Customer Reviews Naot Sea

Finally - At last I have found good comfortable well made shoes. They are a little funkier than I had in mind (please, Naot, make a version of this with black stitching- like you did with the Matai) but they work with jeans or skirts and they really fit! Cushioning AND arch support! My poor feet (I have plantar fasciitis and metatarsalgia) rarely get both. And never in a cute shoe! Plus my orthotics fit fine in these shoes if I want to use them, but so far I have not needed them.

Soo Comfortable!!! These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. They are great for work, but funky too.

I love them! Great arch support!

Unbelievably comfy and cute - These shoes really are comfortable. I've had them a few weeks and really don't want to wear any of my other shoes. They haven't scuffed as other reviewers have stated. My only complaint is the fact that I didn't know the stitching would be pink. But even that has grown on me. The straps should have been made a little longer so that when you pulled them, the velcro wouldn't shoe but I'm fairly certain it will stretch over time anyway. I'll definitely buy more Naots in the future-- I just wish they were less expensive.

Just what I needed! I was desperately trying to find a pair of shoes that could go with business casual work clothes, comfortable enough for daily walking/train commuting, and did not cause any additional pain (I have a recent foot sprain and have lots of pain with other shoes). The insole comes out easily if you were orthotics, but I find their insole more comfortable than my orthotics. And the other reviews are right about the sizing, they run a tad big, I wear a 9 1/2 and the 9s fit perfect. Best of all – they are so darn cute!!

Love this shoe! Normally wear US 8 1/2 or 9, but I took the advice of others & got the US 8 equivalent. Fit is snug, but not too tight and the leather is soft. Love the cushion-y support of the foot bed. Put off getting these because of the cost, but no regrets once they were on!

Naots "Sea" rocks! I have wide feet with high instep and pronation. On top of that I am pregnant and my feet are swelling so much. I have to say these shoes are the best! I bought the black with pink stitching, and they are so comfortable. No breaking in required. The strap makes the fit adjustable and they are also much more stylish to look at than other comfort shoes that I've had to buy (and I've spent a fortune on comfort shoes that end up being uncomfortable). These are suitable for the office (I work in marketing for a biotech company). I Would definitely recommend them if you have similar foot problems.

Best. Shoes. Ever. The reason Moses wandered for forty years in the desert was that he was wearing a pair of Naot shoes and didn't want to have to take them off. I got two pairs of shoes in the same shipment, one Naot and one Dansko. I didn't try the Danskos on for two hours because the Naots felt so good. These are excellent shoes for folks with high arches, wide toes, and narrow heels. Plus, they're kind of funky looking, but not over the top. I love them.

Stylist, comfortable, well made - I have high arches, high insteps and bunions - not to mention a bad back and arthritis knees - I cannot say enough about this absolutely cute, stylish, comfortable shoe. It has an extremely good arch support, but if you'd rather use an orthodics you may do so. I will buy more styles.

Fun shoes that make me smile! Did I need these shoes? No! Did I feel compelled to buy them? Yes! Do I have them on this very minute? Yes! They make me smile and already are favorites.

This shoe fit fine but wish it did not have the swirl on top of the toe portion. Would have kept them if the velcro straps did not cut into the top of my foot. It extended slightly beyond the narrow straps and was so painful I could not walk in them. Maybe someone with tougher skin could wear them. I have extremely sensitive skin, even on my feet, and really find it difficult to find comfortable shoes.

