I discovered these Aetrex wedges last spring and absolutely adore them! They are the only "heels" I can wear and it's great being a little taller. I wore the latte pair a lot and recently bought a replacement pair. I.noticed the new pair is a nice and cushiony so I must have worn the first pair down! All my shoes are Aetrex now.

These are the best shoes ever! I love them so much, I'll be getting one in each color!!! I even walk around the house in them! They have cork in the middle of the sole which is supposed to help with shock absorption. I love that they strap around the ankle because I have weak ankles that are prone to twist. The wedge helps to alleviate my plantar fascitis. I wear them so much that my family had to get used to it and stop asking "Where are you going" because they kept thinking I was leaving the house. Definitely recommend!!!

Very comfortable and true to size. Can walk all day in this and not get tired. Better than spending money on Mephisto. I regret buying Mephisto after wearing these.

The insole is nicely padded with arch support in the right place. These were very comfortable right out of the box.

These very comfortable and very stylish. They look and feel great! I give them a "10" around. 5 stars is not enough.

I have two pairs of these beautiful sandals- black and stone. Both of these colors are so versatile with my wardrobe. They are comfortable and attractive! I always receive compliments when I wear them. They are well-made and worth the money. I paid full price for these and don't regret it. Go figure!

I have plantar fasciitis and have a difficult time finding comfortable pretty shoes. This shoe is comfortable with good arch support and soft insole.I don't break in shoes they have to be comfortable out of the box. I have it in another color and wanted another pair. The Latte is a little too yellow because I was looking for a more neutral color so I am returning it.

My first pair of Aetrex. Put these on the minute they arrived, and my feet have never felt better in a pair of sandals. Love the fit, love the fantastic arch support and cushioning, love the two adjustable straps for my somewhat narrow foot. I may never take these off. I'm disappointed that "Vintage Red" is more of a "Dusty Raspberry," but I will make them work because my feet are so incredibly happy. My lower back sometimes gets sore from walking, but the pain went away as soon as I put these on. A different style of Aetrex with moderate arch support was not a good fit, but these have excellent arch support. Feel like I won the lottery! I've already ordered a second pair in black.

Absolutely the most comfortable wedge sandal I have ever worn. I am a difficult fit, having a very thin foot. This sandal adjusted perfectly. I normally never wear anything with a heel, but these sandals are so incredibly comfortable I find I can wear them all day.

Just pulled this Arielle sandal out of the box and it is butter! Super comfy, adjustable straps on both the toes and ankle, a little euro-chunky looking, but they are wonderfully comfy and funky enough! I'd say very true to size, fit very well.

I got these in 'Red'. They are so Artistically beautiful, different & comfy, to boot ! Put them on, and perfect fit right away. I wear 9.5N, so hard to get a good fit, but they aren't overly wide, and with the adjustable straps, was a perfect fit straight away! I love these sandals, and totally worth the price. Recommend them, for sure! Thanks, again to ZAPPOs, for all that you can offer!

These are the most comfortable sandal I have worn this year. I have Plantar Fasciitis in one foot and an injury in the other. I wore the sandals from. 8:00 AM until 11:00 PM with no discomfort. I wore them with dress slacks to work and out after work. I purchased this shoe with the hope I could wear it after my husband who has Neuropathy in one foot purchased a pair of this brand and wore them with such success. I will be looking for other styles his brand. Would love a brown in this style.

Just bought these sandals and was very surprised how comfortable they are. I have a very narrow foot and have had difficulty finding a sandal that doesn't fall off my foot. These are a definite keeper!

I LOVE this sandal! It has just enough height in the wedge, but not enough to make it uncomfortable. I have very narrow feet and high arches, and this shoe feels like it was made for my feet. The straps are Velcro and therefore adjustable, so I think it would be comfortable on other foot types too. I have bought other styles by aetrex in the past, and feel some of them look a bit mature for me, I'm only 29 (living in Los Angeles) and think these look very stylish!

Cute sandals. Well made. I wear a size 7 M and they are true to size. Sadly, I had to return them because the back strap on each shoe cut into my ankle bone on the outside. This was very unfortunate since the foot bed is very comfortable and the wedged heel height is just what I wanted.

I have three pairs of this style of shoe, and I love the deep heel cup and supportive arch, as well as the adjustable straps. The only complaint I have with them is that they have a wrapped heel, and it wears very quickly. I noticed the right heel wore right away, due to my driving with this shoe on. I wish Aetrex would do something about this problem, because otherwise, it's an excellent shoe! It's a bit pricey to look worn out so quickly! Comfort plus--made me feel like my plantar fasciitis was completely cured!

These sandals were very cute and stylish, but I felt they were quite narrow, so I had to let out the velcro on both straps. Even after I did that the strap closest to my toes was rubbing on them, so reluctantly I returned them.

I love these Arielle Sandals, and the arch has excellent support. I wear a narrow shoe, and with the adjustable straps, it is a great fit !
However, it is true, per the previous reviews, that after only a couple months wear, I noted that the heel portion on the sole of the foot, is wearing off already ! ! ! Seriously, it is a very soft rubber, and a good half of it is already GONE :( Sad, because I would love to order more colors, but wondering really, how long will they last. Don't think I've ever experienced this happening to any other shoes / sandals, because I do have a closet full of them, and none of them are worn on a daily basis. Please let the company know, so they improve the sole with a stronger / harder material, as I LOVE LOVE everything else about this cute and comfy sandal !

I was in heaven when I found this brand of sandal--my feet are literally impossible to satisfy, and additionally I have a very high arch and need a wedge heel this height for my back. I have every imaginable brand of "comfort" shoes, so that description didn't sway me. I first ordered the triple-banded laser cutout Lexi style of this brand in my normal size, 9 medium, and I couldn't believe it--the arch fit my high arch perfectly, the entire footbed was truly cushioned, and deep cushioned, the heel about the right height--it was heavenly! I decided to this Arielle style, as well, because it looked a bit more stylish. I wore them at home for a short time, and found the strap across the toes cut into my big toe. When I loosened the velcro on that strap, the underside of the now exposed velcro scraped. So, I was disappointed to have to return the 2 colors I ordered in this style. To me, the most comfortable of this brand was the style with the braid diagonally across the foot (Naya). I'm not a huge fan of that style, but I kept it for the comfort, as well as the taupe Lexi, for a softer "nude" look.

Everything was perfect with this cute sandal except for one big problem- the arch was in the wrong place for my foot, like waaay too far forward. Never had a problem with this before so I don't think it's my foot.

These are a great taupe color and so comfortable. However, because I have small ankles, the straps rub when I walk.

Leather is soft and comfortable (not so in "latte"). Foot-bed is well-cushioned and comfortable. For me, band across ball of foot would be much better if farther forward so more of toes were covered.

Beautiful cushioning but the arch support was oddly placed, not at the arch but closer to the heel. At least on my foot it felt odd.

This is a comfortable shoe but I am returning the pair because the Velcro closure at the ankle is too short. I don't like seeing the Velcro, which is sure to collect lint, beyond the closure tab.
