Customer Reviews Naot Kayla

This shoe fit in length and width just like most Naots in the Elegant line. It runs narrow and short. I normally wear a 7.5/38, but I always need a 39 in the Naot Elegant line. The leather is soft, the footbed amazing, and the construction excellent. The problem I had with this shoe, and the reason for my return, is that the strap that goes behind the ankle was WAY too long/loose. So much so, that it flopped when I walked, and there was no way to make it tighter. The Elegant line is made for a more narrow foot, so I don't understand why the back strap was made to fit a heel twice the size of mine. I almost reordered in case it was an isolated workmanship issue, but I decided to go with the Peyton instead. As a side note, I had to order three Peytons before I got a pair that did not have straps on one shoe wider than the other. Sadly, the pair in which both shoes fit the same had some type of stain on the leather. I'll probably keep them regardless, but at this price point, one would think the quality control would be better. I've never have these kinds of issues with Naot before, but in general, this seems to be the way many brands are now - the quality has diminished a bit. I'd encourage you to give this shoe a try. With Zappos' fabulous customer service, you have nothing to lose. Naots are excellent shoes if you find the right fit! I do cut them a little slack since they are handmade, and as such, there will be inconsistencies.

Love the looks of the shoe and its comfort for walking. The only reason I returned my pair was because the “metallic” color looked pewter in the photo but was actually more of a subtle bronze. I needed a silver or pewter color.

This was a comfortable sandal but the straps across the foot are not adjustable so they were too loose on me. I wish Naot would have more sandal options with adjustable straps everywhere, including the heel. That way the sandal would truly be a "custom" fit. I ordered and am keeping the Naot Madison sandal which has two hook and loop straps. Thanks Zappos!

I typically wear 7.5 or 38, but in this case the sizing listed was more accurate in US sizes (38=7) so I exchanged for a 39. These are very lightweight and don't feel like they will last forever but are a good balance of practical and fashionable for an upcoming trip.

Liked the sandal but too wide for my foot.

Love Naots but lately their sizes are not as narrow and the length is a bit shorter than usual.

Too narrow for my wide feet, unfortunately. Stylish for a comfort sandal. Wish the strap didn’t cut into side of foot.

Cute shoe but I thought it ran a bit small. I usually do wear a size 40 in Naot and I do love Naots! But these just seemed to be a bit short. The black color was a good basic but the black pewter metallic was really cute!

Pretty but narrow

I love this style and have bought several pairs in leather. They're so comfortable and they wear well. I have narrow feet and Kayla is one of the few styles that fit me. The stone nubuck is attractive but I'm not sure how well it will wear. Two different pairs have arrived slightly damaged out of the box which doesn't bode well. I love the stone color, but I wish they came in smooth leather.

If you have a wide foot it may not feel completely comfortable after wearing them for a while.

Because I have flat feet these felt a little narrow on me. But they are a great looking shoe and decided to keep them and they are worth trying on! I am a huge Naot fan!

I have about 5-6 pairs of Kaylas in the same size, 41, for my size 9.5 feet. I've found that I always have to size up a bit to get the right length. Width wise they're great for my narrow to medium feet. I love them and they're kind of my "default" sandal. But, this Oily Dune color is very yellowish -- not at all what I expected. So I'm returning them because of that. Oh well -- I was hoping for a more "cognac" brownish/neutral color. Not.

Naot does a great job on comfort and support. This is also a pretty sandal that would look as nice with jeans as with a dress. However, the front straps are too wide for my foot and can't be adjusted.

The two straps on the toe end are quite snug. I like the security that gives the shoe. But they could be a bit looser. Being leather they should loosen up with time. I love the look of these sandals. The shiny red is a deep red that looks dressy. I’m wearing them regularly and they get more comfortable each time. As in all Naots the arch support is very nice.

The Naot Kayla is a great sandal--I now have it in two colors. The matte black is easy to wear--dress it up or dress it down--comfortable and true to size. Naots are the best, and the Kayla is no exception.

The red color was not a true red and looked more orangish when the shoes arrived. Sadly this doesn't work for me.

Looks great in the picture but too small and the style looks masculine

I still have these at home before I make a final decision on which shoes I will buy for my trip to Italy. I like these shoes a lot and I liked the "distressed metal" look. My only doubt arises as I consider whether I can tolerate my bunion sticking out on the big toe side of my right foot between the top two straps. If that was not a concern I would have made a decision to keep them, but am currently still looking for the perfect shoe.

Super cute and classic style.

I ordered the White Snake Leather, and while the styling was pretty cute (for supportive walking sandals), the edges of the straps were totally fraying and kind of a mess because of the texture of the leather. I also sized up in these to an 8 to see if the fit would be better for me - I typically wear a 7/7.5, but Naots run pretty narrow. They were too big but the width of the straps did feel a bit more comfortable than the 7s I also ordered (in the tan oily nubuck). Back they went.

great sandals, but they run about 1/2 size short. very comfortable. slightly narrow, which is good for my feet. don't know if the next half size up will be wider. and they do vary a bit from shoe to shoe. the black pair I got was ok. the white pair was a tad too short.

These were SUPER narrow. If you have a narrow foot, this would b great. style is cute. looks like something you could wear all day.

I was so disappointed! The shoes are supremely comfortable, but the ankle strap was too big. The velcro just barely touched so there was a secure closure when walking. I had to return, alas.

I purchased these to replace a 4 year old pair that I loved and had worn to the end. I ordered a size up as the original pair I had were a size 41 regular M width, generally I wear a size 40 M. The pair I received however are quite a bit narrower than the pair I retired. I know shoes stretch out over time, but the sides of my foot went over the sides of the footbed on the pair I received. I never would have purchased my original pair had they fit in this manner. I have never had to purchase a wide width shoes and most often have to wear thicker socks because a M width at times is a sloppy fit. Sadly I had to return these. Birkenstocks I do generally go with a narrow width sandal - adding this to help others estimate how narrow these sandals are.