Loved shoe except I wish it did not have the swirl decoration on top. Shoe fit but I was so upset that the velcro on the straps was slightly exposed and scratched the top of my foot, and I could not bear to even walk in them. This is not usual for a brand like Naot to make a strap this poorly. Maybe someone who has tougher skin could wear these, but I have always had delicate skin even on my feet and often find it hard to find comfortable shoes. These were comfortable except for the velcro straps. All my shoes have been adjustable velcro straps but they have never hurt.

i wore these shoes in size 35 for decades and now, these are too small. not in the length but the top where the toes are is so narrow it hurts me. I Have Naot shoes in 35 I bought in the past 8 months and they fit fine.

i wore these exact shoes in size 35 for decades. literally. i got these shoes in a 35 and a 36 and the 35 was too small and the 36 too large. i bough tthe 35 bc i thought i could walk in them unlike the 36 which were too big and i tripped on my feet. So, now...these shoes seem to be cramping my feet at the top of my toes where it feels too small not in the length. They really hurt....I am so upset bc now these shoes are discontinued so what will happen to me if i can wear my favorite shoes? this was my last chance to solve my problem .....I have no idea what changed in the manufacturing process. So, sadly I Will return them and seek similar shoes that do not have a very small toe box. What a complication.

Loved the wide toe box but slipped a little on the heel even with a sock and gapped a little across the top of the foot.

On the left shoe, the arch support was 3/4” forward from where my arch began. Didn’t quite fit.

Didn’t quite fit.

Sadly, the arch on the left shoe came 3/4 inch forward from my foot’s arch, resulting in discomfort. I have always loved this shoe.

The shoe itself was wonderful. Toe box was roomy and insole was very comfortable. HOWEVER, the strap across the instep is too short, and the hook part of the hook and loop that is on the shoe itself (not on the strap) remains exposed by about 5/8”-3/4” after the strap is fastened. Will catch on anything my foot brushes against. And be unsightly. SOOOOOO disappointed!

These are great shoes and the fit is nearly perfect, the width on the left shoe is slightly loose on my foot but the Velcro strap helps make this work. The sewing around the flower design is pink, this was not noticeable online but it will still work.

They seem comfortable after wearing a couple of days at a conference. The Velcro snags things if any loops are exposed, and on the left forefoot the sole wasn’t fully bonded to the shoe body. They don’t vent as well as danskos, so if your feet sweat they seem to get a little clammy. Otherwise they’re cute and comfy.

This iis my second pair of Naot Seas. The first pair lasted ten years, and in retrospect I only donated it because the heels were worn down far enough to make me more bowlegged; I probably could have resoled them. Obviously they are a favorite shoe. I felt funny giving it only 4 stars on some factors when it is so good. Comfort in Naot's "Shell" footbed is excellentexcellent and padded more than the Leveche, which I returned for feeling so thin and unpadded. I would still love it if they were even cushier, but they are softer and more padded than Mephistos or Birkenstocks cork rubber soles. I have high arches and can usually feel nothing but air under my arch - these are not as high as I would like, but better than most. There is room in the toe box width to be comfortable. For size reference, I am just a skoshi shy of 7 and just a skoshi shy of wide on the Brannock foor measures. Thhis explains why I wear a 7 almost always except in a few 6.5 dress shoes, and prefer a wide boot but don't need one, but also shy away from long narrow boots. How this is relevant to you: the European sizing that might make you think they do not run true to size. I call myself "a perfect 37" . Except for a few Keens that even Keen says run small, it is 37 year in, year out, ten years on a pair of Seas and starting the next one. However! You will note that Naot size charts say that a 6 is a 37. Or if you are a 7 and order a 38, you will then review the shoes as "runs large". They do not! Their size chart is off! And so many other shoemakers too. Nope, they run true to size. 37, 37, 37, 37. Find your European size and do not let their weird goofy size charts keep making you review sizes wrong and send stuff back for the next size down!

Thought these would fit fine but the left one was much tighter than the right. Was disappointed as I have found Naot shoes to be so comfortable.

This is a cuter version than most mary jane type shoes, in my opinion. I purchased it based on reviews that it was more comfortable than the Naot masai. For me, the masai fits much better and has a subtler profile. I also did not really care for the burnished swirl on the top.

This is a well-constructed shoe and it is becoming my go-to shoe for work. I like the fit and the stylish accents which give the shoe a little personality. this is the first time I've bought Naot, and i feel the workmanship is good. I would buy it again or recommend to my friends.
