"No doubt the product is comfortable but the jute heel falls apart. I’ve had it repaired twice but it’s embarrassing to walk into a meeting a have a jute band fall behind you."
"THE most comfortable shoes. I can wear them all day no problem. The arch support is perfect. I’ve finally found a brand that is good for my high arches. The 2 Velcro straps are a game changer. You can adjust to the width of your foot- just so simple but honestly makes such a difference"
"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)"
"My sister in law introduced me to these because I needed mole skin on the back strap of a wedge sandal to keep it from slipping. Aetrex have Velcro at the ball of your foot across your toes and around your ankle. That makes the fit absolutely perfect plus they are extremely comfortable and support your arch. Love love these!"
"I have been a loyal customer of this brand because of the comfort promised. However, twice in my recent purchases I’ve had a similar issue. The jute on the heel starts unwrapping and in the most recent purchase the heel separated from the sole. Stronger glue would help deal with all weather conditions."
"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 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 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 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."
"I can’t wear these enough. I have walked hours in a day, and taken many, many steps in these. They are amazing. I have 4 pair and bought a back up of the leopard. Greatest shoe ever!"
