Customer Reviews Naot Rachel

I love Naot shoes, especially their sandals. These are just a little bit too small for my feet, wish I could have kept them. They are otherwise very comfortable, the footbed is very soft and my feet always feel secure inside these sandals. I kept another pair that I ordered instead. These are also very pretty.

The Rachel was the one that started my love affair with Naot sandals many years ago. Always wanted another, but my preferred color choices were never available. So I decided to go with the gun metal which is the only color offered. The shoe is as gorgeous as ever... but tight. This is the first Naot pair of sandals that I have to "break in". I will be keeping as I know from experience this shoe will eventually stretch out. Wish Naot could do something about that problem for the price they charge. But other than being on the tight side they are great shoes and great looking.

I have owned this style from Naot for years and am now taking them through their sixth summer! I originally purchased them for a girlfriends' trip to Block Island where I knew we would be renting bikes, and so I was looking for a sandal with a back strap to keep them from falling off my feet while pedaling. And now they are just my favorite summer sandal! I wear them when my husband and I want to walk around town but I want to wear something dressier than my usual flip flops! I am in my mid-thirties and it is difficult to find a sandal that will not only look youthful and pretty, but also comfortable. They are delicately designed, but they are so sturdy! I have walked miles in them and always take them on vacations with me. I have the silvery/bronze leather and they go with just about everything - gold and silver jewelry, pants, jeans, skirts and dresses. They are very light. I love their mid-heel which provides good cushioning for my heels while walking, and also the molded cork sole which keeps my feet cool in sticky weather. I do apparently have bunions on both feet, and the way the straps are designed accommodates them fine without exaggerating their shape or rubbing on the side of my foot. Last year they started to feel a bit stretched out, and the cork sole is ever so slightly breaking down near the heels. But I got more than my money's worth out of these shoes, so I am not at all sorry...Next time I buy these I need to buy two pairs!!! I hope they are never discontinued or I will be very sad!

Naot cannot be beat!! These shoes are well made!! I love these sandles, and have worn them for years!

So cute, but way too narrow for my slightly wide feet.

This is an amazing travel shoe. I bought them for my daughter to take on a semester studying abroad. She has high arches and bony, somewhat narrow feet. Besides wearing these daily around campus, she wore them backpacking in Asian cities for 2 weeks. They took her through the streets of cities in Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia. She hosed them off when they got dirty. Home now, they look great, though the bottom soles have a fair amount of tread wear. But she never got a blister, and said they were extremely comfortable, never smelly, and went with everything . Worth the price if it's in your budget.

Very comfortable and supportive. Great for my plantar fasciitis issues!

These are wonderful! Comfortable, fit beautifully, secure on feet, attractive. I ordered them in a panic for a warm-weather event. They arrived the day I was flying- into the suitcase, onto my feet the next day in Florida. Perfect -forgot them from the time I put them on until I took them off hours later. I love Naot, but agree with the comments that they often stretch. Much as I love the Kaylas I've kind of given up on them because of that. Early days for these, but I am hopeful!

Have been wearing Naot sandals for years and they've always fit great & look great. Get many compliments & can walk all day in them with NO pain! Love Zappos for great service & products!!!!

I recently purchased a pair of casual Naot sandals and fell in love with them. I needed another type to wear to the office with skirts and slacks and purchased these 2 weeks later. I'm now a huge fan of Naot footwear. I find them to be extremely comfortable, quiet when walking on hardwood floors at work and stylish. I typically wear a size 8 and ordered both pair in an 8 and they fit perfectly. P.S., I have bunions and these fit well.

I love these sandals so much that this is my second pair. I've had the first pair in bronze for at least 8 years. At one point they started looking and feeling sloppy because the elastic had stretched over time. I took them to a shoe repair shop and they were able to tighten them up. It was worth the money to repair them because now they look like new again. I have just purchased a second pair in metal leather to wear with black and gray clothes. These shoes are the most comfortable sandals I've ever had and look great with or without socks. The metallic colors are especially good because they go with more things and different shades of color.

I love these shoes! I've worn Naot sandals for years, and I've always worn the Kyra. I decided to try this style because it looked more feminine. Like others have said, it was comfortable right out of the box and looks as great as I hoped. My only concern is that it might stretch out quickly, as it seems to have stretched a little after wearing them only a few times. My other Naot sandals have lasted ten years before they stretched out too much to wear--no exaggeration, which is why I don't mind the price. Hoping I don't need to replace them by the end of one summer.

Cuter in person than online, and cuter than on the model in a platinum color. Love love love these sandals and have had them for over 5 years. Naot is the way to go if you have neuromas or plantar fasciitis. I'm a foot doctor so I know personally and professionally. Glad to see they are branching out with colors.

I own about 8 pairs of Naots. Loving them all. In all other european sizing (Birkies, etc) I wear a 39, but I know that I wear a 40 in Naot. For some reason they do run a size small or maybe even a 1 1/2 sizes small. They are for narrow to medium/regular width... not the best for super wide, however, they DO give after wear as they are mostly fine leather which does mold to your foot and "give" with wear. This shoe does have a velcro type adjustment strap across the top of the foot. I had polio at 2 and my feet are about 1 1/2 sizes different in size. The adjustment makes it a bit more comfortable and sometimes I can avoid having to buy 2 pairs. With Naot, this is generally the case. I carefully chose my styles and brands for this reason. The metal color I chose is a slightly rusty steel look. I like it. I did not feel any sharp or rough patches against my skin, nor any rubbing after properly adjusting the strap. I had taken pictures to post (used to shopping on Amazon!) but Zappos doesn't have a pic download option. These are a very nice casual, but nicer than a flipflop option for summer and into fall. The metal color is a nice neutral going with most colors.

