I'll start by saying that I have had extraordinarily bad luck in the high heels arena.  I've had to donate the last several pairs of heels (not these) because they were fine in the store, but when put to the test of walking a couple blocks to run an errand, my feet were literally bleeding when I got back and it was too late to return them.  Okay, so this leads me to Naturalizers...  First, Naturalizer carries a good selection of "off" sizes, and I have an "off" size.  Second, this pair (Clava, black) is leather, so I know they'll break in - but pay close attention when ordering because not every pair is leather (those labeled only "patent" or "shiny" are synthetic).  I received this mid-last week, tried them on, and the fit is darn near perfect.  The vamp (part that goes across the top of the foot) needed a little stretching, but I found the size and the width to be perfect.  They're not too pointy, but very classic.  They're not platforms like the Naturalizer Lennox, and I prefer the sleeker look of the Clava.  Finally, the heel isn't pointy like a stiletto, nor chunky - it really is just right.

I've read some reviews on other sites and it appears that there may be some inconsistencies in sizing not only within the Clava line but also with other Naturalizers.  This is the only drawback of ordering online vs. purchasing in store.  A good return/exchange policy should remedy that, however.

I haven't tested these out & about yet, but I've worn them for hours inside (on carpet & hardwood) and so far, so good.  It's nice to finally have some heels that don't make me want to dive headfirst into a ditch.

**Update: I also got these in the brown snake print... these are NOT leather, and although the same size as my first pair, I found them to be uncomfortable (squeezy) shortly after I tried them on, so they're going back.  I'd stick with leather for these.
