User Reviews
I’ve worn naot sandals for many years now. I just want a slip in sandal and it was a good choice., very comfortable.I’ve ordered a size 40, the width and length are perfect.I’ll keep ordering naots, they do not disappoint.
I have purchased these sandals from same manufacturer for 11+ years. The last pair lasted about 3 years, so I am just rebuying a pair now. Something is different in the way the fabric is sewn or attached. The material rolls up and wrinkles now. Older pair had some creases but they developed over time, not immediate and one shoe has wrinkled fabric worse than the other. One shoe seems sewn too tight while the other is relaxed. I am returning them.
These shoes are the best! They have GREAT arch support and are so so cute! I have a pair in black and searched everywhere to find the natural color. I'm so glad I found them! I ordered them and they arrived in just a few days!!!
I have 3 pairs of Naots and have worn the brand for 7 years. I have another pair of the Alana sandal in a 41 black. This pair of Beige size 41 is NOTHING like the ones I have. Poorly made..the fabric is bunchy and thick and doesn't lay well . The shoes are not cut in a generous 41 as are the other pairs I have purchased. The outer sole is not made the same either and the shoes are not padded well or comfortable to walk in. The sole is NOT flexible as are my other shoes. A terrible disappointment as I am leaving on vacation and planned to take these with me. I am glad there is free return shipping. I have them boxed and packed and they are going back.
This sandal has a lot of support. I have at least three pairs of Naot sandals and all are very comfortable.
The left shoe fits good. I have narrow feet and the right shoe is a little loose.
Very nice shoes. Well constructed. Look great casual or dressy. Definitely narrow so if you don't have a narrow foot, size up. If between two sizes, size up. A bit overpriced though.
I have other Naot sandles in the same fit category...these are for narrow to medium feet. However, the elastic band across the top has a seam over the toes that rubbed uncomfortably. These would have given me blisters had I attempted to break them in, while waiting for them to stretch. So I guess I will have to stick with leather uppers. For size info, I am a 7.5B shoe size, and the 39 fit me just right. These are cute, but not as dressy as some have described, and there is a bit of a foot slap sound as I walked, but that doesn't really bother me, tho I've seen others describe it as annoying. To me, a foot slap sound is ok if they are comfortable and look prettier than the Birkenstocks I've overworn.
