Customer Reviews Naot Laura

Loved the style; however, they were too narrow for my feet. I need to stay with the medium width Naots. Will try another style. I am rating them 5 stars because the description does state narrow to medium width, but I thought I would try them anyway.

I love these shoes. Not sure at all why folks think these are narrow.... they most certainly are not narrow. I'd be interested at what part they think they are narrow? I have very high arches and there was no pinching whatsoever and my feet are a regular medium width. After wearing them for awhile they become even more comfortable as the footbed molds to your foot. I tromped around Italy for almost three weeks in these, wearing them every single day. I walked on sidewalk, cobblestones, trekked up a mountainside,walked on the beach, climbed stairs and my feet never got tired. I even wore them to dinner with a dress. With high arches I have difficulty finding shoes that keep my feet comfortable all day, especially in a sandal. This shoe performed beautifully. I sprayed with a waterproof spray before I left and they stayed looking pristine. I hope that Naot brings back some of the nifty other materials such as the patent leather and such. I'm sure I'll want another pair for my next trip.

I've be wearing Naot shoes for several years. I have issues with my feet and have found the shoes with the cork most comfortable. I ordered a pair of "Laura" put them on and felt they were made for my feet. I ordered a second pair and now will get another pair of each to put away for future. The shoes seem to hold my feet together and they're flatter than the other Naot's I own. I highly recommend these shoes.

Love this shoe. It was very comfortable but a bit too snug. It's definitely on the narrow side so I'm sending it back. I usually wear a 7 med but there is no medium in this shoe. The leather is very supple and if your foot is more narrow than medium you should have no problem. I just wish I could have kept these sandals.

This sandal is very comfortable...my favorite of the summer. I like the velcro strap because it is so easy to adjust the fit and it gives me good support. The sandal has a somewhat narrow fit but that works for me. I have it in the biscuit which I really love but would like to get the black patent next. They were perfect the minute I put them on.

I love the look and comfort of these shoes. I bought the color biscuit leather, and I love the color!

Finding the right size in the Naot Laura is a challenge -- I initially ordered four pairs (thanks, Zappos!) in two colors and two sizes -- only one of the four fit properly. I then ordered a second pair of the color/size that fit, and lo and behold, it didn't fit either. Major quality control issues! In addition, the "brushed black leather" comes in two shades -- a true black, which I assume is last year's version, and a color that is a dark charcoal gray. I then ordered all of the size 41 black pairs in stock and received one true black pair and three of the "brushed black," or dark gray. I kept the black and returned the others. With all of this struggle to find a pair that fit and that was truly black, once I did, I'm happy with the shoe. But even if it was a five-star fit and comfort, I can only give four stars b/c of the random nature of color and fit. Good luck!

These Lauras are a bit narrower than other "elegant" line sandals -- I have at least 6 pairs. But if your feet are on the narrow side of medium (as are mine) these are heavenly! I always wear a 41 in Naots (with size 9.5 feet). So all Naots run a half size smaller than true, I think. No exception here. I love the muted black/true charcoal gray leather with its matte finish and the 3 wide straps. I've been eyeing them for a couple years and would have bought them sooner, but I prefer the slightly higher heel/wedge of the Kaylas so I held off. These are walking sandals! I'll wear them a lot and love them too. The usual great arch support and comfy footbed.

Loved these shoes.. have been having trouble finding sandals with adequate support for the foot if you are active... bought them in beige and was lucky to find another pair in black... very comfortable and will probably buy more of this brand. Think it is great you carry sandals all year long.. I tried shopping in a large very well established store that carried this brand on line as well at the end of our summer and was told I was looking for sandals in the wrong season... needless to say that did not go over well with me. I have been a loyal Zappos shopper for many years and this style runs narrow which is a good thing for me!!!

Love these sandals! Very comfortable, do not need break in time at all. I did order 1 size larger because they run narrow and my feet aren't.

As a result of multiple sclerosis, my right foot does not cooperate much. Last week I discovered flip-flops are not an option for me anymore as they take a lot of work! Annoyed that I had to wear sneakers to the first party of the summer, I came to Zappos and bought these sandals. They are cute, amazingly comfortable and stay on my feet. I just ordered another pair. Oh, and I am wearing them as I type this before leaving for the second party!

