Customer Reviews Naturalizer Emiline

I really like the look of this shoe -- versatile and stylish. I am always on the hunt for a cute and comfortable black flat. This shoe feels true to size in length, and my toes aren't at all squished in the toe box. However, they are just bit too wide, causing a weird gaping when I walk or bend my foot. I want to love these because of their appearance and because the leather is high quality -- but I just like them because of the fit.

I'm a pretty true size 7 in any shoe meant to be worn barefoot. However, I also have narrow heels and wider toes, which makes fitting slip-on shoes like these a little difficult. I initially ordered a size 7M (my typical size) and found it a little short in length and tight around the toes. I think a 7.5 would be too big, though. I reordered a 7W and the toe part feels much better, but the heels are a little too wide so my heels slip out of the back of the shoe if I walk quickly. The 7W solved the length issue though, so that's a plus. I really like the style of these shoes so I'm debating which size to keep. On one hand, the 7M may stretch a little bit and could eventually be a perfect fit (or it could always be tight), but on the other hand, some heel grips in the 7W might solve my problem. In sum, despite having rather average-width feet, I might actually need the wide in these shoes to make my toes happy. If you truly have wide feet, this style might not work for you, since I feel they run a little narrow.

I absolutely loved this shoe, but slightly narrow. It is so fashionable, but not quite as supportive as I was looking for.

There isn't much support in this shoe. It is a classic and the style is nice. Maybe a larger size would work

I bought these in black patent. The style is really nice and they are surprisingly are not clunky looking as this brand can often veer. I bought my usual size in wide to accommodate a slightly wide forefoot and very high instep. These would not be wide enough for a truly wide foot. The the upper is very soft -- it appears to be a very thin sheet of leather that is padded and lined with a synthetic material - -and the sole is very flexible. And, that is the source of the problem for me. The shoe does not have enough structure. It feels like a slipper, i.e., soft and squishy with little support and so would not serve me well for long periods of walking or standing.

These shoes were comfortable from the minute I put them on. I have pretty severe foot issues and I am looking forward to being fashionable in these shoes instead of wearing shoes fit for my foot pain. I will probably buy these again in another color.

I ordered my usual size 11 and had to size down to a 10.5, then they fit great! I like the flexible toe box and the material has a professional look. They are comfortable except on days when I have to spent most of my time on my feet; they have very little arch support. Nevertheless, cute comfy shoe, I would recommend!

Super soft leather. They were comfortable right out of the box, even barefoot. I ordered up a size due to moderate bunions, and I think I could have gone with my regular size. Very little support, and very flat/thin sole.

I’m usually between an 8.5 and 9 so I went with the 9 and they were perfect. No breaking in required! Cute enough to wear with jeans but dressy enough for the office. I haven’t done extensive walking in them so I don’t know if they’d hold up for a day in the city. However, my feet hold up well just walking around the office all day. My feet swell a little in this Texas heat but the leather is soft enough to give nicely. I don’t feel like I have to pry my feet out when I get home.

I needed flats that were formal yet comfortable enough for an upcoming business casual work conference. I want to look pulled together, but also be able to stand spending hours at a time on my feet. I ordered these in my standard 8.5 W. These were definitely a bit more narrow than I had hoped, but I like the way they look. I have a very difficult time finding flats (wide feet + medium bunions), so I'm going to hold onto these, wear them in, and hope they'll stretch out in width over time. Fingers crossed!

Super narrow. Couldn’t fit my foot in the shoe even though I went a 1/2 size larger. Usually take a medium width.

Very cute and comfy - not a ton of arch support, but compared to most fashionable shoes they have a great squishy footbed and enough support to get through a long day on your feet. I loved the style and they felt well made, but unfortunately they run huge! I have fairly narrow feet and normally wear an 8.5; when it arrived, there was a full inch of extra space in the tip of each shoe so I exchanged for an 8. When the 8 arrived, the length was fine but the shoes were so wide the leather gaped open alongside the inner line of my foot, so back they ago again for an 8 Narrow.

I have the Oatmeal Nubuck in a 9 1/2, which feels true to size and the style is perfect. Simple, comfortable and classic. I decided to order the black as well but I wasn't as satisfied with the style and am sending it back. The Oatmeal Nubuck color is like a taupe/light tan. Just what I was looking for. We have an area at work that the pavement is just rocks, which is hard to walk on with these shoes because of the support/shoe style. I'm keeping and wil refer a friend to purchase

These are beautiful shoes, but the leather on them is so soft, the first time I wore them outside the house, the leather on the toe tore. They're more like slippers than shoes, so if you wear them, don't wear them outside.

Wow — these truly were SO narrow! I didn't believe the other reviews. I've never needed a wide shoe in my life, but the regular version of this shoe was... mystifyingly narrow. I returned.

Cute shoe in the navy leather, but gapped oddly at the instep even in my usual narrow size. Otherwise nice. Not particularly supportive but I didn’t expect that in this style of shoe anyway. Might be ok if you don’t have high arches

This shoe felt very stiff and very tight across the top of my foot. It felt much more narrow than a medium width. Not comfortable at all.

I wear a 9N and this size in this shoe was too wide. I would say it runs large.

Unfortunately I have to return this Beautiful shoe (was on mark down $36) + I had a 10% off code .....I need a wide with & it's sold out in my size plus it's now priced much higher $88 now ....so I've replaced with the style Lorna Naturalizer in wide width navy patent leather at $56 I hope its just as beautiful Too bad I could'nt use my 10% off coupon on this replacement order ttpp
