Naot

Monterey

Women's

Walked, walked, walked in this shoe - I wore these shoes, straight out of the box, in Las Vegas last weekend (not something I would normally recommend, but I got them at the last minute!). These shoes are amazing. They were so comfortable and not a blister or sore spot anywhere on my feet. We walked 'the strip' for 4 days. Not only were they ultra comfortable but they also looked great with shorts, capri pants and even a skirt. They were the only shoe I ended up wearing the whole trip. Excellent purchase!

I love this sandal. I purchased these bc I loved the Naot Rome and was looking for the same quality and comfort and to diversify my style options. I loved the asymmetric strappy look online. Out of the box the fit was tricky. The toe strap was tight and felt a bit awkward. I almost sent them back. They seemed like the kind of shoe that might only fit a certain kind of foot. I wanted to love these, though, so I took some time to wear them around the house to see how/if they would loosen up. After a few go-arounds they seemed to give a little, so I took the risk and took them outside for some extended walking. I definitely blistered up the first couple times I wore them, but then (!) they just broke in. Beautifully. The leather softened and fit to my feet. I now have a comfortable, secure, and funky little sandal. I adore them. I generally wear a 5.5 and ordered the 36. They were worth a little extra work.

Call me persistent or something else but this is my third time trying these. I love the look but just cannot find comfort no matter the size. The leather is too stiff all around, sizing is strange and I have a normal 9.5, medium with foot. I usually order a 10. That didn't work so I did the 9 and that didn't work either. I think I could have dealt with the sizing strangeness if the leather wasn't so, so stiff.

Nice-looking shoes that I really wanted to fit but, alas, they didn't. I have a high instep and, even with the elastic in the upper strap, my foot would not go far enough down for my toe to go into the toe strap. If the shoe came in wide, perhaps that would have helped.

Great shoe - I have Plantar Fasciitis. My Podiatrist recomended this brand of shoe. It fits wonderfully. Supports the arch better than anything I've tried. I spent hundreds of dollars to find a sandal with the kind of arch support I need. Another pair of Naots will definitely be on my Christmas list.
