In 1927, Naturalizer had the revolutionary idea of creating stylish and comfortable shoes made just for women.
The brand became known as “the shoe with the beautiful fit.”
For more than 80 years, Naturalizer has understood how truly comfortable shoes can help women move energetically through their day and live life to the fullest. Naturalizer remains committed to designing beautiful shoes that feel as good at the end of the day as they do at the beginning.
Because of this commitment, Naturalizer shoes feature the exclusive N5 comfort system—five essential features that are proven to provide all day comfort: extra cushioning, breathable linings, balance with every step, flexible soles and lightweight material.
Naturalizer is still one of the few brands in the marketplace that women can turn to for hard-to-find sizes and widths, and wide shaft boots, because we believe that shoes can only be comfortable when they are a perfect fit.
Naturalizer shoes are designed with the best of each season’s trend-right looks, details and materials that women will love for social, work, play and every day. Today, Naturalizer is inspiring women to live their lives and love their shoes in 60 countries around the world.

I purchased a pair of naturalizer shoes for work this was app 3 years ago now.honestly one of the most comfywork shoes you will find and great price iI purchased mine from eday for app $99 this was money well spent would recommend naturalized shoes to my family and friends .
Most comfortable high heeled shoe I have ever worn
Fantastic shoes! I reviewed the Kiril. They are really comfortable and easy to wear . I don't wear high heels usually but these are really amazing and look great. They are high quality and I highly recommend them. I will definitely buy this brand again. Thanks Moms for allowing me to be a reviewer.
When I first put on my (tracer - off white) naturalizer shoes, it was like walking on marshmallows. I'm a mother of two preschoolers and also 8 months pregnant, so there's no time for rest. Running around in these shoes is a great comfort. When i first put them on, they were so comfortable and the workmanship of the shoe is so delicately crafted.
I love them! I've recommended them to my family that are on their feet all day and would not hesitate in buying another pair in the future. They match 95% of my wardrobe.
They are beyond comfortable! Naturalizer, you've outdone yourself!! Thank you
Received my black Tracer Naturalizer shoes at the end of last week and am in love! So unbelievably comfortable. I wore them out with my jeans on the weekend and have now been wearing them for work with both pants and skirts work attire. I don't want to go back to wearing my other shoes so I guess I am going to have to look at making further purchases from the Naturalizer collection! I have a few work collegues that are "shoe-a-holics" and they have all commented on how fashionable and comfy my shoes look and I have been only too happy to tell them all about them and show them some of the other Naturalizer shoes that are available. Thank you so much to Naturalizer and the MoM Team.
I was so lucky to be picked for the review and receive a brand spanking new pair of Kiril shoes on my doorstep - yahoo!! Ok, I will be honest.....I always thought Naturalizers were a bit daggy and probably would not have looked at them for shoe options in the past but I am officially converted!! These are the MOST comfortable heeled shoes I have had in as long as I can remember. SInce trading in my work outfits for playground attire I don't wear heels that often and when I do I walk like Dame Edna because my feet just aren't used to them anymore BUT I could run a marathon in these heels. I wore them all walking around all day and did not get one ache or pain in my foot - amazing! The color scheme is fab as well - goes with brown or black. Overall I would rate this shoe 5/5!!
From the moment I openned the box and smelt the leather I was in awe. I got my 3rd selection choice and must admit I was a little updet BUT when I put the shoes on OMG they are so comfortable and I really really like the style. It is something that I wouldn't normally pick for myself YET they look stylish and feel really really comfortable. I hate buying shoes as they always hurt a while until I have "broken" them in but these are just so comfortable and easy from the start. I LOVE THEM and have been recommending them to all my friends. I am definitely going to buy more from Naturalizer. Thank you!!
I love my pair they are so comfortable, i have tried quite a few different pair of shoes, but they would rub, make my feet ache, give me blisters ect, but after wearing these they are much better don't make your feet ache, i wear mine most days i would recommend
I purchased a pair of these and they are so comfortable that I have wore them several times a week for the past 2 years, they are just that comfortable.
If you want great lasting shoes these are the brand to look into - plus I haven't had any issues with "foot odour" - something I cant say of most of my other shoes! They are great! 2 years on and I can still wear them with confidence

I purchased two pairs of Naturalizer sandals this summer and find them very comfortable right from the very start. I have "planter fasciitis" and was told by the podiatrist to wear a shoe with a slight heel. They sure are a comfortable shoe and would recommend this brand to any one that has a foot problem.
I have several pairs of Naturalizers and as soon as you try them on, they are comfy. No pinching, blisters or discomfort. I must add, they are not cheap, so I truly expect them to be a little better made. Mine don't seem to last as long as Sandler shoes.
