Customer Reviews Aetrex Fiji Sparkle

I expected this to be similar to the Aetrex Maui, but the two styles are VERY different in fit and composition. The Maui has a high arch support and is very cushion-y. This one (Fiji) has very little arch support and the rubber is hard. It offers a TINY bit more support than a generic flip-flop, but it wasn’t what I was expecting from Aetrex. That said, if you need a wider shoe (I do not), this may be a better option because the Maui runs quite narrow (which was better for me). I think both Aetrex styles run a bit short because the toe post is rather thick and it’s positioned a little further from the end of the shoe, which pushes your foot further towards the back of the shoe than most flip-flops I’ve owned. For example, I wear a size 7 in Vionic flop-flops (I have at least a dozen), but I needed a size 9 in Aetrix so I wasn’t stepping on the back edge of the heel. You can see in the photo that I've compared two Aetrex styles and sizes with other shoes I wear all the time. All that said, the white Fiji with the iridescent rhinestones is much cuter than most rubber sandals, so I'm sad the fit and materials didn't work for me. I liked the look for something to wear to the beach or pool. I ended up returning it because I need more arch support and cushioning.

Love the Aetrex sparkle sandals. The white ones sparkle more than the black ones it seems, but the comfort level and fit is great on both colors. I wear a 10M. Arch support is great.

Aertex flip flops are great! Love the sparkle these add to a regular flip flop. Have them in white and ordered a black pair. Seems like the white ones show the sparkle a bit more than the black, so deciding whether to keep the black ones but love my white ones!

I wear a 9 or 9 1/2 US. So I bought the size 9. It fits well but with no leeway. I was afraid a 10 would be too large. The arch support is great! The sole is cushy but with good support. I am very happy with my purchase.

The fit was great, the style is cute but the sparkles began to peel off quickly. I will get another pair to save and wear for casual work wear and summer dresses but not for every day wear.

A bit too squishy. Felt like I might twist my ankle. Returning.

Piece between the toes was too stiff and uncomfortable. I LOVE Aetrex shoes but this pair did not work for me sadly.

Fell apart quickly but they are cute and comfortable. For $70 they should have lasted more than six months. I was only offered a $10 coupon for the defect.

These flip flops are just ok. I love Aetrex sneakers and wedge sandals. Owen several pairs. They are extremely comfortable. These flip flops are flimsy and no way are they worth the hefty price. No true support and sole is too thin at the front especially. Sending back. Seventy dollars is outrageous.

Felt great but I didn't care for the overly bright pink "sparkles" on top. They look really cheap to me. But, the comfort was great. Kept the black ones!

Stretched out in one week of wearing them only in my home.
