Customer Reviews Naot Kumara

The fit was fine, the leather nice but the shape of the vamp looked very awkward.

Loved these shoes but they run small returned.

I have several pairs of Naot shoes with this style that fit my narrow feet but these are just overall too wise, especially in the heel and across the instep. Even tightening the laces as far as possible did not help. Too bad, these are cute shoes.

Love the look but even with socks and my orthotic the heel is very wide and slips and slides. Order one size larger because they run quite small, unusual for Naot.

There was zero arch support in this shoe, which I don't expect from Naot. And, the left shoe was cut strangely and pooched out.

Returned 1st pair flaw in tongue of one/ 2nd pair different fit totally-size ok but very stiff& heels rub-Wearing on carpet to see if they get more comfortable & less stiff- not sure yet.

Ordered the white version for summer. Loved the look and the fit of the right shoe. Unfortunately, the left seemed much wider, a little longer and there was a deep wrinkle in the instep -- I think because the hole for the lace had been punched incorrectly. Really sad that I have to return these as defective, and disappointed because Naot is one of my go-to brands.

These don't work for me, so they're going back. I read the reviews that said they run large, so I ordered a size down and they were too small. I ordered the size up, and they were a bit too big. I wish Naot did half sizes! A couple of other observations: the back is very high and angled in, so it was rubbing the back of my ankle - not comfortable. The soles are comfortable, but the uppers have zero structure to hold in my foot. I felt like my foot was left to flop around as I walked. If they had more seaming and structure to the upper it would have been better. Overall, they're cute, but they didn't fit me and they wouldn't have given enough support to my feet for serious walking.

Lovely soft shoe with plenty of room for my toes (I have narrow heels, wide toes). But there's design flaw here: it's almost impossible to get my foot into the shoe wearing socks, because the foot bed is some rough material that catches and holds the sock and very nearly prevents me from sliding my foot in! If I do succeed, my toes are horribly cramped in front from the foreshortened sock that refuses to let go of the footbed. Happens with both wool and cotton socks. Not good for an athletic shoe.

I just received these shoes. They are nice looking, but they are not right for my feet. I have a special orthodic prescribed by my doctor and after I took the insert out, it was just like a light sneaker, not worth the price. Also, I asked for a high toe box and this doesn't have one. i found the shoe considerably shorter than my other size 39's. I am sending them back.

These are spiffy looking sneaker-replacements. The info indicated that they run large so to order a size smaller than normal. I did that, and they fit just fine -without socks. However, this is a type of shoe I would like to wear with socks and they were too snug even with thin trouser socks. I have a wide foot. I am returning them and continuing the search for a cute sneaker type shoe that I can wear in the winter with socks.

All of the positive reviews swayed to order this shoe. Was disappointed. Shoe runs large and looks huge on my foot.

Almost wonderful. I followed the recommendations and ordered smaller than usual. The shoes look lovely and the left shoe felt fine. The right shoe, however, was tight and I measured--the right shoe leather was narrower than the left. I will reorder two pairs-one in the small size, another in my regular size. I am hopeful that this time I will get matched shoes.

These are so cute and the footbed is great but the back of the shoe is high and stiff and rubbed the back of my ankles.

I returned these shoes because the high heel counter dug into my heel. I think they are a kicky style and I love the color but the Naot Lalo was so much better.h

I love Naot and have worn their sandals for years. I easily have 5 different pairs. This was my first try at a sneaker type shoe. I was disappointed in its sizing and did notice mixed reviews on sizing up. I would recommend doing that. The shoe was also much narrow than expected making for quite an uncomfortable shoe. I bought it for support and found that sorely lacking too. Sigh. I returned them.

I can wear them all day in total comfort.

The best shoes I have ever worn. I have 4 or 5 pairs in different colors. I live in these shoes. I don’t even bother with other brands. I end up returning them.

The material is very soft.

This is my 3rd pair, great looking always get asked where purchased, brand, comfortable support fit

I rated the shoe well because I love it and I think it is probably close to being true to size however I have a difficult foot to fit. The 8 shoe is too long. I need a wide (which isn't available) and I may be inbetween 7.5 and 8 for length in this shoe.

I have narrow skinny feet and my heels slipped no matter what I did, wish they fit, nice shoes! Nice padding and arch support. I tried different sizes.

I need a shoe with a good arch and several years ago I found the NAOT brand. That is all I buy now. This is the 3rd pair of Kumaras that I have purchased. As soon as they start to show wear, I order up the next pair. They are durable and I wet wipe them to keep them nice. There is one drawback and that is that they have round shoestrings. That type comes untied more often. I put up with that one small annoyance because of the comfort of the shoe. I never have to break them in. They always fit comfortably right out of the box. One last note, these shoes were ordered at Zappos but they came in an Amazon bag. I found that weird but it was the same shoe.

it was great fit, extremely comfortable, and versatile for various occasions.
