Customer Reviews Naot Arataki

Beautiful and comfy sandals.

So sad that these did not work for me! I wear an old pair of Naots all the time-- a clog-style mary jane that has been discontinued and is showing it's age. I ordered a 39, the same size as I've been wearing. Based on other reviews, I also ordered a 40. The 39 was too narrow, the strap cutting into my arch in a way that would lead to blisters in no time. The toe box also felt too flat, pushing down on the tops of my toes. The 40 was perfect, no rubbing, cutting in, or flattening my toes. But it was also much too long on my foot. My foot is slightly wide in the front, but not enough to need a wide fit shoe most of the time. I also have a narrow heel, so I appreciated the way the straps fit and held the shoe securely on my foot. The leather is buttery and lovely, the ink color a wonderful dark navy that would work with so many outfits... If Naot offered a wide, I'd order them in a heartbeat!

I have owned these a year. They feel just slightly shorter than other boats I have owned. I have worn them probably 30 times all day, usually at work. Not quite as comfortable as my other naot Mary Jane type shoes. But I can still go for a walk at lunch for a couple of miles. No scuffing and look brand new.

Edited to add: I forgot to mention I'm returning these for a smaller size because they felt at least a half a size larger.

Nice looking walking shoe with toe room, but I have flat feet and the footbed did not support my arches, so walking was difficult. I got size 43 M. It would be good for medium feet but I tend to run narrow in the heel, so it was loose in the back and my foot moved around in the shoe.

Wonderful shoes. Good blend of comfort and style. I can easily wear them all day which is such a blessing considering the chronic arthritis in my feet.

I've never written a review before, but these shoes are so amazing I felt I needed to. They are seriously the most comfortable shoes I've ever had!! I don't like to wear shoes, and indoors I'm always barefoot or sock footed. When I tried these on I didn't take them off for hours. The brushed inside is soft, and the cork bed below cushioned but supportive. I listened to other reviewers and went with the larger size, and they fit beautifully. I love these so much that I'll order other colors.

Excellent shoes, fit me from day one. Thank you, Naot. I'd love to see half sizes provided since my normal size is 7.5, but this style fit me perfectly. I just put them on and went out.

I love this shoe! In fact, I bought two in the exact same color (sea green) as they are my go to shoe! The sea green is very neutral and goes with everything. The support is excellent. I can't wear flats and need just a little heel. These are perfect for walking and walking. My husband even noticed how cute they are!

These shoes are light and yet have a. I've amount of support. The black is understated so I feel I can dress it up or dress it down. I like the way they are snug around my skin but not tight.

great shoe---a little roomy in the toe box but i had Lis Frank surgery so i need it---great post op foot wear

Cute sandal and I love this color. Need to exchange for a smaller size.

Cuter than they look in the pictures. Looks really good on the foot and has the most comfortable footbed that Naot makes. Leather is butter soft. I got the silvery color and it is a perfect summer neutral.

I really love the Naot Koru line, and the Arataki is no exception. It's such a great shoe for spring, when it's warming up outside but my feet aren't quite ready to be seen yet. I will say I ordered multiple pairs of this shoe, in black and in the gray shimmer leather, trying to find the correct size. I need a 41.5, which isn't made, of course. Eventually, I went with the glove-like fit of the 41, rather than the loose 42. I also returned the gray shimmer leather, as the quality of the leather was nowhere near that of the black. Thanks for making all of this so easy, Zappos!

Love these Aratakis. I now have 2 colors and wear them regularly when it's warm but not quite warm enough for sandals. No pedi. yet this spring . . . . I love the laser cut punches on the toe area. Adds interest and air flow too! True to size fit -- my 9.5 foot always wears a 41 in Naot. Good adjustability, soft leather. What else could I want?

Love Naot shoes--great fit for my feet. The Arataki did not disappoint. Useful grey color goes with my clothing. Style goes anywhere. Comfortable from day one.

I'm shocked. I exchanged my Arataki sandals yesterday and today the new pair is here already when I got home at 3:15pm. I'm going to walk around the block to see if there's a Zappos around the corner. How can it be here so quickly! Amazing service. This pair is so cute, comfortable. The skinny strap sort of digs in the front of my ankles but loosening the strap helped. Absolutely adorable pair of sandals. Light enough, and holes in the front helps with breathing.

Comfortable and stylish sandals that can be used for many occasions. Buy most of my shoes from Zappos. Always satisfied with the service.

I do like this shoe, but I will order my second pair of Naot Rongp from you instead. The Rongo toe box gives my foot better support.

Absolutely no break in time because of the wide toe box. The color is delicious and I'm considering purchasing another pair when I can splurge again.

Very comfortable walking sandal that looks stylish. I often need to go up in size with Naot, but not with this style. I wear 7.5 and the 38 fit perfectly. No break in.

Naot's have always been my "go to" shoes as I have foot problems and need the extra support they provide. These were blister free immediately (a novelty for me) and extremely comfortable. They are a nice gunmetal color that can be used with almost any style of clothing. Comfy, cute, easy to wear. What's not to like?

Love these shoes right out of the box! I have problem with fit and these are great because you adjust the strap for custom fit. Soft leather in all the right places but not so soft they don't hold their shape. Worth every penny.

They are great- fit my orthotics (a little bit shows on the side only), really pretty. Fairly flexible sole if you are looking for something more supportive, these are not. Sizing was unusual- I am almost always a 40, sometimes 39 in Dansko lately, but these, I needed a 41.
