Reviews

Design Flaw - Heel Hangs Off Back

"The thong is in the wrong position, it sits too far back on the shoe forcing your heel to hang off the back while there is too much space above toes. I had to pay to return too. I was looking at the Donna thong as a replacement as I need the arch support but read a very similar review so I will not waste my time which is too bad because they looked cute but if it’s not functional it’s useless."

Cindy (1/5)

So Happy

"I would recommend these sandals to everyone looking for a comfortable, yet supportive sandal. I have several pairs of their sandals in different styles, and they never disappoint for comfort & style. I can wear them all day and everyday, and my feet feel amazing in them. You have to try a pair. Aetrex is by far my favorite sandal."

Sharon H. (5/5)

I ordered five pairs of

"I ordered five pairs of aetrex sandals, all the same size, and this was the only one that was too wide for my narrow feet. It could be I just need to have the adjustable straps sandals."

Lisa L. (2/5)

Straps are too wide

"I was so excited to get these sandals. I tried them on and they fit me wide . I have a narrow foot :( :("

Hilda (1/5)

One of the leather straps

"One of the leather straps gave me a blister on the top of my foot"

Petra S. (4/5)

Great sandal

"Great sandal"

Marianna F. (5/5)

Strap fits loose around the foot

"I like the appearance of these sandals, since you can dress them up or down. The support is excellent, but the fit of the strap is a bit large and loose. The overall comfort and fit is average."

Sabrina (3/5)

Slightly too large but I

"Slightly too large but I wore them so oh well! The straps don’t fit snug enough to keep my toes from gripping the shoe. The footbed is too large so the arch is in the wrong place. These are sized maybe 1-1. 5 sizes too large."

Mindy C. (3/5)

These sandals were so wide

"These sandals were so wide and ill-fitting that I sent them back. It was impossible to walk in them without them flopping off my feet. Very disappointing. I would’ve liked to order different ones but they charge shipping on all returns."

Carol B. (1/5)

Not great

"Nice looking shoe and arch support good. However, the straps are very big and are loose on foot. Not a great walking shoe because of this"
