Customer Reviews Naturalizer Taimi

Needing shoes for my son's wedding, I tried 16 pairs and this was the only one comfortable enough for this event! I have a wide foot with a narrow heel and these work well.

I typically wear a 8M or a 7.5W. I purchased a 7.5W and was surprised to find it very tight in the toe area / foot area. Aside from the comfort factor, this made my foot look chunky and fat. While there seemed to be sufficient padding on the bottom of my foot, the heel area felt very stiff and scratchy. The shoe has shiny silver staps and just the right amount of glittery straps to make it really cute. Too bad it wasn't comfortable on my foot. If you typically run between a Medium and a Wide, I suggest going with the Wide. If you typically purchase a Wide, you might want to consider a different shoe. I'm keeping the Walking Cradles, Leash / Silver Sheep instead. They cost a little more but they look nice on my foot and were very comfortable.

I was looking for sandals to wear at my brother's wedding--something that looked good, and that I could dance in all evening. These worked really well.

These shoes are very comfortable and true to size. The only reason I rated them an overall of 2 stars was because the second time I wore them the very bottom of the heel part came off, which I thought was pretty bad for the price of the shoe and the fact I only wore them twice. It was only the little piece that goes over the heel that came off, I was able to super glue it back on.

I was searching for the right shoe without a real high heel. This one is a keeper! Just what I was looking for. They look great with my Capri jeans and a sparkly sweater. I added silver dangly earrings, a bracelet and was good to go! Even for a 60+ yr old fashionista! Very comfy, lots of footbed padding & heel height just right. Love the silver!

Finally a strappy heel I can wear with my skinny ankles! I’m not sure this shoe is for everyone but if you have skinny ankles and have trouble finding straps ( even adjustable ones) with enough holes to get them tight enough, this is the one. I think they are also made for narrow feet so if you have wide feet then be sure and get the wide. I have baby bunions, and the straps fit me in such a way that they don’t sit on them. The pinky toe stays in but may rub with hours of wear. The heel is perfect for ladies who never wear heels but find themselves in a situation that requires them. Comfy out of the box and a little padding in them too. These are heels I can walk normally in and not look like a man trying to walk in heels. Nothing funnier than a woman wearing sexy 4 inch heels but walking in them like Godzilla. Ladies if you don’t do heels then these will work for your occasion. Get all the colors! ( the champagne ones will go with many dresses though )

I am not a typical high heel or strappy sandal girl but I needed a pair of sandals to go with a formal dress. These were great. The heel was not too high (around 2 inches) and they were very comfortable. I had a hip replacement 4 months ago and these shoes were great support through dancing and the entire evening. They are nice formal shoes but not over the top glitzy so they will go with lots of things in the future.

These shoes are just wonderful. The color is wonderful and they have a nice glimmer for dressy occasions. They fit well but I couldn't get the heel area tight enough. This is the reason that sadly I need to return them.

Cute shoe and I think it would be pretty comfortable. Unfortunately, the heel strap doesn't stay in place and slips down with every step.

The shoe looked pretty in the picture but not in person. Very little arch support and very little padding for the ball of foot. Also, ran 1/2 size small. Heel height was perfect though! Disappointed and returning.

This is a very classy shoe on my big feet! For my stepson's wedding, I tried 7 pairs of shoes. Because my feet and ankles swell by the end of the day (health issues), I went a full size up, and that worked perfectly. I wanted a dress shoe for a formal dress, and one that had a cushioned sole, had style and elegance. This pair was all of those. Simple elegance and style, not tacky or cheap looking, yet clearly beyond what you would wear for a formal event. thanks to zappos for all the free shipping and returns! btw, 68 yrs old, size 11 M.

I bought a pair of Naturalizer Taimi based on other people's reviews to attend our son's wedding. I no longer wear heels and not sure of high heels but no choice for the dress I picked for that day. Those were very comfortable and no aching feet at the end of the day. I was dancing through the night, no problem! I usually wear a size 8.5, medium width, and perfect fit. I think Taimi gives you Moderate arch support.

These are beautiful elegant shoes. I bought the same pair in black in a department store and they fit like a dream. However, the Champagne pair that I ordered from Zappos (and got in one day, cool!) the heel strap would not stay up. It was apparently sewn in at a shallower angle and kept falling down so the shoe would not stay on. The root cause, it appears, is that the tiny piece of elastic where the heel strap is sewn in on the opposite side of the buckle, is longer on the Champagne pair than the Black pair, by twice. Buckling them tighter doesn't help, it's just too low on the heel. But if you get a pair that works, they are very comfortable. Sadly, I have to send back. Also, I needed a half size larger than I normally wear. And I have a narrow foot, but the Medium fit quite well. (Meaning they might run Narrow).

I have a bunion & the straps were comfortable & they looked good with my dress for a wedding

I cannot believe how perfect these shoes are let me tell you I have a small narrow foot , plus a small bone nodule that sticks out, that was my worry ,plus a very narrow instep find it very hard to get strappy shoes to fit always too loose on the uppers , I went with my size which is 61/2 medium width . I had to put the strap on the last hole but the shoes feel awesome on me, I instantly know there going to be comfortable , also noticed the none slip rubber sole and the padded heel and sole for extra cushioning, wearing them to an evening wedding . will let you know how comfortable they really were after the big test of dancing etc etc etc

Love - Love - Love this shoe. Purchased for a wedding. Fit my narrow foot perfectly right out of the box. Very comfortable with cushion insole that supports my arch. I purchased the silver and they look very expensive. Can wear for an elegant evening out, wedding, or just to add some spark to just about any outfit. One of the best fitting shoes I have purchased in quite a long time.

I ordered eight strappy, black sandals in WIDE WIDTH with a fairly small heal. Seven of the eight pairs felt so narrow, I could barely get my foot in. While this shoe was pretty, it felt like a medium width and not a wide width. Sending back.

These shoes are really beautiful - just enough shine and sparkle without being too gaudy. However, I'm returning them because they are too narrow. I read previous reviews that stated they were very narrow. I have an average width foot, so I ordered the wide shoe. The straps were still too tight for my comfort level. If you have a narrow foot, the standard width will probably be just right for you. If you tend to be a standard width, but not too wide, you will do fine with the wide fit. I gave them a 5 star because they are very comfortable other than my preference for roominess in width. The heel is a nice height - they look like nice dressy high heels without being unmanageably high - and they are very easy to walk in.

Super comfortable! I bought these for a wedding, and while I haven't taken them dancing I've been wearing them around the house to get used to them. It doesn't really seem like that is needed! I never wear heels anymore as they hurt too much, but I believe these will get me through my wedding events in comfort and style.

Bought these for my son’s outdoor summer wedding. They were so comfortable. I have a very hard to fit foot—10 or 10.5 narrow with a very narrow heel. I wore these all day and on my feet for hours. And they look beautiful as well.

These were perfect for my mom, who has tiny feet and dislikes wearing heels! They are comfortable but still stylish.

Cute and comfortable shoe but I returned them because I felt wobbly on the skinny heel. I’m a nurse so I do not wear heels very often and these heels made me feel unsteady. They have have a nice rubber sole on the front half of the shoe so they are not slippery like so many dressy shoes.

A very cute shoe with a reasonable height heel; but I need to return it because it is just a bit short.

Really pretty and comfortable but like other reviewers, strap kept slipping off my heal. I have never been able to wear sling backs unless they have a buckle but sadly these acted similar to the sling backs and I had to send them back.
