Ready to add some height to your summer outfits without sacrificing comfort? It's totally possible. Just look at how Chrissy of Granola & Grace rocks her wedges! The secret is the Lexa Wedge style. These wedges are so comfortable, you might forget you're even wearing them. Thanks to built-in arch support and fully adjustable straps, you get a perfect, supportive fit every time. The Lexa adds that trendy touch you're looking for with the serious underfoot support you need. See what Chrissy had to say about her pair below!
What I Wore: Comfort Wedges Styled Two Ways
Do you like shoes with height or do you stick to flats? If you stick to flats, is it style preference or because shoes with a heel are no longer comfortable? Well, each time I get a compliment on these Lexa Wedges by Aetrex Shoes, I want to share how comfortable they are and why that is! I've styled these coral cuties with jeans, slacks, and dresses. And there wasn't a time I didn't receive a compliment from someone! Today I'm sharing two looks I paired these shoes with, so even if you're all about flats, maybe you'll be inspired on ways to style the color coral.
Details On The Shoes
First of all, these are not the first pair of shoes I've reviewed by Aetrex. You can find my recent post on the Jillian Sport Sandal here. As for the wedges, I'm equally impressed with them as I am with the previous pair. Now let's chat about today's shoes, starting with the straps across the top of the foot, and around the ankle. They're fully adjustable, giving these a more customizable fit.
The footbed is soft and cushioned with memory foam. From there I'd have to mention the arch support to help relieve common foot pain (even plantar fasciitis). Put all these bonuses together and you have one comfy shoe.
So I'll share the comfort features for those that need orthotic grade shoes, but with style this cute, we can also let that be our little secret.
Key Features and Materials
The Lexa Wedge is designed with both style and comfort at its core. What makes this shoe so special is the thoughtful combination of premium materials and supportive technology. These wedges feature incredibly soft memory foam cushioning that makes you feel like you’re walking on a cloud, even with the 2.25” heel. The straps across the top of the foot and around the ankle are fully adjustable with hook and loop closures, which is a game-changer for getting a secure, customized fit. This is especially helpful if your feet tend to swell throughout the day. It’s the perfect shoe for when you want a little height without sacrificing the all-day comfort your feet need.
Construction and Design
Aetrex doesn't compromise on quality, and the Lexa Wedge is a perfect example. The upper part of the shoe is crafted from genuine leather, giving it a sophisticated look that’s also durable and soft against your skin. The lightweight cork midsole adds to the classic wedge aesthetic while keeping the shoe from feeling heavy or clunky. Underneath, the bottom sole is made of a light but strong rubber that provides great traction and stability. This thoughtful construction means you get a stylish wedge that’s built to last and support you through countless brunches, meetings, and evenings out.
How Aetrex Helps Provide Support
The real magic of the Lexa is the support built right into the shoe. Every pair features the signature Aetrex Cobra Orthotic System, which includes arch support strategically placed to help with natural foot alignment and relieve common foot pain. This system is a huge benefit for anyone dealing with conditions like plantar fasciitis or general arch pain. The combination of arch support and memory foam cushioning helps to redistribute pressure evenly across your foot, taking the strain off your heel and ball-of-foot. With the Lexa, you don’t have to choose between a fashionable wedge and a supportive shoe—you get both.
Sizing, Purchasing, and Care
Finding the right shoe is about more than just style; it’s about getting the perfect fit and knowing you’re making a good investment. Aetrex makes the purchasing process straightforward, so you can feel confident in your choice. From figuring out your size to understanding the price, here’s everything you need to know before you buy your new favorite wedges. Taking a moment to get the details right ensures you’ll be able to enjoy the comfort and style of the Lexa from the moment you put them on. Proper care will also keep them looking great for seasons to come.
Finding Your Size and Color
Getting the right size is key to comfort. For the Lexa Wedge, Aetrex suggests that if you are between sizes, you should choose the next size up to ensure the best fit. The shoe is available in a variety of beautiful, versatile colors, including Black, Bronze, Ivory, and Walnut, making it easy to find a pair that matches your personal style. For the most accurate sizing, you can use an Aetrex foot scanner at a nearby retailer to understand your unique foot profile, including your arch height and pressure points, helping you make an informed decision.
Pricing and Policies
The Lexa Quarter Strap Wedge costs $139.95, a price that reflects its high-quality materials and built-in orthotic technology. When you purchase from Aetrex, you’re investing in long-term foot health and comfort. Aetrex stands behind its products, offering a 30-Day Wear Test, which allows you to try your shoes and return them for free if you aren’t completely satisfied. This policy lets you truly experience the benefits of the shoe in your daily life, ensuring it’s the right fit for you without any risk. It’s a commitment to customer satisfaction that makes buying a pair of Aetrex shoes a confident choice.
Look One: Camo & Leggings
I shopped my closet for the rest of this look. The legging pants are a blog and real-life repeat. From these pants, the camo was an easy match, followed by neutral accessories. As for the purse, I was elated to have a pair of matching shoes to style this with!
Look Two: Denim Always Wins
Denim is always a fabulous choice. My sister and I attended the downtown open market, so I thought it would be the perfect place to try out these shoes. Once again, I shopped my closet for this outfit with a hand-me-down tank and my favorite pair of jeans. Add a hat and it is off we go!
Style Takeaway
- Wedges can be comfortable for an entire day of wear.
- A fun pop of color with a neutral outfit takes the look to another level. This is especially fun if you have two coordinating accessories, such as the purse and shoe combo. You could also use jewelry to bring your new shoe color into play.
- A new pair of shoes opens up a host of possibilities in your closet.
