My Sarah Flint Natalie Flats Review

Updated on Fashion

Everyone needs a few pairs of classic, comfortable shoes in their closet. For me, one of those shoes is my Sarah Flint Natalie Flats. These pointed-toe flats are handcrafted in Italy with expert attention to detail. I’ve been wearing them regularly for several years and have loved their versatility. So here is my review of the Natalie flats…

Disclosure: As a member of Sarah Flint’s Brand Ambassador Program, I was given these shoes to review (with no obligation to create this post). Some of the links in this post are commissionable.

Natalie Flats Review: Size And Style

I typically wear a size 7 shoe, but since my feet lean towards being wide, I tried the 7.5 shoes first. They ended up being too long so I exchanged them for the 7 which were a perfect fit. There’s a helpful size guide (especially if you’re not used to It/EU sizing) on the Sarah Flint website.

I didn’t need any time to “break in” these shoes. They were comfortable right out of the box. If yours feel snug when you first wear them, just know that they will stretch a little in the width (but not the length).

The curved stitching detail and elegant asymmetrical bow make these shoes unique. The extra padding and rubber forepart made them comfortable and slip-resistant. The cut reveals just enough toe cleavage! I needed some basic black flats, but you’ll also find the Natalie flats in suede, lamé, jacquard, and other leather colors.

How To Style The Natalie Flats

Casual Outfit

One of the reasons I love these shoes is that they’re very versatile. They add polish and elegance to my basic jeans and blouse outfit. (For cooler weather, add a jacket or sweater but nothing too bulky).

Work Outfit

I also wore the Natalie flats to the office, and at holiday parties where I knew I’d be on my feet a lot. They were so comfortable that I often forgot that I was wearing them until someone complimented them!

Going Out

I also love the Natalie flats for dinners and other events as they pair perfectly with dresses.

    I have 1 pair of SF shoes in a sandals. These are lovely and I know they’d be comfortable! Love the bow detail too. Looks great styled especially with the dress!

      Hi Jess, They really are comfy – I didn’t need any time to break them in as I have with other dress shoes. Looking forward to seeing how you style your sandals. xo Nipa

    I love my Natalie flats, too, Nipa! I did have to break mine in and go up a full size. Perhaps because I have high arches? But they really are incredibly comfortable to wear – absolutely no sore feet, even after walking around in them all day.

    Definitely a top choice to pack on a trip!

      Hi Kristy, I asked a few friends whether they sized up and heard everything from no to 1/2 size to full size! I guess it depends on the shape of your feet. Thankfully, they were able to do an exchange quickly as I really wanted to wear these to an event that as coming up. xo Nipa
