Customer Reviews Naturalizer Elite

A Good-looking, Comfortable Shoe! This boot is great. The heel is not too high. It's a simple, classic look. I promised myself I wouldn't buy another pair of uncomfortable boots, no matter how cute they are! My Naturalizer Elites are first and far most, comfortable and they are CUTE. I have large calves and I've always had a hard time finding a pair of long boots. Normally, I just settle for ankle or quarter length. These boots fit perfect. They are not too tight on my legs, nor do they scrunch themselves down when I walk. I just love them.

I was excited that they actually fit my big calves, which I have a hard time finding boots that fit. They are very smooth too touch. However like many other reviewers I couldn't get over the slouch of the boot, it is the only reason I'm sending them back. I say order them and see for yourself, that’s what I’ve done too bad these boots didn’t work out for me. I feel for the money these boots are great.

Elite Boot - I enjoy the boots. They are just what I was looking for.

Disappointed - I got my boots today and they are being returned tomorrow. They are cute and I was excited about the fact they actually fit my size 16 calf. However, I wore them around the house and noticed they slouch badly at the ankle which makes them very sloppy looking (which is why I am returning them). I was hoping for a cleaner line. Too bad I really like them. For the short time I wore them I can tell you they are very comfortable and I could see how they could be worn for hours without pain to your feet.

Once I ordered a half size larger, I loved this boot. I have an E width with a high arch so I'm a tough fit. I'm glad that Zappos was able to fit me in a fashion boot!

Great looking boot but not my size - I love the look of this boot; unfortunately, they no longer had narrows in my size. I tried it anyway in medium width but it was too sloppy feeling so I returned it. Zappos was amazing- I placed my order at 11pm and by 9:30am the next day, I had the boots!

Not bad for the price - Unfortunately, the angle of the incline of the foot puts additional pressure on the ball of my foot creating some strain at times. But other than that, they are great.

The ones I bought - After ordering and returning 12 (!) pair of boots, these were the ones I kept. (Thanks, Zappos, for letting me know when they came in so I could order them immediately and get what looked like the last pair for that week.) Reasons I kept them: 1. They fit. 2. They were comfortable. 3. They looked good with the skirt that needed them and quite a few other outfits as well True, they are not knee high, and therefore I'd not wear them with a short skirt, but that doesn't matter with a long skirt or pants. The heel is low-ish, which makes them more comfortable but less "wow." The price is certainly right. The really shininess was a bit off putting, but not a deal breaker. One thing to note is that they are quite warm inside -- and not so warm outside (a failing of synthetics generally).

Overall a great boot - They are very comfortable and clean up very easily. I ordered a 1/2 size larger than I normally wear so I could wear them with socks and they fit great. The heel is the perfect height and it is very sturdy...easy on my bad back.

Width true to size. Bunches a little at the ankle.

I love the boots except the heel is higher than was described on the web page. It is a 3" heel which is higher than I usually wear.

Nice Boot - I am very happy with this boot. It fits well and is comfortable to wear all day. It looks great with a skirt, slacks or jeans. My only problem is the shaft tends to slouch a little and I find myself pulling it up a few times a day.

SO glad I ordered these! I'm a tiny gal & have been looking for a pair of dress boots that would fit well, look smart & also be practical in Midwestern winters. Tada! I was willing to pay lots more, but I found this perfect bargain. And I actually like the fact that they're not genuine leather. They are a bit scrunchy in style on my leg, but they are smooth & comfy! Excellent heel height. The shaft is narrow enough so I can wear these with pants, too. I wish my size was available in the other color!

Great Boots! These boots were a perfect fit for me. I needed a wider boot so I ordered the wider size and I found them to be very true to size. I didn't realize the boots were all man made materials until I got them, so I find them to be a bit warm if you are wearing them for any length of time. I think they look great with jeans or a skirt. I ordered them in brown and black, and am very pleased with them.

