Customer Reviews Naturalizer Maude

Very uncomfortable shoe. My toes were not comfortable. Maybe someone with short stubby toes could fit. Seemed too small. Good construction otherwise.

I found this shoe to be too narrow for me. I usually wear a B. Also because of corns, the leather was too hard for my comfort. I am returning this shoe for a different style.

As an 8.5M size normally I ordered this in an 8.5M. They felt great, but kind of slightly too long so I returned those because I worried they'd fall off after breaking in, so I gambled that the 8 would stretch. The 8M did stretch a bit and is definitely less prone to falling off but may not be wide enough at that length (and may still be a bit small). There is a seam on the inside that still rubs on my right foot near the fifth metatarsal/pinky toe and gets uncomfortable at the end of the day. If not for that, I'd probably wear these almost every day. As it is, these will be my "nice flats" for when I need to present well but don't want to put on heels. I don't really like the synthetic insole - it seems to make my foot sweaty and slick. Might be worth switching it out for a leather or more breathable insole.

Ordered an extra wide width and it was still very narrow at the toes and the sole was narrow. It feels like they put an extra wide top on to a regular sole. Bottom was slick, too.

Cute style but too short for a true size 11. Wanted everyday work shoes and hoped these would loosen up but that hasn't happened!

Loved the style (slight heel/hidden platform in heel, showed some toe cleavage) and the color (subtle metallic pewter). However, they were so tight across the toes I thought for sure I had forgotten to remove an insert of some kind. Sadly, they were just too tight. unbearably so. Based on the rave reviews I am tempted to reorder in the same size just to see if my pair was a fluke.

I loved the pair of this style shoe that I've had for the last 5 years. Stylish and very comfortable. Since they're getting to be a bit worn out now, I bought a new pair as a replacement, hoping for the same experience. Unfortunately, what I found was the quality in the new pair is significantly diminished compared to the older version. The leather feels thinner and "cheaper" and the shoes are no longer fully lined. The sole is a slippery plastic, instead of a better material with more grip. My original pair was regular width, this regular width was too narrow and not comfortable at all. I still love the style and the way these shoes look, but I will be returning the pair and looking for something else to replace my favorite shoes!

I really wanted to like these shoes. They are very cute and fit well in the length. They are just cut so low in the toe that the shoe rubs the big toes and pinky toes. I gave them a chance to wear in by wearing them many times. The last time I wore them my pinky toes were both blue at the end of the day. Won't wear them again. The width and the length of the shoe are fine, so a bigger size won't help. It's the height of the toe box that is the problem.

I have very high arches, these shoes won't accommodate that and are very tight on top. If you have high arches, be forewarned. Other than that these are lovely.

I love the way these shoes look, but I could hardly get them on my feet. They were definitely too narrow and looked a little short also (when compared with my similar shoes in the same size). I am amazed that several users commented on these shoes being too wide as I found them so narrow in comparison to all the other similar shoes that I tried. Apparently, Naturalizer has poor quality control. I thought about trying the wide, but the shoes did not seem like they were going to be very comfortable. Also, the soles were very slick and I slipped around my wood floors. That was disappointing, as the color was perfect and the shoes looked well made.

These are very nice-looking shoes at a very good price. The fit seems true to size. One big problem for me - there is a very, very stiff piece of material inside - at the outer edge of the vamp. Presses down on my feet. I will take them to shoe repair folks see if it can be stretched but may not be possible - since very stiff and I do not think it is leather. As a result, I cannot wear these for a long time and I would not want to take a long walk in them.

These are super cute but too tight across the bunion. Some ballet shoes work with bunions, some do not. Since these shoes seemed to be made of good quality leather they might have eventually worn in well (very stiff!) but the pain was immediate for me so I could not chance it, I had to return them. They seem to be well made, the color is accurate and pretty. A friend tried them on, too, and they were too loose on her feet but she thought they were attractive shoes, too.

I ordered my usual size and one size smaller. Neither pair were comfortable. The short toe box cuts into my ever present bunion. I returned both pairs of shoes. I ordered two other shoe styles from two different companies (in that order) and I kept both. If you have bunions, this might not be a good choice. Ouch.

These shoes are very uncomfortable in the front where the material meets the top of my foot. I exchanged them for a half size bigger, but then they were too long and still didn't offer enough space in the toe area.

These shoes look so cute and stylish but they feel cheap. I'm not sure what went wrong. The rim around the toes feels like hard plastic hitting my toes. Maybe it needs time to "soften" up, but I'm a firm believer that shoes should not have to be broken in; they shouldn't be painful. The cushion feels okay but not the most comfortable. Also I am almost always a solid size 7 (M) and these are slightly too big, even with socks.

I like the look of these shoes and they are comfortable. But the more I wore them, the wider they got. They slip off my heels! They are also lower in the heel than I am comfortable with. Cute shoes, and comfy immediately -- but problems arose as I wore them. The heels wear down instantly, too. It's like they are peeling away! And they never got wet.

I just received these and although they are cute, they are very tight across the top (toe area) and sadly they are going back. I bought a pair of Softspots at the same time and they are the winner!

These are really nice looking. The 'weave' on the toe gives them a little something different. They are very soft and flexible overall, BUT the part that goes across the top of the foot seems hard and rigid for some reason. It's uncomfortable out of the box. I'm going to wear them inside the house a few more times to see if they soften any but if not, I'm afraid they'll have to go back. I won't trade comfort and wear a shoe that hurts. Can't figure out why that top feels so hard.

I wanted to like shoes; however, they were very uncomfortable. Gaped on sides and slipped off of heels.

For a 7.5WW, this shoes was surprisingly narrow at the widest part of my foot (above the toes). Usually this brand fits me pretty well, but this flat was just not attractive due to the tightness in that area.

I was on the long, fruitless hunt for flats that actually fit. This one bombed. The vamp is cut too low, cuts that big toe knuckle on the top of my foot. Although the rest of the shoe fit fine and seemed to be wide enough. I have a wide toe box. Very cute on the feet though. Disappointed, and sent them back. Zappos rocks for no risk purchases - so easy.

I have a narrow foot and really wanted to like this shoe. It felt great width wise and there was plenty of room for my toes, but just too tight across the top, had to send back for another kind.

These shoes are really cute...but really painful as well! They were very stiff, but I was hoping they would break in. I wore them for a few hours and had to take them off, even with bandages on! They pinched & rubbed the sides of my toes to the point it was unbearable.
