I have just recently started wearing these because right after I ordered them, I bashed my toes, and the service at Zappos is so great, I could have worn them the next day! The cork footbed is very supportive and comfortable, but they do run short. I measure "true to size" an 11 & 1/2 narrow. I really wanted the adjustable Carly, but this is one of the few Naots that come in a 43 or 44. I probably could have used the 44; there is no extra toe room in these 43's. Having a long narrow foot that needs support, I appreciate these shoes, but I'm down beat about Naot cutting of so many cool shoes/sandals at 42 -- since so many run short anyway, they're cutting out those who wear a true 11. I would love to get a Naot shoe for winter that was supportive and fit narrow; I feel like us tall women with long feet are out of the loop! I think this Kayla will work, though because the ankle strap keeps my foot seated correctly, and the foot bed keeps my foot from sliding around. The straps are very soft and comfortable, and they're very attractive. Please Naot, make more shoes in "extended sizes."

I love these sandals! I have several years of experience with this style, and have found that these are by far the most comfortable sandals I've ever worn -- and I walk a lot. By buying a new pair every year, in a different color from the year before, I always have at least two pairs to choose from. One word of warning -- they do run somewhat narrow, but are perfect for me (normally a AA). (If you check the Naot website, you will see that they are listed among their narrower styles.)

I needed a simple black sandal to wear with both jeans and skirts, and I tried 6 different styles of Naot sandals before I returned to the Kayla, which I've owned for years in the bronze color. I usually wear orthotics; I have a very slim ankle and heel and a shallow instep, and I'm forever looking for comfortable sandals that have support in the right places and don't gape over the top of the foot or the in the heel. The Kayla is comfortable, fits my foot perfectly, and has clean lines that go with everything. I may just go back and get it in a few more colors!

These shoes run very narrow and a bit short. I am normally a size 11 (42) but had to get a size 12 (43) in this shoe. Otherwise, my toes hung over the front and side.

I loved the sandals, but they were a wee bit small for a size 9 or (40). I had to go up a size.

Second pair of Naots, very happy. Bought these for a summer trip through Austria and Germany. I have plantar fasciitis, and this is one of the few brands of sandals I can wear all day. I ordered several pairs to try, and these in western croc were the most subtle looking.

I have had these sandals for a couple of years. I wore them straight out of the box all through Europe for a couple of weeks and they were incredibly comfortable. Great for walking, and a bit less frumpy than many walking sandals. It did not take long, however, for the nubuck on the back strap to stretch out. I'm taking them to a cobbler to have the shortened, because the back strap is not adjustable. I wear an 8.5M and they fit great in width.

I had been searching in stores and online for many months and finally saw the ad for Zappos. I was beginning to think they didn't make my shoe anymore. I found my exact shoe within minutes. I was wearing them a few days later and I am extremely happy.

These are great sandals, but. I have a very narrow foot. The Velcro strap allows me to tighten enough to get a secure fit, but at that point the fixed angle of both sides makes it impossible to line up the two pieces. So the bottom Velcro sticks out. I am keeping them and wearing them, but every time I look down it bothers me.

Yes, you can avoid the stink: use "wet suit" cleaner! As everyone here says, these would be the perfect kids' shoes, except for the stink. But I discovered the solution last summer: wet suit wash. It's the neoprene that causes the smell, so if you scrub them in the sink with a product intended for washing neoprene wet suits, it takes the stink out and keeps it from coming back so quickly. I only had to use it a couple times last summer, and my daughter wore them every day to camp. In between, I just threw them in the washer to get rid of the everyday dirt.

Our second pair for our daughter, a favorite shoe of my husband. I have had a pair and also bought them for our 10 year old son. They fit comfortably for everyone. This shoe is wide but comfy on chubby little feet. Currently she wears them with socks. I love the deep purple color, with the black sole is nicer than the gray sole. She can tighten the toggle herself and do the velcro closure.

Best kids sandals ever! I buy my kiddos new ones every 2 years. Then pass them on to cousins, they last forever. Yes they get stinky, just wash with detergent. Never had a blister.

My 4 year old loves these. They are easy to get on and off by herself and a great summer play shoe that she can run in. Much safer to wear than sandals. We will be buying again. We sized up a 1/2 size to allow for room to grow and it fit just fine.

Purchased this shoe for my 6 year old. She loves them. They are sturdy and the color is very pretty. They are holding up very well and definitely will purchase another pair for next summer.

Great fit and durability. Runs small- we always go a size up. Great for the park, the beach or everyday wear. Very versatile and comfortable. An annual summer staple.
