Customer Reviews El Naturalista Yggdrasil N095

Love these shoes. Have them in red, green, and now black. Very comfortable and shock absorbing. Great for walking, but still look OK with skirt or not-too-dressy dress. I have the worst feet ever, and finding a pair of shoes to accommodate them is hard. These have good arch support, and an cushy insole that conforms to your foot, with metatarsal support. Just what I needed. People love them and ask me where I go them all the time. Cool shoe.

This is the shoe for someone on their feet all day. They are heavy, but really comfortable. Listened to other reviews and I ordered a size up. I generally wear a more sophisticated shoe, but I am tempted to keep these for those long days when I need happy feet. I hope the Velcro holds up.

I love these shoes. I have two other pairs of El Naturalista clogs which I also love and have worn for years. The clogs run a bit wide and I wear a 36 in those, but for these, I needed a 37 and they are perfect. If I could afford it, I'd have a pair in every color.

Love this shoe! It is very comfy right out of the box. Very cute and fun. Works great with no socks or thin or thick socks for winter. Looks great with dresses or pants. This is now my go-to shoe for work in the wintertime. Love the brand - very sustainable and ethical company, you know your money is supporting a responsible company.

Super comfy and I have been getting lots of compliments on them. The shoes are a bit heavy because the sole is so dense but they are well balanced.

This shoe is super cute! The leather is very nice. I unfortunately must return them; I typically wear a 10W and I bought these in a 10, and they are tight around the top of my foot. If you wear a wide, these might not work for you.

I loved almost everything about this shoe. Loved the style, and it was the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn - until, and buyer beware, the velcro gave out within a few months. For a shoe in this price category, that is unacceptable.

I am very glad that I read through all of the reviews and ordered my regular size as well as the next size up (since each size and color were the last ones in stock). Turns out, that although I am a medium 10 in Keens and a medium 41 in Dansko clogs, in this particular shoe, I was a medium 42! So, yes indeed, I had to get these shoes one full size larger than I typically wear, so I thank each of the previous reviewers for sharing that important ordering tip. The Lila color is a very beautiful deep cool plum (a new type of neutral), and the shoe, because of its thick sturdy rubber sole, is heavier than my flexible Danskos, but the weight is more like a pair of Doc Martens. In fact, these are pretty sumptuous in terms of overall comfort, and I am on my feet quite a bit. I've never been a big fan of Mary-Jane styled shoes, and I've never owned any the color of purple, but I am so glad to discover El Naturalista! Original, well-made, Earth and human-kind, they're simply great fun for the feet. :)

These shoes are fantastic. They are very comfortable, require little breaking in, and are super cute. I receive compliments whenever I wear them. I did have to exchange these shoes for a larger size (they run a little small), but Zappos handled my exchange with speed and grace. I continue to be impressed with the customer service I experience at Zappos.

My Dansko clogs had finally seen better days after, oh, about seven years of wear, and I decided it was time to invest in a new shoe. I liked the look and color of the El Naturalista shoe and the fact that it was different than the Dansko -- but looked equally comfortable -- for a change. Now, I am a nearly 6-foot tall woman, and I don't ever feel the need to suggest my large size nine feet are anything other than what they are, and this shoe (ordered in the size nine equivalent) was absolutely off by an entire size. Once I ordered up, the shoe fit well. I do love the look and the red color. They are comfortable and supportive, but I kind of miss the ease of the Dansko slip on clog. I guess a seven year habit is hard to break!

I love this shoe. It is very comfortable and so cute. The straps can be loosened or tightened to make it fit just the way you want.

These shoes are comfy and funky. I am on my feet for hours at a time. They look great with long skirts or jeans...love 'em!

I am a sucker for a sweet pair of Mary Janes! El Naturalista's are like walking on a cloud. This is my third pair, thank goodness they finally make purple! Zappos makes it easy and fun!

These are very cute shoes. The the quality seems great. However, the sizing is not generous. My size did not even begin to fit. Try to order up a size, if possible. I cannot really give them less than five stars - I wish there was a "no star" selection as I do not want to vote these shoes up or down. i just want to give feedback for other buyers.

Very comfortable shoe-runs small. Order one size up. Heavy, due to sole. Great support (I have flat feet). I bought the Lila color. A very dark wine - more like brown. Very nice, soft leather.

I absolutely love this pair of shoes. They are so comfortable and take no time to break in. I just ordered another pair in black! Well worth the purchase!

I love the look of these shoes. I ordered the Tibet which is a very pretty deep shade of red. At first I wasn't sure about the comfort of this shoe. I usually wear Danskos. But after wearing them around a bit they seemed to soften and break in and are now really comfortable. They have the excellent foot support that I need.

Very comfortable. Lots of compliments on them. They go with everything! Love it!

I love these shoes. These are the third pair of El Natualistas that I own and I love them all. Well made, and they fit my feet well. I get complements on them all the time. And I can wear them all day.

I love this shoe! Very comfortable. I have it in 5 colors!

I have had these shoes for two years and they are the best. So comfortable. I wear them at least twice a week and they are not showing any signs of wear. I get more compliments on them. These are the only shoes from El Naturalista that fit me to a "T". Well worth the money.

I love El Naturalista's shoes. However, this style is a whole size smaller than marked which means a size 42 is a U.S. size 10 not an 11. I wish this company would extend their size range because the shoes are so comfortable and cool looking.

I like how these shoes look and generally find them to be comfortable. However, they are definitely heavy and the leather is a little unyielding. I have small and bony feet, and these shoes can feel tiring. I'm hoping that they will break in some more, though.

These shoes are super cute and perfect for casual wear. I was hoping that with their contoured footbed -- which no doubt is good part of the cost of the shoe -- they'd have enough support for my terrible arches. Alas, they do not. So I ended up taking the footbed out and popping in my orthotics, and that works. Bottom line, if you're interested in this issue: there is some arch in this shoe but the support is nowhere near what you get in a Dansko/Sanita or a Chaco. (On the other hand, these are better looking!)

Bought a pair of N095 and N096 hoping still that they are stretching and breaking in. The footbed is very nice and my soles don't hurt at the end of a day of teaching high school; however, the top of my foot over the high bonier part hurts on the inner part of the V. Both styles hit me the same way. I have virtually no arches from years of ballet so adjusting the velcro doesn't help. They are a bit heavy with the recycled sole, but I applaud the recycling effort. The leather is softening up and they are sensitive to scuffs but nothing major. Not certain I would buy another pair with the same vamp in the design.
