Great fit, loved the shoe and the arch support. Unfortunately, where the strap meets the shoe caused a small blister. Since I was planning on wearing these for long walking days I decided to return them.

What I had read in other reviews has been true for me, as well. This shoe is amazingly comfortable! I have happy feet all day when I wear mine. And it looks cute and not clunky. However, the surface has scuffed quickly (good thing brown polish is easy to find), and the Velcro patch on the shoe is much larger than it needs to be.

I've never ordered my shoes online, but had to resort to this since none of the stores had my size. I wear a normal 9.5 M/W...so with all the research noted a larger size on this shoe and it is too long; feels great, just too long and a bit "large" for a larger foot.

After reading many reviews of the Sea I ordered a 41. I used to wear a 9 but after getting orthotics 6 months ago was told I should wear a 9 1/2, which accommodates the orthotic inserts. Since the Naots don't come in half sizes I ordered up, but they are too big and I'm returning them for the 40. There's at least 1/4 inch extra length. I ordered the Matai at the same time and got a 40 since reviews said they ran big. I'm keeping them; toes could be a skosh roomier but they are comfortable and my orthotics fit in them. I don't agree that the Sea is ugly--yes they are cut high but that is to provide the support required for the orthotics which are also cut high. These aren't as "old lady" as some!

I am a fan of Naot and probably have about six pair of their shoes. I love every pair and they all fit fantastically -- always comfortable. I bought these for my upcoming trip to Italy, and I have worn them in preparation. They are extremely comfortable. I can wear them with athletic socks, so they are roomy; but I do have very thin feet already. I love that they have a higher platform than most comfort shoes, so they will be my dress shoes for my trip. I walked in them at an event this past week for a few hours, and they were super comfy. Love them! Naot are the best!

Comfy shoe but a little clunky. I often like a clunky look, and I liked the idea of this one, but in person it just didn't work for me. There is a lot of support in the footbed, but I found the Tiramu to be more comfy and less clunky. Of course, Zappos is the best! Quick delivery, easy returns, hilarious customer service.

I love the comfort and style of the shoes! However, the peacock/violet color, as much as I love it, is totally to be avoided. The toe box scuffs easily due to the way it's a bit pointy, which means that it is super-noticeable with the peacock shimmer. I love these shoes, but I wouldn't buy them in this color again, just because it's impossible to find a polish to make them look good!

These are great shoes, but a word of caution if you have a high instep like I do. I wore them around the house and they felt great, but once I started wearing them all day the strap caused a lot of pain in the top of my foot.

These are attractive in the Peacock shade. The size runs true. My problem with them is that my left foot has a high instep bone, thus they don't sit well in toe area. Discomfort ensues! A strap over that bone usually runs too tight, but loosening it makes the shoe not secure feeling! I believe that I might be able to redo the insole, and make them work on the left shoe. Another style might not require that? Undecided.

These shoes are very comfortable, particularly because of the cork footbed that molds to your foot as you wear the shoes. I have high arches and need good arch support, and these shoes are great. My only complaint is that the shoes have a tendency to squeak, and this sound comes and goes. Considering the high price of the shoes, this squeaking sound really shouldn't be there. But the shoes are very cute, and I was even able to wear them to a large conference where I was on my feet and walking around all day, and still look professional.

Good looking shoe, felt great until I started walking down my long house and felt my heel slip rather too much. Front felt perfect though. Color is bluish gray, quite pretty. Returning because of my narrow heels. The Naots I have successfully kept were both clogs so wish they would make more. They are often admired too!

I do believe these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had on my feet. Usually I come home and immediately kick off my shoes, as I prefer to be in socks, but with these, I keep them on into the evening because it's more comfy to wear them than to have them off. They're expensive, but so very worth it. I've gotten lots of compliments on how cute they are, but all I can rave about is how they're like a massage for my feet. My only complaint is that the toes have scuffed very quickly, which with black doesn't so much matter, but it's keeping me from buying a second pair in red, since that would be more noticeable.

Sadly, these Seas do not seem to have the flexibility of my black pair, and I have, like so many other NAOT fans, sensitive feet. They are really cute, but need to go back. Sniff.

These shoes are very comfortable, but the top-stitching is pink. I wish the description said that!

Loved the style and feel of the shoe. I would suggest you opt for a half-size smaller then usual. Also, beware the "steel" color is actually blue, not the gray I had hoped for.

The shoes are pretty good. I still have trouble with the left one pinching my little toes, so although I ordered these in two colors, I have only worn one pair -- waiting to see if I should keep the second. My Naot sandals are fantastic, so I'm disappointed that these are not as comfortable. Zappos, as always, is wonderful!

They look great and were totally comfortable from the moment I tried them on. No binding, rubbing or scrunching anywhere, even after a long day of walking. I have had a ton of compliments and a friend even asked me if they could try them on. The only minus is that Yes! They squeak! Whats up with that? I don\'t know. But it is a bit annoying. I hope it goes away soon.

Since this shoe is more a clog than other shoes I\'ve bought, I found it took a little more breaking in. But, once broken in I was able to walk all over New York city in comfort. I would highly recommend this show to anyone who has a high instep and has any problems with their feet.

This is a lovely shoe, but the velcro seems weak and for the price I do not want to wear it for a short while and then have a velcro malfunction. I would have liked it a half size larger, too.

I have a similar pair of Naots that I adore. They are black maryjanes. The new ones, Sea, are slightly longer and the toe is more angular. I still took the same size but they slip a little in my heel. I am keeping them though, because they look so funky and don't hurt. The Steel color is actually blue. It is great with jeans which was my plan all along.

I love these shoes. They are comfortable and have a good arch. The downside was that my husband said they looked like orthopedic shoes, so I bought another style. Note that NOAT shoes run slightly narrow, which was great for me. They also run a about a size larger than usual. That's the Europeans for you. However, NOAT's are incredible supportive and comfortable to wear.

I am so sorry to be returning these shoes! They are super cute, and the shoes fit well except for two problems, one of which is the deal breaker. The first and less bothersome problem is that the heels are too loose, but this is a problem for me with lots of shoes, and I can live with it. What I can't live with is the second problem, i.e., that the top of the toe box is stiff and hurts the top of my toes, which, despite surgery for hammer toes, still stick up enough to cause problems in some shoes. I don't think this would be a problem for anyone without similar problems. The shoe bed felt great, and the arch support was good. The strap fit snugly (unusual for my very narrow feet) and felt secure. So I'm returning these shoes because the toe box is not quite deep enough and is too stiff on top.

At first I LOVED this shoe, but the size was all off. I thought I could handle it, with out socks it seems ok, but with socks I feel like I am sliding all over the place. I think it is too wide.

These are my very first pair of Naots and I am blown away at the level of comfort. My feet have been awful ever since I was pregnant and I must have good supportive shoes or I am in horrible pain after walking or standing all day. After wearing these, my other stand-by comfortable shoes (Merrell boots, and Chaco sandals) feel horrible! After experiencing the comfort of the Naot footbed, I convinced my husband to buy a pair as well. They are pricey, but worth it! I do have a complaint though: I got the lovely peacock/violet combo, which I love, but the leather has worn extremely poorly. After one week of wearing, the toes are all scuffed up and since they are a metallic purple, I can not polish them with a standard shoe polish. At first I was really disappointed because I had hoped to wear these a long time, but I love the comfort so much, I have accepted the beat up exterior.