The comfort outweighs the shoes not lasting as long for me, so I keep buying them. Half sizes would be great, but I can get away with going to the next full size. Give them a go, I am sure your feet will go ahhhhh :)
I love Naturalizer shoes. They are so comfortable. Most shoes, even comfy joggers and ballet flats, end up hurting my feet after a few hours but I have never had any problems with the Naturalizer shoes, even when wearing them all day. I wouldn't say that all of them are stylish but there a definitely a few pairs that are quite nice. They are a great addition to the wardrobe.
I have a lumbar disc problem so have difficulty in getting a shoe that looks good for work, but is comfortable to walk in and not too high. Thankfully Naturalizers tick all the boxes. They are also well made, so while (at times) I do have an issue with the cost initially, they are great value because they wear well and last.
I love naturalizer shoes in general. Its comfortable and it goes well with all of my clothes. It is also light weight which is easy to wear and good for long walks where ever. Its an excellent shoe that does not just think about the fashionability and how it looks but it thinks about the comfort and the foot of the person wearing it. Nice colours as well as it looks really good perfect for anything really. Cant complain about anything.
Comfortable shoes and stylish! And love that they provide bigger sizes as I'm a size 12 women's and they are so hard to find. However, I paid a lot of money for them and they only lasted about 12 months as the leather down the side ripped. I know 12 months is a long time, but when you pay $150 for a pair of shoes you expect them to last a little longer. Overall I was happy, they were comfortable and stylish and I probably would try them again but obviously in a different style of shoe.
I do not own a pair but did steal my sisters to wear. They were a pair of flats, stylish enough for everyday wear or dinner if you don't want to wear heels. I was 8 months pregnant so I needed flats. They were comfortable and I will be buying my own pair.
I really like this brand. I A bought a pair for work a few years ago and I am still wearing it. it’s very comfy and the style is always classic that it won’t be out of fashion. It is very endurable and lasts for a long time ! I highly recommend this brand to the other mums!
I wasn't aware I bought a pair till I looked 10 weeks later on the bottom of the shoe. There it was 'Naturalizer'. I have had so many comments to the point where I don't want to wear them as much in case they wear out, but I cannot see it happening. They are stylish, comfortable and well worth what I paid for them.

I bought a pair of flat ballet syle Upton Tan/pink Naturalizer shoes and found them to be extremly comfortable.Upton Tan/pink Naturalizer shoes are made of leather which allows my feet to swell without becoming painful as the leather adjusts to the size of my feet when swollen and when not swollen.Upton Tan/pink Naturalizer shoes sole had a firm grip so I wasn't afraid of falling.I found them value for money because of the comfort and stability of the shoe.I love the 2 toned colour of the shoe and I am able to wear this shoe with all of my outfits.I found the Tan/pink Naturalizer shoes to be sylish and fashionable and I would recommend the Upton Tan/pink Naturalizer shoe and I intend to buy a second pair in White/navy because they are so versitle and comfortable I love these shoes

‘Trust Your Intuition’: How To Advocate For Your Child In Hospital
Mother’s instinct is a funny thing. At home, we trust it without question. But put us in a hospital setting with an unwell child, surrounded by doctors, nurses and monitors, and suddenly we start doubting ourselves.
What if I’m overreacting? What if I’ve got it wrong?
So we stay quiet, even when we know something just isn’t right with our child. I’ve been there myself – when my usually ‘tough’ son was doubled over with stomach pain. I was told in the emergency department that it probably wasn’t his appendix. But I knew he wouldn’t have begged me to take him to hospital unless it was serious. Because I know him better than anyone. Turns out, it was appendicitis.
It’s a really common place for parents to land. You’re grateful for the care your child is getting, but at the same time, you feel this huge responsibility to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.
Here’s the thing though: that instinct you’re feeling? It matters more than you might think.
Why your gut feeling matters more than you realise
According to Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital, Leticia Jackson, parents bring something to the hospital that no test or machine ever could.
“Parents often say they ‘just know’ when something isn’t quite right with their child, and in a hospital, that gut feeling is incredibly valuable,” she explains.
Leticia Jackson, Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital
While medical teams rely on observations, tests and equipment, parents know the little details. The way your child usually smiles. How they react when they’re tired. What’s normal for them.
So when something feels “off”, even if everything looks okay on paper, it can actually be an early warning sign.
“When parents trust those instincts and speak up, this creates a powerful partnership that can sometimes catch a problem before it becomes an emergency,” Leticia says.
Worried about speaking up? You’re not alone
A lot of parents hesitate about advocating for their child.
You don’t want to come across as difficult. You don’t want to question the people caring for your child. And sometimes, you just don’t feel confident enough to push the issue.
Leticia gets it.
“It is completely understandable for parents to feel hesitant,” she says. “No one wants to be seen as difficult or to second-guess the hardworking people caring for their child.”
But here’s a helpful way to look at it: you’re not challenging the medical team, you’re helping them.
