When it comes to shoes, do you choose fashion over function or function over fashion? What about a shoe brand that doesn’t make you choose?
Naturalizer is the best of both worlds.
I’ve been in love with the brand ever since I slipped on my first pair of Naturalizer high heels. After wearing them around for a day, I was delighted to be able to still feel my feet! My first pair may be long gone, but I have other pairs now, all of which are BOTH fashionable and functional!

Recently I got the chance to try out the stylish Naturlizer Lulianna Wedges from the Spring 2012 line… and they are adding a little “spring” to my step!
I was completely in love after viewing the photos of these wedges online. But I must say, when I got them in person, they were even more remarkable than the photos!
I couldn’t take my eyes off these beauties. The multi colored floral design was stunning! A splash of rich, bright, outstanding colors. The online photos don’t do them justice! They are much more vibrant in real life! After starring at them for a moment, I couldn’t wait one more second to try them on!
I ordered the shoes in 7.5M and they were a perfect fit. (Naturalizer shoes are available in a variety of hard-to-find sizes (4.5 – 12) and options for narrow, medium and wide widths.) I should mention I am between a size 7.5-8. I rounded down when ordering, and I recommend if you are between sizes, that you do too. I say this because my toes did slide forward a bit. Also, you want the back strap to be tight on your ankle, and not slip down.
Since I have narrow toes, my feet tend to slip forward – no matter what the shoe. This is why I plan to insert those round grip things that don’t allow your feet slip. Anyway, this didn’t affect the fact that these shoes were easy to slip on and off. Equally, they felt secure with the elastic stretch band in the back, forming to my feet.
Lulianna Sandals Features:
- Fabric upper in a dress wedge sandal style with a round, open toe
- Pleated details at the vamp
- Heel sling strap with an elastic gored panel
- Smooth lining, cushioning insole features N5 Comfort System
- Non slip outsole
- 1 inch espadrille platform midsole, 2 1/2 inch cork-like wedge heel
- Total heel height 3 1/2 inches
Overall, I cannot get enough of these shoes.
– THE STYLE – I absolutely love the look. The design is both feminine and flirty. The pleated fabric sweeps across the front, luxurious and elegant. The fabric is smooth to the touch, and incredibly sexy. The details of the wrap around style, cork heel and braided twine edging… the uniqueness is endless.
-THE COMFORT – I cannot explain to you in pictures, you’ll just have to trust me. The comfortable cushioned heel makes these shoes incredibly walkable. With the N5 Comfort System – these shoes have additional comfort, flexibility, lightness, breathability, and balance. They are easy to walk around in, and the sling back does not press into my skin or pull.
These shoes are ideal for work, a day out and about, or a night out in style! They go great with my spring dresses or skinny jeans with a bright colored top! These shoes make me so excited for summer!
