User Reviews
My normal size is 10. I bought this in a 10 Wide and didn't love the fit. They were a bit too small length-wise, and I didn't need them in a wide. I reordered a 10.5 and loved it! So they might run a smidge smaller than expected.Beautiful shoe, love the short height and it's so comfortable! I need to wear them around the house to break them in before my wedding, but hopefully I remember to report back in a month about how they felt after wearing them all day!
I had these shoes in black. Very comfortable and I can wear all night, so I bought the beige ones. Comfortable and look great, can’t beat that!
I've always had not only wide width feet (from side to side) but also thick from top of my foot to the bottom, which makes finding shoes that fit and feel comfortable a bit more challenging. These were great for a business casual event I attended. My feet didn't hurt, my feet didn't slip around while wearing these, and I felt very secure walking in them. Perfect sandals for wide feet, and can go dressy or casual.
I am 5'8" and 235 I absolutely had no problems wearing these right out of the box all day. These are the most comfortable dress shoes I have ever worn.
I just wore these to a wedding last night. Even though my foot is somewhat sensitive from a previous injury, my feet did not hurt at all. I am the person who can never wear high heels and whose feet always hurt from typical shoes. These are basic, decent looking shoes but I am so glad I bought them as my main goal is not to be in pain at events where a sneaker or comfort shoe will not work. If you are seeking comfort--get this shoe. I purposely chose a shoe with a little platform because that mitigates the heel height so that you feel like you have a lower heel than you actually have.
First off, let me just say that I LOVE the shoe! I bought them for a wedding in Rome and they were perfect for walking around the cobblestone streets and dancing all night long. I have very hard time finding heels that fit my foot (narrow heel, wide toe box) and these were perfect in a 8.5 wide.That being said, I am disappointed in the durability. The leather chipped off on the toe and foot bed lining started peeling up after the first use!I would expect that $120 would last me years, not one night. I am hoping this is just a fluke for this specific pair, and will be writing to Naturalizer to see if I can get a replacement.
After reading the reviews, I thought these would be comfy. But I didn't think these would this THIS comfy. These shoes are really classy and yet also are 100% walkable (and even runn-able!) all day. Not sure how Naturalizer made such an amazing shoe, but I can't wait to get these in other colors too now that I have my forever go-to shoe. I almost wish I was lying when I say that these shoes are comfier than some of my flat shoes even. I am a size 10.5 which you can never find in basically any shoe, so I am so so happy with the sizing, the fit, and the comfort levels.
I read the reviews prior to ordering and decided I should order the wide even though I wear a medium width. I like to have room in the forefoot of my shoes. However the wide was way too big. Returned them and ordered a medium width and they fit perfect. I do not have a narrow foot by any means but it’s not wide either. The strap across the forefoot is nice and leaves room for the toes!!
