Customer Reviews Naturalizer Carmen

The minute I saw these booties, I had to buy a pair. They were comfortable from the moment I put them on. No break in was required. They look much more elegant and feminine when you wear them. My husband said wow and told me I had to keep these (okay!). And, even strangers have stopped me to tell me how much they like these shoes. Besides being so cute, I was able to wear them all day without a problem. The 3-inch heel didn't seem to matter, these were so well constructed. And, I got to tell you, I have to walk across three buildings, with a typical day lasting from 6am to 8pm, and these booties were comfortable through and through.

These shoes were cute and got good reviews, so I fell for it. The toe looked pretty pointy to me, and therefore suspicious. There weren't a lot of choices in booties with heels over 3" in wide widths. Well, this isn't a choice for that, either. I'm usually a 7W, but knowing Naturalizer's wides are cut narrow, I ordered a 7.5W, which is what I wear in some less expensive shoes. It fit like an 8B. The shoe was hugely long, yet narrow. I suppose if you wear a 8B, a 7.5W could be comfortable, but I don't. My toes never came anywhere in the neighborhood of that pointy toe. I'm very disappointed by Naturalizer in general, they advertise they offer a wide variety of sizes, but their Wide isn't and their WW Double Wides only come in orthopedic styles. I ended up with a duller pair by Bella Vita in smooth leather with a heel that seems lower than measured but is comfortable straight out of the box, and an adorable pair by Sofft in nappa leather that looks much better than pictured, with a heel that is definitely higher than measured. The Sofft still isn't as sexy as this could potentially be, but falling on one's face in too long clown shoes would reduce the sexy quotient.

This adorable shootie looks quite ladylike on. It is a soft, close-to-the-foot kind of shoe rather than a looser, stiffer boot. My foot is very wide indeed in the front, and this wide works for me. Could the sole use more padding? Yes, it could. I will probably compensate with a half-sole padded insert. Elegant, though, and my designer husband said "Minimal" which was a compliment. I like the lace-up side, with its girlie bow at the top. Not perfect but a definite keeper!

I just received my Carmens in the oxford brown suede color. They are a great, neutral shade of brown - they're not as red as they look in the photo. They look like more expensive shoes with how well they are made and the styling. The lace along the side and the almond-shaped toe are nice touches. They have a comfortable heel height, and are well-padded throughout the insole of the shoe, which I can especially feel under the ball of the foot. They feel sturdy and non-slip with the rubber sole. These feel true-to-size for me. I normally wear a 9.5 N, and that's what size I ordered. They fit nicely around the ankles. There's not a huge gap like some bootie/shoes have.

I needed a pair of practical shoes to wear to work on days when I need to be walking between buildings (on brick and cobblestone) when it's raining and freezing, while still looking cute. I usually only wear 3-4" pointy toe pumps, but I still think these are really cute and much more comfortable than my regular shoes (especially for extra long days).

Love this shoes! Heel height is just right for me. Stylish yet comfortable. And as always Zappos service and delivery is the best! Thank you.

I have ordered shoes from Zappos on 3 separate occasions and could not have been more satisfied on either occasion. Just one pair I needed to return because they did not fit properly. The return process was quick and easy, and Zappos paid the return shipping. What amazes me is how fast I received each of my orders - all 3 times I received my shoes 1 day after I ordered them! I would recommend Zappos to anyone.

These are great shoes. They comfortably hug your foot like a boot with the feminine look of a shoe. It's an old fashioned look in the best way. It looks good with wide-legged pants, with skirts, and with jeans. Great bargain!

I found this shoe/booty to be so cute and stylish - something you don't normally find from Naturalizer. Ordered in an 8W and it fits perfectly and is surprisingly comfortable considering the heel height. Side zipper makes it easy on and off.

I love all Naturalizer products. Without exception they are beautifully designed, well executed and a solid value.

These boots are comfortable and run a little big near the ankle. I am a teacher and I can wear them during most of the day.

These boots are gorgeous! The heel is higher than I usually wear, but still pretty comfortable.

This is a great boot! It is so cute and comfy! Because of the semi-pointed toe, I marked it a little narrower than marked. Just know that there is a point.

I love these booties. The are true to size, and I get a lot of compliments. I ordered them in the Cabernet and love them.

Awesome little boots! Got the black ones in my usual size 8 but opted for a wide. Comfortable and stylish. Look great with jeans, leggings and skirts! Hubby loves them, too.

I bought these boots in grey suede and they're super cute. I get lots of compliments each time I wear them. I got my usual size 9 and they fit well, the heels aren't too high and I haven't had any significant problems other than the usual "breaking in." I'm thinking the claret version is next on my list.

These booties are beautiful but I sent them back because they were wine red, almost purple, rather than the less blue red they appear to be on the website. If you're looking for wine red booties these are great, they look like much more expensive shoes.

I rarely wear heels, but these shoes are so comfortable, I wear them quite often and all night long!

Very comfortable shoe, looks great and wide enough for thick socks. The heel is a perfect height for dancing and long walks. This is a must have shoe for all occasions.

Really comfortable, easy to trot around all day long without getting burn or sore. Really cute look. Works well with skirts/dresses but also with slacks and jeans. Cute, ultra feminine and comfortable: that's a no brainer for heels!

These are really comfortable heels -- and the padding under the ball of the foot is good too. I wore these while giving a party and my feet did great. What a nice surprise.

Adorable, comfortable and stylish. These are the perfect shoe with skinny jeans. These also work well with a skirt or suit for the office. I can usually wear a medium width in most shoes but pointed toes are sometimes to narrow so I bought these in wide (for the sake of comfort). They are a little roomy in the toe but not enough to slide around. These shoes are so comfortable. I am definitely keeping these.

The perfect bootie for the fall. I love that my foot fits snugly (I have a thinner ankle) without much space. I have worn these a few times already. They are comfortable and great for standing for long hours. As a teacher I am always on the hunt for comfortable and stylish shoes. These fit the bill. I and between a 6 1/2 and a 7 and the 7 fits just right.

This is a very nice, stylish shoe. It runs a little big to size and I will need to order 1/2 size down.

These are very comfortable and great for Fall/Winter. The heel is just right for longer jeans and I can wear them all day without my feet hurting. The only complaint I have so far is that I don't love the lacing on the side (makes them look dated), but my jeans cover the lace detail which is good. I typically wear a size 9, and found this was a 1/2-1 size larger than normal.
