Customer Reviews Naot Sea

These are said to be on a medium to wide last...if your foot is really wide...not wide enough! When I first put these on my reaction was wow, most comfortable shoes I have ever worn! After a few hours on my feet, one shoe pinched on a "bunionette"...very cute and well made, but I can't wear them on days when I will be on my feet constantly. That said, I will probably buy another pair in a different color.

You must try this shoe. Honest! High marks (very!) on comfort, metatarsal support, stability, and yes, even cuteness. I have (again, very!) problematic feet and this shoe is a true find. Try it!

Pros: Well made, stable, a true wide, European sizing is great for those of us with "in-between" sizes. Quality leather and insoles. Removable insoles. Very wide toe box makes for happy feet! Cons: The cost. Also, Mary Jane-type strap could be uncomfortable if you have a high instep. My Experience: I bought the Naot Sea several years ago at the kibbutz in Israel where they are made, for about $40 US (hence my complaint about the cost). I wear them almost daily! The last they are made on is a wider one, so if you have small duck feet like mine you might like them! I bought a size 37, which is a US 6. (I say it's good for "in-between" sizes because I need a 6W or 6.5W or 7W depending on the brand.) These just fit. I have to wear the strap a bit looser because I have a high instep, but that's not a dealbreaker. The arch support is pretty good, and the footbed easily removable if you need to use orthotics. Naot also sells replacement footbeds.

I love these shoes. So comfortable. They look cute too with the detailing. Even though they are comfort shoes, the detailing makes them look not like grandma's shoes. I have a wider fore foot and these fit great. So comfortable!

Very nice shoe if you want a little bit of height without a heel. I think it runs just a tad big, but that could just be that I'm not used to wearing such a roomy shoe. I work in a professional atmosphere and it's okay for everyday, but I wouldn't wear them to an interview as I don't think they are quite dressy enough. Looks cute with jeans and you can definitely walk all day in them - very good support.

Naot shoes are a 6 out of 5 stars! I have worn other brands of "comfort" shoe and Naot shoes are by far the best. The quality is nicer than I expected, the styling far cuter than as depicted in the image and the comfort is the most I have ever experienced. I will not go back to other brands now. Get these shoes! Naot is the best!

I bought this shoe several years ago, when I was still working in the office. I wore them most of the time, the black suede and shiny black leather with pink stitching was the perfect complement to the cute a-line skirts I favor. They're also cute with jeans and trousers. Super comfy for walking around downtown, to and from the train, and they were comfortable after I recovered from plantar fasciitis. Fast forward to present day, I've been working my same job from home now for several years, and these were relegated to the back of my closet, as I mostly wear running shoes or flip flops (super casual). Well, this summer has been the summer of running injuries, physical therapy and podiatrists! I developed a stress fracture and Morton's neuroma, and my podiatrist ordered me to wear running shoes 24/7. I'm just about healed, and he told me "no heels, no flip flops, only comfort shoes!" And I thought, "hey, I have my Naots!" So they're back in my life and on my feet. I recently came back from a weekend trip where we walked a lot, but wanted to wear cute shoes instead of my running shoes, these babies fit the bill, and after 8 years, they still look like new. Since my feet seem to be more delicate now, I'll have to invest in another pair, maybe some sandals for summer.

Tried these on as soon as I got home from work and my feet were instantly comfortable! I was limping from severe heel pain until I got these on my feet. They fit like they were custom made. For the past 3 months I have been unable to find shoes that I could wear to work all day that were this comfortable and still had some style - these are so cute and funky they will be perfect with summer dresses and skirts. One of the best features is the soft suede back edge - no painful rubbing on the back of my ankles. Absolutely worth every penny.

Just bought my second pair after trying on a whole bunch of other shoes at around this price and finding nothing comparable in comfort. I have wide feet and fallen arches so need a supportive shoe. These feel like a slipper! There is another brand, Finn Comfort, that is comparable in feel; however, almost 2 times the price and not as good looking.

I have been searching for a shoe that I could walk for a long time in(I get at least 10,000 steps a day), would be wide enough to accommodate my wretched bunion, and had a heel of around 2 inches so I could wear it with longer inseams BUT also be very stable for walking. I've tried so many shoes and most of them killed my bunions. I think these shoes are going to be it! They are wide enough for my bunion and super comfortable for walking. They almost have a 2 inch heel. I feel totally stable when walking. I do wish it had a slightly higher heel. They precariously straddle the line between funky and orthopedic grandma shoe. I personally think they come out more on the side of funky, but there is that orthopedic element. Overall, a lovely comfortable shoe for those of us with problem feet.

I am a barber and these are my work shoes. I had the Surf for 2 years and now these have replaced them. Great work shoe.

