Customer Reviews El Naturalista Stella ND54

I love these shoes. They are fashionable, comfortable, and easy-on, easy-off. I hate shoes with Velcro since I have to wear hose to work, and the Velcro just shreds them. But these shoes have the little elastic which allows you to put-on/take-off without undoing the buckle and makes for an easy effort (I am in my 60s). I think they are elegant-looking, with the pointed toe, and the way they are cut on top makes them completely comfortable. I have a little-bit-more-than medium width foot and even though this looks like a narrow shoe, they fit perfectly. There is not a huge arch support, but once I get them on, they feel so good - there is a bit of a slope (not totally flat like Aerosoles) so that little bit must be enough for my feet. They might not be right for everyone, but El Naturalista continues to keep me one happy lady.

Part of traveling really light is to take only one pair of shoes... and these are it for me. Dress them up! Dress them down! Comfortable enough for walking / sight seeing all day and into the night. And I get compliments on them... even while in Paris, France! True story!

These shoes are adorable and this is a wonderful brand, these were the shoes I had been looking for for years so I was completely bummed that the toe box is not tall enough for the top of my foot causing pain immediately when walking. I have high big toe bones. I am normally a 9.5 and ordered the 41. I own boots by this brand, the leather will stretch to your feet after a few wears. These shoes are narrow through the inner area, the side of my foot rubbed as well as my heel against the back. Loved the buckle/rubber band look and function. I just think these were made for narrow feet. I also order a size 42 but they were then too long. I ultimately opted for Wakataua N412 and Stella N5201, both fit in size 41 just fine and are beautiful shoes.

I love these shoes. They are the perfect mix for me of comfy,but also cute and can be dressed up. I normally wear a 7.5 medium width, but I tend to run a little on the narrow side. These fit me perfectly, so keep that in mind if your width runs wider. Only reason I took one star off, is they’re a little noisy to walk in, but just so darn cute, I don’t mind a little squeak!

Cute and comfy. There is no true arch support, but they are cushy in the insoles. I look for that because I walk a lot at work, so I need some of my shoes to be extra comfy for days when my feet are tired. These will work. They do run small. Love the colors!

Just a little tight but hoping the leather stretches to perfection.

This is a very cute shoe but unfortunately the toe box hits on my bunion so I need to return these.

When traveling, I like to take only one pair of shoes... the ones on my feet! Really lightens the load! These shoes ARE those shoes! Perfect when it comes to comfort, and being on your feet walking all day. They handle uneven terrain beautifully, such as cobblestone streets. And best of all, they go with everything from a pair of shorts to a dress!

I love love these shoes! I have a narrow foot and a really narrow ankle. They are light, fashionable, extremely comfortable, and so cute. I wish I could get them in every color.

Shoes are fashionable and comfortable - I plan on walking in Europe with them - will see if arch support is enough when I walk a long time - I have high arches and always looking for non ugly shoes that have arch support and these fit the bill

At first I ordered a size up because of other reviews but ended up exchanging them for my regular size. These shoes are really cute. A little squeaky when the heel slips but I’m hoping after they break in I’ll love them even more.

I love this shoe, it is cute, it is well made and it is comfortable IF you have a narrow foot. I hate having to send this back but the discomfort is just too great.

I really liked these shoes and wanted to keep them but had to return. Unfortunately, one shoe was shorter than the other. The shoes are comfortable and not at all stiff to walk in.

Felt good on my feet out of the box. Really cute styling that can be dressed up or down.

This is an expensive shoe, but I love it! Something feminine and somewhat dressy for summer wear - I love the natural feel of the materials and the mission of El Naturalista. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and will probably be checking out other styles from this brand.

I have these shoes in multiple colors and I wear them to work almost every day. They are cute and comfy even though I stand a lot. Probably could use a bit more arch support but the cork base makes them cushioned and helps take the pressure off. I also get compliments on how they look constantly! Would definitely recommend.

Comfortable shoes right out of the box!

These shoes are elegant without being fancy and do wonders for transforming even chunky feet into prettiness. Unhappily, the back heel cup edge hits exactly on a bone on the interior of my foot just forward of my heel that I didn't even know was there; I couldn't even wear them down the hall without them cutting into my skin. I would take a chance on these shoes, if I were you, because if they fit you're in the money!

Love these shoes, but they run short-had to return

These are super cute, but it was wishful thinking that a 38 would fit. I wear 8 1/2 but they didn't have any cute colors in 39. Hurt just trying on. Sad.

I really like the shoes but it appeared they were previously worn. They were scoffed in several places and they were not packaged well in the box. I'm returning them. The return process did not allow me to indicate they were worn. I choose to return them with the indication they were defective.

I love these shoes! I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the shoes, and the leather is strong and durable. The soles are sturdy but super flexible. Only downside is a little bit of blister-inducing slipping on the heel the first time I wore them, but after they were broken in they are perfect.

I love these shoes. First, I should mention that I was so caught up shopping that I thought these were olive green and khaki. They are black, just like the description stated. Anyway, I had to go up a 1/2 size. They are very comfortable and work with everything. I have plantars fasciitis and find that I can wear these. Just to be clear, nothing relieves my pain completely. However these shoes don't cause any additional pain. I'm going to be buying more of this brand.
