Customer Reviews Naturalizer Samantha

I’ve given up on finding comfortable shoes that are also pretty, so these shoes are decent based on my new lower standards. The pointy toes is actually comfortable due to the soft leather; I’ve got some hot spots on my Achilles’ tendon and gapping on the side from the stiff heel. The shoes look elegant, even in a size 10 like I wear. Can’t wear no-show socks because of the lack of material covering the arch. I don’t mind but some people do. They keep my toes warm in arctic office temps but not too warm outside in the summer heat. When I’ll wear them: job interviews, speaking engagements, weddings, with dresses, with nice jeans. When I won’t wear them: anytime I plan to walk a significant distance. The hot spots on the heel could be problematic and there’s very little cushioning or contouring for skeletal support.

These shoes were true to size and instantly comfortable, just like my other Naturalizer shoes, so I kept the shoe box and threw away the paper packaging material. I wore them for the first time yesterday and I work at a desk job. The most walking I do is from my car to my desk and back. By the end of the day, the upper part of the shoes had developed ugly creases which pinched the tops of my toes every time I took a step. I will be calling Zappos today to ask about returning them because I only discovered this flaw after wearing them for one day.

Overall, supportive and comfy. Right out the box, I wore 5 days in a row without a single blister or bump! I've had for 2 weeks now though and the heel is starting to separate from the back of the shoe. The rest of the quality feels great. I'm just disappointed in the construction.

These shoes are a perfect fit for narrow feet. No real arch support, but then, again, they are not walking shoes. I wear an 8.5 N, and these fit perfectly! I plan on wearing them with skinny jeans & even a dress, skirt or ankle pants.

Loved the shoe! Unfortunately, the shoe cuts right where my bunion is. : (

These were so stiff and uncomfortable I could not stand them for one minute! Got the taupe leather because the look is what I wanted, and expected them to pinch a bit because of the pointed toe... They were long enough but narrow with no initial give. Not sure they would ever stretch enough to feel ok. Expected more comfort from Naturalizer. Sending back right away.

Sending them back and am hoping to get another pair that is not defective. I had these on my feet for less than an hour, most of which was spent driving, to look down and see the finish peeling off! Not what I would expect from a pair of Naturalizers costing nearly $100. They felt great out of the box and look stylish, but I can’t walk around looking like this!

This shoe is beyond adorable! I ordered 4 pair, the tan, black leather, black velvet, and cheetah hair calf. I normally wear an 8 or 8 1/2, but the size 8 fit me fine. In the smooth black leather I was able to wear the 7 1/2. The pad in the vamp of the shoe is very nice and adds to the comfort. Now, let me add this for bunion sufferers: This may not be the shoe for you, and I may have to send all four of my cherished pairs back. Many years ago I had a double bunionectomy, And regrettably, the one on my right foot is growing back. After wearing this shoe in my home for about an hour , the pain in that bunion was intolerable. Let me be clear this is no fault of the shoe. The top of the shoe completely covers the bunion area and the leather is of excellent quality and is soft. Before I return these, I will consult with our local shoe repair shop to see if they can be adjusted to accommodate my right foot. This is a five star review. I just have a one star foot.

I bought black suede, size 9W. Usually with pointy flats I like a little more room and my feet are medium-to wide width normally. I thought I'd get the wide to give myself room but probably didn't need that. I wore a couple times and they're already stretched out almost too much. I have a feeling the M width may be slightly wider than normal at least in suede.

Overall, I really like these. I wish the point was a bit less severe; if I pay attention, I notice it when I walk. Love that you can't see my toes, but of course that means there's leather over the toes so creases form (photos are from the third time I wore them to work). Super comfortable for flats, really stylish. Would buy again!

These are the most comfortable d’orsay footwear I’ve ever put on my feet. This is not an easy cut to master. Typically you either run too narrow, which is why d’orsay styles are offered in wide widths more so than other women’s shoes, or way too wide. Too narrow or too wide always ends up in blisters. I slipped into these shoes at the end of a 15hr day on my feet. I wanted to simulate swollen feet to see how I’d do in these shoes after walking all day. They took a minute or two to warm up and then fit like a soft leather glove. At first they felt like they’d be too short on top and cut into my foot but I walked to my kitchen and boom: broken in. They don’t cut into any part of my foot. They feel like hey have arch support but the really don’t. However, there is padding under the ball of the foot which does provide some upper arch support and help tired feet. I’m ordering another brown pair and other colors.

These are darling shoes. Unfortunately, when they arrived they had scuffs on the leather, and dirt on the top of one shoe. I was sorry to have to return them....

I tried on these shoes at night (after a long day). They fit snuggly at my normal Naturalizer size. I wore them for a whole day at work and the next day that I wore them they were too big. They had stretched out. I wish that I would have bought them in a smaller size and let them stretch because they are popping off of my feet in the back now.

I just felt a bit like a posh elf in these pointy flats.

The fit and size are fine. They fit well with leggings and without. I suspected the shoes might cut my instep, but they do not. They make a squeaking noise when I walk that is annoying. Sigh. Hopefully the squeak will go away with time.

I had to return these shoes. I read many reviews from people with bunions, and didn’t see anyone say the front of the shoe doesn’t come up over and actually cover the bunion. It does not. The inside part of the shoe front comes right up to the bunion so the bunion sticks out very obviously. It is almost emphasized. Great shoe if you don’t have a bunion, but if you do and don’t want it sticking out in all its glory, do not buy these shoes.

I bought these to wear with a black jumpsuit for a wedding. I knew there would be dancing, so I wanted flats...plus I am tall and over 50, so I no longer wear heels:) The shoes were much cuter in person. My shoe snob friend even approved - she appreciated the pointed toe and the angular style of the shoe. The shoes were comfortable and nicely cushioned.

Took me a few days to break in but have worn them to the office for a year now. Definitely treat the suede with a protector from the elements!

They're great! Very comfortable and cute -- and those two adjectives don't usually go in the same sentence.

Great shoe, perfect fit look and feel. Wear them everyday to my office job.

Shoes are very comfortable. Fit is exact and true to size. I would recomend ordering your normal size and if you have a wide foot order a wide for your size. Professional look and feel. Perfect work/office shoe.

I love these shoes. They are comfortable enough to wear all day without fatigue.
