Customer Reviews Naot Alana

Loved the look, however, I will be returning them due to the "heel flapping" sound with each step. I am looking for a stylish comfort shoe for an upcoming vacation in Europe.

As comfortable and natural as these look, it takes about three months to work them in and two months later they look worn and dark. Definitely not worth the money.

Great shoe, nice arch support, and the sole can be built up (which is a must for my shorter leg). However, their sizing just doesn't work for me. 36 slightly too small, and 37 too loose. I've now tried three different styles from Naot and it's the same with all. I am told they are only whole sizes, not half sizes...

Super comfy...except it looked like an ace bandage wrapped around my foot. Oh well.

Love another pair of Naot shoes I have and my foot doctor recommended the brand. These were on the narrow side, but still fit my feet...except where my bunion is. The area where the ball of the foot goes is too narrow, and a few laps around my house and my bunion was hurting (it was sitting atop the edge on the cork footbed). I'll return these but look for another pair of Naot sandals. These would be great for someone who has narrow heels and no bunions! Cute shoe. The fabric wasn't nearly as stretchy as I expected either.

The elastic was too wide across the top of my foot. When walking a few steps, my feet were moving too much.

I loved the look of this slide on sandal but it was extremely narrow. I generally wear a size 9.5 regular and I couldn’t even get my foot into the sandal at all obviously returned the sandal.

Sandals felt like one medium width which was a tad tight and one wide width that fell off as walking. Returning

This is a cute sandal but I don’t think it works for a wider foot. The band is very tight and not available in a wide width.

To tight for my slightly wider feet. Had to jam my foot in to get it to sit right. But I got the Althea and love it!

The stretch part of the sandal was very wide = seemed as if someone with a wide foot wore them. Had to return because of that

I ordered the size 41 and was sent a 40. I wear Naot and I know what size I wear. I will be returning them.

comfort and style are good, I have owned these in the past and gotten years of use out of them, but trying to find the right size is near impossible. I have always been a true size 10, so I ordered the 41 and my heel is nearly hanging off the end. So, I ordered the 42 and there was barely a difference. I thought okay, enough to fit though so I walked around a bit and then they wouldn't stay on! Too wide, even though they are medium width. I measured the shoes and the 41 is 10 1/4 inches and the 42 is 10 1/2 inches. Barely a quarter inch between sizes but I am sliding out of the bigger size. really bummed, wanted to keep them.

Naot shoes seem to only come in narrow and narrower. Cute shoe if you have narrow feet. Not for wide feet. They look and feel like they would be comfortable. Again, if you have a narrow foot.

These shoes felt simultaneously too small and slipped off my feet. I thought the narrow side and stretchy upper would hold my feet in place, but they just slipped right out the back. I have narrow, bony feet and need good arch support, and based on other reviews, I thought these should would be perfect. Sadly, they are pretty much unwearable. After a few minutes around the house the fabric upper started to give me a blister as well. The footbed itself was quite soft and nice, and I really hoped these would work for me. Alas, I am returning them.

I ordered these in an 11 (42 European). I typically wear an 11, 42 or sometimes a 43 depending on the brand. While I loved the comfort of the sole and the elastic band (which did seem to securely hold the shoes on my foot - something I was looking for), sadly, they were too short. Either the tips of my toes hug over the front, or my heel hung over the back. I have other Naots and I suspect that their 42s run just a tad small (either that or my feet are growing!)

These aren't the most attractive sandal but I wanted something a little lower than a platform and higher than a flip-flop. The fit was great (size 42) but the left inside foot area was terribly uncomfortable, like a bulge under the footbed.

I purchased the Alana slide years ago and really liked it so I thought I'd get another pair. The previous pair ran very narrow and a little short so I had to return for the next size up. This time I ordered my regular size 10 M, and while the length seemed okay, the band across the top of the foot was so loose and sloppy I couldn't wear them. Also, they didn't even come in a box but arrived in a brown paper Amazon bag. For $129, I think that's a little ridiculous. Going back.

Liked the look online, but the footbed of this shoe is really wonky in the toe section. I wear Mephisto, Ugg, and Birks. Support in this shoe is not even close.

My foot measures a medium width, but it is a wide medium. This shoe was much too narrow for me. It also seemed a little small in length for a 38. I have worn Naot sandals before and loved them.

Rough area inside the shoe over the toes. Ouch

I wanted to love these shoes-- especially since they weren't on the cheap side!!! I was sure they were going to be great! However, I'm very disappointed. The fit is awkward and the top strap does not fit snugly all the way around. I feel like my foot is going to fall out, even though the foot fits in the actual bed of the shoe. I also have narrower, smaller feet size 5.5-6 so maybe that also plays into the weird fit. I would NOT recommend this shoe even though I would like to, since it looked good and many of the reviews were favorable. I would have returned it, but after wearing it once, showed minimal signs of wear. One of my not so wise purchases. Such a shame!

I have a narrow heel and found this sandal doesn't "cup" the heel the same way a narrow Birkenstock does. Consequently, it wore more like a flip-flop for me. The fabric is stiff and uncomfortable on bare toes and takes some getting used to. I rated this very low because of the problem with the fit of the heel. I had occasion to wear the sandals and when I came down on my right foot, my heel "fish-tailed" in the sandal. As a result, the sandal flipped 90 Degrees causing me to roll my ankle. This happened to me about 6 times when I wore the sandals and I attributed it to me walking too fast. Nevertheless, I won't wear the sandals again and have donated them. I will say, I have many pairs of Naot pumps and sandals. All have been very comfortable to wear with no mishaps. This is the only sandal that I felt was not safe for me.
