Naot

Papaki

Women's

I love Naot sandals and this is absolutely the most comfortable sandal I have ever worn. I joke that these are my "fast shoes"...I have an extra spring in my step when I wear them. I usually wear a 38 in Naot but the 37 fit me perfectly. They work well on my wider than average foot.

I not only wear a difficult to fit size (10.5 AA or AAA), but I have sensitive areas, namely, my outer right arch on my right foot and my tendency to pronate. This she controlled the pronation due to a very good arch plus a slightly negative heel. I put an orthotic in it and it did not slip. Be aware, however, that an insert in the heel will lift your foot so that there may be some slippage. it was still more comfortable than no orthotic. Without the orthotic, there was too much pressure on my toes due to a softer footbed than some of their other sandals. Beautiful, well-made shoe.

With spring finally here, I wanted an open toe sandal that had a supportive covered heel so I ordered this Naot Papaki sandal in blue/grey. The width is perfect as is the size. The sole insert is comfortable without needing additional inserts. The only minor issue was that the cuticle on my right big toe was at first being irritated/rubbed by the shoe. Luckily that resolved and I wore them all day yesterday while shopping at the mall without discomfort. Very pleased with the color since it fits in with all colors of my jeans. I do recommend them.

I love this shoe. I am surprised Naots fit my long narrow foot.

I purchased in black and cinnamon combo. They look very nice but are narrower than other Naots I own. The rubber soles were also noisy on the floor. Smudges of glue on the seams of the shoes are not typical of Naot, specially at this price. Overall I am disappointed.
