Naot

Rome

Women's

I have only one thing to say. These sandals make me want to throw away all my other shoes. (Except for my Naot Advance shoe/boots -- I could get by with the Rome and the Advance. Those Advance boots, by the way, well, they rock with tights and a black cashmere dress...trust me.) And, well, I can never say only one thing: I wish I could buy a few more pairs, lest something happen to these. Lest Naot ceased production on them. I love them. I want to sleep with them on. They make me want to buy a plane ticket and go someplace exotic where I will wow the paparazzi because they will take one look at these sandals and think I'm someone. And I'd stand there smiling demurely because these shoes feel as I imagine baby clothes feel to a baby -- who wouldn't just love the fit and feel of a onesie? So soft, so enveloping, so comfortable. Why don't they make clothes like that for grown-ups? I would love to meet the designer of these sandals -- because they hit the jackpot. These are my sandals. Utterly. They hug my feet in the most delicious embrace. Love.

I really wanted to like these sandals as much as the other reviewers did. Although I ordered a half size up (40) they were much too narrow for my feet. While a normal 8.5 usually works for me, even with wider feet and high arches, this size 40 was much too tight a squeeze, width-wise, and my heel was at the very end of the foot pad. The final "must send these back to Zappos" is that the sides of my feet would stick out of the decorative half-moon cuts in the side. Not a flattering look. If you have wider feet or high arches, I would order a full size up in these well-made and stylish shoes.

Maybe not meant for someone with bunions or those in need of a widened toe box. They squeezed my little toe so much just walking around the house that I returned them. The rest of the shoe fit fine. Maybe breaking them in more would work, but I didn't think they were worth the price.

I ordered two pairs of Naot sandals, these and the Istanbul. I am actually planning on returning these. They were my favorite based on the photos, but they just don't look as good with a foot in them! I think they should have a picture with a foot. But they were comfy and true to size, just not as attractive as I had hoped. I did like that they were slip on.

Classic-looking sandals which will go well with slacks, jeans or a skirt. As for sizing, however, you need to be aware that unlike Mephisto, for example, which considers a size 40 to be equivalent to a size 10, Naot considers a size 41 to be equivalent to a size 10. So be careful when you are ordering; otherwise, you will end up sending all your shoes back as I have had to do as they are too large.
