Customer Reviews Native Shoes Monaco Low

These are great-looking shoes, as most Native Shoes are. I am disappointed, though, that Native does not address the design flaws that plague nearly all of their shoes. Like the rest of their line, these shoes are very narrow (I have a narrow foot and these are tight); the EVA foam on the bottom is completely exposed, thus it wears down quickly (I know this from owning many pairs of Natives). This micro-fiber upper surprised me, however: it's in the 90's where I live at the moment, and these shoes breathe pretty well. I have purchased Native shoes because they are extremely lightweight, which I love; EVA foam is so comfortable. They are like Crocs, but without any douche factor. But I wish Native would finesse the design and make them more wearable--especially the sole. In my opinion, the Monaco is the best design yet (in terms of style).

Great style but you get what you pay for. It looks like a Camper but feels like a Croc. The construction feels flimsy because the shoe is so lightweight and the material is a synthetic microfiber (upside being that it probably wears well). There is also very poor support - it almost feels like walking barefoot especially since the shoe is so light! I ordered a half size larger and put in some nice dr. scholl's inserts to solve the problem. overall, given the price point and the style, I'm happy with em!

These shoes have clean lines and and very light weight and I really like their appearance. But I returned these shoes because they have a very flimsy-feeling heel support, with no padding. I didn't want to take a chance on purchasing shoes that created doubts about comfort just seconds after trying them on.
