Customer Reviews Aetrex Essence Ada

These shoes are super comfortable and worth the money. The cross strap allows for a great fit-with or without socks. Style is very flattering. Thank you for great service.

Love the support of this shoe, Comfort too.

These are cute, stylish and well made. I'm barely a size 5 and the 35 was about 1 size too big

These are my new favorite shoes. Personally I find them to be very comfortable. My feet are on the narrow side; the velcro strap allows me to adjust the fit so they are just the way I like them. The toughest part for me was choosing the color.

These felt awesome on the inside, lined with something really soft. I really wished I could have kept them. Unfortunately, I could feel that the top was going to start rubbing on/cutting into the top of my foot as I walked. Maybe wouldn't be a problem with everyone, just the shape of my foot? But they're worth trying!

Oh so close!!! But not quite right so I'm returning them, which is unfortunate because I really like the look and style. I wore these in the house for about an hour, walking around a little bit but mostly sitting. Shoe on my smaller foot felt great! (Not so much on the larger foot with the bunion and a couple arthritic (bumpy) toes -- felt snug (I was wearing socks with them; maybe a thinner sock might have helped. A wider width, if available, might have helped too. The reason I bought these was for a trip involving traveling and walking, so I figured if it bothers while I'm sitting, a lot of walking ain't gonna make it better! As for the quality, I did notice a few spots where the leather looked as though something had rubbed a bit of the leather finish off, although it wasn't really glaring. I believe I was the first person to have tried these on because of the way the shoes were packaged, which led me to believe the rubbed off markings, however slight, had occurred at the factory.

Unfortunately if you have bunions this shoe rubs right on those. Nice shoe good quality but couldn't keep.

Due to my medium width foot and narrow width heel, I was looking for a flat with a strap. (Tired of my shoes slipping off as i walk.) Not a fan of Mary Jane-type shoes, but this one is very attractive. Unfortunately, the size 8 was too short and the 8.5 was way too large. Very disappointed to have to return them.

I was expecting more arch support but these are borderline I decided to keep them

These are great shoes if you have to be on your feet for a long time. They are super comfortable! I have an orthotic insert I wear and it fits perfectly inside.

I am on my feet all day, and have wide feet with high arches. Aetrex shoes are known for being roomy, so I thought I would give these a shot. They are a sleeker alternative to the clunky Mary Jane that some other companies offer. Unfortunately, they are closer to flats, so the arch support just wasn't there for me in this particular shoe.

Based on the reviews that indicated this shoe ran large, I ordered a 40 instead of a 41. It felt a full size too small. I love Aetrex sandals and this is very nice shoe, but the toe box is too shallow to accommodate my toes, so I won't order the larger size.

Nice detail,mix of casual and more formal. Velcro strap adjusts to narrow foot well.

Very cute shoes, but they pinched my toes and slipped in the heel.

Shoe fit, just wasn't comfortable on my foot. When I walked, I didn't like where the bend was on the top of my foot. Didn't feel good.

The shoe was beautiful but it doesn’t let your feet breathe. My feet were sweating so much in the spring and summer months or when indoors. That made them smell badly. If it wasn’t for that I would have given it a 4 stars. It also needs a better arch support like other asters shoes.

I was disappointed with this cute shoe. It's very rigid in the toe, so very uncomfortable on my crazy to fit feet. Sadly these will be returned.

The shoe is very comfortable and is wide enough to be comfortable around my bunions. Most shoes (even those indicated as wide) have a bed that is too narrow. For the price, they should last a lot longer than they do. They are priced in the same range as Dansko shoes, but last only a few months with regular use. Threads began to come out after about 6 months, and the soles are breaking down. For comfort, I would buy another pair, but I need them to last longer at this price point.

Comfy but clunky-looking for me on my already large feet.

Hesitantly, I followed the recommendation to order a full size smaller. I usually wear a Ladies 6 (med width), but ordered a 5M. The heel width was perfect, the overall width was too wide, and although the toe box was plenty wide enough, my toes were pushed uncomfortably against the toe-front. Perhaps I should have ordered my normal 6M, but the heel and overall width would have been much too wide. The style was point on and the arch support was nice, however I had to returned the shoe.

I would wear these more often if they were more comfortable. I work in an office and while I get up to move around I am not walking much at all and yet at the end of the day the bottoms of my feet feel like I have been on cement all day. I need a soft foot bed and arch support, these are lacking both. Not horrible but I would not order them again. I do wear them just limit it to 2 days per week.

These were so cute I wanted to love them. However, they were very long for a size 5 and rubbed my heel uncomfortably.

I wanted to love these shoes, but they we just uncomfortable.

I liked the look of this shoe on-line. It had no support on the sides and did not hold my foot in place. The smell was overebearing when I took it out of the box.
