Customer Reviews Naturalizer Vanessa

I am so glad to have found Zappos and WW shoes. I have super wide feet. Before I found Zappos, I wore only men's tennis shoes. Now I can have pretty shoes like these and they are comfortable and don't damage my feet.

This shoe is going to be my favorite for this summer and work. It is comfortable and does not pinch my toes. I am on my feet all day and it fits the bill!

I bought these because they are so cute, however the band around the throat of the shoe is very tight and cut into the tops of my feet. Because the edge of the throat of the shoe is a sewn-on band, I knew it wouldn't stretch out or loosen as I wore them. I am slim and do not have fat feet, but I do have high insteps and even though these have a low-cut throat, they hit right where my instep starts to rise, just beyond the toe "cleavage." I was sorry to have to send them back.

I found the shoes were a little narrower than expected even though I purchased a wide size. There was also extra space in the front of my shoe which I was not happy about. If someone steps on my toes or I hit my shoe on something the shoe gets an ugly dent and I have to take it off to pop it out.

This is a comfortable and cute flat. The slightly raised sole makes the shoe very walkable, unlike some other truly flat ballet-style shoes. The small perforations make the style good for summer temperatures, but the shoe is substantial enough to wear into early fall. It looks great with cropped pants and skirts.

Finally. A shoe that has room in the toe box and stays on my heel! Stylish, comfy, bought them in 2 colors!

This is a very cute shoe. It's soft and feels true to size. It hits my foot problems wrong so I must return. Wish I could keep instead!

This is a pretty shoe that is slightly dressy. I ordered a 7W, which is my usual size. This shoe runs big, so I returned it for a half size smaller. I am well pleased with the 6 1/2W.

I was looking for a black ballet slipper-type shoe, but was trying to find something that had a little more sole and, hopefully, none of that "hard" feel that one often gets with ballet flats. I bought Vanessa because of its cushioned sole. I like Vanessa's style, although I am not crazy about the turned-up look at the toe, when viewed sideways. But that comes from the ballet-style front. It is o.k. I am going to Germany this summer and will be walking on lots of cobble stones and I expect that the cushioning and general comfort level of this shoe will really pay off there. For anyone wanting a stylish flat AND comfort, Naturalizer's Vanessa is it!

Cute and just a bit dressy. The squared off toe is either stylish or ballet inspired. I kept the shoes for the comfort and good look for skirts & work slacks.

After reading the reviews and seeing everyone rave about how they were true to size, I was shocked when I tried them on and they were at least 1 to 1-1/2 sizes too big. In fact, it was so comical my husband attempted to try them on. Haha. Otherwise, the style and quality are fabulous. It's hard to find modern flats that aren't boring or overly blingy.

I really wanted love these...but I couldn't. I have an average length foot (7.5), no arch whatsoever and a narrow foot. Because of the slight wedge, I thought they'd be a little kinder to my heels - and they were. But I was quite surprised the toes were so tight! I wore them around the house for about half an hour, but couldn't take them any longer. I'm on my feet all day for work, so there was no way these would make it through a 12 hour day. Sadly, these will be going back.

I typically like Naturalizers, but these are a bit disappointing. They are stylish enough, but very narrow across the toe box. Being square at the toe, you wouldn't think this would be a problem, but they are taking some time to break in.

I bought these because I'm unstable in my high heels during pregnancy. These were supposed to be flat but still professional-looking for work. They're nice enough, but of course not as "powerful" as a pair of pointy toe pumps. I'll keep them, but probably only wear them occasionally.

Loved the shoe as pictured online. I have multiple foot problems and the shoe aggravated them all, so I had no choice but to return them. Sorry.

This shoe is comfortable and stylish, but after just 10 wearings (all indoors) the metal braid holding the bow on one shoe popped off while I was sitting at my desk. The shoe looks like new, and I didn't pull or catch the bow on anything, but now I have one shoe with a hole where the bow should attach and no easy way for a shoe repair to fix it. I'm extremely disappointed given that I love the shoe otherwise. So very frustrating. Buyer beware.

Because of the metal piece that holds the bow on, the shoe actually creases into your foot. I'm mean A LOT. If I can figure out how to post of a picture of it I will. It's crazy.

This shoe is at least one size too big. Could not tell how it fit as it was too big. I did not order a smaller size, as it seemed rather flimsy.

Cute design and perfect for spring and summer but they run large. I ordered a size 4M, and these shoes were too big for me.
