Naot has another winner. This is not your chunky clunky sandal. It is standard Naot structure and comfort, but with a more refined look. I\'m not saying dressy, but definitely more sleek. Narrower straps with the velcro adjustment strap barely visible. As described in the blurb, it is from a narrow fit line. I found it to be a standard fit lengthwise, and a narrow width--perfect for me. Love it. Ordered it in copper the same day I received it in black.

This shoe runs shorter and narrower than the other Naots I own. It's is more feminine than other Naot styles. I'll reorder a size up.

These sandals are lovely in person and the foot bed is very soft. However, I haven't yet decided if I'll keep them. I am a little disappointed in the arch support. I have high arches and am used to Dansko Professionals in the winter and Chaco s in the summer. I wanted something dressy so I thought I'd try these. In addition to the arch support, the high level of foot bed comfort I expected is also missing. These aren't cheap, and I'm just not sure if they're worth the money. Right now, while they are clearly made with superior skill and superior products, I just don't feel the difference between these and a pair I could pick up at at a retail department store. I have no doubt that these will last several years, I was just hoping for a little more wow when I slipped into them. The reviews are excellent, so I plan to wear them around the house a bit just in case.

These sandals are extremely well made and fit my very slender foot perfectly. Naot's quality is great and I will buy more of their shoes!

What a GREAT pair of sandals from Naot! I purchased the Carmen in the platinum/brass leather combo. They are the perfect go-with-everything sandal for spring/summer '09. Like all Naots, they are well-made with the famous footbed that gets the thumbs up from my podatrist (who offers Naots to her patients in her practice). I wear a 9.5AA and, like a recent Naot purchase (the Vital design, also new for this year), I could have gone with either a Euro 40 or a 41. I elected to stay with my normal size 40 since it ran narrow enough for my AA wide foot (the only thing I'll have to do is have the top strap shortened locally since I have to cinch it to the tightest setting, which makes it drag on the ground). If you don't have narrow feet, you'll likely want to size up. Otherwise, this is an AWESOME pair of high-fashion looking sandals that will make you want to walk for miles. They look great with shorts, jeans & casual summer looks...if you want to buy one pair of sandals that go with everything this summer, this is THE PAIR!

Liked the shoe style and that it's adjustable but only on lower strap portion of shoe. Would have fit beautifully if there'd been a corresponding adjustable velcro near toes. Sadly returned.

I absolutely love these sandals (the burnt copper with copper-gold ring), so am very sad to return them--but they're just too narrow. (Also maybe a little short in length.) And most Naot sandals are a little too wide for me! For years wore AA but must've widened over time, falling somewhere in the middle of the sizing chart. What I like about these most, besides the great style, is that they're low to the ground while still providing support. I want to thank Naot for that. Most of their sandals have too much height for my bad knees to bear. If your feet are truly narrow-narrow, give these a try (the top strap's adjustable). I'm so taken with them, though they don't fit, may ask Zappos to send the next larger size, in case they're a little wider enough to work for me.

So disappointed! These sandals are beautiful. Unfortunately, while they do run narrow, they aren't narrow enough for my low-volume foot and there's almost a half-inch of air between my foot and the front strap! But the footbed is perfect and amazingly comfortable. I think I'm going to consult a shoemaker to see if it's possible to alter that front strap for a custom fit. Someone with a narrow foot that has some girth to it -- as measured around the ball should be able to wear this sandal. I'm a true 7.5 AAA and the length is perfect in a 39.

These sandals are quite attractive and could be worn with capris, shorts and casual skirts. I had to return them because the middle part was too tight on my foot. It seemed like the middle was not made wide enough for the shoe. I was afraid it would not stretch enough to ever be truly comfortable. I have a high arch and from time to time have this problem with shoes.

These sandals are by far the most comfortable, most versatile sandals I've ever owned and at 50, I've owned quite a few sandals over the years! I love, love, love these sandals and can wear them and walk all day. Very comfortable, well made. I've gotten them wet and they still hold up fine. Excellent value for the money as I've had mine 2 years now and wear them all the time.

