Naturalizer womens Abby Platform Slingback Sandal - Comfort Dress Heel

Our review of the Naturalizer womens Abby finds it best for someone who wants a dress sandal that balances a statement high heel with everyday comfort. The single biggest reason to buy is the shoe's Contour+ Comfort technology paired with a 3/4 in platform that makes the 3 3/8 in heel feel markedly more manageable for longer wear. Worn to dinners or events, the Abby reads as a polished, feminine option that delivers on style while prioritizing fit and cushioning.

Key Features

• Strappy platform design: The open-toe, strappy upper creates a dressy, elevated look that works well with eveningwear and dresses.
• Contour+ Comfort technology: Built-in cushioning and a form-contoured footbed provide a more comfortable fit for all-day or evening wear.
• Platform and heel: A 3/4 in platform with a 3 3/8 in heel reduces perceived pitch and helps with balance on taller heels.
• Slingback fit options: The non-adjustable slingback strap offers simple slip-on convenience and comes in medium and wide widths for a better fit range.
• Conscious packaging: The shoe box is made from 80% recycled paper with soy-based ink, reflecting reduced packaging impact.

Who It's For

The Abby is aimed at women who need a dress sandal that looks formal but remains wearable across an evening or a long day of events; it suits those who prioritize cushioning and a contoured fit without sacrificing a higher heel silhouette. The inclusion of medium and wide widths makes it a good pick for anyone needing a bit more room through the foot.

Those with very narrow feet or who require a fully adjustable slingback may want to look elsewhere, as the strap is non-adjustable and a few customers reported the strap feeling loose on narrower feet. If you need extreme stability or a block heel for constant walking, the dressy platform heel here may not be ideal.
