User Reviews
This is a great classic patent leather pump.
Purchased an 8 1/2 narrow for my flat and narrow feet. I'm a petite woman and I had to place arch supports in these shoes to make them tighter, But they are a beautiful shoe-well-made and they have 3 holes on the strap for a tighter fit. I love the square toe-more comfortable for my toes.
They were a little loose, I’m usually a 6 1/2-7 so I went with the 7 since dress shoes usually run small for me. I should have went with the 6 1/2.That’s not anything on the shoe however. Different brands just run differently. It’s a very comfortable shoe and I will most likely gift these to a friend and order a 6 1/2 for myself.
I really like these shoes the color is different and they fit well
I ordered a 7W. I'm normally 7 but in good shoes, there's always a challenge. The heel was a little too high for my taste, and 7W was too big. It's a nice shoe, though.
This shoe fits perfect and exactly what I was seeking! The heel is the height I wanted. I’m never disappointed with a Naturalizer shoe. The quality is above board!!
These run large. I would order a half a size smaller.
One if the nicest pair of mid height shoes outhere. Comfortable, and the block heel gives stability
