El Naturalista Reviews
Love them, but returning them. Hard wear in the heel (imagine that's the cork wood sole) but the leather is soft and overall support is great.

While these are nice looking shoes, they are very uncomfortable because of the wooden sole. They do not bend or give in any way. They run small and a little wide. The leather is top quality and they are very well made. I really liked the style of the shoe, but because they were so uncomfortable, I had to return them. Too bad, because I like the look of the shoe and they and the fact that they not that high of a wedge.
I love these shoes, I have two pairs in purple, a pair in yellow, and a pair in green. All that is missing is red and blue. I am an active plus-sized woman, and I wear a size 10 in shoes. When I got my first pair of these, they did hurt. I got blisters, felt frustrated, and wondered if they would work out. Fast forward a month or so, and after breaking them in, they were and remain my favorite pair of shoes. I am actually breaking in a pair right now while walking on my treadmill (yep, I have a desk attached to my treadmill so I can walk while working). I wear these all day, and once broken in they are a dream. They look adorable with pants, jeans, skirts, or capris. I even wear them with my nice linen shorts. I get compliments on them all the time, women walk up and ask me where I got "those cute shoes." I got back online today to get the blue pair for my birthday, but they are sold out! Hopefully they will come back.
I was very hesitant to buy this sandal, but took a chance on it because of the beautiful "viola" color, and I'm glad I did. The leather is very soft, and while there is not a lot of cushioning or arch support, the sandal seems to be forming to my foot as I wear it. The strap around the heel is also staying up. They may not be your favorite shoe for serious walking, but they're feminine and colorful. I ordered them in my normal Euro size, and kept them, happily.
I have searched, thanks for Zappos patience, high and low, for pair of slip ons that would not hurt my feet. I think, in these Campos N663's, I have found them. So far, they are extremely comfortable! Thanks Zappos for sticking with me and your patience! I shop nowhere else for shoes!
I read good reviews of these shoes before I purchased them. I tried them on in the store, and they felt comfortable and fit well. But, walking for more than a block and the shoes feel hard, rigid and inflexible without support or cushioning. My feet are so sore that I cannot walk. I am very disappointed. I have El Nat boots which I love, but these are a waste.

These are the most comfortable shoes! I surprised my friend while traveling in Europe because they were pretty much all I wore. So needless to say they are great for walking! True to size snug at first but definitely stretches out perfectly. If you are into Clogs, these are a must!
I love them, they're beautiful. Nice leather, great design, very comfortable. The only warning I'd give is that they make my foot look long. I'm 5'8" and wear a size 8.5, which isn't really big for my height but that's something I've noticed about them compared to my other shoes. It might be that the footbed is a bit narrow. So if you're self conscious about your foot size maybe not the best shoe for you.
Love these sandals! comfortable,and unusual! I have a narrow foot (wear size 10) and the area where my instep is did seem to bag a little on the inside of the shoe. But not enough to make me want to return it. Got it in black, and really enjoy wearing it - you have height but it is like walking in flats.
Love this shoe as it is really comfy and versatile but the toe box is angled and so my second toe being larger rubs against the front. I wish there were half sizes!!! :(
I recently bought the another short boot from El Naturalista, and assumed the sizing would be the same. Unfortunately, this one was too big. It seems that the size can be different with each style. I love the materials this company uses, and the craftsmanship is very good. This style doesn't have much cushion or arch support, unlike the clog-like sole of their other shoes and boots. Although the sizing is so unpredictable, Zappos makes it easy to try things on and return what doesn't fit.
Each El Naturalista style seems to have its own sizing, which can be frustrating. This style runs very small, and I would recommend ordering one full size larger than you normally wear. They also seem to vary by color. I ordered this shoe in black and brown-henna, and while the black just fit, the brown was too small. They don't have any arch support, and there isn't enough room to add orthotics, even when removing the insole it comes with.
These are so cute and feel as if they would be very comfortable but run very small. I usually wear a 9, ordered a 40 and it was too short.
These have a comfortable upper, but a strange sole. As though there is a ball of extra padding right under the knuckle of the big toe, where you do not need it. Why not put the extra padding in the arch? They look pretty frumpy on the foot in black, they might be much cuter in red. Back they goe.

These shoes are great. They do run small though - be aware...an entire size. They are very comfortable. The strap allows for tightening if the shoes stretch out. They are casual enough for everyday wear but also professional enough to wear to work in my clinic. I love them.
I love this shoe!For a Spanish shoe it fits nicely narrow but it must go back because the oblique cut of the toe doesn't give my 2nd toe enough room.If it had a round toe I could go down a size.
This is absolutely the cutest shoe ever. I purchased the gray/blue color and it goes with everything. I was a bit concerned about the ribbon-like tie, but it is nice and sturdy, plus - it gives me the option to tighten the heel strap (I have a very narrow heel) which is great. This shoe is comfortable... not quite as comfortable as their more padded styles, but still comfortable to wear shopping, out to dinner, etc. It looks great with jeans or a skirt and I can't wait to wear it. I feel quite certain it will turn heads, and you know how we women like that! Thanks, Zappos! You are the best!
Extremely comfortable and lightweight! Very trendy looking. The upper part of the sole is rattan, which is a bit weird if you aren't expecting it. I live in a wet climate and it remains to be seen if they will hold up, but so far so good!
I love these shoes. They are very comfortable, true to size. This is one of my new favorite shoe brand of shoes and lets me enjoy wearing heels again... all day!

El Naturalista is a name that expresses a different way of thinking and acting. Being a "Naturalista" implies a respect for a rich and deep philosophy that places its trust in life and, on principle, attributes all things to nature.
