Customer Reviews Naot Kayla

I loved the look of these sandals on-line. I ordered the metallic color. When I opened the box, the first thing I noticed were the inconsistencies in the metallic finish. There were big black spots on the toe straps that looked like ink stains. I returned them and ordered a second pair. There were no dark stains on the leather this time, but the finish on the toe straps and the back straps were two different colors. The toe straps were an unnatural gold color and the back straps were a dark metallic. I returned the second pair today. I'm disappointed in the quality of the finish and the fit of these shoes. The first pair fit fine, and the straps on the second pair were too loose. I finally gave up on Naot and ordered a pair of Taos shoes.

I found the Oily Dune color very golden, not a medium tan as seen on my computer screen. So, I returned it for a another color. I want to really like this sandal since it is more money than I'm used to paying.

I wanted to like these shoes. But I had a very hard time being impressed by a $140 (+tax) sandal. I just couldn't do it, so back they go. Thanks for free shipping to/from Zappos!

Great shoe, very light-weight and attractive. However, it's very narrow. Had to return.

Although I have others, this pair didn’t feel comfortable. So I have returned them.

Liked the shoe but it "crunched" my bunions... Different fits for different folks. Arch support was good, shoe is attractive but didn't work for me.

this shoe was comfortable but decided not to be my style and it was a 1/2 size too small at least.

I don’t know what all the rage is about these sandals. The footbed is not cushioned enough and the leather strap at the arch of the foot rubs. For this price they should feel like clouds. But they don’t.

I really liked the look and feel of these shoes, soft leather with lots of support. They were too narrow for my foot (and I have a relatively narrow foot), they probably would have stretched with use but I'm too lazy for that. Had to return them.

On right shoe both straps of small toe area had dime-sized spots of color missing. Also, am going to try one size smaller to see if the heel strap sticks out less from foot. I think I have a short heel.

The sole offered no cushion, so it was like walking on cement. The leather straps were not ultra soft, and didn't fit correctly for my feet. These might work well for younger feet, however.

I love the support but the width left gaps in the straps. Wish they made half sizes. Sorry to be sending them back.

As many others have experienced, this style ran small for me. I typically wear size 39 in this sizing system, but my 4th toe was right at the tip of the size 39 and the strap was a bit snug across the widest part of my bigger foot. I sized up to the 40, which left more room at the top (about a half inch past my big toe) and more room for my toes to wiggle. However, because the 40 is not a snug fit, I ended up with blisters in a couple of spots due to the constant rubbing while walking around NYC this past weekend. I've never had foot blisters before. I also find that the ankle straps are not particularly comfortable. These are my first pair of cork bed sandals, so I am still getting used to the feel, but I found it supportive during long walks on pavement.

These shoes run small so consider this when ordering. I returned mine.

I love these, but the straps are just too big and my feet slide forward. I know that every pair is a little different, but this was already my second try. I might try again, as I really want them to work! I love the design and they are very comfortable for my problematic feet. Perfect amount of height and arch support.

I really liked these sandals, but unfortunately I seem to be lost between the size 36 and 37 — I’m a solid size 6 (US), and usually find the 36 (EU) is spot on, but in this style, my toes were popping over the front edge on both sides of the 36. But the 37 was a bit too big, with too much extra length in the toe bed. The straps in front were also just a bit on the loose side, and since they’re not adjustable, there was no way to fix that. I guess this style just wasn’t for me. They did seem like they’d be very comfortable — the footbed itself is dreamy soft! And there seemed to be a fair amount of support, so I think if they had fit they’d have been great walking sandals. The style is super simple and elegant, so it doesn’t look like your typical “walking sandal”, not clunky or overly fussy with straps and buckles and whatnot. Too bad about the sizing!!

Despite the fact that the shoe fits, the front curve does not accommodate the spread of my toes and my next to last toe hangs off uncomfortably. So sad because the firm cork footbed and good arch feel just right. loved the soft green/gray color. Different yet still reasonably neutral

narrow footbed

While this style is listed as one of Naot"s narrower ones, there was a huge gap between the straps and the top of my foot. I've worn this style before, but maybe in a size smaller. Even then the straps were loose and I had to have a shoe repair shop add extra Velcro to the ankle strap so that my foot didn't slide around in it. Really narrow feet are the pits to shop for!

I typically wear a size 8, and ordered these in both the 40 and the 39. I thought the 40 would fit given all the reviews about how these run small. 40s: 1 cm too long, straps around top of foot were way too loose. 39s: Too short! My little toes were overflowing over the edge. However, the straps around the top of my foot fit well. I think there's a pretty big jump between size 39 and 40. I'm sad I had to return these because I love the style a lot.

I was hoping to really like these shoes. However, they were a bit narrow for my foot (which is usually never a problem for me with shoes). Additionally, the velcro strap was not quite as stylish as I had hoped the sandals would be. I did really like the design of the shoe, felt like if would hold your foot securely while wearing!

I do a lot of city walking and the Kayla has always been great. Unfortunately, the fit on this pair was odd. I usually wear a 9 but ordered a 41 (EU) because of other reviews. The length was fine but the straps across my foot were really loose. They were about 1/2 inch higher than my foot. Also, as others have said, the Metal Leather is more bronze than silver. Too bad, these will be going back.

Cute but way too narrow for my feet. Had to get the wide version of this style. Wish there were just as many color options for the wide version!

I thought I would love the style and comfort of this shoe. I found that it just looked too old. It also ran exceptionally narrow and probably 1/2 size small.

Disappointed as the leather of this not is very stiff. I feel like the leather is not as high a quality as it used to be
