Customer Reviews El Naturalista Wakataua N413

I bought these shoes in the Wood color and that was nice. However, the shoes were way too short which was a surprise since all the El Naturalista shoes that I have gotten before have been a 37 like this one. It might have helped to loosen the Velcro strap except that loosening it any at all made the Velcro show which just does not work for me. A bigger size was probably going to be too big in the heel, so I will just return them.

I love, love, love these shoes. I can say that three times because I own three pairs (for at least 3 years) and still love them. They are super comfortable all day long which is rare for me (I like solely comfort shoes, and these actually have some style!). They have worn well, not worn out yet, and still make my feet happy. Good for walking, and stylin' in skirts or pants.

These shoes are simple and comfortable. I think they have a little more style than a ballet flat and my feet can breathe. My feet are healthy and happy because I wear comfortable, foot shaped shoes and these will be among my new favorites. No problem with sizing, just follow the chart. The Velcro strap gives some room to adjust. Also, as a note, the picture makes the shoes look poorly made (glue and seams) but they look much better in person.

Cute - but should have returned. Runs large & my foot goes to the front of the shoe, thus crunching my toes even though there's plenty of room in the back! :( I thought day would never end when I wore to work & limped to my car at the end of the day!

I love these shoes. I needed something that my sweaty feat wouldn't get wet and stinky in - these do it. I needed nice casual look with toes covered for work. These do it. I went big and the return was easy and quick. They are good quality and I wore them to a 12hr highly mobile day of work and they felt great yet at the end without previously breaking them in. Arch is minimal compared to burks, but enough to support my feet with weak ankles that tend to need very good arch support. strap is adjustable, so each foot is happy!

I was looking for a cute/comfortable shoe that would be great for travel. I love these shoes. They are very comfortable and appear to be well made with quality materials.

I bought a pair in henna. They are really comfortable and fit perfectly. I will be wearing them on an upcoming trip to France. I just ordered another pair in blue!

I want to like these so much because they are adorable, and I feel they would be very comfortable, but the back straps keeps slipping down no matter how tight I make them, so I will return them.

Really cute shoes, I wish they would stay on my feet! Even when tightening up the back strap, they popped off my feet with each step. I so wished that they would work.

I have to purchase a replacement for the pair I wore every summer

Loved these! Great color, good quality, comfortable -- but half a size too small. Only comes in full sizes, and not sure whether the next size up will work or not...

Excellent fit and comfort right out of the box. I ordered my normal size. The sling back style might not work for someone with small ankles, but it was perfect for me and has nice room for my toes in the front. I would highly recommend it.

Overall, these are great shoes and I've gotten many compliments on the colour. I am still breaking them in but know since they are leather this really won't take long. I love el naturalista shoes.

Love these. My shoe size is 11/42, narrow to medium width. Perfect fit. Bought the Lila - a fantastic purple - and wear 'em with high-waters, knickers and boyfriend jeans, cuffed or uncuffed. The sandals hug my feet just the right amount, keep me steady with excellent grip and cause strangers to smile.

These shoes are made of a soft leather nubuck in an attractive color. They are true to size. I usually wear a size 10 and the size 41/10 fit well. They seem to have a good arch support as well and a comfortable footbed. My main problem with these shoes is the style. I don’t find them to be extremely attractive, but different people like different styles and if you find the shoe attractive then odds are you will find it comfortable to wear as well.

I love these shoes but they do run a bit large. but the support still feels good.

Cute shoe, soft comfortable leather, nice style. But toe space seemed cramped; and adjusting the strap exposed too much of the velcro. Very nice shoe for the right foot, just not mine.

Beautiful shoe, sturdy, well made, casual or dressy. Runs wide, because a medium fits my wide foot. Almost no arch support but since it's a dress shoe won't be wearing for long periods of time. Comfortable otherwise

These are adorable shoes that don't quite fit perfectly, but I liked them enough to keep them. I usually wear a size 9, but the 40 was too big so I went down to a 39. The 39s are a little bit too short, but I hope that with wear they will stretch out. I wouldn't want to be wearing these shoes for a full day of walking, as they don't offer much support and the heel strap can become irritating after a lot of movement. As a cute shoe that helps to dress up some of my more casual outfits, they work for me. I like the fact that the sole isn't overly clunky, which has been true of other El Naturalista styles I've tried. These really do create a petite foot profile. Not my favorite shoe from this brand, but if they speak to you at all they're definitely worth trying.

Nice shoe with an small arch in it but back of shoe is too long and won't stay on my foot. The front fits just right and if I buy smaller size it will rub on my big toes.

Very cute, earthy summer/spring flats...seems like they would have been pretty comfortable to walk around in. However, they did not provide enough arch support for my high arches.

This shoe looks nice from the side but looks more orthopedic at the top (looking down). It felt like it would be comfortable but the look wasn’t right for me.

Loved the style and color and apparent comfort even tho' hard to tell since it was too small.

Agree with other reviewers that say they dont stay on my feet. No matter what I do with strap to adjust, strap slides off heel.

These were cute, but were too short so they are going back. There is also absolutely no cushion in the footbed.
