Customer Reviews Naot Cymbal

Blister city! I've lost all the skin off both little toes, and a lot of it along the outside of my foot where the ball joint is. The leather is like some kind of sadistic torture device! Perhaps is just a break-in period?! Unfortunately I have to keep these, as they're the only cute sandals with a removable foot bed for my custom arch support orthotic that I'm supposed to wear. But I can only wear them when I'm not walking anywhere!

I took these beautiful sandals to Grand Cayman in January. They felt very comfortable during the limited time I wore them at home. However on vacation, day 1, within 2 hours of walking I got blood blisters on both of my heels, caused by the heel cups. The paid was terrible and I had a hard time walking the rest of the trip as these were the only sandals I took. Lesson learned, I won't ever by footwear with a heel cup again. I am super sad I can't wear these beautiful sandals.

I really liked this style and was quite disappointed that these sandals were too tight. I have several other pairs of Naot shoes in the same size that I had ordered, but these were just too tight across the toes. A larger size would have been too long.

Cute sandal in a beautiful, rich, dark brown. Wore them all day to walk around Chicago. While they were mostly comfortable (love the adjustable velcro around the ankle), they did leave me with blisters on the toes and rub marks around the ankles.

This is the most comfortable shoe I have ever put on my feet! The footbed was incredible the moment I stepped into it. The shoe fit perfectly. I am a size 5 and ordered a size 35. My feet are a little wider than the M width of most shoes but this one fit instantly. Unfortunately I am sending these shoes back because I wanted a Gladiator-style shoe not to look like one. These were very cute on the video but my calves are wider than the model and these shoes made my legs really look like a gladiator. Hate to see these go back.

I love these shoes, style wise, but unfortunately, like all Naots, they run a little short and a little narrow. I really wanted to love them, but the foot strap was way too tight around my medium width foot. Also, although they were a little longer than most Naots, the size 42 was still just a bit short for me. Naot has improved their options over the past 5 years, but they still make a limited variety of sandals in womens' size 43.

I love naots inspite of their extravagent pricing. This particular shoe was as usual a comfy out of the box fit. I was dissappointed at how much the leather streached, got sloppy and at how flimsy the back leather supports were. I will be trying to put a cushion under the removeable insole to tighten up the fit some as this is a cheap quick fix. if this shoe was a little more sturdy it would have been worth the price.

Such a cute stye with the comfort of Naot. Or so I hoped. Sadly, the strap over the toes was so small, it was almost a straight line from one edge of the sole to the other. No way I could get my foot in there, way too tight. Seems like a design error to me. It will only fit if your toes are nearly flat or maybe if your feet a re pretty narrow.

These Shoes are cute, but just a bit to bulky for me. The footbed is very soft but the strap around my ankle was uncomfortable. I was very disappointed that so much of the stitching on one shoe was coming off. I own Naots and they are good walking sandals. This will be going back.

This shoe looks good. I took the size 9, which was recommended for the usual size 8. Initially, wearing them, I thought, it would work, though I usually take size 7 1/2 in sandals. Well, it did not. I keep slip/sliding around in these sandals, even when tightening the ankle strap more. The arch support, which I think, would be good, does not work for me, since my foot is sliding around. I see one design problem; the ankle strap goes right over the ankle bones and rubs. I would have returned these sandals, if I would not have been wearing them already.

I wanted to like these shoes. I even had expensive custom orthotics fit to them (fortunately they also fit my sneakers). I gave them three tries over the course of three months. Each time I had to wait until the skin on my feet grew back. The blisters were unreal! The missing skin was intense! And the shoes are cute for older ladies - but not so cute as to give justice to the pain! This was a horrible experience.

Not sure why these sandals get such good reviews. My feet are sensitive and on the medium/wider side, so I was hopeful! These sandals are very clumsy looking, unattractive is an understatement. If they did not flatter my thin ankles and legs, how do they look on thicker ankles and legs? If at least they were comfortable! The ankle strap is extremely scratchy! Way overpriced considering the ugly design poor quality and apparently quality control. Very disappointing sandal. One surely has to have elephant skin to not feel the terrible ankle straps. I found some very cute and comfortable sandals made by Taos, Ecco, and Earthies. They do make sandals that are both comfortable and pretty. And nothing scratches!
