Consheel cushion insert sticks to skin when walking
I bought two pairs of these sandals to replace an earlier version of the Naturalizer Natural Sport sandal which I just loved. While these are very confortable, there are a couple of features on this new style that I don't particularly like. I find the plastic clasp at the ankle a little uncomfortable if I move my ankle in certain positions (my prior pair had just a velcro strap). Also, the Dr. Scholl's insert in the heel, while designed for cushioning and comfort, is distracting, and it tends to stick to my heel and make a popping noise while I walk (the noise is not from the shoe but from the skin rubbing against the vinyl.) The diagonal strap across the top gapes a little, but the shoe still fits securely. The only other thing is that I found these just a little too short--my heel overhangs slightly in the back. I can loosen the strap so my foot slides forward but then it feels too loose. I do like the trimmer look and and styling in this new version, however.

These shoes are awesome! There is no break-in period. I wore them immediately and my feet were surrounded in comfort. These are great day/walking sandals. My granddaughter keeps me busy inside and now outside with the weather getting warmer. The support is outstanding. The shoe runs true to size and width for me and with the two pieces that velcro adjustments can be made easily.

Great Shoe for Lots of Walking
PostedApril 12, 2010
Proscomfortable, cushioning
I ordereded this shoe for an upcoming trip where we planned to do a lot of walking. I wanted to have enough time to "break in" the shoe; however, when I put them on that wasn't necessary. Great shoe and terrific find in a wide width.
