Naot

Okahu

Women's

Purchased the Okahu in the Brown/Mauve color. Great neutral color, especially for summer. The shoe is very lightweight. The vegan insole is very smooth and comfortable, more so than regular Naot insoles. As noted by others, the stretchy knit fabric provides less support around the foot than a leather shoe. I like the airy feeling of the mesh. I have a narrow/medium width. I ordered my usual size 8/39, but found them to be a bit too short. Got a size 40 instead, which was a little too big, but overall, the shoes fit better. There is enough 'wiggle room' to wear thin socks, if desired.

This is a huge price tag for these rather flimsy and not-miraculously-comfortable shoes (which I expected them to be for this much money). I’m very willing to spend a lot on really comfortable, practical, good looking shoes - but these weren’t that.

Very happy with these shoes. Great support! Fabric top will take some getting used to — a little snug on the top of the foot but i think that will improve over time. I always size up for this Naot footbed 42 instead of usual 41. This style would be too tight for someone with a wide foot or high instep in my opinion. Fabric top is not very stretchy, but has enough “give” to be comfy while holding the foot in place well. Top comes up to the ankle — would prefer it to be a little lower for comfort, look and ease of putting the shoe on. Overall, a winner!

I have Morton’s Neuroma, a bunion, and major hip/knee pains post Covid. These shoes make me feel like I’m walking on clouds. So comfortable right out of the box with great base support. I wear thin socks with them for better grip. I’m hoping they hold up over time. I bought two colors because of an upcoming overseas trip.

Very stylish. The knit fabric had lots of give, and while that means no pressure points, I missed the support that comes with a sturdier upper.
