Customer Reviews Naot Karenna

I ordered a pair of these sandals 2 years ago. Tried and true comfort. I love the Naot brand! I am realizing that there are 2 different sized footbeds. In the past, this was a little wider and needed no break-in time. This footbed was too narrow for my wide feet and bunions. Sadly I had to return them. Everything else is super quality for make, materials and craftsmanship. The size that fits me needs to be wider even though all of the shoes say medium.

This shoe wasn't comfortable to me and didn't really look good on my foot so I sent them back.

Raised sides felt uncomfortable.

I avoid Naot sandals due to repeated failures of their velcro. But I was desperate for comfortable sandals and gave these a try. However, the toe box had an odd fit, and they were not as comfortable as the velcro-failing Kayla.

I really wanted to like these, based on other reviews about how comfortable they were right out of the box, but... Maybe I have weird feet, but the straps seemed to rub in odd places on me, and the leather was stiff and uncomfortable, particularly in the arch area where there's a "side" to the shoe. The footbed was very nice and extra-supportive, but I couldn't deal with the leather cutting into the sides of my feet (and yes, I tried many adjustments of the velcro). I may try another Naot style to see if the straps fit my feet better.

Stitching interferes with comfort.....toes hit the stitching and felt uncomfortable. Largeer size too big.....

The width was comfortable for my medium-wide foot but the foot bed was too big. I didnt like the brown foot bed, would have preferred black.

Nice looking shoes. Look very well made. Unfortunately, they don't work with my feet, especially the left shoe. I don't know if the shoes are smaller size than marked or if my foot just couldn't be kept back in place.I have to return them.

I have purchased this brand sandal many times, however this pair is very wide and uncomfortable.

The back strap of the shoe does not come to the end of the shoe heel, causing your foot to be pushed forward. This is what makes the shoe small. I don't think going a half size larger would make a difference, because the strap would proportionately still push your foot forward.

They look cute and low profile in the picture. I found them to be very clunky looking and unattractive. I have several pairs of Naots and love them all style and comfort wise. These completely missed the mark for me.

I really want to like these shoes. The footbed was comfortable but the strap was uncomfortable and it just felt odd on my feet so they went back.

I'm not happy with the quality of the finishing, specifically in the front of the shoe. It has worn and is frayed after only several weeks of moderate use. The footbed also is very discolored, although I don't know how that could be avoided. For this price, that shouldn't happen.

I loved the look of these, the leather smelled real and looked great. However When I fastened the straps well enough to firmly hold my ankles, i ended up with deep indentations on my skin through a nylon footie. I am 70+years old and wanted a good summer walking sandal. I'm afraid this one is not going to work.

Loved these at first for support, light weight and comfort. Unfortunately, the more I wear them they cause a painful hard callus on the bottom of my 4th toe on left foot. Not certain why this occurs. Perhaps a bit narrow. But only occurs on one foot and on all pairs I bought. I bought 4 pairs they were so comfortable only to find I could not wear over time.

I have a pair of these from about four years ago. They are super comfortable with very soft leather, which was soft when I received them. This new replacement pair is not the same. The leather is not soft at all, in fact it is rough feeling. They even have kind of a cheap feel and fit. Maybe I got a defective pair, or maybe the manufacture of these sandals has gone down. Anyway, I am glad that I kept my old pair.

Naot's have never failed me before, but Karenna in Silver Snake was a big disappointment. I do believe it had to do with the silver snake leather. The stitching around the foot bed was uneven and the edge of the straps felt scratchy and uncomfortable around my foot. I could not imagine trying to walk in them. Again, it might just be this particular very stiff silver snake leather and the other colors may be fine. Am sending them back.

I have always liked Naots and have a number of pairs. However, these were quite short, so I would order a size larger. I liked another pair that I ordered at the same time better, so I am going to pass on these. Order up.

The straps on these were rather rough, also would not stay tight enough. I was surprised Naot shoes are usually very comfortable. Not always easy to get the correct size.

I found that the velcro/leather fastener at the toes was very irritating because of its placement and the thickness of the leather.

I have the brown and blue pair. I have had both for less then a year. Both shoes pulled apart, almost a rotting look on the inside walls. I assume this is from foot sweat and daily wear. I also am noting that the higher strap is stetching and no longer lays correctly on the side of shoe. It's longer and sticks upward at the end. Both footbeds are wearing out and I have decided not to replace them at the 55.00 price when the inside of the shoes are not holding up. I love the looks and the arch support but too expensive to not hold up longer. I am switching back to Ecco's as they do hold up better.

I found the Velcro comes too close to the sides of the straps and is abrasive against your skin. I had to loosen the straps, especially near my toes to the point where the Velcro on the bottom showed. It was very disappointing as I believe this company makes some really comfortable designs.

I tried these on looking for comfort sandals for walking. The leather straps on were very stiff and not comfortable, and felt like they would take a great deal of breaking in -- immediately after I put them on, they chafed a bit on the outside of my foot. They also had only two adjustable straps compared to three on the shoe I ended up choosing, Finn Comfort Gomeras, which made me feel they weren't going to be as supportive and good for walking.

Very comfortable. Strap is a bit too long so I always wonder if it will flap on the floor or if the small bit of velcro it actually attaches to will hold.

I was very excited about this shoe. All the reviews pointed to all-day walking comfort, which was what I was interested in. Everything was great except the heavy-duty stitching around the insole. After just a few moments, it was rubbing my toes and the edges of the front of my foot. No way could I walk in these very long. This may have to do with the shape of my own foot, but in the end, it overrode everything else I liked about this shoe.
