Customer Reviews Naot Santa Barbara

Love these sandals, but I wish they didn't have the red sole! (I can wear them to my work at an art studio, but the red makes them more casual then I'd like) I own several pairs of Naot cork footbed sandals, for my plantar fasciitis-prone feet. These are just as comfortable but a little less heel-lift than other Naot styles, in the Birkenstock wannabe tradition. The adjustable straps are nice, but I did have to cinch them in to the last notch, even though I do not have a narrow foot. People with truly narrow feet will likely find these too sloppy and wide. CAUTION: I bought the suede ones and loved them so much I bought the buffalo leather dark brown ones from that other vendor that begins with "A". Big mistake. The buffalo leather is stiff and horribly uncomfortable. They went back (at my expense). Go with the suede! The suede is soft and there's no break in time at all. NAOT: please make other suede colors, or soften up the leathers!

These shoes are stylish without the bulkiness of a Birkenstock

These are nice and comfortable. The lining is very soft and the silver is attractive. I will be returning them, though, because in order for the arch to be in the right place for my foot, I have to have my foot back in the footbed, There is room for that, and the adjustable straps allow for that, but I then had too much room in the front and I kept tripping. I wish I could keep them!

I have a very narrow foot, so I'm wearing these on the tightest holes. The 39 length is perfect for me and the sandals are very comfortable. I love Naot products and find they are super comfortable, well made and last forever.

Everything was great except for the little metal grommets that hit my small toe. Naot is great, but this is a design killer.

The fit was good but the rivet under the buckle hit me at the wrong spot on my toe. I loved them but back they go.

Gorgeous shoes and was so excited when I first put them on but oddly they punched my little toe painfully so they had to go back. I was very sorry because otherwise very comfortable and beautiful and exactly what I wanted for spring. Something just hit in exactly the wrong place for my foot.

The size was great but the straps just didn’t fit on my feet right. Still looking for pair of sandals comfortable for my feet Zappos is the best.

These shoes are super cute in the cheetah print. They fit fine. But the buckles were improperly placed on the top strap causing the two pieces of the strap to overlap at a weird angle. For this reason, I'm returning.

I liked these shoes. Naot is a great brand, and the quality was excellent. However, this style made my feet look a little bigger than I would've liked, so I returned them and instead kept a different Naot sandal I had also ordered called the Tahoe, which had more of a narrowing effect on my feet. Great product, just not exactly what I wanted in the end.

This is my 2nd purchase of Naot shoes. I love the comfort and walkability for travel. I like the look better than Birkenstocks, because they are slightly more feminine, if that's possible. However, just on one shoe, a grommet irritated my pinky toe. I know this will be a problem after extended walking, so I am returning them.

I tried these Naot to replace my Birkenstock sandals. I found these too narrow for my wide feet, so I had to send them back. I usually wear the open footprint in Birkenstock, so if you do too, these may also be too narrow for you. I liked the quality, but I thought the soles were VERY slippery. I was slipping around on my kitchen floor. I would have felt unsafe walking in them.

Fit ok. Like the style and color but the linen texture suede seems way too delicate for a summer basic shoe Didn’t keep on for long, so don’t know about comfort

Very cute sandal but ran surprisingly big -- too long.

Despite these sandals looking so cute they did not have the usual NAOT footbed. the footbed had what I would describe as a “rim” around the outer edge, perhaps to make it more like Birkenstock’s, but I found this uncomfortable and I am returning these sandals. I’m disappointed they did not have the usual footbed which I prefer.

Very unfortunate placement of the buckle rivet on the toe strap. My little toes were crying in pain almost immediately. Too bad, because otherwise I prefer them to Birks.

Too wide for my narrow feet, even with the adjustable straps.

I ordered these because Naots have always been very comfortable for me and I wanted a pair that look like Birkenstocks. They look like good quality but they are huge! I have small feet but have worn a 35 in Naot before. These were more than an inch too long and flopped off my feet. Unfortunately they don’t come any smaller so I will be returning them.

These are so cute on, but the rivets for the buckles rub on my little toe when I walk. I have regular to wide feet. Returning them.

The straps looked and felt cheap. Hard and not even a touch of softness. Looked like a hard laminate plastic. Certainly not the outstanding Naot products i have worn before.

The size and fit of this slide was just fine and I loved the style, but I wear with sox and that made the fit for me too snug. But I am very disappointed that Zappos would send me a pair of shoes that had obviously been worn before. The oily foot prints of the former recipient was clearly marked in each shoe and not picked up when they returned them. Obviously I will be returning these for a full refund and I will be looking for another style of shoes from Zappos because I have always had wonderful service in the past and continue to expect it in the future.

These shoes are too hard and not easy to walk in them.

Everything was great except that my foot needs more heel lift - otherwise I get plantar fascitis. Sorry, but had to return for that reason.

Seemed too small- I liked the style and color They were very uncomfortable

Beautiful but the buckle at the bottom of the big toe digs into your foot and is very uncomfortable. Totally ruins the shoe in my opinion which is sad because it looked good on but I knew I'd have a blister after 20 minutes. For the price, this is disappointing.
