and love to hike. With these boots, my feet no longer hurt and stay surprisingly warm even in very cold weather because I can wriggle my toes. I'm vegan and have asthma, so I love that the materials used are human- and planet-friendly.

Can't imagine my life without these boots!
I love these boots. They are my second pair as I wear them almost every single day, all day. I have a home-based plant nursery and appreciate the great, comfortable, wide fit, so my feet can move how they're intended. It's also excellent that they're waterproof so that my feet don't get wet when watering.

We are very happy to hear your boots are supporting you every day in your nursery — keeping you comfortable, allowing natural movement, and staying waterproof when you need them most.
It means a lot that you came back for a second pair. Thank you and have a nice day :) Ahinsa Team

I love the size guides (have bought 3 pairs of shoes, a pair of boots and one pair of trousers so far and fits are perfect!)
Quality is top and delivery is quick.

Nice
I would continue to purchase your shoes however, I think being charged crazy amounts for custom duties etc from couriers is draining. Your shoes are worth it, I don’t mind paying you all the additional costs so unless you provide duties payed at checkout… I think I’ll just stick to UK barefoot footwear but thank you.

Dear Dina,
Thank you for your message. We’re so glad to hear you enjoy our shoes!
We completely understand how frustrating customs and duties can be. Unfortunately, UK import taxes and courier fees are set by the government and courier services, so we don’t have control over them :((( We truly appreciate your understanding and your support despite these extra costs.
Warm regards,

Comfortable and beautiful sandals my husband bought for me this time. But my feet slide forward slightly, probably because they are skinny and low in volume.

Hello Maria, thank you for your kind review 💛
We’re really happy to hear you find the sandals comfortable and beautiful! We also appreciate your note about the fit—this is very helpful. If you’d like, we’d be happy to suggest styles better suited for narrower feet.
Enjoy your sandals! 😊 Ahinsa Team

I did not accept delivery of the shoes because UPS required a $50 COD more than the stated shipping fee
Reply from ahinsashoes.com
Thank you for sharing your experience. We are very sorry that the additional charge requested upon delivery came as an unpleasant surprise and led you to refuse the shipment.
The shipping fee paid at checkout covers the transport cost, but additional import duties, taxes, or carrier handling fees may be charged by the destination country or the delivery carrier. These charges are unfortunately outside our control and are not set by Ahinsa shoes. We are sorry for the inconvenience and understand how frustrating this must have been, however, unfortunately we cannot influence the import duties in your country.
