Aetrex

Fit varies by style, but many have a roomy toe box and a contoured footbed. Your heel should sit snug, with about a thumb's width in front of your longest toe. Check the size notes on each product page. Comfort should come first every time.

It depends on the style. Some Aetrex shoes, like the Erica Mary Jane, have a removable footbed that makes room for your orthotics. Aetrex platform sandals and wedges aren't orthotic friendly, so we don't recommend them if you wear orthotics. Take your orthotics along when trying shoes on, and check that your heel stays snug and your toes still have space to move. Fit matters more than any label, so walk around first.

Many are. Look for a contoured footbed, a secure heel strap and a sole with grip, and break new sandals in with short walks first. Adjustable straps help you fine tune the fit. Take your time and choose the pair that feels best.

Wipe uppers with a damp cloth and mild soap, and let shoes dry naturally away from direct heat. Use a protector on leather and suede, and rotate pairs through the week. Comfort should always come first, so try a few pairs.
