Customer Reviews Naot Tampa

Naot makes sandals with the most yummy, comfortable footbeds and the most wildly inconsistent uppers. I keep on buying them in different styles: "Isis" type heels (prettiest/most consistent/best quality of all the styles), "Ashley" type flats (most unreliable, overly stretchy uppers), "Paris" chunky soles with velcro straps (great to wear, but not as attractive) and now this "Tampa" style. DIVINE footbed, nice height, WAGGLY loose uppers - one looser than the other! Spill something on them? Good luck getting it off! Wear them a lot and they just get looser. They are made from stretchy fabric, would it hurt to make them snug, for those of us who don't have a high volume foot? And make both uppers the same size? Then they would be my all time favorite sandals. Instead, I'm throwing them away after one summer, before I twist an ankle.

These are perfect spa shoes. I wear them after my shower or bath at home while cooling down, and the cork footbed absorbs extra moisture comfortably. I would imagine they are great indoor shoes as well (I don't wear outdoor shoes indoors) for the summer months, though I have several pairs of Naots for that purpose (Laura & Michele). I am thinking of buying a second pair of Tampa's for actual trips to the spa in the summer as they are easy on, easy off, yet they don't slip off, which is good for driving. I also like how you get a boost in height with the platform. And the width is comfortable too, with a true size medium for my medium width foot. I bought these in a size 37 for my size 6 foot and they are perfect. All I wear now is Naot since I discovered them last November. I no longer get the painful calluses or blisters I used to get with other 'comfort' shoes. Naot is the best I have found for true arch support as well. And though I can spend $500 for a pair of shoes if I need to, I am glad with Naot I don't have to...which allows me more beautiful styles for my designer wardrobe!

I've worn this shoe before (but forget what size) and loved it for its extra deep and supportive footbed (only a few of their sandals have it), and its elastic band across the foot that keeps it in place (unlike other Naot sandals, which I find either slip or have a strap uncomfortably high on the foot). I am a 9 1/2 AA and ordered a size 40; length was perfect, but the shoe was too wide and slipped on my foot. Size 39 is not available just now; hoping it will be soon and I will re-order.

I love these shoes; they don't flap when I walk. Keep them on all day they're so comfortable. Get them, you won't be sorry.

Love the comfort, platform, stretch fabric across the foot. Pretty stylish & easy—goes with jeans, shorts or dresses & skirts. So versatile!

This is the most comfortable sandal, simple, and not ugly on your feet. You will keep ordering this slide.

I love these shoes! They are so comfortable and surprisingly chic. I wear them with jeans, skirts and shorts. Had a knee replaced a couple months ago and it has been hard to find shoes that are compatible with my still healing knee. I don't think they look clunky at all and the shoes stay on perfectly.

Love these chic, stylish, super comfortable sandals! Wear them all the time, with everything. Morning or night, short or long, they just work! My back was fractured in five places and they still keep me comfortable. I wear a size 5/ordered a 36. When first trying them on, I thought the elastic band across the top felt loose. As I wore them around the house the elastic didn't stretch out, and the whole shoe molded to my foot. Which is what a well made shoe is supposed to do. Just yesterday a super classy girlfriend of mine complimented me on them, even asked where I bought them. I told her Zappos online, she knew the site even though she does not do computers. So there you have it! Even ordered another pair, due to the fact, that I wear them so often they should have worn out by now. But thus far, I've had no need for the extras. My originals still feel good, smell good, and look terrific! And...thank you Zappos for great customer service and for keeping this frequent shopper looking awesome and feeling great!

Naot shoes are the best in comfort, although sometimes the sizes are different.

I want to love these shoes. They look so cool. They feel great. But that flip-flop slapping sound with every step drives me crazy. They're going back. :(

I’m a huge fan of Naot. This shoe is very comfortable and I love the style, but unfortunately the flopping is loud and maddening. It’s literally embarrassing to wear them in public because the noise is so loud. If shoe flopping noise drives you crazy, you may want to steer clear of these.

I love Naot’s Tampa sandals—this is my second pair. I would be getting a third, if they were in my budget, since they do wear out eventually. Second summer for this pair. They are long-lasting, easy to clean, stay on well, form to your feet, and have a nice lift.

Great shoe! Noticed these shoes on a woman @ SFO and ordered a pair while waiting for my flight. So happy with these shoes! They're more stylish than my Birkenstocks with the benefit of a supportive footbed. I know these shoes will comfortable carry me all over Paris. The stretchy tops are snug enough to hold my foot in the shoe while the flexibility keeps me comfortable. I typically wear a 39 shoe these felt a bit short so I had to reorder in a size 40 for the perfect fit. They're the perfect blend of support and style, a nice addition to my shoe collection.

I've worn these all spring and summer and they are by far my favorite sandals right now. They're comfortable and cute. You can wear them to the spa or grocery store and I've worn them with casual skirts. They really work with a lot of looks. I was worried that the band across the top would stretch out after a few wears and it still has not. As comfy and supportive as the day I bought them. I have plantar fasciitis and these are the most comfortable shoe for that and they give me a tad of height, which I like. I learned that I need a stiffer sole to make my feet happy and pain free. If there was any negative is that they get dirty across the top if you touch anything, but I just use a dirty T-shirt at the end of the day and dust them off before I put them away. I'm planning on buying a second pair. Love!

This is my second pair since I wore out the first ones. They are comfortable and versatile. They look good with pants, skirts & shorts. They add a little height without sacrificing ease. Although I normally wear a size 5.5 I need a 35 in these which they say are a size 4. Of course they are the high quality I've come to expect from Naot.

Love them. Only wish I could get these closed toe

Slipped these on and couldn't believe how perfectly they fit! I thought "that was too easy," so ordered the Wolky Nassau to compare...which didn't work at all!! These are the keepers, exactly what I was looking for. Yes, the elastic upper has me a little concerned that it may stretch, but for now they fit like a dream. I walked around in them for 3 days on vacation without a moment of discomfort aside from the top of my big toe needing to get used to the minor rubbing where the upper hits. I am a size 5.5 with an unusually high arch, and the 36 is absolutely perfect!

I love these shoes so much that once my first ones started to show wear and tear I ordered a second pair for next summer. They're perfect!

Love these shoes! I bought my first pair and made the mistake of lending them to my daughter. I never got them back, she loved them too! So I ordered another pair for myself.

Wanted to love, but the strap is just too loose near the top of the foot. Would have been great for my wide foot (have found Naots generally a bit narrow) if only the strap could be tightened.

I love the look and comfort of these shoes and have bought them three times - but one of the reasons for the three purchases is they do not hold up well. The black covering tends to wear out and expose white elastic underneath. Using a black elastic would really help the problem. I would also like to see them in other colors. tops stretch out also causing your foot to slip around.

I was hoping to use these as "house shoes" that would last forever (b/c they are not cheap). The overall style is blah. The stretchy material over the toe look is super 90's and not in a good way/ The leather footbed is really nice - probably the best part of these shoes. However, the big problem is my foot slides and I turn my ankle in these all the time up and down stairs because the over the foot material stretches. I now have to be super careful in them and will likely give them away soon. I would not purchase again and recommend against.

These were my dream sandals. They're so cute and so "summer" but after only half an hour the elasticized foot wrap began easing up and my medium-to-narrow feet began feeling less secure. I do not need to go down that road. As I was printing the return mailing label, like Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail, I kept saying I wanted it to be you, I wanted it to be you so badly. Oh well.

This shoe felt hard and very heavy to me. I am returning it. I still Love Zappos anyway.