Parents are the constant. Staff change shifts, care for multiple patients, and rely on snapshots of information. You’re there the whole time, noticing the subtle changes.
“Our medical team doesn’t view a concerned parent as overreactive, but as a partner,” Leticia explains. “Your voice matters.”
Remember, we know our children better than anyone.
What to do if you’re worried: the Raise It process
If you’re in a NSW public hospital or health service and you’re worried about you or your child’s condition getting worse, there is a clear process you can follow called Raise It.
Raise It is designed to help patients, carers and family members get help fast if they’re worried about a change in their loved one’s condition.
Here’s how it works:
Talk: Start by speaking to a nurse, midwife, doctor or health worker about your concerns.
Ask: Still worried? Ask to speak to the nurse or midwife in charge and request a Clinical Review.
Call: If you’re still concerned, you can escalate further using the Raise It process to get urgent attention from a senior health worker.
You don’t need medical knowledge. You don’t need to be certain. If you feel something isn’t right, or your child is getting worse, Raise It. You just need to speak up.
What should you actually look out for?
Sometimes it’s not one big, obvious sign. It can be small, subtle changes that just don’t sit right.
Things like:
Changes in breathing (fast, laboured or noisy)
Skin looking pale, mottled, or developing unusual rashes
Your child being unusually drowsy, floppy, or hard to wake
Confusion or behaviour that’s out of character
Pain that isn’t improving with treatment
Or simply that feeling that your child is getting worse
And sometimes, it’s just that gut feeling you can’t explain.
That’s enough.
“You are helping us, not bothering us”
If there’s one message Leticia wants parents to take away, it’s that you aren’t bothering the medical team, you’re helping them.
“In my years as a Nurse Unit Manager, I can say with absolute certainty that many critical changes in a child’s condition have been identified first by a parent. While our clinical staff are highly skilled at performing regular observations and interpreting data, parents are the only constant presence who truly know their child’s baseline behaviour, personality, and what is normal for them.
“I have seen numerous instances where a parent’s insistence that their child is “just not themselves” – despite vital signs appearing relatively stable – has prompted a deeper clinical review that uncovered everything from early signs of sepsis to a life-threatening respiratory crisis.”
The Raise It process exists because healthcare teams know how important parents are in keeping children safe.
“Speaking up doesn’t mean you don’t trust the team,” she says. “It means you’re partnering with us to make sure nothing gets missed.”
And if you’re still worried about being judged?
“Whether your concern turns out to be something or nothing, your instinct to raise it is always valid.”
I have learned many times to always listen to your gut and speak up when you don’t think something is right. This article was a great read, our kids are our world and if we don’t feel they are getting the right help, and we feel it, we need to speak up.
You should never second guess yourself when it comes to yours or your childs health- or anyones for that matter. Go with your thoughts. It is natural to want to protect a loved one especially when it comes to health situations, and the feeling you get when you think you didnt do enough to advocate or fight for them…it is not a kind or nice way to feel. Many people have ended up being heartbroken and picking up pieces for years because of feeling they didnt do enough.
A very good and informative article. I have read so many stories about mums just knowing when things are not right and demanding second and third opinions until they got the right answer. Sometimes mums just know. It is our job as care takers of our families. Listen to your gut!
Years ago, I spoke up for my 14-year-old daughter, but my concerns weren’t fully listened to. I’ve always wished I had pushed harder. She was sent home without much testing, and two days later, she passed away.
So, if you ever have concerns—no matter how minor—please speak up and keep advocating. Trust your instincts; they are there for a reason.
This is so important for parents to know how to raise it further if they don’t think their child is receiving the medical support they need! I know this article refers to the NSW system but other systems have similar procedures just with different names. I know in QLD it’s called Ryan’s Rule.
It’s so important to follow your gut instincts and express your concerns indeed. I have never hesitated to advocate for my children in various situations and I don’t care what other people think about it. Not all doctors and medical staff appreciate it when you question them, I’ve experienced that it may result in angry indignant responses.
How true this is! While nurses and doctors are the medical professionals doing their job on the daily, we know our children better than anyone and what is ‘normal’ for them. I would always speak up if I had noticed any changes in my child’s health and encourage other parents to do so too. No question is silly!
This really is such an important issue and a good topic to discuss with people, I am often surprised that people are worried about being judged. This is not something I care about; the priority is for the care and health of everyone is my family. Parents know their children and need to work with health professionals for the best outcomes for their children.
This is such an important issue to raise, and no one should ever feel ashamed, nervous or that they are being OTT for advocating for their kids, themselves or loves ones in hospital. In QLD we have Ryan’s Rule. A three step process where your concern will be escalated if they believe the patients condition isn’t improving or is worsening.
I have never been afraid to advocate for my children and partner and extended family and also friends. It is so important to listen and to trust intuition. When people have not listened, I have persevered and kept on with insisting on care and making sure they truly listened and took action.
