Customer Reviews Naot Papaki

I love Naot sandals and this is absolutely the most comfortable sandal I have ever worn. I joke that these are my "fast shoes"...I have an extra spring in my step when I wear them. I usually wear a 38 in Naot but the 37 fit me perfectly. They work well on my wider than average foot.

I not only wear a difficult to fit size (10.5 AA or AAA), but I have sensitive areas, namely, my outer right arch on my right foot and my tendency to pronate. This she controlled the pronation due to a very good arch plus a slightly negative heel. I put an orthotic in it and it did not slip. Be aware, however, that an insert in the heel will lift your foot so that there may be some slippage. it was still more comfortable than no orthotic. Without the orthotic, there was too much pressure on my toes due to a softer footbed than some of their other sandals. Beautiful, well-made shoe.

With spring finally here, I wanted an open toe sandal that had a supportive covered heel so I ordered this Naot Papaki sandal in blue/grey. The width is perfect as is the size. The sole insert is comfortable without needing additional inserts. The only minor issue was that the cuticle on my right big toe was at first being irritated/rubbed by the shoe. Luckily that resolved and I wore them all day yesterday while shopping at the mall without discomfort. Very pleased with the color since it fits in with all colors of my jeans. I do recommend them.

I love this shoe. I am surprised Naots fit my long narrow foot.

I purchased in black and cinnamon combo. They look very nice but are narrower than other Naots I own. The rubber soles were also noisy on the floor. Smudges of glue on the seams of the shoes are not typical of Naot, specially at this price. Overall I am disappointed.

These are dream sandals! They are comfortable and attractive right away. The silver and dark mauve are gorgeous on these dressy sandals!

These are very comfortable shoes. Although the band that goes across the toes is a little at the end closest to my toes, the nubuck is very soft and not bulky and I know it will stretch. The pleats in the toe band give it style and the angle of the ankle strap is flattering to the shape of the foot. Although I generally prefer more minimum coverage in a sandal, I'm limited because I need a low heel, a backstrap and insoles with padding and arch support. These have a little more coverage than I like but it's balanced by the leather not being thick and clunky and not looking like water shoes. They have a delicate look with the soft pleats. Naot insoles and arch support feel custom made for my feet. Most other arch supports are either in the wrong place, too high, too low or too hard. These are perfect for me.

These are the best sandals I have ever owned in 43 years. They are super comfortable and have a removable footbed so that I can wear my orthotic. I usually cannot wear a sandal with a back strap because my heels are so narrow that the back strap won’t stay in place and will rub against my skin. That means I can’t usually wear sandals for long walks. Because these are so pretty, I decided to give them a try, and I’m so glad I did! They don’t rub or hurt my feet AT ALL. I walked about 2 miles today in them and my feet weren’t any worse for the wear! I am ordering two more pairs so that I can wear these gorgeous sandals for years to come! This is opening up a whole new world to me. I will be wearing a lot more sundresses and sandals instead of shorts and sneakers. I cannot recommend these sandals enough! In general, Naot sandals are the absolute best. There isn’t another brand this consistently awesome.

I love these shoes. I wear a 37 in Naot shoes and these fit perfectly. Some of their shoes run a bit wide on me, but the fact that these are a medium width made a big difference. I have found them to be very comfortable and I’m sure I will wear them frequently. I bought the black patent/black velvet and they are a really cute, dressy sandal. I would not have purchased any of the other color combinations as I didn’t find them attractive. I don’t mind texture differences in a shoe, but the color combinations varied too much for my taste. If they come out with more subtle color combinations, or ones limited to texture differences, I would certainly buy another pair.

Just got these and have been wearing around the house this morning. They look very good and are comfortable. Good style for office, church or casual as I rarely wear heels and then, only wedges, so the fact that I can have an almost "flat" that looks good for skirts, dresses or suits is a plus. Since the toes are open, there is no pinching or clamping together of toes trying to get them into a narrow closing. I do have narrow feet and probably could have worn the 37 but I got the 38 so that when it is hot and humid in the mid-south and my feet swell a bit, I will not be uncomfortable in them. These will get a lot of wear as I commute via bus and then walk several blocks to my office and it was imperative to have a shoe with a good sole and surface. Love the fact that the inside can be replaced too as this is a big plus for folks whose feet sweat in the summer time. The navy color is beautiful--the smooth leather is iridescent and gorgeous. I hope to wear these a long time.

Seemed like they would be comfortable for they need to be a little better looking for the price.

I love Naot comfort and style, and this sandal meets my expectations once again. As others have reported, it does run large. I usually wear a 40 but needed a 39 in this shoe.

Fit and size were true to size. Moderate arch support. I like the leather and nubuck combination. You can wear them for casual or dressy. I own four pair of Naot shoes now. Each can be changed out with my own custom orthotics, that is one reason I love them so much. And, of course, no one has such great service as Zappos. It's my "go-to" store for all my shoes. Thanks, guys and gals, for all your wonderful customer service!

I liked these so much, I've ordered 2 more pairs! Perfect 3-season shoe. I like the closed back and the leather cross-over strap. I've gotten so many compliments about this shoe. True to size and the right width for me (medium). As with other Naot sandals, the support is great and they don't look like clunky Birkys.

I bought the sandals last year (when they were not quite this expensive), and I wish I had gotten two pairs. I am absolutely in love with them. I wear them day in and day out, and I can put my old lady orthotic write in them. They are cute enough for jeans or dresses, and they’re the most comfortable shoes in the world. Having them over a year now, I can also say they wear very well.

This is my second pair since I found the first to be so comfortable. I wore the first pair all around the south of France in villages with cobblestones, uneven roads, up and down stairs, walking for hours and they were great. I have also received many compliments on the look of the sandals, so why not buy again?

I almost always get a size 38, but for this style I got the 39 and they fit really well. These shoes are incredibly comfortable and I love the teal and tan combination. I have a pair of Dorith's as well, but I like these much better since they provide more support.

I adore these sandals, The teal color is perfect for summer and they looks so good on. Unfortunately I will be returning then. There is a seam on the left one that irritates the side of my foot.

I found these Naots to be so comfortable, good arch support. Adjustable ankle strap holds foot in position. They look great, I get a lot of compliments on how cute they are. I have narrow feet but these work well for me.

great arch support and good looking, very comfortable from the get go

These are pretty cute for a sporty sandal. I was looking for something that I could wear all day that wasn't a sneaker. These seem to work! I'm usually a 40 or 41 - Kept these in a 41, the 40 was very small and tight on me.

Fits perfectly. I love the style and different materials. Extremely comfortable. Can be used for special events and casual.

LOVE! VERY comfortable footbed. Tried them on 6 hours ago and don’t want to take them off! They’ll be great for traveling— they can walk all day and still go to dinner in style. ——> NAOT: we need more colors!

I just received my size 10 shoes and tried them on and right away and quite surprised how comfortable these shoes are. They feel like you would not have to break them in before wearing for any length of time. I wear 9.5 slims and these will be fine and barely noticeable the strap across the toe area is a bit wide. The size 9 was a better width fit and the length would work if you like your toes closer to the edge.

I was glad it for my narrow feet. But I can imagine that a wider foot may not feel the same way.
