Since becoming a stay-at-home mom, I'm guilty of sacrificing style for comfort.  Chasing after my daughter and taking care of a never-ending to-do list usually means that I grab my favorite tennis shoes when heading out the door, instead of a cute pair of heels or sandals.

I desperately don't want to turn into a frumpy housewife, for I greatly enjoy keeping up with the latest clothing trends and styles.  So what's a girl to do when you're searching for fashionably comfortable footwear?  Head straight to Aetrex Worldwide!  I recently had the chance to update my spring wardrobe with a trendy pair of sandals from Aetrex's Essence Collection.  Keep reading to learn more!

Essence by Aetrex offers an uncompromised merger of fashion, comfort and customization. Created by renowned footwear designer Susan Ryder, Essence comes in various collections to allow you to look and feel your best for any occasion.  Essence by Aetrex are made from luxuriously soft full-grain leathers and moisture transferring polyester linings.  Most Essence styles also feature Aetrex's IQ150 memory foam footbeds and built-in Lynco support for an unmatched comfort experience.  Just don't forget to take them off after a long day on your feet!

Trying to select just one pair of sandals from Aetrex proved more difficult than I had originally thought, but in the end I chose the Tanya Adjustable T-Strap Heel from the Essence Collection.

I loved the desert sand color which compliments virtually everything in my closet.  I also enjoy wearing heels with my fun and flirty spring fashions.  Capris, skirts and shorts can all benefit from a cute pair of heels underneath, and the Tanya sandals embody that fun, yet sophisticated spirit.

Another major benefit of the Tanya Heel Sandal is the adjustable t-strap.  I have very narrow feet and finding a great fitting sandal is often quite difficult.  But with the adjustable t-strap coupled with the adjustable ankle strap, the Tanya can comfortably fit most any foot.  Which leads me to my last revelation regarding the Tanya sandal and all Aetrex shoes in general:  COMFORTABILITY!

I was simply blown away by just how comfortable these heeled sandals are!  Believe me when I tell you that wearing these fashionable sandals were JUST AS COMFORTABLE AS WEARING MY TENNIS SHOES!  I couldn't stop springing up and down on my toes and testing them out.  The footbeds were luxuriously plush and cushy and the soft leathers didn't rub or irritate my bare feet.

What's more, Aetrex even thought to include moisture-wicking polyester linings inside their sandals which control odor, staining and deterioration.  No more "swamp foot" in these sandals, even on the hottest days!  :whew:

I'm a bargain-shopper and penny-pincher by nature, but I wholeheartedly recommend the Aetrex Tanya Adjustable T-Strap Heel Sandal!  Even though they cost over $100, I have never found a more comfortable, stylish or versatile pair of sandals and so consider them well-worth the money.

With these Aetrex shoes, I can banish the frumpy housewife and look cute and fashionable, effortlessly.  No one will ever guess either that I could also run a 50-yard dash in these sandals!  :big grin:
