Customer Reviews Aetrex Berries™ Helen

Very satisfied with the Mary Jane I purchased. I have bunions and hammer toes and it is hard to find shoes, especially dressy ones, to fit me. Happily these fit the bill.

I am very happy with these shoes. I have sensitive, arthritic, flat feet and a frozen big toe joint. These shoes give me support and are very cushy and allow lots of toe room. They are stain resistant, too! I can wear these to work with pants and skirts as well. I would definitely recommend these to problem feet people!

Love the way it hugs my foot. Even wore it in the rain with no problem. This is the first time I ordered Aetrex and a stretch shoe. I ordered size 6 1\/2 but next time I think a size 7 will be more comfortable. Zappos service is truly top notch!

I have ordered from Zappos many times, always receiving my order on the following day. And their consumer service has been a joy, too, when I've needed to exchange shoes. I am in my late 70's and have severe arthritis in the middle of my left foot, so I have great difficulty getting shoes that are comfortable, especially dress shoes. After trying many styles, I find the Aetrex Stretch Mary Janes are the most comfortable I own. They are light weight, have lots of toe width and space to fiddle with different kinds of inserts witch comfort my bones.

\r\n I love them! I had foot surgery in January,\r\n\r\n and these shoes are the only ones that I can\r\n\r\n wear for a long time during the day and walk\r\n\r\n fairly long distances with comfort. The have\r\n\r\n a very flexible feel, sturdy, and when my foot\r\n\r\n swells there is some give-side to side on the\r\n\r\n top.

The XW size feels true to width. As promised, the stretch in the upper half of the shoe accommodates bunions (mine are quite large). It is not the most supportive material and not the cutest shoe, but by far more attractive for business casual wear than your typical XW shoes. I'm keeping them for that purpose.Aesthetically, the strap could stand to be shorter, because if anyone's foot was large enough to actually need this much strap, there is no way she could cram her forefoot into the toe anyway. I have a very wide mid foot but still have a lot of strap sticking out when I put this on.

I have recently developed bunion problems on both sides of my feet and have had a terrible time finding shoes that I could wear. The Aetrex stretch Mary Janes have absolutely saved me and I have bought two pairs, one for rainy days and the other to keep in optimum condition. I highly recommend these shoes!

These shoes were immediately comfortable the moment I put them on, and their fabric's give means no blisters. The lengthy Mary Jane strap is completely adjustable, too, which is an area that I sometimes have trouble with, as the top of my foot is higher than average. I recently got custom orthotics, so I ordered a wide (D) and they fit nicely in the shoes. They're keepers.

I have the feet from hell. These shoes are so comfortable! I wore them around the house to make sure they didn't hurt. Then wore them to work- a 12 hour day. My feet did not hurt at all. I love these shoes!

Love these shoes! Very comfortable all day. And for as comfortable as they are, they're quite cute. Lightweight, too. Wish there were more colors.

I love these shoes - Cute, great, wonderful shoe! The strap stays put and never comes loose, very durable shoe. I love them. I’ve tried several other shoes, but these are the best. So comfortable that when I get home from work I don't even want to take them off!

Comfortable shoe - I am a difficult fit -- in between 11 & 12 with a wide forefoot and a narrow heel, & have a hammertoe on the bigger foot. In Aetrex dress shoes, the 12 is too big, and in their athletic shoes, the 12 is usually a tad short. The Essence Stretch Mary Jane fits great in an 11. It is fairly good-looking and extremely comfortable. The only thing I'd like to change is I wish there were just a little more padding on the sole -- I wear it at least 4 times a week to work. Would be nice in more colors.

Aetrex Essence Stretch Mary Jane - I highly recommend this shoe to anyone who has thick toes and need's a deeper toe box. Or to anyone who has bunions. And my thanks to Zappos for carrying this brand of shoe!

Post-op Surgery from New York - I am 2 months post-op from bunion surgery, and after graduating from tennis shoes, wanted something a little nicer, but still accommodated swollen feet. I normally wear 8.5 wide, but were too big so I went down to 8 wide and they fit perfect. These shoes do stretch as your foot warms up the material, and feels a little bigger. For me, these are merely a stepping stone to regular shoes. I hope to buy something in leather with a bit more overall foot support as I heal. These were a lifesaver and look quite nice even with skirts, although somewhat orthopedic. I highly recommend these especially if you have foot problems. There is no cutting or binding over my surgery scar on my foot.
