Naturalizer womens Abby platform sandals - Dressy comfort with contour

Our review of the Naturalizer womens Abby finds these platform sandals best suited for someone who wants a dressy, statement heel without surrendering daytime comfort. The single biggest reason to buy is the shoe's Contour+ Comfort technology, which delivers a noticeably more forgiving fit across the foot than many dress sandals, so wearers can stand through dinner or a reception with less fatigue. The open toe strappy look and easy slingback give a refined silhouette while the 3 3/8 in heel and 3/4 in platform add height without an excessively steep pitch.

Key Features

• Strappy platform design: Creates a statement evening look while the 3/4 in platform softens the overall heel angle for easier standing.
• Contour+ Comfort technology: Shapes to the contours of the foot to reduce pressure points and provide a more comfortable fit for extended wear.
• Synthetic or metallic upper: Offers a polished, dress-ready finish with an open toe that pairs well with formal and semi-formal outfits.
• Easy slingback strap: Makes the sandals simple to slip on and off while helping keep the shoe secured during light walking.
• Conscious packaging: The shoe boxes are made with 80% recycled paper and soy-based ink, reflecting an effort to reduce environmental impact.

Who It's For

These sandals work well for someone attending events, dinners, or occasions where a refined heel is wanted but long periods of standing are likely; the Contour+ Comfort cushioning is the main attraction for this audience. They are especially appealing to shoppers who want a dressy platform in inclusive sizes and widths with a classic, elegant silhouette.

Those with very narrow feet or who need a highly secure strap fit should try them on first, as some customers reported the slingback strap can feel loose on narrower heels. People who require very rugged or ultra-stable heels for uneven surfaces may prefer a lower, chunkier heel instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comfortable for dress heels thanks to Contour+ Comfort support that eases pressure.
• Elegant, strappy look that photographs well and pairs with formal wear.
• Consciously packaged with recycled materials, a small sustainability plus.

Cons

• Some wearers report the slingback strap can slip on narrower heels, affecting perceived sturdiness.
• The 3 3/8 in heel may feel tall for those unused to platform heels despite the platform relief.
