Customer Reviews Naot Kayla

I was very sad that this shoe didn't work for me because I like Naots a lot. But there is only the ankle adjustment and the second footstrap is too tight if you have a high instep. The white is nice and bright so if that isn't a problem it will probably look good, although the soles are pretty casual-looking.

Shoes are at least 1/2 to 1 size too small. They also run narrow. I wear an 8 1/2 or 9, so ordered the 9. But my toes stick off the end and are crowded. These may be comfortable, but am not going to try different size, as they really aren't very cute to wear with skirts or shorts.

Length way too short! Usually wear 41 (past Naots fit great) but am returning for 42. Style and comfort great.

I received these as a Mother's Day gift. I have owned several pair of Naots in the past and loved them all. But not these. Something did not feel quite right with the fit of the right foot. I don't have any foot abnormalities so I'm not sure why the strange fit. The style is "okay"...probably not something I would have chosen for myself. And I do not believe they are worth the price!

I have had two pairs of these, and both times the front straps stretched out so much that my foot was not supported. The first time I didn't open the back strap when putting on and taking off the shoes and was told that was why the front straps stretched out. With the second pair I was careful to open the back strap every time I put on or took off the sandals -- and the front straps still stretched out! My feet swim around in them after the first few wearings. Very disappointing since I think the shoes are really pretty. But they are not good for narrow feet. From now on I will get sandals with adjustable front straps.

These are great, versatile, comfortable sandals I bought to wear while teaching at a camp this summer. I purchased the Steel color, which turned out to be a really cool metallic blue that looks great with jeans, skirts, and much of my summer wardrobe. That said, I'm a little disappointed by the amount of wear to the soles in less than two months of wear. Granted, I do walk quite a bit in my daily commute, but the tread is worn from the heel and the ball of the foot, making these very slippery to wear if the ground is even a little bit damp. I'm not sure it this problem is mine alone, as I haven't seen any reviews mentioning it yet. I'm curious how long the tread has lasted for others' shoes. I would love to own another pair of these shoes, but ideally not as a replacement so soon after buying the first pair.

I loved these sandals when I bought them. Great support and cute. But I've had them for several months and now the velcro strap won't stay fastened. As I walk it gradually comes undone. I'm very careful about how I fasten it, but nothing helps. It's gotten so I can't wear them anymore. And the rest of the sandal is hardly worn. Frustrating -- for such expensive shoes, I expected better.

I wanted to like these as I purchased another pair of Naot slip-on sandals that I love. However, I have a narrow foot and narrow heel and while I could fasten the velcro tight enough around my ankle, my heel was still slipping. Also, although they are the same size as my other Naot's, my toes were at the very tip of these shoes. I could have still worn them, but between that and the heel issue I had to send them back. Love the feel of Naot's, however, and I'm going to look for another pair. For reference, I normally wear a size 9.5, and these were a 41.

I really wanted these to work because they're cute and I like the cork footbed and the stability of the shoes. Sadly, they are just too narrow. I have Morton's toe, and so my toe just sticks right over the edge of the shoe, so uncomfy.

These are so great but they are too narrow. I wish they made a wide version of these shoes. I have just barely wider than average feet due to a bunion - but not that wide in general. These were way too narrow. The size up was too long. But the cloud-like shock absorbing sole is amazing! I wish they fit!

Love this sandal. Dressy enough to wear with pants to the office, casual enough to wear with jeans. I had it in tan suede and wanted another pair. The style and fit are terrific. Unfortunately, the right sandal has developed a "squeak" whenever I step on a hard floor which is awkward at work. Still I love them so much I'm going to order another pair and return the squeaky ones.

Loved the color on line but sandals arrived much differently then shown Had to return 2 pairs. Very disappointed. They fit great but color was off.

These are, as many reviewers have said, very comfortable. I need a comfy sandal to take to Italy next summer. This, while comfortable, is being returned...it is not as stylish as I was hoping it would be. The hunt for a comfy and good-looking sandal continues.

I bought these in copper in my normal size. I had to return them because they were too narrow and just slightly too short. I thought the copper color was more brown than it looks in the photo here. I ordered a size up in the black embossed and the fit is good and color an improvement, but I still find these slightly frumpy. Right out of the box the footbed is very comfy but they definitely do need breaking in. Compared to other comfort shoes, they are nice looking but I don't love how they look on my feet. I will be returning them and keeping the Elinor style instead.

I love Naot sandals and wear them all the time. However, they weren't long enough; my toes hung over the ends. Very dissapointing as I had to return them.

They're really nice shoes, but the toe box is way too narrow - even narrower than many of my non-comfort shoes! Will be sending these back, unfortunately.

Nice but a bit tight across my foot. I can tell that if it was hot, they would be too tight!

I'm a little undecided about these shoes. I would say that they run a little small. I normally wear 6.5 or 7 in most shoes and ordered a 37 in these. They seem just half a size small. Being that they don't come in half sizes, I don't know if I'll just return them or order a 38 to see how those fit. I'm also not sure about the velcro fastener. I think a buckle would be cuter. I was also expecting them to be a little wider, similar to Birkenstock, but these are a little narrower.

Based on my other three Naot shoes, I figured this one, with its glowing reviews, would be great. But my toes nearly hung off the front and my fairly narrow size 11 foot felt a little squished, so they're going back, unfortunately. A 43 will be too wide. The style is simple and elegant, but it doesn't fit like the others. Disappointing.

After reading glowing reviews and as the owner of three pair of Naots, I was ready to pop the Kayla on and go. However, it was too small! The 42 had my toes nearly hanging off the front edge, and even my fairly narrow foot was a tad squished on the footbed. It's got the wonderful Naot arch and soft leather, but the sizing is off. I probably won't reorder, as the 43 is likely going to be too wide and the toe straps are not adjustable.

I recently bought a pair of black leather Kayla's and really like them. I thought it would be nice to have another pair that was a bit more dressy - thus I ordered the black reptile patent style. I was quite surprised how thin the patent was. It looks like it is just glued onto a piece of rubber and the edges may easily fray. I may be too critical since I've never had a pair of patent sandals before, but for now I'll just stay with the leather ones.

I like this sandal very much, and I have problem feet. The cork sole works as well as the orthotic I use in boots and running shoes. I was able to walk a lot in it until: My disappointment comes with regard to the velcro fastener -- and I have had this problem before with a Wolky sandal so I have been avoiding velcro now it is dominating the market. The velcro just does not last so I have to keep bending down and re-attaching the strap, which also stretches so that the sandal is now not as easy to wear. Would the leather be less stretchy? And how about making a sandal with a buckle strap for those of us who like to wear our shoes for a while? I note that your other shoes also have velcro fasteners -- what am i to do, I really like your shoes. The other thing I would like to see is a lace up boot. It seems that all the brands copy each other when it comes to style so that some styles disappear -- some of us don't like curved up toes, still think rounded toes are more visually pleasing like some old cars.

I have very flat feet and I developed plantar fasciitiis. Looking for shoes for these conditions, I was excited to find these sandals. However, they have too much arch support that is painful for me, otherwise the footbed feels great, and the leather straps are very confortable and soft. Runs very small, I normally wear a 10 and the 41 was still small.

Fit Variance - I ordered four of these in different colors. Each shoe felt like the band width was different. They are not reliable. Although the one pair that does fit feel great.
