Como Heeled Sandal Review — Worth it?
If your summer closet needs one go-to sandal that dresses up jeans or a sundress without sacrificing comfort, the Aerosoles Como heeled sandal promises to fill that spot. It’s a low-heel, slip-on style with a raffia upper that aims to combine a timeless, natural look with the brand’s comfort tech (Ortholite® foam insole and Diamond Flex outsole). Below I break down how it performs in real life, who it’s best for, and whether it’s worth the $79 price tag.
Quick verdict
Clean, versatile summer style with genuine everyday comfort. Great for casual-dress occasions and travel, but treat the raffia upper with care and expect limited weather resistance.

Real-world experience — Pros & Cons
- Comfort (Pro): The Ortholite foam gives immediate, plush cushioning underfoot. For everyday walking and standing at events, the footbed feels supportive without being stiff.
- Stability (Pro): The 1.8″ low heel offers a lifted look with relatively stable stride compared to higher block heels—good for city walking and casual dress-ups.
- Flexibility & Traction (Pro): The Diamond Flex outsole bends where your foot bends and provides decent grip on sidewalks and indoor surfaces.
- Style (Pro): Raffia upper has a timeless, neutral summer vibe that pairs with shorts, linen pants, or a maxi dress. The open toe keeps things breezy.
- Fit options (Pro): Availability in medium and wide widths is a big plus for people with broader feet.
- Durability (Con): Raffia looks great but can fray or discolor if exposed to rough handling or wet conditions. Not ideal for rainy days or beach saltwater.
- Support limits (Con): While comfy, this isn’t an orthotic sandal—those needing aggressive arch correction may want something more structured.
- Break-in & edge feel (Con): Some wearers may notice a short break-in at the toe area where the raffia sits; initial rubbing is uncommon but possible until the material softens slightly.
How they feel in daily use
Slip them on and the first impression is of lightness and ease. The Ortholite insole absorbs shock and keeps your feet feeling fresh across several hours. The low heel adds posture lift without forcing your foot forward; you get better dressing-up potential than a flat slide, but without the fatigue of a taller heel. Because of the raffia upper, breathability is excellent—your feet stay cooler than closed leather sandals. Just be mindful on uneven terrain: the thinner profile and lack of platform mean you’ll feel the ground a bit more than a chunkier sandal.
“A go-to summer slide — lightweight, cushioned, and easy to style. Great for errands, travel, and casual evenings out.”
Quick comparison
- Vs. Sam Edelman (style-forward slides): Sam Edelman often leads on fashion-forward details and trendy silhouettes. Como edges ahead on comfort tech (Ortholite foam + Diamond Flex). If you prioritize cushioning for all-day wear, Como is the better everyday option.
- Vs. Naturalizer (comfort-focused sandals): Naturalizer models may match or exceed comfort in specific padded designs and often lean neutral in style. Como competes strongly on a combination of style and lightweight feel—with raffia giving a more summery look than many Naturalizer leathers.
Who this is best for
- Anyone who wants a low-heel that looks dressed-up but stays comfortable all day.
- Travelers and vacationers who need a versatile sandal that pairs with many outfits.
- People who prefer breathable, natural-textured uppers for summer styling.
- Shoppers who need medium or wide options for a better fit.
Final verdict — Worth it?
Yes, the Como heeled sandal is worth considering if you want a summer-ready, versatile shoe that balances style and everyday comfort. For $79, you get targeted comfort features (Ortholite foam), flexible traction, and a fashionable raffia look. Watch the raffia in wet conditions and consider arch needs if you require heavy support. Overall rating: 4 out of 5 for style-conscious comfort.
