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.

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.

I have these in copper and they go with everything! They are my go-to travel sandal, BUT I hate that the straps are loose and my foot flops around in the sandal. I have a narrow heel and the looseness is especially bad in the ankle area. I took then to a cobbler and he said there is not fix. So I love the comfort and color, but don't think I'll buy another. I will have to look for a 3 strap sandal like the Aravon Katy, even though it looks pretty geriatric.

I typically wear a narrow, but can sometimes wear a medium depending on the style. The straps were much too wide for my foot. In my opinion, it's a generous medium size.

These are the BEST. I struggle with plantar fasciitis and painful heel spurs which have caused such pain at times that I have been forced to stop any unnecessary walking, which is so hard to do because of my work and my love of travel and outdoor activities. So many shoes and sandals just add to the pain or exacerbate my heel spurs. I have tried many comfort shoes that have not worked and was hesitant to buy these because of the price but they have literally saved me! We took a trip to Germany and Austria last summer and walked up to 9 miles each day. My heel spurs never hurt! We did the same thing in Paris this summer and I took 2 pairs of these - the black and metallic. These literally go with everything and look great. I want comfort AND style and these are perfect. Now I'm ordering Naot winter boots and shoes so I'll have them year round and hopefully manage my heel spurs without surgery. Thank you Naot and Zappos for the wonderful shipping and customer service policies!

This is a really well made shoe and I like the design and fit but unfortunately the straps were just a little too wide and rubbed on my back ankles awkwardly. I ordered the 40 which is a 9 but seemed more like an 8 1/2

I have a normal to wide foot. I ordered my regular size and found them too narrow and a bit short. I ordered the next size up and they fit much better in both length and width. I like the cushioning they provide. I also like the velcro closure.

These sandals are comfortable right out of the box and fit my narrow feet well. I do wish the velcro strip was a bit longer so that the strap that crosses over the top didn't stick out (just a bit). They look good with casual pants or shorts or skirts. They fit true to size.

This shoe is better looking on than in the pictures, but I found these run small. In other brands with euro sizing, I am pretty consistently a 43, sometimes a 42. I took a 44 in these shoes. I measured the length because the 44s did not seem much longer than the 43s. I found the 43s ran 11"/28 cm; the 44s ran 11.5"/29 cm. I think the way the foot bed curves at the edges makes them feel smaller than they are.
If I keep them , I will keep the 44s, but I am still considering. I like the look of other sandals much better, but they don't come in my size. Unfortunately, with my size the selection is limited.

I just got these shoes in the mail yesterday. My ideal shoe size is an 11 1/2 but have to purchase a 12 in most cases since half sizes don't really exist in the land of big feet. I ordered the 12 (43) in this shoe and they are definitely too short. Have sent them back for the 13 (44). I have never in my life worn a size 13, so make sure to order a full size up on this shoe. With that said, the shoe seems very comfortable and I really like the look of them. I'm 46 and struggle to find shoes big enough and comfortable that don't look like a 'grandma shoe'. These were 'approved by my teen daughter.

I have several pair of Kaylas. Other than my Brooks Addiction Walkers with Walking Company Orthotics, these are my go to shoes. I love the cork footbeds that are Naot's signature. I have a very flat foot, and the arch is strong for me. My foot is also low volume, so as the leather stretches a little across the front of the foot, I add foot petals to the footbed for a more secure fit. I wear a size 10 in Aravon, a 10.5 narrow in Brooks, and the 41 in these sandals is just barely long enough for me. This was the reason I only gave 4 stars overall. I am afraid to go up a size as this would make them too loose across the instep. I have extremely difficult feet to fit, but these are darn near close to perfect.

These are very comfortable and also quite pretty sandals. They go well with jeans and shorts. My one issue is the large, prominent "NAOT" stamped on the strap, which shows up comparatively light in the photos on this site. It is extremely ugly and I'm glad I don't see it from the top, though others can see it when I sit. Hoping to lighten it somewhat with nail polish remover.

I ordered a 39 and should have ordered a size up as recommended by other reviews.
This is truly a narrow shoe that almost fit
my 8 1/2 AA foot, (my long toe did not have
enough room). Beautiful construction
leather and color.

Very comfortable. They have a slightly clunky look but not as bad as other comfortable sandals. I wore them for the first time for a full day at graduation activities in the heat and they were great.

Great looking shoe, and comfortable. However, I wear a US size 11, or European 42. Based on the reviews I ordered a 43. I have a medium width and these were fine for me( I even have a bone issue on the right and they were plenty wide for my foot. I had to send the shoe back because my toes still came over the edge enough to make me feel they were too short. I needed them for Europe and 12 hour walking days in Italy. That would not have worked with these shoes. If I had time I would have ordered up a half size if it was available.

I thought I would save others with similar feet to mine the trouble of ordering and returning for a poor fit. My feet are narrow and low volume. Despite others' comments that this shoe runs narrow (and the actual width fits well), it is still too roomy, volume-wise, for my type of foot. Also, I wear a size 9 1/2, ordered a 41, and my toes are right at the end of the shoe.

These shoes are so cute and so comfortable! Perfect for my upcoming trip to Europe where I'll be doing a lot of walking. After ordering several different colors I decided on the stone nubuck because it goes with everything and can be dressed up or down. I walk a lot and have plantar fasciitis so need something with a lot of support. I've worn these shoes almost every day for the past 2 weeks and only have one complaint which is why I'm going with 4 stars instead of 5 - they are already starting to come apart where the back strap meets the velcro strap! Disappointing considering the price. I may try and reinforce them myself with a needle and thread. I was hoping they'd get me through this summer and more.
