Customer Reviews Naot Gabriela

I am a huge fan of Naot footwear -- bought my first sandal about 25 years ago and have never looked back. The shoes may seem expensive, but they're extremely comfortable and they last ... and last. I've had several pair still in great shape after 10 years! I have 11 pair of Naot shoes: 4 sandals, 4 slingback style, and 3 regular style shoes. I have wanted the Gabriela sandal for quite a while and finally added it to my collection. I read several reviews that the Gabriela runs narrow and that is somewhat true. It is part of the "Elegant" line, designed for the narrow to medium width. I ordered the sandals in size 40, my usual size and when they arrived, I wore them around the house for a couple of hours and here's my first impression. Length was right on. There are 3 straps: the one across the toe area is fixed and it did feel a bit tight; the diagonal strap has elastic with a bit of stretch built in; and the ankle strap is very adjustable. I found that the toe area strap stretched a bit in those couple of hours. The next day I wore the sandal all day, about 14 hours, and never even knew they were on my feet. I am a borderline between an 8.5M and a 9AA fit, but I definitely have a narrow heel and can easily walk out of my shoes. A Nordstrom's shoe salesman suggested that I try slingbacks for a better heel fit and they definitely work well for me. Most "regular" shoes I own are either tie-shoes or have a Mary Jane strap. The Gabriela is my only slip-on style sandal, so I am pleased to have it towards a slightly tighter fit, and I do mean slightly. With the above comments, I do highly recommend the Gabriela sandal. It has a classic style and will be in my collection for many years. I would have preferred a regular leather to Nubuck, but that's my only negative.

Naot is one of my favorite brands and did not disappoint with this purchase. I especially like the velcro strap so I can adjust the tightness as needed.

Wish that they were just a little bit longer, loved the style, just what I was looking for, but cannot justify that kind of money for a less then perfect fit. I will keep trying .

I love Naot sandals. I used to wear Mephistos, but the Naot sandals are just as comfortable at 1/3 the price. I live in Hawaii, so I wear sandals every day, year round, and these shoes are very easy on my feet, and stylish with really pretty color palettes. The Gabriella is my second Naot sandal, (Naomi was mu first), and I?m already thinking about getting a third pair in yet another style.

YAy oh yay! A great little (emphasis on the "little") sandal. Am exchanging it for the brown though as I'm keeping the charcoal in another Naot style. But yay. This 35 euro is a real 4.5 - 5, not an almost 5.5-6 or worse, 6.5-7 like most of these clodhopper cork insoles are. Beware - there is NO extra room though, so if you like them roomy, go up.

I love these shoes. They are casual and feel so good on my feet. I've had plantar factitious and these shoes just seem to hug my feet. I think they run a bit narrow, but for my long (size 42), narrow feet, they are awesome!

This sandal is part of Naot's narrow line. Don't order it if your foot is on the wide side or you will be one of the reviewers who find it too narrow. I love the Naot Elegant line because most comfort/support shoes are too wide for me and this line generally fits me well. This shoe is beautiful and well made. The footbed was great, having the usual Naot cushioning and support, but unlike most Naots in this line, it was not comfortable because of a design flaw: the stitching that holds the metal loop for the adjustable ankle strap was thick and rubbed against the side of my foot. Additionally, I found the leather to be a bit stiffer than that of my other Naots, and the ankle strap was very long. I love the design - a delicate slip on with an adjustable strap for the perfect fit. I would have kept these even with the stiffer leather and the longish strap, but I could not overlook the rubbing issue. The fit was perfect and true to Naot sizing. I am typically a 7.5, but wear a 39 (8-8.5) in Naot.

I love this shoe. It has excellent arch support (I have plantar fasciitis). It also looks good (which is hard to find in a shoe with good support!).

I have a thin foot, and wear size 5. The front strap is perfect, the back strap is a bit loose, but I can live with that since I like the color & design.

I love these Naot sandals. I have 2 other pairs which I have been wearing for over 10 years! My only difficulty with Naot is that my feet are on the narrow side- but the hook & loop closure on these is infinitely adjustable and I can snug them up just right! I love the style and the gray color - very neutral.

This is the third pair of Naot Gabrielas that I've ordered. I couldn't pass up this pair at the discounted price! They are super comfortable, even with the issues my feet have from running for years. I can walk miles in them in the city and not have any pain or develop any blisters. I've also gotten compliments on how attractive they are. Thank you, Naot.

great looking shoe. Very comfortable. Hard to find size 15

I ordered this in my usual size and returned for a size up. I went through multiple shoe orders before I found one that was super comfortable for standing and walking and had the right look - casual Saturday shoes but not too crunchy looking. Finally I settled on these. My only complaint is the price is too high but since I returned multiple lower priced shoes, I guess you get what you pay for.

I love the color and style. I have over 15 pairs of Naot sandals. They all fit wonderfully. Most comfortable sandal around.

Love the color, felt great right out of the box, ordered Half size up, cause I wear a half size, arch support excellent. Don't hesitate, get a pair or two!

I loved this style in slate-colored leather. The only problem for me was the very narrow width, which squeezed my pinkie toes tight inside the sandal. Had to return.

When I first got these, I couldn't figure out how to make them fit on my feet - the soles seemed wrong for the way my foot was shaped, too. But I had something to attend, it was 90 degrees out, and I needed to wear something. So I bit the bullet and wore them out -- I'm so glad I did. They molded to my feet, and the strap adjusted to keep my feet secure but not tightly bound. They are, no lie, the most comfortable sandals I have ever owned in my life. Took a few hours to break them in, but worth it.

Not only was the fit perfect, the color was exactly as I expected from the picture.

Beautiful shoes and very comfortable. Naot is a dependable brand.

In that Naot is the only shoe I can walk in, I needed some shoes for a wedding that I can wear nylons with. So these sandals are perfect. Some Naot's I wear a 36 and some 37. In this sandal a 37 as it is somewhat narrower.

Great fit. I bought a size up like other reviewers suggested, and they fit great.

Love this sandals: great fit, very comfortable and gorgeous color. Naot is my favorite brand of shoes and this pair did not disappoint.

This is a nice looking sandal, but unfortunately it runs a little small. I ordered my usual Naot size, but my heal was at the edge of the shoe. They looked like they didn't fit properly. I was disappointed to have to return them.

I ordered what I thought was my size, 39 (8). They were too small. I returned them for a size 40. They fit perfectly and are really cute. The customer service folks at Zappos get 5 stars too!

I ordered this in vintage slate in my regular 40 size. They were a tad short and narrow and got them in a 41. I have 15 pairs of naots and this is my new favorite. Love it. Just order it a size up. Beautiful color and foot bed is light grey.
