Customer Reviews El Naturalista Angkor N974

I need a roomy toe box and small heel - this fits perfectly. I bought it to walk around London in the rainy season, and it is dry after my first walk in the rain. And so far the laces are staying tied.

I have wide feet, so it's difficult to find the type of shoes I like that fit properly, or even close. I ended up ordering a 1/2 size larger in the El Naturalista Angkor than my normal size, used a Birkenstock insert for arch support, and am a happy camper with these chukka boots. The left boot is a little tight across the instep because my left foot is a little larger, but am hoping these will stretch to be as comfy on my right foot. I wear thin smartwool socks with these boots and know they will be my go-to shoe for the winter. Finally, a nice looking chukka boot with a rounded toe that is comfortable. Yippee!

I love these boots! Comfortable right out of the box, didn't bother my ankles, trendy but not weird, and they look GREAT. These are going to be my favorites until summer. I can't help but smile when I see them. The sizing is fine for me, but maybe go up a hair if you wear inserts or thick socks.

Really comfortable and good looking. I have a sensitive top arch and usually shoes that tie over it are uncomfortable. These are comfortable in every way. I went up rather than down in size so they are roomy for use with thicker socks. Love them, get compliments...

The length was fine, but the style of the shoe is a bit narrow for me (I have really wide feet). I bought a 36, but I'm usually a 5.5 US women's so it's a tad big on me which is fine because the narrow width would be worse if the shoe was smaller. The leather feels great, and the color is nice; but the laces are super duper long and stiff causing me to double knot them to keep them in place (and they're still too long). Comfort wise, they're awesome, and they'll go with a variety of clothing. They are kinda boring for my slightly more wild or unique sense of style, but the quality and comfort with a good enough fit makes me really happy with these boots. I've only worn them once so far, so I can't comment on how they'll feel or wear over prolonged periods of time.

These booties are marvelous. I’m very picky about my shoes and these are absolutely perfect without question! I highly recommend these boots for their looks, as well as, functionality.

I love the look and the quality of this boot!! I do wish they would offer a wide width as well. I normally have to size up from an 8 to 8 1/2 to accommodate an orthotic. With this boot I needed to go to a 9 to gain a little more width. A true W would be totally comfortable and I probably could have stayed with a 8 1/2 if they did offer a W. I can and keep the 9B, I just will not be able to wear/walk all day in them or I will take to a shoe repair and ask them to stretch the sides. Also, the insert is not removable...which to me should be a no brainer for any shoe company.

Felt 1/2 size too small AT FIRST but after wearing a week they fit perfectly

These are cute and have a nice round toe and large-ish toe box, which I need. Sadly, they run small and my toes are crushed against the end of the shoe. They come no larger than the size 11 I ordered, so sadly I must return them.

These boots were cuter than I thought they would be, but they seem to run very small. I normally wear a 6 1/2, and these at a 7 were tight across the toes. The next size up is not available, so I can't see if that would fit better.

These boots are beautifully made in Spain. The leather is soft. The leather lining is softer. Super comfy. The round toes look a little comforty. I've been on the fence about keeping these, but I must say every time I see them sitting there, I can't get over the soles. They seem fine functionally, but are quite hideous. As much as I want to like this boot for its quality and comfort, the look of the sole (like pressed grass or something) is just too much for me, even though it would be barely visible while wearing them.

I loved the look of these shoes but they were much too narrow. The width is Medium but, even though I have a narrow foot, they were unwearable.

These were super cute and obviously well made. However, they were tight in the toe box for me. I wear a solid size 8 and have a high arch. Way too tight with thin socks. Unfortunately, I'm returning.

Too small. seem like a nice shoe but very expensive for such a strange fit

Slightly smaller than expected but still very comfortable. Super cute, as well.

Love them, love the color (plume) and are comfortable; but my heel slips when walking, so I'll be returning them.

They were fine but after I received them, I found something else that was more of what I was looking for. So I will be returning them.

These shoes were a perfect fit ... I swear a size 8 medium and ordered a size 8M and the fit was exact in length and width for me. I love the look and they are very comfortable. I studied so many reviews of so many chukka/ankle tie boots, ordering two different ones for comparison. These won out over the Ugg Chukka style. I was only able to wear them a while in the house as they had to be wrapped for my Christmas gift. I'll edit my review of anything changes. Thus far, I'm really happy with my purchase.

This shoe just works. It doesn't look heavy or clunky, and the leather isn't stiff. It's not a combat-boot style, but not full-on chukka either. Could wear with a number of styles. I'm wearing with jeans, work casual. I don't know how it does in rain, but it's leather, so how bad could it be? The leather isn't shiny or polished, just grounded, for want of a better word. Would purchase again. I have a size 41, and my normal shoe size is between 9.5 and 10. Works with socks, though not super-thick ones.

Super cute casual shoe for walking around, light hiking, and light rain.

Was tight at the toes at first. But after a week or so breaking them in they fit comfortably

These boots were exactly what I was looking for. I'm interested to see how they hold up in the rain and salt of Michigan's fall/winter. I've sprayed them with a weather protection spray, so hopefully that helps. The style is perfect for skinny jeans and paired with casual dresses. Also definitely feeling this brand since they value vegan practices.

A very good looking shoe. It is made well. The size 37 was a smidge too small and a 38 was out of stock. I have returned the 37.

Lovely shoes! I have one foot that has been injured so i need to go a 1/2 size up when i can find a shoe that provides comfort and "give" but support in the foot bed. These shoes hit the mark and this brand is made very well and look great! the wider toe box accommodates my injury while the heel is snug to the contour of my foot so the shoes don't slip. I can't say enough good things about the quality of this brand! I have tried several different styles and love them but have had to return some only due to my foot injury. Otherwise i would have a closet full of El Naturalista shoes!
