User Reviews
There was no question in my mind that these would be adorable, but I wasn't sure about how they would feel.My feet are crankier than most, so it's hard for me to find shoes that are both cute *and* comfy. I'm happy to report that these get an A+ rating for cute, and an A- for the comfort factor.The pointed toe is super flattering and pairs perfectly with wide-leg pants, which usually make my short legs and small feet look swamped. Of course, these shoes have the same elongating effect when paired with almost anything else, as well. And the beige color is the perfect spring / summer neutral.The comfort was the most surprising to me. While these don't seem to have a lot of arch support, they do have enough cushion to keep my feet happy for light office or evening wear. The leather gives a bit and is breathable, and the elastic inserts were a stroke of genius design to keep these flexing instead of tugging at delicate foot skin. I had mild discomfort wearing these on the first few hot days, but I haven't had a single blister during or after wearing them.Alas, they do have a pointed toe, so that means the toe box is less forgiving if your foot is wider in the front. I do notice some restriction in this area, to the extent that I probably wouldn't wear these two days in a row. But it's not enough of a comfort issue to keep me from wearing them weekly.
Super stylish flats for work! I plan to purchase these in several colors! Perfect for work and extremely comfortable. I’m especially impressed with the quality. I walk every lunch break and these still look brand new. I would however recommend using some kind of protective spray for the suede. I wear a size 8 and found these to run a tad big, not big enough to size up as I personally have wider feet. I get compliments on them all the time. Love love love
Purchased this pair and another color in the black leather/suede in a size 6. I like how the flats look and it's perfect for the office. I'm hoping the flats will stretch out in the front after a few wears because they are constricting and I don't even have wide feet.The flats did rub my heels raw because they were loose on me. I ended up putting heel grips on them and now they fit much better. I do love the fact that the flats are have more cushion than most flats. Still on the fence if I should keep the black pair.Update:I purchased these flats in the nude leather and black suede/leather. The nude pair was tight on my toes but it should stretch over time. The suede pair was more comfortable out of the box! I still needed to add a heel grip otherwise my feet slips right out due to my lack of heels.I highly recommend the black suede/leather pair. It’s very comfortable and I didn’t need to break them in.Increased 1 star in my review.
Honestly, I have not had on a pair of dressy shoes in two years. I am diabetic and my feet hurt constantly so I wear Ugg slippers in black and try to wear longer pants so it is not noticeable. However, I have a couple of events coming up and I did not feel good about wearing even brand-new Uggs. I looked and looked and ordered these d'Orsay copycat shoes. They arrived, and I looked at them and thought, I can never wear these. They look too nice and stiff. Not true, I took the stuffing out of them. They have a wonderful insole and they are extremely comfortable. I wore them out today for the first time, out for 2 1/2 hours, walked about 100 to 150 yards and they still do not hurt. I highly recommend them, so far so good. They look very classy. My sister does fashion shows for over 50 and she said: "You look fabulous today." She does not just pass out compliments.
I ordered these in Hot Sauce, size 4.5. They fit perfectly when I tried them on. But when I wore them for the first time, oh-my-god they were suffocatingly bonecrushingly tight around the toes. There is an elastic panel at the toes, but even that provided little to no relief. Hopefully with 1 more wear, they’ll break in and stretch out.Currently, I give these 3.5 stars. Aesthetics and quality come in at 5 Stars - great leather, quality stitching and materials, moderately comfortable insoles. But as of right now, the fit is too narrow (1 Star) but if they end up not murdering my feet the next time they’re worn, then it’s a 5/5.
Quality leather, beautiful design and wide sizing!!! Love Naturalizer shoes.
I’ve had these shoes for six weeks, and they have had very light wear. Barely any street walking. Worn on carpets in an office. The sole of one shoe is already detaching. They are comfortable and look good, but I’m extremely disappointed in the quality and expected better from this brand.
These are great for work/school/business casual! I love the leather and suede mix. They look classy on and fit my foot great. I do have a narrow foot so I cannot speak for those who have wide feet, sorry. I stuck to my actual size of 6.5 instead of 7 and I recommend that if you are a half size, stick to your size and don't size up. Since these are a flat with an open side (so the whole shoe isn't completely connected like a sneaker or loafer) this shoe will mold and stretch to your foot contour. Sizing up will make your foot (heel) slip out eventually..... happened to me on a different but similar pair and I had to eventually donate them. These are my favorite pair of flats.... borderline only pair because flats aren't great on my feet all the time and the New England area gets too chilly for flats in general from Dec-April. Anyway, I would buy these!
