Customer Reviews El Naturalista Zumaia NF42

These shoes are very soft and comfy. There's no breaking in time, they're great right out of the box. Love them.

These sandals are so unique, and the leather is wonderfully soft. They are perfect for casual outfits when you want a bit of pizzazz. I wear a 10 in US sizes, and the 41 fits great. My only concern is the molded foot bed which isn't ideal for my flat feet. Ladies looking for arch support would probably appreciate it, though. I love El Naturalista and wish more people knew about this brand! I'm so glad Zappos carries it.

This is a cute sandal and I'm upset at having to return. It was not comfortable. I have neuropathy and have an extremely difficult time finding shoes that I'm able to wear!

These are very unique and gorgeous. The leather is oh-so-supple! The footbed is amazing, think Birkenstock but smoother and more luxurious. You could definitely walk for miles in these shoes, great arch support. I ended up not keeping these because I found another more simple pair of La Naturalista sandals that I liked more, but would definitely recommend. I am usually a 37 and the 38 fit perfectly.

I bought these sandals for a trip and the first day I wore them they were comfortable and I love the way they look on my feet. There was no need to break them in. This is my 3rd pair of el naturalista shoes and like my previous shoes, these are made very well with good quality leather that is made to last. I normally wear size 38 and these fit true to size.

I love the looks of this sandal. The 3 color leather straps go with absolutely everything! The Velcro closure is perfect. And the ankle straps cover up my not always perfectly pedicured heels. But, the insole, tho soft suede, is a bit lumpy and doesn't have enough arch support for me. My advice to El Naturalista -- copy the footbed of Naot sandals and you'll have it! I wanted to keep them tho they're a bit wider and a bit shorter than I expected (I wear 9.5, size 41 in Naots) and ordered a 41 in these too. I just didn't feel comfortable on the foot bed -- there's a little ridge/bump on the outside of the footbed -- like arch support on the wrong side of the sandal. And not enough of a bump/swelling on the inside where the arch support belongs. Sigh. If you don't care too much about arch support, these are very attractive very summery, almost flat, sandals that you'll love.

These sandals are super comfortable, but I agree with the other reviewer who said that these run small. I ordered two other pairs of El Naturalista sandals with this order, and the other two are perfect in length (I am a size 39), but these are a little short, so I will need to return them. Other than that, they are cute and would be great for walking. I have a very narrow foot and have lots of trouble finding sandals that fit. These are the perfect width for me, so I am guessing that they might be a little too narrow for most people.

These run a little small. I bought the same brand in a very similar style that fit perfectly. So I assume this has to do with the heel covering in the back. Otherwise, it's a very nice shoe.

At a size 9, these are not for normal thin feet, sadly. Cute shoes, but oddly, even though they have stretchy elastic built into the toe straps, they are made for thick feet and so the only thing holding this shoe on my feet is the ankle strap which is also made for thick feet as although it has velcro, the velcro is stitched for fat feet. The ankle section is stitched for wide heels. Very cute, so if you have thick feet, I think you will like them. But sadly, for all of us thin footed people, the search continues for a sandal that actually fits.
