Shoe Size: Felt a full size smaller than marked

Way smaller fit than size states - The shoe is beautiful and had a nice cushy lining. However, a size 9 fit like an 8 or smaller. I would venture to say you'd need a full size larger. Also, for me, the heel was just a tad too high. At 57, I just can't wear high heels much anymore so this was slightly higher than what I consider a pump to be. I wish I could have kept the shoe, however, as it had a stylish attractive look.

A bit overrated - I don't get the hype on these. I own them and like them well enough, but they are not *that* comfortable. I am almost always a 7 1/2, but the 7 1/2 was too big and the 7 too small, so I went with a 7 wide. I'm also not happy with the quality. I've had them for a couple of months and wear them a maximum of twice a week, and already the seam where one piece of leather meets another has torn. Buyer beware!

An all around dress shoe - I have tried to find the perfect dress shoe, for comfort as I have a metatarsal bursitis and a wide foot. I thought this would work after purchasing and sending back so many pairs, but after awhile I could not wear them. For those with a "normal" foot, I think it's a very versatile shoe.

Cute and Comfy! I have ball of foot pain from wearing 4" heels for many, many years. I bought these several months ago and although and they are so comfortable! These are actually the perfect height for my feet but I do still wear 3" once in a while and when my feet start aching, these are the pair I go to.

Wedding shoes - I have been wearing Naturalizer's for years & found that this pair was not as comfortable as others that I have purchased. The color was listed as beige but is more of a bone color. It is a classy-looking shoe.

Comfortable dancing shoes! I needed a pair of gold pumps for a wedding I was in and these turned out to be the perfect pair. The heel was a comfortable height, the peep toe looked cute, and the color was as advertised.

Good comfort and style - I can always count on Naturalizer to be true to size and this pair was. It is a very stylish shoe with a dressy but comfortable heel. I wore them for hours and hours at my grandson’s wedding and came home with happy feet.

Comfortable attractive shoe! Very comfortable and attractive. I have bought it for a wedding coming up soon, and have been wearing it at home to make sure it will be OK. No problems, and very comfortable without any "break in" period. I am sure it will be great for the wedding!

I'm a very steady size 6.5, however, the 6.5 was too big. I re-ordered a size 6 and it fit perfectly. I'm not too used to heels but I find this shoe comfortable to wear and perfect for when I need something dressy.

First Heels in Years! Haven't been wearing heels...have been going for comfort. Needed heels for my nephew's wedding...ordered 4 pairs; this was the only one to really fit from the first moment. Walked, stood, and danced...no hurting feet! Yahoo!

Naturalizer Akin - I was looking for shoes for a wedding where I'll probably have to stand a lot, so comfort was the number one issue. I have super wide, box-shaped feet, so not all wide width shoes will do the deal. These shoes fit straight out of the box, have a nice cushion in the forefoot, and the color is this lovely subtle pearlized gold. The whole 'gold pumps' thing was something I was a bit concerned about but these are a shoe that I will be able to wear with lots of summery things and at the same time are very dressy.

Other brands recommended by reviewer: Any Naturalizer shoe. The wides are great.

Great shoe - at first when I tried it on, it felt too tight in the toe. I have a very wide foot, but it stretched quickly. I wore them to a wedding and danced all night and it was only at the very end that my feet started to hurt - great looking shoe!

Naturalizer Akin - I love this shoe!! I wear an 11 and have a hard time finding shoes that look good and are comfortable. I wore these to a job interview and had them on for about four hours. They felt wonderful. My only complaint is that they don't come in more colors. I ordered them in black, and the only other colors were beige and gold.

Terrific Anytime Pump! Comfortable from the moment I first put my feet inside these shoes! Great with skirts, dressy dresses, or a suit for work. Naturalizer does it again. Enjoy these shoes!

Great Shoe! I purchased these shoes through Zappos last week, to wear to a wedding last night. I have a lot of trouble finding shoes that fit me well. I work in a laboratory and wear New Balance shoes for comfort every day. I also am a competitive walker and wear Mizuno shoes to train and do races. Therefore, I do not have "princess feet"!!! These shoes were great! I wore them...and danced... without much discomfort...for about 8 hours although by the end of the evening, my feet were ready to be free! I wore these shoes for an hour or so around the house ahead of time to get used to them. I did find them to be a little on the large side. The 7's fit my heel but pinched my toes and the 7 1/2 were loose in the heels but felt good everywhere else. I bought some Dr. Scholl's heel pads. This snugged up the heel and prevented blisters. This is great site to shop for shoes. The return policy is great and the delivery is fast!!

Fabulous for wide feet. I have a really wide foot and have a hard time finding cute heels that fit without me having to painfully stuff my foot inside. These are great! They are roomy enough that they don't cut into the top of my foot, and they even make my chubby feet look elegant. An added bonus is that they are COMFY. I can walk around the office all day, or party all night in these shoes with no discomfort. Highly recommended!

My crazy feet - Beautiful and stylish shoe with a perfect heel height. My bunions make it difficult to find a shoe that has great overall fit. Unfortunately, I had to return.

Nice shoe for the price - A lot of style and fit for a wide shoe. Great heel height. The material is stiff and rubs my toe at the opening. I have not decided if I will keep this shoe for those few hours I need a light lower heel. I think it is just the quality you get for the price, if this shoe was a $200.00 and good leather it would be perfect.

I just want to say your service is exemplary. When I need running shoes or cool new sneakers, I go to the web site, always find what I want, click send then usually see UPS in the next fifteen minutes or so. (And my home is in an extremely remote place.) Wonderful job. Edwin
