I was disappointed that this shoe was too wide. I wear an 8 narrow and hoping with the strap it would fit. It ran wide. I loved the look and style and it felt very comfortable, but I wanted to wear it for work with skirts and pants. But even with a sock on it was too wide. If the strap was shorter with more elastic or adjustable, it would probably have worked.

These are cute, comfortable shoes that fit my fairly narrow foot very well. If I needed another pair of black shoes, I would order these.

I'm always on the lookout for narrow shoes that are not clunkers. These shoes are comfy, good looking, and with the addition of a small pad, narrow enough. They look great with casual pants, jeans, etc.

I bought the Referee in size 4 1/2M in Black few weeks ago. The N5 system makes it really comfortable to walk around all day. I can wear it with socks or stockings. Looks cute with jeans, slacks or skirt.

When I first tried these on, they felt much too wide and loose. But as I walked in them, the insole and heel keep my foot in place in a comfortable way. I\'m glad I kept them.

This shoe felt perfect the moment I put it on. Super comfortable insole, and a nice, soft fit. No breaking in necessary at all. I have a pair of Naturalizer boots as well that felt just as good on day one.

Love these shoes. Zappos' fast shipping is wonderful. Got these shoes the day after I ordered them. Referees are super comfortable (padding inside the shoe, padded sole) and go great with work attire or jeans. I love them.

I am really thrilled with my new black referee shoes. They are very stylish and extremely comfortable, which is specifically why I chose this shoe.

These shoes are very cute and comfortable---lots of cushioning and support! The sides do bulge out a little when I walk, but it's no big deal, plus, my feet are really narrow. I would recommend them---they are a stylish shoes you can wear if you're walking around all day.

I love these shoes. I ordered them in brown and they are so cute and so comfortable. They are true to size. The leather is soft and molds to your feet right away. Great shoe!

Great basic shoe. They are nondescript enough to go with a lot of different things but not boring because of the stitching and button details. I needed a good basic brown shoe and this fits the bill perfectly.

I bought these shoes to wear during a professional trip abroad. As with any new shoes, there were some issues the first few times I wore them; however, I was putting high demands (lots of walking) on them. I'm happy to report they have become my 'everyday' working shoes (and casual too!) and I'm quite pleased with my purchase!

Usual excellent Zappo service - easy to order and arrived promptly. I investigated several pairs of shoes before selecting these and am, as always, grateful for the input provided by others which helps save costly mistakes and sore feet! This shoes is attractive without being overly \'cute\'. I have long, narrowish feet and I needed something which would be comfortable for long periods of walking and standing - these are doing the job. They are narrow enough without being too loose and their length is good. Support is good. Was a good choice at a fair price.

I have a hard time finding shoes because my feet are so thin. I wear a 10 narrow and finding shoes is not easy. I went into the Naturalizer store and was told they only go up to a size 9 in narrow now, so I took my chances and ordered them online. I am so glad that I did. These are very comfortable shoes. I stand on my feet all day as I am in retail and my feet do not hurt after wearing them. I bought them to wear with leggings and they look fantastic.

Reviewer: Barbara G from Seattle

The rich brown color made the shoes even more attractive than the picture. The size was true. Even though I wear a AA or AAA, the heels didn't slip. Since I usually wear a low heel, they felt very flat, but perfect for our casual life in Seattle. Unfortunately, they were cut so that top of one shoe cut across my bunion. I tried for a month to break them in. Either the trim didn't stretch or my foot was just too tender. I ended up returning them. This was my first order from Zappos. The service was fantastic. I'll keep trying to find something to fit.

I ordered the Wide in a half-size smaller than my usual size, which is the same thing I had to do with another pair of Naturalizers I bought last year. \r\n\r\nThe shoes are soft and slipper-like, though my toes still feel a little squished and sore at the end of a day, despite the Wide width. \r\n\r\nI\'ve mainly worn them with thin socks, so I haven\'t had blisters, but I could see blisters forming on my heels if I were barefoot. \r\n\r\nI knew what I was getting since I saw the photos, and they look like they did on the website. Cute if you look at them from the right angle, but from another angle they look a little matronly to me.

Reviewer: from Reno, NV
Overall: (4 Stars) Comfort: (4 Stars) Style: (4 Stars)
I bought the Naturalizer Referee in brown leather in 6WW for work shoes that I could wear with slacks and skirts. I couldn\'t find stylish work shoes with firm arch support (as I have in my Chaco ZX sandals), so I need extra wide to accommodate high-arch insoles and still avoid irritating my bunions. This shoe met that criteria, but the size 6, which was the smallest in extra wide, was still too long, so I needed to add Heel Snugs, which helped a bit. Because of all the modifications, I could not give it 5 stars. Overall, I regret the purchase, especially after I found the Privo Spangle 6W fit me and my insoles perfectly.

Reviewer: Cathy R from Massachusettes
Overall: (5 Stars) Comfort: (5 Stars) Style: (5 Stars)
The shoe was spot on both in width and length without any weird padding to throw off the fit. Very comfortable immediately. I didn't have to spend two weeks "breaking them in" for a few hours a day at work until the pain ceased. I wear these as my commuting shoes when I wear skirts. They are pretty enough so that I don't look like a total fashion retard going to and from work, but comfortable enough to walk home from the subway (20 minute walk). I love them!

These shoes were immediately comfortable, and this was definitely the most reasonable site to order them from. As an added plus, Zappos sent them overnight although I ordered regular shipping.

I had to exchange these shoes for a half size smaller. It was amazing at what Zappos did for me. They sent me the new size before they received my return. What great service!
