"I love the look of these shoes and the arch support was awesome with my Aetrex insoles. But the toe box area is extremely narrow, which has caused some discomfort. Worse, after just a month of wear, my toe is wearing a hole in the top part of the shoe, near where the suede starts. This shoe is my normal size (and I wear a lot of Aetrex shoes); this is clearly just a small fit."
"Purchased my first pair of sneakers after falling in love with their sandals. I had to return the Molly’s because they ran small and were uncomfortable. I purchased these hoping that they would be just how they looked: fabulous and they’re absolutely not! I’ve tried them multiple times and finally have had to remove the insole for my left one. I’m going to try this and if it’s not working I’ll just have to donate them. 😣"
"I wish I've read all these reviews about narrow toe box. Can't return since I wore them outside and tried to give them a few chances. My big toes hurt every time. And my feet are not wide, I always wear medium size and I'm happy with other Aetrex shoes."
"I'm a big fan of the Aetrex Danika. At first I was comparing these shoes to those and I wasn't sure how comfortable they would be. They are somewhat more narrow, especially through the toe. However, by the second wear I decided I liked them very much. I'm a teacher and am finding that these feel great and also look good with a variety of outfits. I may order another pair."
"Well made and comfortable. Style of this particular shoes in average. Love this brand and bought 4 pair this season. This one is my least favorite style."
"I’ve been looking for a pair of taupe shoes for a while, and was finally able to catch these on sale. I loved the look when I opened the box, but once they were on my feet, it was a different story. The toe box is too pointy and they rub my pinkie toe on both feet. Unfortunately, I will have to send them back. I’ll keep looking for a taupe show and hope I find one."
"Great shoe, very comfortable; however, I did return them. My left foot seems to be stretching out a bit, perhaps a bunion is developing that caused some rubbing so my evaluation doesn't cover long term use. Shout out to Aetrex Customer Service, you speak with an actual person, they do a great job. ."
"The material/ fabric of the shoe is wrinkle and they do not give me the support I need in the back of the hill."
"These shoes are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned! They work well with my own AFO's as well as the inserts that come with them. The only complaint I have is that the heal part breaks down easily and does not withstand the repeated use of putting the shoe on and off throughout the day. I wish the heal was made of a stronger material."
"I loved my shoes the second I put them on. I can ware them all day and never get tired feet or soar arches anymore. They are the best shoe for my high instep ever ❣️"