Great dark brown boot - These boots are fabulous! For being the pull-on type, they stay up very well and I have small calves. The dark brown color is perfect with all my chocolate outfits! My only complaint is the leather easily scratches. I only grazed the left boot under the car brake and it scratched the top leather toe portion. Be careful with this!

My first pair of boots - This boots are great for walking around the city and for wearing to work...but I wore them last night to a concert where I had to stand still in one place for a couple of hours an it hurt my toes. Ouch! Overall...still love them.

Would I order again? Yes I would!! I am a very stylish voluptuous woman who wears a size 11W, so finding a pair of stylish boots is a hassle every year. When I first went on Zappos.com, I was amazed and pleased to see the wide selection of boots. Why did I choose Naturalizer Elite? For two reasons: the style and the price, not to mention, free shipping and handling. This style boot is just want I need for work or play, they are comfortable enough that I can work an 8 hour day at work and still be able to go to the supermarket after work and not worry about feeling discomfort. I highly recommend these boots.

A little short - I purchased the Naturalizer pull on boot (called Uptight) 2 years ago. This new boot, Elite, looks identical online, but when you get it home, you realize that it's a little shorter. It hits you at the calf instead of above the calf like the Uptight model did. Also, with first two wears it seems a little narrower than Uptight model. Otherwise, stitching is exact - looks identical! For all the times I said "Gee, I wish I had bought two of this shoe" (referring to a comfortable or really neat shoe) - my wish came true... Uptight was recreated into a newer version called Elite! :)

Close to being the perfect boot - Great heel height--high, but not so high as to be really painful. My big problem with these is that they are SO close to being perfect--the shaft is too short! In my opinion, knee length boots are the most flattering. These are a bit shorter than knee length, which means that they don't have the nice leg-lengthening effect that knee high boots do.

Good choice - If you want a straight-forward boot, this is it!

Wide Enough! I'm thrilled to find Zappos, and have the selection available in my WIDE size. These boots' heel height are a perfect; I was able to wear them at work all day with no problem, and are wide enough (finally, no more pinched toes). On the minus side: They are longer than my usual size 9's, so my heel is a little wobbly. But I'm sure a heel insert will take care of that. Also, they don't stay up like the picture shows them. They don't seem to be overly wide at the top, so that isn't the problem. Anyhow, they still look nice, but a little slouchy.

Very comfortable boot - I rarely wear any shoes with heels because it hurts my feet and back so bad, but these are extremely comfortable. The heel is not too high, but just high enough to look sexy and feminine with a skirt. I gave them 4 stars for look, because although they are nice looking, they just don't look as great as a leather boot, but then again you can't find a leather boot for this price. I definitely recommend these; they are very comfortable even for walking.

Slouchy - I loved these boots... until I put them on. They were very comfortable and very easy to just slip on, which is a rarity in a non-zipped boot in my opinion, but once they were up... they just slouched up around my ankle. Both my husband and I agreed it just made the boot look cheap. If the whole shaft had slouched, it could be pulled off, but not just the ankle. Too bad!

Great fit, strange shaft and excellent service - This boot fits really well. The narrow width is actually narrow, and the boot shaft is also great for a narrow calf. I agree with some of the other reviews, though, as to the boot shaft. It falls down into the base of the boot and looks a little sloppy. I wore them with tights and a skirt and got lots of compliments, so I'm thinking (or just pretending) it's not as noticeable from the side. I thought about returning them, but decided against it because I love the fit. Zappos' service was excellent, as always.

Looks great, not worth the money - I bought these in a rush before Christmas. I read all the reviews and realized there would be a 50/50 chance that I would like them. If I did not need them in a rush, I would have sent them back. The toe scuffed the first time I wore them. They are not leather and according to a local shoe repair can not be fixed. They look great but that is about it. I ordered the 8.5 D and it just fit in the width. I usually wear 8.5 M. I wish I could return them. Not worth the money!