I have a hard time fitting shoes so that they\'re comfortable because of the bunion I inherited. These sandals do fit and I\'m so glad to have found them. I stood in them at a party recently for four hours and my feet never hurt. Can you say anything better? Of course I like they way they look too.

Runs a 1/2 size large, so if you’re a 6 1/2 get a 6. Wonderfully comfortable, fair support, love them.

A very, very comfortable sandal like Naot always is for me. You can walk all day in them. I liked this style because it was a little more flat than others that I have seen. It has that Roman look which makes it stylish.

Had to return the size 39 as they were a little short on my solid 8.5N sized feet. I think the 40 would be perfect but am keeping the Dorith style as it has a back strap. I liked how this shoe fits the foot snug for a slide. The tiny velcro adjustable strap helps. Bronze color is prettier in person. I think NAOT runs narrow in general and has GREAT ARCH SUPPORT! I am a new fan!

Love these sandals. The only shoe I've found which is both comfortable for longtime wearing and stylish enough to dress up for evening wear. Perfect for those vacations when you want to minimize bringing a lot of shoes. Kudos to Naot. Maybe a 1/4 inch too short, but not enough to warrant 1/2 size larger. Great for high arch support.

Zappos is great! Wonderful selection of merchandise. Excellent customer service keeps me coming back. Shipping and handling free, which is a huge savings. Orders are at my door within three days. Great place to do business. Thank you!

I love these sandals. They are so comfortable and cute! They go great with casual outfits as well as ones that are a bit dressier. These are the third pair of NAOT sandals that I\'ve bought. All look great, and I can wear them all day without my feet getting sore.

First of all, ordering thru Zappos is such a pain-free way of shopping. When you buy shoes at a store, you can only try the shoes on for a couple of minutes. With Zappos, I can carefully wear them for 15-20 minutes to see if they really fit comfortably. And with the free shipping both ways, it is a win-win situation. On the Naot Footwear - Carmen, I was pleased with the quality and the narrow cut to them. I have a thin foot and often have problems finding a good fit. I love this comfortable, stylish shoe.

I don't have the name of the other Naot I purchased (it is on file), but it is the black sandal with the circular rhinestone buckles. Also extremely comfortable -- with a narrow cut to it.

Perfect somewhat dressy sandal if you need arch support like I do. The sole is flexible and comfortable. I bought them for a beach wedding. I'd tried other, less expensive types of sandals (flat sole, no support) but my back hurt with all of those. These are terrific!

Beautiful!
These are absolutely beautiful sandals. The platinum/brass color is wonderful and would go with many outfits. The arch is not as high as some of the other Naots I have...but sufficient. The footbed is well-made and comfortable. The straps just did not work with my bunions, as it is narrower than expected. Boo hoo.

This sandal is very comfortable (like all the Naot shoes). I am a size 40 (US size 9) and the size is perfect. I bought the Burnt Copper Leather/Antique Copper Leather, which goes with everything.

Very cute, but had to return because extremely narrow. I have Naot Orions which are very comfortable and fit perfectly - ordered the same size but these fit poorly. I wish companies would have a single sizing standard!

Very cute flat sandal - great style! The black is sort of sparkly black/pewter color but not too much sparkle - very pretty color! I love how the fit my narrow, skinny feet, but I am returning them because when I walk my heel shifts sideways just enough that the back of my foot falls off the shoe and makes it uncomfortable. I am sad because otherwise I love them! :(

As usual these NAOT sandals did not disappoint. Compared to others I have purchased, they did run a size small. They are also a bit heavier feeling as they do not have the cork sole, but are still very comfortable. The strap nearest the ankle is adjustable, which is key to a good fit. They did take a bit of breaking in as the straps at my toes were tight at first, but have relaxed after a few days. I think the pewter color will go with most of what I wear. I would recommend purchasing.