Bought these with the credit I had from some Keen shoes I had returned that didn't fit well. They are very comfortable and I find myself wearing them nearly every day to work. This is my second pair of Naots and I especially like the arch support. I wish Naot shoes were on sale because they are more expensive than I typically pay.

This is so cute and incredibly comfortable. I spent hours on my feet making our Christmas dinner and never tired of wearing these shoes. I was concerned they would look clunky but they definitely do not.

Sea in steel-grey and black - the perfect not black shoes. I wanted something different from my usual black shoes. These look super with blue, navy, grey, and yes, black. Love Naots - I must have over a dozen pairs - look great, fit me perfectly, and wear like iron. I love Zappos! I am a VIP! I bought a pair of Naot shoes, mistakenly ordered 36 instead of 37, my usual size in that brand. I ordered two pairs of this brand - only wore the correct ones that were 37. Three months later, I tried on the 36 (never had worn them) and realized that they were the wrong size. No problem! I called Zappos and although they were out of my size in that style the customer helper said to look at Sea. That was perfect. The next day the happy Zappos box on on my front porch - and I had called on the weekend so I did not expect the shoes until Tuesday. How do they do that? I do not care how, but I care that they do!

Returned this shoe for next size down, Good arch support and excellent pro nation support. Beautiful stylish show I look forward wearing for casual and dress.

I bought these shoes specifically to wear on a long, walking holiday in France and couldn't be happier with them. My feet never hurt and that's a wonderful, wonderful thing. Great walking shoes and very stylish in a clunky kind of way. They are large in the heel for me, so I put some gel inserts in to keep them from flopping and that was fine, even though they still moved a bit on my heel (but never hurt). I can't be happier with this shoe. In black, it didn't scuff and they got rained on, stepped on and put to a rugged test on this vacation. No problem with the velcro strap I read others complain about. They run a little big, but that benefitted me when my feet would swell after 12 hours of walking over cobblestone streets in Paris. These shoes are marvelous!

The shoes are very attractive, especially with the short heel. I wore them for about five hours the first time, and they were extremely comfortable.

This my first pair of Naot's and it won't be my last! Right out of the box these shoes felt like a pair of supportive slippers. Pricey, but if you have foot problems you know the price you pay in pain when wearing uncomfortable shoes. I have the beginning of a bunion on one foot and a ligament problem with the other.

I love these shoes. They are super cute, both with dresses and pants. The mj strap is adorable and great for fitting, and the swirl looks good under pants. I am a true US size 7 and unfortunately the 38 is huge and my foot slips, while the 37 is too tight and my toes hits. I had a 37 on one foot and a 38 on the other, and the 38 looked 2 sizes bigger than the 37. I so wish this came in a 7. I would buy pairs in several colors. Had to return them due to sizing.

My husband surprised me with these new shoes. They are awesome! The best I have ever worn. Great comfort and very accurate sizing. They look really great with my denim jeans. I think they will be cute with a skirt too. They are so stylish. Thank you Naot! Thank you sweetie!

These shoes are so comfy right out of the box. I have high in steps and because these have a very adjustable strap, they work great for me. Also - no elastic to slowly stretch out and break on the strap (a problem I have with almost all buckle and strap shoes). I bought the purple looking ones and I was a little worried they'd be too daring, but it turns out they aren't nearly as purpley in person - more of a subtle maroon and not at all iridescent. Great shoe!

What a lovely surprise these shoes turned out to be! Since I have wide feet I usually only buy wide widths. I saw these shoes on Zappos and they looked from the picture and other reviews to have a nice wide toe box. Because of my wide feet, I have problems finding shoes with enough depth in the toe box. These shoes have not only enough width but depth so that when I bend my foot, the shoes don't pinch down on my instep. You really need to see these shoes in person because they are very stylish and comfortable right out of the box. The leather is soft, not stiff, and there is a lot of support for the arch. Nice stitching on the top of the shoes. I purchased the shiny black style. These are well-made shoes and I am very pleased!

This is my second pair of these wonderful shoes. I have difficult feet and I wear these every day for our walks. Very comfortable, very durable. Nice broad toes for all kind of problems. I will be buying my third pair shortly.

This is my second pair of Naot Sea in less than two years. The first one was in peacock violet, this one is in black. I have extremely sensitive feet, the balls of my feet don't have enough cushioning, and these shoes are the best kind of casual shoes that look elegant yet very comfortable. Excellent for travelling and walking on cobbled stone streets. It's true to size and width. Arch support is perfect.

These "Sea" shoes by Naot are the very best. I own them in every color and have started to replace them. They don't really wear out but get scuffed after time.
