"As you can see, these are hands-down my favorite shoes lol. I started having severe foot pain from a few different issues, including tailors bunion several years back. The podiatrist told me I could get surgery or wear orthotics & recommended this brand for me to try. I almost exclusively wear the Sydney’s as work shoes in warm weather now & I get compliments almost daily. I have wider feet and super high arches, typically a size 9, but sometimes 9. 5 and these fit perfectly. I have found that different styles in this brand fit differently, so definitely give it more than one try and use the measuring option that Aetrex puts for each style. The one complaint I have is not having accurate photos on the website. So, trying to help others out by posting some pics of the different colors. The new leopard print (there are 2, the one in the photo w the new denim is the current 2026 style) and red are two styles that clearly do not match. But obviously, I highly recommend these, so I hope this helps! (Ps the Maui & Vickie are my other favorites)"

I was skeptical that a
"I was skeptical that a high heel could be worn all day and not hurt your feet, but the 30 money back guarantee made me try it. After the first wear, I threw away the box because I was definitely keeping this shoe! I work on hard stone floors and am on my feet for 6 hours at a time. I finally don't feel like amputating my feet at the end of my shift. I'll definitely be buying more in the future."

I have tried every brand
"I have tried every brand of shoe for comfort & style. This is the only brand that truly works for me checking both of those boxes. I no longer sacrifice my feet health or comfort for cheap shoes or what looks cute only wanting to burn the shoes after wearing them for a couple hours. Obsessed with the Aetrex brand wedges/ please keep making cute & functional shoes for women!!"

I work at a shoe
"I work at a shoe store and got these after falling in love with them. These are the best! I am up and down stairs 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. My feet do NOT hurt at the end of the day. They are also incredibly stable. I have always been a fan of Aetrex and bring down their shoes for my customers to try year round."

My order took a little
"My order took a little bit longer to get than another company I order from but it wasn’t so long that I was worried. The tracking helped keep me from being anxious. The shoes feel amazing and I stand on my feet all day. I do feel they are true to size however some seem a little truer than others (I ordered six pairs). They are worth spending the extra money due to the comfort of wearing them all day."

Compliments!
"What can I say about the Sydney Quarter Strap? As a petite woman, the wedge gives me a little height without being uncomfortable or unstable. I can literally wear these all day long with zero discomfort. I love this style so much, I have 7 pairs! Contemplating on getting my eighth!"

Well worth the money!
"I have fussy feet and wearing any kind of heels usually makes my back hurt. I really wanted a pair of wedges for summer events, so I decided to try the Sydney Quarter Strap Espadrille and I was amazed at the level of comfort! My feet and my back felt great after wearing them for over 8 hours at an outside party. I am thrilled to have these cute shoes in my closet. They are not only comfortable but look great with summer dresses. Well worth the money!"

This is my fourth pair
"This is my fourth pair of Sydney Quarter strap espadrilles. Needless to say, I ABSOLUTELY ❤️!!! I am a flight attendant and usually fly European routes. They are great shoes to walk through the streets of Rome, Barcelona, Dublin, and Frankfurt. Those streets are a lot of cobblestones and these shoes have a lot of support. They go cute cute with summer dresses, as well as shorts and jeans. My closet has now received a 15th pair of Aetrex shoes. They are really the only shoe I can wear after metatarsal toe surgery. . I highly recommend these shoes!!"
