Aetrex Brings a Fresh Take on Classic Comfort for Spring/Summer 2027

New collection pairs fashion-forward details, tactile textures and fresh seasonal colors with the brand’s signature comfort and support

TEANECK, N.J. (July 28, 2026) — Aetrex, Inc. (“Aetrex”), a global market leader in foot scanning technology, data-driven orthotics and comfort footwear, is stepping into Spring/Summer 2027 with a fresh perspective on everyday style. Debuting at the Atlanta Shoe Market, August 15–17, the new collection reimagines classic casual silhouettes through a distinctly seasonal lens, bringing together tactile texture and eye-catching embellishments, versatile sandals, and a fresh color palette—all grounded in the premium comfort and support that define Aetrex footwear.

“For Spring '27, we looked at the playful, tactile moods of the moment and wanted every pair to feel like a discovery,” said Amy Egelja, VP of Footwear Design at Aetrex. “We translated that into styles our consumer can truly live in—from rhinestone and hardware details that catch the light to cork and raffia textures paired with rich leathers, all in a palette that moves from our signature neutrals into unexpected pops of red, navy, sun-washed pinks and soft sage. Our approach has always been to take the styles our consumer already trusts and elevate them with premium materials, unexpected details, and the fit and support that define us.”

Embellishments & Texture Add Interest

Leaning into the embellished footwear trend, Aetrex offers an expanded assortment of styles featuring sparkle, micro diamond crystals, floral accents and raffia textures.

Paying homage to the season's charm-inspired footwear aesthetic and the craftsmanship of embellished accessories, Amber is an adjustable casual sandal featuring mixed-metal embellishments on genuine leather midfoot and toe straps. Roxy brings a refined take on the fully adjustable quarter-strap sandal, pairing a genuine leather upper and lightweight rubber outsole with hammered gold hardware accents on each strap.

Texture plays a major role this season with raffia material incorporated onto key sandal favorites. Lola, a new platform sandal on the best-selling Vania construction, is wrapped in calming neutral-toned raffia materials, featuring adjustable quarter and vamp straps.

Sydney, a top-selling wedge for over 7 years, is refreshed with raffia straps in cognac and navy stripe patterns for a pop of interest.

Additional standout styles include:

●      Dakota: A platform wedge featuring jute detailing, adjustable quarter and vamp straps, metallic gold hardware embellishments and a distinctive zigzag decorative stitch.

●      Nina: A low-profile, fully-adjustable quarter strap sandal with a genuine leather upper, featuring micro studs and a lightweight rubber outsole

●      Women’s Wowie: An update to the best-selling Maui orthotic flip, featuring dual density UltraSky™ EVA for cushioning, a cobra heel for pressure relief and sparkly rhinestones

All-Day Sandals, Reimagined

As consumers continue to seek versatile footwear that can move effortlessly from morning to evening, Aetrex expands its casual sandal assortment with elevated constructions, premium leather uppers and multi-strap adjustability designed for a personalized fit.

Shelby introduces a new construction featuring a cork compression-molded EVA midsole, a microfiber wrapped footbed, and adjustable instep, forefoot, and back straps. Willow, built on the same construction, adds a genuine leather upper and a wrapped footbed in a coordinating color for a polished, monochromatic look.

A Fresh Palette for the Season

Across the collection, new and refreshed styles arrive in a range of seasonal colors designed to bring a fresh energy to everyday dressing.
