Women's Samantha Pump Ballet Flat

Let’s start with why I love these... they’re gorgeous, the quality is good, they don’t slide on the floor, and the caramel color is unlike anything I’ve seen. It has almost a shimmer to it.But there are unexpected problems that are why I’m sending them back:1) let’s start with the shimmer. It’s a love hate. Love because it’s gorgeous. Hate because it gives the shoes a blue cast in bright sunlight. Think pearly iridecent just not in your face. I was trying to buy a neutral shoe. But I also love the color. Just not what I was trying to buy right now.2) padding: I would rather have no padding than padding that doesn’t work with my foot. The pad that’s supposed to be for the ball of my foot is at an odd and uncomfortable spot for me. And because it’s not padding throughout, it’s a little bubble of uncomfortable.3) there is a bit of a small wedge hidden in the shoe. Take a close look at the pictures and your’ll see it. Maybe a half inch when you add the tiny heel that you see on the outside but I was looking for flats. This wasn’t a deal breaker but it did add to the problem with the padding.3) there is a tiny elastic gusset. Sure this means the shoe will probably fit more people BUT it will wear out faster than leather and it turns the right shoe into a flip flop for me (my right foot is slightly smaller than my left.) At the time I purchased this it wasn’t mentioned in the description and isn’t something you’ll notice in the pictures unless you are looking for it.These are a SLIM shoe. I expected this going in but I’m going to note it for people who don’t wear a lot of pointed toe dress flats. I typically wear an M width but in certain styles it’s a bit loose for me. I can not wear a W width shoe ever. This shoe in a M fits closer to a N. BUT it’s also leather which means they should stretch a bit on wearing them and conform a bit to your foot... if you can tolerate them for a day. Width was exactly as I expected it but if you usually wear round toes shoes, you might want to take that into consideration.So ... sadly they are going back. One of the surprises above wouldn’t have caused me to send them back (maybe the padding) but all three is just too much. The padding issue though will keep me from buying this style in the future. Honestly I was really hopeful I would love this shoe because there are so many colors!I have included photos though. No color correction done and you can really see how much the color of the caramel shoe changes with the change in the lighting and has a bluer cast to them with sunlight.

You walk right out of these. They look so cute on but you will be the one picked off in the horror show because you were adjusting your footwear instead of running fullout when Jason is stalking you. And for goodness sake sake stay with the group.

Right length, wrong width. Love the shoe hate my feet...ordered 8 1/2 wide my normal size. Will have to return

I am SO bummed about these shoes. I have somewhat wide feet, but not overly so, and am a true 8, so I originally purchased these in an 8W. I put them on as soon as they arrived, so excited was I to have FASHIONABLE flats in a wide width. Alas, after not even 5 minutes of wear it became clear that these shoes would not work out for me. They have a small slice of elastic on the inside of the front toe box, but it doesn't seem to stretch much (or, rather, it doesn't stretch ENOUGH) and my feet were unhappy. They felt too small overall, so I returned them and bought the 8.5W.While the 8.5W fit my feet better in some ways, they were just too big lengthwise. I tried to wear them as is and wound up with a huge blister on my heel from the shoe flapping off with every step (because my feet are solidly an 8 and these were an 8.5). I bought "heel snugs" to take up some up of the space, but those gave me blisters in a new and different part of my heel. On top of that, the front half of the shoe remains too narrow in height for my foot (even with the elastic bit mentioned above) and dug in to the top of my foot, leaving me with a big red mark across.I am so incredibly sad to have to give up on these flats. Maybe someday someone will create truly wide width fashionable flats. Until then, I'll stick with my cheap-o $20 flats from the discount shoe retailer. At least they don't hurt!

These seem great so far! Fit well, comfortable. They also seem like they are high quality and will hold up well. However, you may want to note that when I bought these 2 weeks ago they were $52.00, today they are around $88. I am not sure if I would have paid an extra $36 for the same shoe. However, I would definitely buy again for $52.UPDATE: The flats wear out quickly. Within 6 months of wearing them around once a week the toes and heals became very scuffed up and the nude material came off. While the material underneath the nude "leather" is also the same color, they do not look great.