I bought these sandals 12 months ago. I am getting ready for a trip to Spain and was searching for another pair of Naots to avoid buying these in two different colors. I will probably end up doing that as I am not finding anything that compares. I did not experience leather stretching (that was noticeable) nor did my shoes squeak. These are the best sandals for walking long distances and feeling zero discomfort while looking stylish. For those who have bad feet, they are miraculous! It may be that the problems referred to in negative reviews were addressed my Naot, so should probably be removed from the reviews. To conclude, I have put many miles on these sandals and they still look and feel great!

If I were taking a trip to Europe these would be the shoes for me. If I could give a shoe 6 stars these would be it. If I could have a shoe bff these would be it. I bought a pair of Naot Kayla last year that changed my life (no exaggeration). I was having heel pain in one foot and bunion pain in the other. I wore the Kayla on moving day and to walk 20,000 steps in downtown Chicago without problems. They are black so I wanted a lighter neutral color. The price was what kept me from getting another pair. I even stared at these in the box a week before deciding to keep them. For me $100+ is a LOT spend on shoes. While the design on the top of these is not my favorite, it is cuter on than off. The color is a shimmery light gold (?). I have slightly narrow feet and these fit perfectly. The strap keeps my foot very secure and stable. The heel is thicker than the Kayla and I think it might provide more cushion. What else can I say? Naot is the brand for me. I just wish the closed toe shoes were more my style. Btw, saying all the positive things about Naot I wanted to note that these shoes do not feel good on my mom. Not all feet are created equal. Thankfully they worked for me!

This is the third pair of Rachels that I have purchased. I wore out one pair in the bronze color and ordered a second. I was delighted to see this color and continue to feel they are cute and so comfortable. I love Naots. They are expensive but worth it. Great for my middle-aged feet that often hurt and need arch support.

I have a plethora of foot ailments, I am also a podiatrist. It's about time someone produced an orthopedic sandal that doesn't look like one. I have neuromas and have had about six foot surgeries on various things and these sandals allow me to walk without orthotics. They are rigid enough to prevent too much motion in the foot but soft enough to provide comfort to sensitive feet. They are way cuter in person than in the picture and I get many compliments which is pretty amazing for a sandal like this. Going to Africa soon and will not leave home without these.

Nato's Rachel is a great, comfortable sandal. I like the height of the sole. It's great for casual or dressy events. I have had a pair of these same sandals for several years and ordered them again to replace my old pair. The metal leather I got looked darker and more like a copper than pewter. The box is labeled Metal Leather so I might try again.

These are very comfortable with good arch support. I have a bunion, and this sandal seems to work! I was looking for something I could walk thru Italy in. We'll see how it stands up. But it's cute, versatile, and comfortable.

I absolutely love these sandals. I have been living with relentless clinical pain for several years, and wearing shoes is one of my most difficult challenges. I have tried and returned probably 50 pairs of shoes over the past 4 years (keeping approximately 1 out of every 12 pairs - I cannot thank Zappos enough for their return policy), and have rarely felt as comfortable in a pair of shoes as this pair of Naots. First, the strappiness really helps because anywhere that any part of a shoe touches my foot hurts, so having fewer areas of contact is great for me, especially around my bunions and hammertoes. Second, although they claim this is for narrow feet, the straps get looser after only a few wears, so unless you have super wide feet, don't cross these off your list. Third, the arch support and cushioning is sufficient to help cradle my feet with both structure + comfort. Fourth, they are cute enough to wear with dressier clothes (I have them in bronze), which was a godsend at a wedding this summer (no, they will not look as hip/stylish as gold stilettos, but if your feet are a priority, you won't care).

Cute and comfy shoe. Second pair of this style - first pair lasted four years. Bronze color looks better over time. Only negative is that Naot does stretch out after a while but worth it for comfort.

There are a few distinctive features that make this sandal attractive and comfortable for city walking: First, it has a wedge heel - it's not a flat - and that makes it more flattering. Second, It has a raised ridge that falls right underneath where your toes meet your foot. So your foot is nicely held in place. Also, I tend to have a wide foot. Others have reviewed it as best for a narrow foot, but I find the sandal quite comfortable. The leather is soft. If it stretches out, as most reviewers have reported, I'll take it to my local cobbler.

Love this sandal is so comfortable, does not take much to work them in. I have a hard time finding the right shoes for me. I have wide and flat feet (Lot of foot pain if not wearing the right shoes). Can dress down or can dress them out. Have had two pairs they last a long time. Ready to buy another but they don't have my size now, I just have to wait. :(

So sad to have to return these shoes. Love the style, but just too narrow for my foot. I have several Naot shoes and all fit great, with arch support, just what I need for all day comfort. Will need to choose another style.
