User Reviews
I have developed issues with my feet as I've grown older. I've tried several brands of "comfort shoes" but Naots fit the best and are really comfortable. This shoe is beautiful and really comfortable. Naots are very well made from quality leathers; so I don't mind the price because they will last for years. My feet don't hurt and they are worth every penny! Naots will be the brand I buy from now on!!
So perfect for my achy feet and ankles. The cork/ memory foam inserts and rubbery soles absorb impact from hard pavement and firm support for my arches. I DID buy a size larger as suggested. They fit so perfectly then that I think the shoemaker got the shoe pattern sizes confused. I ordered the speckled beige. The color is interesting. When worn with khaki, they look khaki. When worn with soft gray, they appear suede gray. They appear darker with my dark gray jeans.When paired with light sage green, they appear silver. They even work well with cream slacks. These shoes can be worn dressed down or up. I feel like I'm wearing bedroom slippers when I have them on. I've worn my two other pairs of Naots for 15 years. When dividing this pair's price tag by 15...well, I'll definitely get my money's worth!
I have worn Naot shoes for years and love them no matter the cost. They have arch support and always fit perfectly. These, while looking so nice, seem a little tight, but not painfully so. Perhaps it is the fabric? At any rate, I am sure after wearing them a bit they, like other Naot shoes, will probably conform to my feet a bit more and become more comfortable.
Ordered the 40 (I’m an 8.5) in the speckled beige. Perfect fit, comfortable even without socks. They are a great neutral that really goes with everything and a great style that goes with almost everything. They really feel like going barefoot.
Very nice shoe, but it has developed what looks like a small defect in the leather from within. On the toe of one shoe a small crack or hole has appeared that seems to be the leather separating at the curve of the top of the toe. Pretty disappointing since the shoes are so very expensive.
Just ordered my second pair in the Speckled Nubuck. This style fits my foot perfectly: soft and just above my bunions, so no pressure against either bunion. Strap across top of foot is a comfortable fit too. Comfortable with bare feet or dress sock in same size Naot I have always worn. I wear a 6 1/2 M so order a Naot 37. Sole Provisions processed my order quickly and I received order in 3 days! (Strange that this pair developed a mushy, squeaking sound in the sole after a dozen wears??? Another pair of same shoe I have never has. Hope the sounds away like they do sometimes.)
Walked all over Havana. Finally a nice looking shoe that is kind to the feet!
They met my expectations but they were to big. I have worn # 38 Naots before and they fit great but these did not.
