Love these shoes! Great support, look good, and nice and cool for the hot, humid south. At first I thought the leather felt a little rough, but wore them out and about for a day and no problems or sores on my feet. I am flat footed with a medium width and they were fine. The strap does allow for tightening if they feel too loose or tight. Highly recommend. Expensive but if you have foot problems they're worth every penny!

Love these! I’ve previously owned the Mephisto Helen and Birks are either too big or too small on my flat overpronating size 11 feet. So far (one week) the Tahoe is my dream shoe. I need something to wear at home. Turns out going barefoot all the time during quarantine isn’t great for my feet. Tahoe felt stiff at first but within a day melded to my feet. Comfortable on carpeting and hardwood floors. Love the silver tone. They look sleek and I love the look of the toe loop. The heel cup is making a big difference in my overpronating strain! Very happy with this shoe.

I bought the NAOT Tahoe. I wear a size nine, so I bought the appropriate European equivalent size. It felt a bit stiff out of the box, wore it around the house a few minutes and its perfect. I love those cork soles and I love spending my hard earned money on something not made in China. I'll accept made in Israel, at least I know people are making a living wage and lets face it, Naot is a great shoe.

this is an excellent sandal, Id rate it a 15,but due to my back I need more support, I normally order the monnaray which has the correct amount of wedge for my back. these are the identical to the helen mephisto in style so I wanted to try these. But wont work for me, I'll order the mephitso in the place of these.

These shoes are the best! They have great support and a good secure foot bed. I have bad back and these help keep me standing correctly.

I ordered the Naot Tahoe in Buffalo leather and was really excited when they arrived the next day. Like all of my other Naot shoes, the color is beautiful and the workmanship outstanding. However, the width is just a wee-bit too narrow for my medium width feet. It was really sad to pack them up and send them back.

Love these shoes. I've had them for about 2-3 years now and have worn them pretty much constantly during the warm weather. Now the straps are falling apart a little but on the whole they are of great quality and so comfortable! Thank you Naot for making great sandals for high arched, narrow feet people!

Naot shoes are so comfortable. I was disappointed as this sandal was too narrow. I normally wear medium width. I had to return it.

I got these sandals in Purple Mirror...they are gorgeous in that color and believe it or not, go with everything! They do run narrow, but I am not returning them because I love them too much. I also found the wide strap to be a bit too constrictive on my instep, but after wearing them for a while, that pressure seemed to ease up. I hope they will become even more comfortable over time. They are too cute to return!!!

I am regretfully returning these beautiful sandals. The harsh stitching on the edges of all the straps is irritating to my skin. The stitching is not on the 'black patent' slides 00700 Tahoe shown in the Zappos illustration.

Became a fan of Naot, so had to order these for summer. Ordered the Memphisto and the Birks as well for comparison. Although I do like this sandal, the Memphisto won out. Yes, the Memphisto is more expensive, but with my feet, I went for it. I would not hesitate to order this sandal if you don't want to pay for the Memphisto. Another problem I had with this shoe is that it doesn't come in all the bright colors that the Memphisto does. The Birk didn't compare to either of these. Naot goes back, but I would still recommend for those of you who don't need or want the touch extra in the sole. The sandal felt narrow as well.

This shoe looks great and has a wonderful arch. I am a fan of Mephisto but I thought these were cute. I don't regret the purchase. A narrower fit than my Birkenstocks which flop off my slightly wide foot.

This shoe looks great and I get lots of comments on them. I was looking for an alternative to my 'old standard' Birky thong, which everyone seems to have nowadays. Comfort wise these do not compare. Toe thingy is a bit ouchy and they are not as stable as the Birkys. I would not choose these for long days, but definitely for short nights.

Strong support for the long arch in this model, but I find I need to supplement it with an insert that also gives metatarsal support. I also had to pad the strap to keep the metal buckle from digging into my foot. Aside from that, it's a comfortable sandal, though not as comfortable as models with elastic to ease top straps. I wish Naot would put some attention into finding new, more attractive styles.

