I think these are beautiful, unique sandals. I wanted something a little dressier for work (dressier than Vans or Chacos, both of which I can get away with wearing to my office). I wear a lot of linen pants in the summer, and I wanted something streamlined, elegant, not too fussy. I do not wear heels. These totally work for my feet. I have long skinny skis, rather than feet: low volume, medium-low arch, bunions. The style hides the bunions without making them ache, and the velcro ankle strap means you can dial in exactly what works for your proportions. The leather is like buttah. There is zero arch support or sole cushioning, so factor that in. Strangely my feet were never sore at the end of a day wearing these; I tended to soften my stomp and stroll a little in them, and I don't think that's a bad thing. :)

These are a cute minimalist sandal. At first I tried them on and felt like they were pretty comfortable. But then I tried on a few other styles and went back to these and they felt super flat. So I would recommend for minimal walking. I walk everywhere so I need a good shoe.

Really cute shoes, well made and true-to-size. High quality leather, comfortable lined flats. Too flat, unfortunately, for my heels. I need the support of something like Naots, so I am sadly returning these shoes.

I am size 6.50 or 7 it depends on the brand but for this shoes size 37 is perferct. I think (for my taste ) they are a little bulky not as dressing as I like,
but definitly very comfortably. I will buy them again.

I'm usually a size 8 or 8.5, and the size 39 worked well for me. I liked the light cushioning on the footbed (it didn't feel strange under my toes). The width of the strap across my foot was comfortable, and the adjustable ankle strap felt secure on my feet. The leather on the ankle strap is thick.

My favorite sandals and I’ve been through a lot. I usually need a lot of support, but somehow these are comfortable, even for my bad feet. As for style, when I do the trick of putting a different sandal on each foot to see which I prefer, this one always wins.

They are perfect. Great quality and very comfortable. No need to break in. I have wide feet and worried they wouldn’t fit. They are perfect!

These simple sandals are great right out of the box. Somehow they are really comfortable without being overtly supportive. I have another pair of the same sandals in purple that I've loved wearing nearly every day all summer long for the past three years, with lots of compliments. Love this company. Only good things to say.

I LOVE these shoes. After going through a number of similar shoes and being disappointed I was so happy to finally receive this pair. They are comfortable and minimally designed so goes with everything. So sad these aren’t stocked anymore as I really wanted the black ones!

Great shoe! I’ve been looking to purchase simple sandals for longwear walking and these worked out great. I had been eyeing similar Steve Madden and Madewell sandals but haven’t had much success in the comfort department with those brands. So happy with these!

I love these sandals. I now own 4 pairs in various colors. I started by buying a pair to wear with summer dresses and couldn't believe how comfortable they were. While they don't have a real arch support, they are extremely comfortable to walk in. One pair lead to two last summer, then this year I added two more colors. I wear them all the time. The simple styling makes them very versatile...wearing them with dresses, slacks, jeans or shorts. I packed them for Ireland and wore them a lot (we had very little rain). I wear a lot of Ecco's for support but now find these just a comfortable.

I got these in Henna. They are stylish and comfortable right out of the box. I walk a lot for my commute, so they've already gotten a lot of use and seem to be holding up well. My feet are wide at the top, and I have a minor bunion. I feel like these are flattering on my feet. My only small complaint is that the padding on the foot bed ends at a strange spot so you feel it on your toes. It's not uncomfortable, just odd.

These are really cute, I just have very picky feet and could tell they would not be all day comfortable. For normal feet they would, but I have bunions and high arches so that is hard to fit.

I love El Naturalista shoes for their stylish designs and high-quality leather and construction. This pair did not disappoint. I ordered the sandals in rioja, which is a deep burgundy color that will look great from summer into early fall. The leather is super soft and I don't anticipate any break-in period. The style is sleek and simple, but this is not to say it looks cheap- quite the contrary! The foot bed is lightly cushioned and very flat- fine for me but something to keep in mind if you require more support.I wear a 10 US and ordered 41- the fit is as expected.

Excellent simple modern sandal that you can walk all day in. Not for running or doing anything very active. I would use my Chacos for more active outings. It's expensive, but it is comfortable. The foot padding stops in the middle of my toe pads- so that might bother some folks. Be warned.

I was very pleased that these shoes fit my narrow foot, and fit true to size. I bought them in "Leaf" and am very happy with the color. The only wish would be that they had a bit of an arch support, but I didn't purchase them to walk great distances in.

This is a soft, comfortable, elegant minimalist sandal without an annoying "arch support" bump. One band cut into my foot, so I will have to return. Too bad because I really liked these shoes. Highly recommended for the right person.

You might not be able to tell from the pictures but these are those perfectly simple sandals you have always been looking for. The leather is buttery soft and the shoe is perfectly constructed. I just wish they put the footbed with more arch support on this style, because as is it's lacking in arch support. But the footbed has a nice cushion. These are my new favorite sandals!

Yay! I love these sandals. They are perfect. Look great and are so comfortable. Leather is soft and the footbed is padded. I usually wear an 8 1/2 or 9 and I got the size 39 and the sandals fit great.

These are amazing! Comfortable right out of the box, no breaking in required. I'm very picky and have problematic shoes (weird heel bone spurs), but these feel oh so nice. I walk about 1 mile everyday with them to-and-from work.

I have never spent this kind of money on sandals but I got the first pair in wood because I have been wearing a lot of blue lately. I had these on a hour and had to order the black pair! I love my flip flops but these are so nice and look wonderful on and I kinda like nothing between my toes sometimes. Best pair of sandals I have ever owned. I love them.

Super cute and comfy shoe. Just didn't work for my foot. I have a wider foot and the strap hits at the wrong place across the top of my foot, making it look like my foot is sort of "squishing" out. Too bad because I really like them.

Let’s be honest, this shoe isn’t the most stylish, but OMG is it comfortable! I walked an average of 5-6 miles in Europe every day for a week and my feet felt great. Highly recommend for comfort.
