Customer Reviews Naot Cymbal

These needed to be broken in, and I had to add some moleskin to the inside, but it was worth it. They are a fantastic, unique color and are pretty comfortable, especially for work.

Although this shoe doesn't look like it has excellent arch support, it keeps my feet happy all day long! Very cute, too! Only challenge is the color that has rubbed off on the inside of the toe strap.

I wanted to love these, doggonit. They are beautiful to look at it and fit well, length and width wise. But the horizontal strap was so tight and stiff. I wore them around the house for an hour, and I have to say that it did soften up a bit, but not enough. I was in pain afterwards. Wish I could keep them but I am grateful to Zappos for taking them back.

I tried these in both the metal leather and in the black. Ended up returning the metal leather, but kept the black. I've gotten compliments on them, and I'll most likely wear them to an outdoor wedding. My only reservation is that there's a little rubbing around the big toe area, but i think that will be less of an issue after I've worn the sandals more.

The vamp is waaaay too small. I cant even get all the way in to these shoes. They may stretch a little but not enough to ever make these the comfy all-day walking, commuting shoes I had hoped they would be. You need an extremely narrow front of your foot to even consider these. I'm a true M; I never wear a wide, but these are so much smaller proportionately in the front than in the back. They're going back.

I had to order a 10 in this sandal (I'm usually a 9.5). If it existed, I would probably wear a 9.75. :) There was tiny bit of rubbing on the little toe, but I expect that as the shoe stretches that won't be an issue. Very comfortable overall.

Well made. Nice style. Found the shoe a bit wider than I can wear. Alas, must return.

comfy but they bulge slightly on the sides (the straps bulge out)

Shoes were attractive and fairly comfortable, but not enough padding in the part right under your foot. I needed some spongy, but firm padding for foot issues and the Naot's were quite thin.

This is such a super cute shoe, but I couldn't make it work. I originally ordered a 40 and realized I normally order 41s. The 40 was indeed a smidge too short (I wear a faithful 9.5 Ladies Medium). The 41s were the perfect length and the arch was in the right spot. The toe strap in the 40 was perfect, but the 41 was much looser. I was sliding forward way too easily and knew the 41s would end up sloppy. This was definitely a wider footbed as listed in the description vs the Naot "narrow to medium" shoes. I found the footbed more comfy for my "medium" foot. Totally bummed because these were just a touch dressier than most "comfort" sandals.

These actually look way cuter on the foot and slightly more dainty. I have a decent size ankle & sometimes even swelling, and these have adjustable straps that might even be a go to when I'm swollen. I feel they're even a bit "slimming" to the legs. Beware: the bottoms of the soles are super slippery. Noticed as soon as I walked around in. Love them so much, I'm willing to bring to a shoe shop to have a more gripping sole put on. I'm too afraid to slip after having back surgery. I've done this before with a pair of Frye boots before. Worked well.

I was very excited when these arrived; they felt very good on my feet and seemed to fit well. But then I wore them for only an hour or so of walking around and got a blister on top of my foot near the big toe, and two scratches, one on each ankle where the Velcro rubbed against my ankle. Such a shame. I plan to keep them and try to figure out a way that the ankle strap won't rub.

Bought a pair of Naots two years ago for a trip to Italy and wanted a new pair to take on my return trip to Italy. I wear an 8. The stitching on the sole rub my toes so I returned the size 8 and bought the next larger size. I did like these shoes but liked my old Naots, style Rongo, much better and wore the old pair most of the trip.

I absolutely love these sandals. I am a huge fan of Danskos but have always wanted to try Naots. I have to have comfort shoes, so I am used to spending a little more on quality shoes. I have sandals that have similar toe straps, and ankle straps, but they still sort of flopped around which I really did not like. The leather strips across the tops kept them on firmly. I am also not a huge fan of the full on gladiator style, so I appreciate the subtlety of the design. They are wide for my narrow feet, but my feet just sort of sink into them blissfully, the Velcro is great for adjusting as my ankles are thin. The sizing is different for me than with Danskos, so I had to order twp sizes. I am actually in between sizes, but I got the slightly larger size and I think the roominess may make them more comfortable. So far I have worn them with long skirts, maxi dress, rolled boyfriend jeans. They are so cute and super high quality.

These are very classy-looking sandals, even for big feet. Quite comfortable, except for the ankle strap, which looks great but is impossible to adjust to be really comfortable. That one thing just begs for a redesign.

Sadly, my feet slide around in these (even with the ankle strap tight) and I am afraid they will rub blisters where the strap runs across the toes. They seem to be a little on the wide side. It seems like they would be comfortable if they fit correctly.

I am on my second pair as I loved them last year. They look classy because of the metallic leather and so comfortable. They do stretch so this year I got a half size smaller! And Zappos service is the best - always hassle free and so fast!

I bought this shoe in black a year ago, and love the shoes. I dislike the gold colored insole on the shoe -- you can see it in the pictures. I liked the shoes well enough that I took them to my cobbler and had them glue in a black insole -- and voila!

Love these! True to size, but not overly wide. Better for a narrow foot. Fastest delivery in the west!

Purchased these sandals mostly because I can remove the base and insert my orthotics. They are a really nice looking sandal and look really good on. Expensive but worth it to be able to wear nice sandals with an orthotic.

I read the reviews and decided to give this style a try. I wear a 38 but they were a little too big so the 37 most likely would be too small. I didn't find them feminine at all. Love this brand but will be returning them.

I love the Naot brand and have owned many pairs. These sandals look very funky and would be fun for causal outfits. However, I found the strap over the top was very low and pressed on the top of my foot. Naot medium width seemed wider than usual with this one. Had to return.

These did not work for me. They were too tight across my foot and the ankle strap was uncomfortable. Really too bad because I liked the look but don't want to chance that they might stretch out. Sadly, I will return them...

I wanted to love these shoes and kept them even though they were a bit tight across the toes when I tired them on. I wear an 11 and am slightly wide through the ball of my foot, but not enough to buy a wide. Unfortunately, the leather strap across the toes was hard and would not stretch. Wore them one whole day, ended up with a blister, and am now passing them on. I want to try another pair of Naot's but now hesitant since the leather doesn't appear to stretch.

The top part has Velcro that rubs against your ankle. I have tried to like these but they just do not fit my foot very well.
