"Not as comfortable as other Aetrex I've word that required no break-in time. I've gotten blisters the first couple of time I wore them."
"Wanted to love these, but sadly they gave me instant blisters. Wore than for under an hour just walking through a quick trip to the grocery store. They completely tore up the top of my foot."
"Not comfortable."
"My second pair. Ordered last year and love them. Wore all over Portugal, comfy walking up & down hills. Go with shorts, pants & dresses. My go to. Noticed stretching out a bit, so ordered another pair. . . just incase discontinue or change style."
"I bought these in Black, and they felt great when I tried them on at the store. When I actually wore them for a day, where the straps cross caused my top of foot to be raw and bloody. I put aloe Vera on the tops of my foot hoping to remove scar. Ugh! I couldn't return them at the store. I paid full price. I have bought at least 4 pairs from this company with no problems, but this pair was a no."
"I had one day of walking only ~6k steps in these and where the thin strap on the back meets the crisscross tore into the skin of both of feet. I have scabs on my feet now. Huge disappointment—won’t be reaching for these again"
"The footbed is soooo comfy however the place where the straps cross over on top of your foot rubbed both raw and painful!"
"I wanted to love these so much. I love the style. I kept them over the 30 days hoping to break them in but no luck so far. Like other reviews said they rub badly on the area where the straps cross, both on the top and bottom. It pinches the skin, and i have a scar from wearing them. The style is pretty but the leather isn’t soft or flat enough . Photo shows where it crosses and the chunk of skin on my left foot that gets rubbed raw."
"Would not recommend because the big black band caused skin irritation on the top of my foot. Had to use bandaid and place padding under the black band to prevent further irritation."
