Naot

Fiona

Women's

This was a disappointment. The style looks great in pics. In person it felt cheap, which I’ve never seen before from naot. The leather was too thin and stiff. The gilded parts looked plastic-y. They were way to narrow for me and too tight on my foot. So not the naot I have come to love over 2 decades.

I love these beautiful shoes. After they arrived I wore them around the house for several hours and forgot I had them on. Initially the vamp edge—is that the right word?—of the left shoe pressed into my foot where it meets the ankle, but the leather is so soft that after a while that stopped happening. The high backs are perfectly comfortable, not cutting into my heels at all. My feet—very narrow heels, normal arches, long, and low volume—are difficult to fit, and Naots are perfect. With styles like this, I’m starting to wonder why I bother with other brands.

I am so pleased with these shoes. I ordered the teal sandals on a lark as a birthday present for myself (teal is fun, but more of a want than a need color). I absolutely love them. Comfortable and stylish and I receive so many compliments every time I wear them. And, as it turns out, teal can go with more things than I thought! For informational purposes, I have a fairly narrow foot and crave good arch support. This shoe was perfect for me.

I recently fractured my foot and am easing back into shoes. These are just what the doctor ordered, literally. Great support and comfortable. I ordered these for a wedding since I'm unable to wear heels at this time. My only disappointment is there was some wear and tear on the heel as soon as I took it out of the box, see below. Because I needed the shoes immediately i decided to keep them, but for the price I paid that white line should NOT be there.

I'm on the fence about this shoe: the color sadly is dramatically more muted than pictured and the silver band/buckle looks cheap and like it won't hold up. I wanted a turquoise/ teal shoe that spoke to the fun of summer. That said, the shoe fits well, feels good and looks great on my feet. I will hold off wearing these shoes out until I can accept the drab color.
