Amazing

"I deal with terrible heal pain and struggle to walk around all day. Not in these shoes. They feel so amazing. So much so, i went back and bought two more pairs. They literally feel like im getting a little foot massage when I walk. If you have planter’s fasciitis buy them. You will be thankful."

Bought for a trip to

"Bought for a trip to Japan . Wore them practically right out of the box for 20k steps per day . I did change shoes every other day but these probably would have worked every day . They are super comfortable and cute . I have a more sneaker model that I wear to work from Aetrex - they are fabulous for 16 hours on my feet in a trauma hospital . This pair has a little less arch support but were very very comfortable. I highly recommended this brand ."

Heavenly

"These are so cushiony and just heavenly, really. The Ultra Sky inner sole feels so great that now I’m looking for other Aetrex models with it. They’re wide enough across toe box to accommodate a bunion."

— Julia (5/5)

Fabulously comfortable! Great arch. Please

"Fabulously comfortable! Great arch. Please make in Navy blue."

Greatest most comfortable shoe ever.

"Greatest most comfortable shoe ever. Please make in Navy blue."

Stylish and comfortable

"I have looked for something like this for years. It looks very high end and is great with dresses and pants. Very comfortable with the original insole or a custom orthotic. I found most of these type shoes they're only cushion is the insole not the outer soul. So if you remove the insole to add a custom orthotic there's no padding. Thank you so much Matrix and keep bringing the designs."