These shoes are a perfect neutral color and look very classy. They also fit as expected. I wear a size 6 in dress shoes and a 6 1/2 in all other shoes. I normally take an average width but have a somewhat wide forefoot and narrow heel and so have to be careful as many shoes pinch my toes. I ordered the 6Wide for this reason, and the shoes fit great. If you normally wear wide shoes or have fat feet though, this shoe might not work for you. I didn't like that there is a 1 inch heel as I wanted a very flat shoe. The description said 0.25" and the image shows this as well, but the heel is built into the inside. Fortunately there is a little cushion in the forefoot too so the actual heel-toe drop ends up being a little smaller and was acceptable to me. The shoe is fairly comfortable otherwise as well. I wasn't sure whether this style would bind or slip off, but it does neither. I can wear them barefoot as well as with thin nylons or tights. I haven't yet worn them outside of the house though. The pointed toe and lack of ankle strap makes my legs look a little longer. These are my first Naturalizer shoes, so I hope they hold up and last a long time.

ACTUALIZACIÓN 26NOV2019:Luego de un par de usos con los ajustes, el zapato ha dado de sí y quedan flojos del talón de nuevo, por lo que los ajustes ya no impiden que se zafen o friccionen. Lastima menos que sin ajustes pero no son lo que yo esperaba: unos flats cómodos para andar todo el día en ellos. Cambio mi calificación de 4 a 2 estrellas._________RESEÑA ORIGINAL:Soy fan de Naturalizer por su comodidad, calidad y durabilidad (tengo ochos años unas sandalias wedge y con una visita al zapatero para retoque de pintura se siguen viendo maravillosas, además de que puedo traerlas todo el día o toda una boda sin cansarme).La primera vez que me puse estos zapatos, me sacaron ampollas, especialmente en los talones, del lado interior, y otra en el empeine derecho, donde queda el borde de la cubierta de la punta del zapato. Todos tenemos los pies ligeramente distintos de tamaño, en este caso a mi pie derecho el zapato le quedaba muy amplio y por eso el roce.Lo solucioné con cuatro taloneras autoadhesivas. En los talones usé taloneras antideslizantes: en el zapato derecho usé una completa en el centro y complementé con otra recortada para el área interior del talón. En el zapato izquierdo solo usé una, normal: en el centro.Pero seguía rozando el pie derecho en el empeine, así que agregué una taloneras acolchada en la zona de la bola del pie ¡y listo! Ya no se me salen no me quedan flojos.Yo soy talla 25 exacta y siempre he comprado Naturalizer en esa talla, en ancho regular. Sin embargo me pregunto si este modelo me hubieras quedado mejor en 25 narrow.No me quejo porque estos zapatos en oferta a unos 800 pesos y Gastélum otros 100 aprox en las taloneras.En todo lo demás, los amo: son lindos, de un color rico y vibrante, muy cómodos por su ligero tacón escondido y súper Chic.

Super comfy. I ordered these in my size and they stretched a bit lengthwise within one day of wearing them. I needed to add an insert for the back. Tip: if you need to do the same, purchase inserts in suede, keeps the shoes super comfy. I had originally purchased gel inserts and got a blister

The shoe is a little too long looking and makes your foot look alot longer than it is. Love the color and padding. I didnt order wide or narrow, just the normal width and it fit my foot fine.

I have this style in nude and was looking for a black pair for autumn winter. These shoes are comfortable and I generally wear them to and from work but they are dressy enough to wear at work as well. Love them with jeans too.

Cómodos y nice. EStán preciosos, luce el pie muy lindo y son comodísimos

nice fit, very comfortable Naturalizer shoes. Really like the satin upper. have received many compliments.

Like the color. Looks just like the pic

I looooove these shoes!! Nice finish and comfortable!

These shoes fit narrow which is great. I went a half-size down from my normal size. The quality is fantastic.
