NaturalizerWomen's Bristol Heeled Sandal

I typically wear a size 8 (I will be returning), but I did need to order an 8 Wide and it fit great. I would say if you are between sizes, it may be best to size up. The shoe is lovely & classy, and I was surprised that is was comfortable. I usually wear only Aetrex shoes for the arch support - I have lots of foot issues due to flat feet. I was pleased with these shoes and it is wonderful to have a dressy option that feels good. The chunky heel looks elegant and makes my foot very stable in the shoe. I do think they are a bit pricey and I have only worn once (a long event), but if they hold up, I'm ok with the price.

These heels are great. I've had a hard time finding a shoe of this style to fit that doesn't either pinch me across my toes or feel like I'm walking on a brick from lack of cushioning. The wide width fit me perfectly, yet somehow my daughter who doesn't need a wide width but is otherwise the same shoe size as me can also wear these without issue. We both find these to be very comfortable considering we're not routine heel wearers and the neutral shade goes with everything. I bought these for myself for a recent vacation and ended up having to share them with my teen more than I was anticipating! I take that as a sign that they're also somewhat stylish and not "old lady" at all!

SO comfy and SO cute. The heel height is perfect, and after debating whether to keep or return them because I only needed them for a single event, I decided to keep them because they were so comfy and versatile.

Here's my stats. I'm a 58 yr old mom . 5'6. I weigh about 225 and wear a size 16. My shoe size 99% of the time is 10.5 wide. This sandal doesn't come in 10.5 wide so I chose 10 wide. Length wise it was fine. I feel like its not very wide though. Like I said, I always wear a wide but my feet aren't super wide. These sandals make my feet feel super wide. My little toe looks squished but it's kind of not because my little toe just goes in like that. Probably from so many years of wearing sky high heels in my previous life . My feet don't feel squished and they don't hurt at all. These shoes are actually quite comfortable to walk in. I wish they had a slight bit of platform in front but it's still super comfortable and sturdy. Gone are my days of buying heels that are super thin. I now go for the chunky block heel. Much more secure. My ankles are somewhat thick so the strap needs to be buckled on the very first hole. I might pierce another hole so little less tight. Overall these are comfortable and I will keep them although they aren't perfect but for the price (I paid $52 I think) i will keep them.

It has got everything I wished for: stylish, elegant, comfortable and versatile. I am not a big fan of heels so I was uncertain about the height of the shoes. But it is perfect for someone who want something classy. Part of the reason is that Naturalizer has made it so comfortable that you don’t feel you are wearing a pair of heeled sandals.

I ordered the Naturalizer Women Bristol Heeled Sandal in size 8M two months ago. I wanted to wear them for a while before writing this review to provide potential buyers with detailed feedback. Normally, I prefer trying on shoes in person due to inconsistencies in sizing across brand styles. I also dislike the hassle of returns. However, my long-standing trust in Naturalizer made me confident enough to take the chance with an online purchase, especially since local options are limited and prices online are more competitive.I bought these sandals seeking comfort, as I’ve decided to start wearing lower heels to work. The design seemed perfect for this purpose. Initially, I was pleased with the look and comfort they provided. The sandals offered great all-day comfort and met my aesthetic expectations. However, after a number of wears, I noticed that my foot tends to slide forward, causing my toes to hang off the edge. I have to constantly adjust them to avoid an awkward appearance.Upon further inspection, I discovered that I received a size 8.5M instead of the size 8M I ordered. Although I had read a review indicating that this sandal might run small, I chose size 8M based on my previous experience with Naturalizer's typically consistent sizing. The heel-to-toe length seemed fine initially, so I didn’t worry at first. I’ve typically purchased size 8M, so this discrepancy makes it difficult for me to determine if this style is true to size.Despite this issue, the quality of the sandals is good, and I purchased them at a good price, which I found excellent for a quality brand. I’m disappointed that I may soon need to stop wearing these shoes due to the toe thrusting issue. This experience won’t deter me from buying Naturalizer shoes in the future, but it will prompt me to carefully research sizing and styles. Having trusted this brand for over 30 years without issue, I plan to explore sandal styles that might offer a flatter heel or additional support to prevent this problem.

I really love this shoe. This brand does a great job where I can actually feel the arch support.

High quality and the color accurate to the photos! The size was spot on (size 8) and the straps were easy to adjust. The heel is a great size to make it more formal, but they are still very comfortable to walk in.
