Customer Reviews Naot Tellin

These are one of the most comfortable boots I’ve owned. I ordered a second pair

I love these boots so much I bought a second pair. I’ve worn them while touring cities, walking for sometimes 8-10 miles a day without blisters. I wear size 12 (43) and have an average width foot— they were stiff at first and zippers almost didn’t make it up my ankles but they loosened up without much breaking in. They are my go to travel boots. I do need to make sure I wear a sock with slightly padded heels as that part is slightly loose on me and without laces you can’t adjust the shape .

These are the best boots I’ve ever owned, just need new ones exactly the same…this is the size I bought 15 plus years ago in pearl leather (from an outdoors store in CO), but these do not feel like they are going to work; usually need any NAOT in an 8 due to width, since then. I don’t think the style has changed—this is the same, maybe the madras leather is a bit stiffer. You won’t go wrong purchasing these, they have been on many trips and daily activities through these years, just managed to almost wear through a couple spots on the sole. I’ll try to get that fixed. Will order in any leather once a size 8 appears!

Super comfy from the first wear. No breaking in needed

Really nice leather and great style...I have walked for 12 miles in NYC in these and not had a problem. I love this shell sole style and wish they had it in a lace up/waterproof for travel

Gorgeous boot that is heavenly comfortable and well made.

These are the best Naot boots, and I've tried a few. While they look a bit like the lighter Chi, they have more support. They give some breathing room, but they aren't loose or floppy. The thick sole makes for a protected feeling while walking. Note: while lately 40s have been too small for me in Naot, 40 was perfect in these.

I love the look of these boots but the ankle was too tight and had no give, sad to return them!

I bought two versions of this shoe. I am a size 5-5.5. I needed to fit in orthotics from a podiatrist so I bought the 36 which worked perfectly. I love the softness of the leather as it is comfortable for bunions as well as plantar fasciitis. I wear them all day at school as a teacher and walked comfortably in a spring trip in Spain.

I wear orthotics and have a big toe joint problem and these are wearable for me. They work well as rain boots as well.

I have been buying this boot for a long time. I can walk for miles and miles in them. Very comfortable for wide feet, and they look great. Please don’t stop making them!

I've been on a bit of an epic journey to find the perfect Naots for me, and I think I have found that in the Tellin. It flew it under the radar - I really didn't think much of its looks at a glance. But after seeing some folks in reviews talking about how perfect this boot is for their foot troubles, I gave it a try and I'm glad I did. This boot has the same footbed as the Oyster, which I almost bought but decided against due to how easily I felt I could turn my ankle in that one. The Tellin solves this problem well enough for my purposes - it still has the same shoe bottom, but the shaft of the boot is a bit sturdier and fits closer, and because of that I feel secure ankle-wise. I can bend my ankles out if I try, but not far, and it's harder to do. The footbed is supportive and the arch support hits in the right places for my foot. There is plenty of toe room and it feels a little bit wider than some others I have tried on - but that translates to roomy, not ill-fitting. Lastly, they aren't as unattractive in person as I thought they might be. They're not as petite-looking a shape as, say, the Wander or ankle booties. But I don't mind that. I think I like the look and it may grow on me more. I got the off-black finish, and it's cool looking. I hope it holds up well and will edit if it doesn't! But they seem to be sturdily constructed and like they will last a long time. Overall I'm really happy with them!

These are SO COOL!!! Have a very Euro feel, and look great w/jeans, leggings, and even dresses. They're also very comfortable. Pricey, but worth it if you like a chunkier, funkier style.

I love these boots! I wore them to a wedding days after I bought them and danced all night long in them on concrete! Super cool looking. They fit my slightly narrow feet beautifully!

I love these boots, they're super cute and comfy. I prefer this Shell line from Naot with the thicker soles. The inside has a bit of cushion, and there's good support for my high arches. I normally wear a size 11, and the size 42 fits perfectly.

I have multiple foot issues. Coming out of two Achilles surgeries, just a year apart, I bought these last season, expecting to discover the same pain and discomfort I had been experiencing in everything else I had tried on. But I have been thrilled. I also have a very high arch and need great arch support. These definitely don't run narrow as some reviewers have said. I love having room in the toe box to allow for free movement of my toes without sacrificing support throughout the rest of the boot! In addition to my high arch, I have a high instep, and I have no problem easily slipping into this boot. These are the best boots I've ever owned for comfortable supportive walking and standing!