This shoe is frickin' awesome. So comfortable--though I wouldn't want to walk for more than a few hours in it. The footbed breaks in really quickly, and the toe thing doesn't bother me at all. Plus, there isn't that annoying ridge right under the big toe that Birkenstocks have. The shoe isn't very stylish, but it's SO comfortable. Awesome shoe. I highly recommend it.

Comfortable but Narrow -
These sandals look great and feel comfortable but unfortunately they were too narrow for my wide feet so I had to return them.

I'm a Naot fan -
My podiatrist diagnosed tendonitis and put me in Naot shoes or one other brand--neither of which I knew. I thought, "Oh, dear. Ugly and dumpy." And then I tried the shoes on. My feet have never been so happy. I now have four pairs of Naot shoes and am a true convert to the comfort and support. I was not enthusiastic about the gold color of the Tahoe, but gold was the only available color--and because they were to be my inside-the-house shoe, I decided to buy them. I confess that I am both shocked and extremely disappointed to find after only three weeks of inside-only wear that the gold color is chipping off both shoes. I would surely not buy this shoe again. I am, however, contemplating my next pair of Naot shoes right now!

The only shoe made by Naot I’d be caught dead in! :)
It’s hard to find a really comfortable shoe that looks reasonably good. I am a recent convert to comfort shoes (usually preferring Gucci or Louboutin), but the Tahoe is worth wearing and it's got great support! I wish Naot and other comfort brands would consider trying some new talent!
So in short; it looks great, feels great, I love them.

I love the style and quality of Naots. I have a medium width foot and they are just too narrow for me. My little toe bumps against the outer edge. Birkenstocks are a better fit for my foot.

This is a beautiful shoe and as comfortable and supportive as all Naots that I've worn. I just have a low volume, bony foot and while the side strap adjusted fine, when it was pulled tight enough for my foot there was a big gap in the strap coming from the toe. Alas, these have to go back.

This was a disappointment for me because the sandal looked great. I really wanted to keep them. These just fit weird. If my foot sat perfectly in the middle of the footbed, my toes were too far away from toe strip, making it feel loose. As I walked, my foot naturally moved forward in the shoe, making my big toe overhang the front part and the heel too far in. They felt dangerously loose in that my foot did not feel secure in the sandals.

I am a die hard Naot fan. I ordered this style because I had injured the pinky toe of my left foot. On the left sandal, the raised rim of the footbed touched the tips of my third and fourth toe in the most irritating way. When I compared sandals, I could see that the footbed curve was cut slightly narrower for the left foot. One the same sandal, there\'s also a tiny bit of pressure on my big toe because the diagonal strap is not attached to the footbed at the proper angle. This being said, I chose to keep the sandals because I needed the arch support. However,whoever was in charge of quality control at Naot, dropped the ball on this one.

I'll keep on trying -
My biggest problem with this type of shoe has always been the piece of fabric between the toes. Usually it is thick and very uncomfortable for me. The Naot Tahoe is perfect. And I love the adjustable strap. However, the arch support bothers me quite a bit. I will try to wear them and mold the shoe to my foot. If this doesn't work, I will give them to my daughter!

These are definitely a more narrow sandal, despite their seeming similarly styled with Birkenstocks. My feet did not fit on them well at all, which was unfortunate because the arch support felt quite nice; however there was still more wrong with these than right. They felt very stiff to walk in, no give in the sole. And then the leather - SO stiff. It hurt between my toes and didn't have any give across my foot. I expected a much softer leather and a more flexible sole, but these did not deliver. Style-wise, they were cute, but unfortunately I need function more than I need form.

My foot is small-boned, so the height of the leather was about 1" higher than the profile of my foot. Then the piece of leather between the toes is so painful that it felt like a sharp piece of plexiglass. Sadly, they had to go back. Zappos is super with returns and delivery.
