I have narrow feet and it is hard to find a shoe like this with in stock narrow sizing. These surprised me and although I’d like them a tad bit more narrow, they are great and I think I will get a lot of use out of them. This brand might become a new obsession!

I ordered my usual size, but found it to be too narrow for my wide feet (usually wear a medium width). I ordered the next size up and that was perfect! I find them to be comfortable enough to take the dog on a long walk and like the way they look

I love the look of these sandals. They are great for awhile but the leather stretches and then you dont feel comfortable walking too far. They are really one season sandals if you are a city walker like me.

I've worn Naot's Kaylas for years, but the gray color of this pair was awful. Sick looking. Yes, I realize gray isn't cheerful, but these cheapened the look. However, the same quality of the sandal seems to be maintained which is the most important part. Exchanging.

Love the shoe and may try to reorder another time. However each shoe felt like a different size this time, one too big and one too small. I have 2 other pairs in other colors and never had a problem.

Cute shoes. I have these in 2 different colors. No cushioning to speak of on footbed, only cork. Good arch support.

Comfy soft leather but the sandal runs narrow and a little small for size. Thought the color was more reddish - actually closer to cranberry.

Insanely comfortable sandals!!! Unfortunately they aren't very attractive and with such a high price tag, I needed both cute and comfy. I returned with much chagrin.

I bought these in the metallic bronze, which is a perfect neutral that goes with everything.
I love the color! This was very important as they were the only sandals I was taking on a two week international trip.
As others described, I had to size up from my normal 9/40 to the Naot 41.
The footbed is uber comfortable and supportive and they never hurt my feet.
My complaint is with the width and strap. Over time, they STRETCH and my foot now moves around. I do have narrow ankles and commonly have a problem with gaping there, but this ankle strap leaves a good 1" of looseness. I even took them to a cobbler, but he couldn't fix them. I can now shake them off!

I wear an 12N (2A), I thought these sandals would fit because of a review that was written saying these shoes run narrow. The first strap close to the toes isn't to bad but the second strap is very loose. My foot can slide over the front leaving my toes hanging over the edge.
:o(. If you have a medium foot these shoes should fit. Very nice sandals. Wish they would have fit.

Overall very comfortable with a nice supportive arch. My only complaint is that the heel strap is slightly loose. I decided to keep them anyway, but I wish the heel strap were adjustable. Then they would be perfect.

I just bought this sandal, and wore them for 10 days straight traipsing all over Europe, and they were great. I had another pair of comfortable sandals with me, but ended up wearing these every day because they were more comfortable for the long days and many miles on hard surfaces on my feet. I have a very high arch and have been experiencing some foot issues, but these gave me great support. As noted in several other reviews, the top straps felt a big narrow and tight around the the ball of my foot at first, but I have a relatively wide foot and still found them comfortable. The shoe base itself was perfectly fine width-wise. Over time the leather stretched a bit and they are perfect now. My only complaint is that the leather upper straps are not a bit softer and more finished on the underside; I did get a small rub spot on the top of my arch on one foot and had to wear a band aid. Still, I give these sandals high marks!

These look far more frumpy in the pictures than they look in real life. I would love to wear them, but the crossed leather at the arch rubs my foot and I fear it may cause blisters. It may soften with time, but I'm not willing to risk it for the price. I am typically a 10.5 (41 or 42) and can often wear a 10 in sandals but I had to wear a 43 in these sandals.

I have bought and worn this style of sandal, in various colors for several years, but will return my recent purchase of Naot Kayla. The main reason is the very poor quality of finish in the color. The sandal now receives a "hand-applied" finish, which looks like someone brushed on permanent black shoe polish over the base metal color and then scraped it off. Very sloppy and unattractive. I purchased a second pair, just to see if I'd received a damaged pair the first time, but the second was as ugly as the first. As others have noted, the sandal already has a problem with the straps stretching over time, but I was willing to overlook that, since they're comfortable. No dice now.

I bought this shoe to wear for a vacation trip with lots of walking. I love the style and fit. Plenty of arch support. I knew from reading other reviews that the shoe runs a little small so I ordered the larger size. Unfortunately after wearing them a short time I got a blister on my little toe. Not a good start. Therefore I'm returning the shoes.

I'm undecided about these. They're very supportive, but after half a day or so my feet don't feel great. I find the upper leather a little scratchy and there are a few places that rub a bit. I'm hoping that they'll break in a little more, because I really want to like them.

Unfortunately, the front straps were a little loose on my feet even though the length was just right. The sole is a bit slippery too, thought I didn't wear them for too long because of the fit. They look very well made and would work great for someone with feet not as skinny as mine.

Comfort for all day on my feet. Nice arch support and velcro adjustment at the ankle. Straps around toes are a little loose.

I have owned Naot Kayla in both black and brown...twice per pair! So, obviously I have found them to be a comfortable shoe. I wore them out the first time and then bought them again. You may ask...am I buying them a third time? I almost thought about it but here is the one thing holding me back: the sole wears off to a very slick surface after what I consider too brief an amount of time. The same has happened both times I've owned them and one time I even took a fall on a tile floor. I would say this is after wearing them 1 or 2 summers (so it's not like I wore them 5 or 6 years). Also, the straps do get a tad stretched over time. I could overlook that but the soles wearing out the way they do makes me think I won't just keep buying them. Also, not only do the soles wear off to where they are very slick, they actually almost become indented in towards the foot creating an odd shape that probably isn't good for your posture and alignment at that point. Anyway, overall they are certainly comfortable and a style that seems to never go out of style, so they do have their good points but just think twice about the sole wearing so quickly.

These sandals are incredibly comfortable, if you size up. I originally ordered size 40 (I wear size 9 US) and my toes were right at the end. I ordered 41s, and they are so comfortable, right out of the box. They are also borderline narrow, which actually helps, if you have medium width feet and need to order a full size up for length, like I did.

Cute shoe. Runs full size small. Slate color is a pleasing neutral.

I usually wear a 9.5N. I ordered the 41, which should fit like a 10. My toes came right to the edge, but the width was perfect. Still, a little short, so I returned them and ordered a 42. This time, the length was perfect, as was the width of the foot bed, but the straps were too wide, so they are going back again.

These sandals run an entire size small. I usually wear a 9.5 (40) and I ordered a 10 (41), which was still a little short. I hope they come in a 42, or I will be out of luck. Also, they run narrow, which is good for me.

I have worn Naot shoes for several years, and usually find them very comfortable and, for the most part, true to size. As soon as these arrived, I was worried that they felt a little small (and I was leaving for a vacation where I planned to wear them frequently.) I exchanged them, and I'll write another review as soon as I wear them for a while! I have a feeling the flats run smaller than the wedges, as I have another pair similar to this that I'm exchanging for size.