These are extremely comfortable. I love the staggered seam design.

Very nice shoe. I was recently told I should not wear Danskos anymore so I've been gradually replacing my many clogs. I have lots of requirements for shoes, comfort being the central issue. But of course I want something that fits my style. The only footwear brands I buy now are Naot, Birkenstock, Reiker, Keen, and Brooks sneakers. I will add other comfort brands as I discover them. These boots are super comfortable right out of the box. The cork footbed is lovely. The toe box is roomy without being huge. Easy on and off with the side zipper. The Black Pearl color is rather like a very dark pearlescent grey -- almost black, but not a true black. Very pretty! I pretty much only wear black shoes and this color was fine for me. The platform adds a bit of height, which I like. But very easy to walk in. Very stable. Size 41 fits me perfectly. US shoes size is usually 10. I wear 41 in Reiker and Dansko, 40 in Birkenstock sandals, and 10.5 in Brooks sneakers. I don't know if I will wear these booties in snow because they are so pretty I don't want to ruin them with salt stains, but probably for light snow they will be great. Have not worn in wet conditions yet to test the tread. For a fall bootie, I am in love! Bottom Line: A bit expensive -- totally worth the quality and comfort.

These are THE most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. In fact, they have saved my life. I have suffered immensely from plantar fasciitis, loss of fat pad and severe nerve pain for about 10 months before ordering these boots. Shockwave therapy helped most with the plantar and metatarsal pain but NOTHING was helping with the nerve pain and overall pain because my shoes (or even a sheet) touching the area would eventually cause intense pain (not, tingly, aching, debilitating). The sole of this boot is thick enough to absorb much of the pressure of walking without normal fat pads (which is not true of most shoes, even most Naot styles. The soft cork foot bed supports but with give and best of all -- it breaths (which is very important when you can't ever take a shoe off if you need to stand or walk). The toe box is spacious to let toes moves without impediment. Nothing on the top of the boot touches the top of my high instep (I also have high arches) so no nerve pain. The medium to wide width is slightly less wide than the other Noat styles that run a true wide, but wider than the medium width styles right at the metatarsal bone and most especially in the toe box where I need it most. I highly suspect I developed foot pain problems from a lifetime of wearing shoes that are a bit too tight in the toe box! Because they only come in full sizes I got the 7 (I generally wear a 6/12). I even sleep in these shoes because the short boot style keeps my foot in a position that prevents my foot from pointing or even trying to point because something about that position activates nerve pain. I can't think Naot enough for making life changing, comfortable shoes in such a cute style. I have these boots in 4 colors. And I am hoping for more styles in the Shell Collection as we change season --- most especially a knee high boot, please! Thank you Naot. Thank you Zappos.

Love them. Can walk 30 blocks without a care. I have narrow-to-medium feet and if I wear thin socks I put in a gel so my feet don't move around too much. They look cute with flared jeans or skinny ones tucked in.

Love these boots. I live in NYC and walk a lot. The arch support is great and I can go all day. My feet are slightly narrow, and these are a bit wide, but the footbed is so well constructed that my feet don't move around. I do tend to wear slightly thicker socks. They are cute and funky with skinny pants and fine with wider ones as well.

I've had these boots for a year now and wear them every single day that it's less than 65F. (I wear my Naot "Sea" MaryJanes in warmer weather and my Haflinger Snowbird slippers at home.) The toe box is extra roomy. They feel like walking on a cloud! My feet hardly ever get tired even when walking or standing for 4+ hours straight. They mold to your foot and are extraordinarily comfortable and have virtually eliminated my plantar fasciitis and hammer toe problems. LOVE THEM!

I have a myriad of foot problems - pre bunion, high arches, slightly wide, loss of fat pad, nerve damage in ankle, neuropaty..and the list goes on. Doctors have no specific diagnosis and have not been successful in treating the problem. I feel helpless and often depressed. I've tried many shoes and the only ones that I can wear have not been very attractive. Until the Tellin. I feel cool as hell in this stylish boot. The sole is nice and thick and provides desperately needed shock absorption. The scale is wide but the design helps through off the eye. The toe box is generous and allows room for my toes to wiggle. My favorite shoes in decades.

Very stylish and comfortable. I had to go up a size, but that may have been because of my orthotics.

These shoes came out of the box and were worn all day!! They are a little different in looks, but VERY comfortable. I recommend them to anyone with hurting feet that need support.