I just bought these sandals in teal, and I love them so much after wearing them for about an hour that I just ordered a pair in pearl. My feet are on the narrow side of medium, and I have narrow heels. I normally wear a 7 1/2 and these fit perfectly in a size 38. They are comfortable and attractive.

I have been a happy Naot customer for many years, and the Laura style is the most comfortable yet. I already own it in black leather and biscuit will definitely purchase more. I wish it also came in dark brown leather and tan leather. A really great sandal!

Cute but so narrow I could not get them on at all. I ordered at 41. I am a perfect 10B in US sizing. I guess I will try a 42!

These sandals are wonderfully comfortable. As others have said, they are narrow fitting - the middle strap in particular. I stretched it a little using a hair dryer and now they fit beautifully. The natural color goes with everything (it is more streaky than apparent in the picture). I have walked long distances in these with no rubbing or blisters from day one.

I thought these sandals were so cute, but the soles are thinner than traditional Naots, and therefore the arch support collapses and they offer little shock absorption or stability. The upside is that they're wider in the toe than other Naots, so I could actually wear them if the soles were better.

Such a pretty shoe!! Wish I could keep it but my foot is too narrow

Love these shoes. Very comfortable, just got a second pair. Leather is now a little stiffer and more glossy. They definitely run small and narrow.

I ordered size 38 and 39 of the Laura sandal. The smaller size fits and looks the best so I returned the size 39. Naot seems to have problems with quality control. I previously purchased 2 pairs of this sandal.The description says "brushed leather". First pair was a black soft leather, second pair was a stiff leather and narrower. I now ordered the Biscuit in the two sizes. Size 38 was a narrow stiff leather with no spotting...very pretty color. The size 39 was a wider spotty brushed leather with a higher type wedge heel and thinner straps. Not so pretty. I can see where some people state that the sandal was too narrow. It depends on what was sent to them. The soft brushed leather is wider, but stretches out faster that the stiff leather. I like the the firm feel of the wider straps and the flatter heel. I have plantar fasciitis and arthritis in my foot and Laura sandals make walking comfortable.

I bought this sandal after reading reviews. I have a narrow foot and read that they run narrow. With the Velcro it was easy to adjust them to be a perfect fit for my foot. They are the most comfortable sandal I've ever worn and I wore them all over Israel and Jordan this summer. My feet never got tired and they gave my feet plenty of arch support and cushion. I've had knee replacements and the pancake heel was great! I can't say enough good things about this sandal! I wish they would come in red.

I am a multi-year fan of Naot footwear. My shoe size ranges from 9 Wide to 10 regular in other shoe brands, and I often find that the Naot size 41 works well for me in shoes such as the Kirei, Dorith, and Sofia. However, in these shoes, the 41 is too narrow, and the 42 also is too narrow but quite a bit too long for my feet. Naot is an excellent brand, but these do indeed run narrow even if you size up, so those of you with wide flippers like me, perhaps a different style of Naot would be best.

These are the most comfortable sandals ever! The leather is very flexible right out of the box. Don't worry about blisters wearing these sandals. The styling is very cute as well.

I have notable foot issues (from abnormal sensations to pain) as well as lymphedema, so finding supportive AND comfortable shoes/sandals is difficult. These sandals are wonderful. They're cute, supportive, and very comfortable. The do run on the narrow side, particularly in the front strap and I normally wear between a regular and a wide width but I find these to be comfortable. One reviewer recommended to use the hair dryer on the straps, which I did on the front strap and it worked perfectly. They fit really well and are extremely supportive. Good for wearing for long periods of time.

These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever owned. I purchased them for a trip to Israel and have since worn them all over Europe as well. The only thing I don't like is the velcro closure - pretty unsexy. But they are honestly fantastic shoes. I usually wear a women's size 5 and the 36 (listed here as being equivalent to size 5) was too large, and the 35 fits perfectly.

Just ordered my second pair in the dark gray (they say that the color is a brushed black, but it is really a dark gray). I agree: the footbed is narrow and I love that because my feet are a AAA. I may wear snazzier sandals on a party night, but always wear these for travel. The velcro makes it possible to fit to your exact size. Thanks Naot and Thanks Zappos...for continuing to make and carry this sandal!
