User Reviews
This shoe is quality and comfortable. My super sensitive feet were fine by the end of the night. I want more colors!
These are so comfortable! I am buying Naturalizer from now on… this is my 2nd pair of Naturalizers, I was able to wear them all day comfortably, I usually change shoes to save my feet, but I found myself changing to protect the shoes. With my wide feet, I’m usually limited to a few limited shoe styles that cover the sides of my feet. These solved that problem and they fit like they were custom made for me. I love them!
I LOVE these shoes. I have a size 10 wide foot and it is hard to find heals that are cute, comfortable and stylish. They style is flattering to those of us with a wider foot. I was so impressed by these, I ordered them in blue and tan. The blue is a great color and the tan is a nice neutral to wear with pretty much anything. I would highly recommend these.
The shoes are too wide for my heel but other than that seemed comfortable. I didn't keep them but wish I could have. However, I was super happy with the service from Peltz Shoes. They delivered them early and gave me my refund before they even received the return. This experience was comparable to Zappos so I'd shop with them again.
This show was a great investment. I can wear these shoes for hours.
I have a thing for heels. Love them! But I work long hours and am on my feet most of the day. This is the first pair of heels I've ever owned that are truly all-day-long heels. Well made! Awesome design and fit. Exactly what I was hoping for!
I bought these after trying them on at DSW. I wore these to work in the Fall. They’re so incredibly comfortable for 3.5-4 inch heels! Wish they had these in brown. I’d buy them right away.
Very comfortable and soft.
