"I purchased these online thinking that Naturalizer = comfort and quality. These definitely are high quality shoes, and they are beautiful- the contrast stitching is gorgeous and the shape of the shoe is incredibly elegant. However, the shoe wasn't holding to my foot well (it ran long and I felt I couldn't find the ideal setting on the side buckle). Most problematically, the upper leather was very tough, and towards the toes it was uncomfortably hard. I sadly returned these but for someone more willing to take the risk of breaking them in (probably best done with some socks) then these shoes are for you!"
