Customer Reviews Naot Kata

Perfection. Ordered down and they fit like a glove.

I am so happy with these shoes! I have Morton’s Neuroma, so I need shoes with a wide toe box & I wear custom orthotics. Mine fit in perfectly & the shoes are so comfortable. They’re very stylish & go with a variety of outfits. There was no breaking in period.

The back of the shoe was hitting my Achilles tendon and just wasn't going to work. Really cute shoe!

OMG These are just as cute on as you think they will be from the online photos! They are a bit pricey, but no need to break them in - these will be my go to shoes for the summer, whether in yoga pants, shorts or a dress! Very very comfy and cute - and they don't look like granny comfort sandals! I'm a size 8 and a 39 fit perfect. did not need to size up or down,

Love, love the style and quality. However, the 9's were too short & the 10's were too long. Wish Naot made half sizes in closed-toe shoes. Sent both back, sadly.

The shoes have multiple unusual or interesting features about them. Actually, when the light hits them a certain way, the front black material has a very subtle rainbow color to it that reflects. I wouldn't say these are high fashion but they are really great for interesting and functional shoes when standing on your feet all day in a hospital setting. Very supportive shoes with a splash of some fashion. ;-)

I wanted to love these shoes, but they just didn't fit right on my feet. I have never had an issue fitting into "M" width shoes, but the leather surrounding my forefoot squeezed uncomfortably at the edges. The style is incredible (I'm always looking for a stylish take on the Mary Jane!), and they felt comfortable otherwise (footbed, arch support, etc.). But had to send them back.

Loved these so much I bought 2 colors. I'd probably need to go up a size to wear with even light socks but they're great with no socks or a very thin trouser sock.

I have bought both colors in these shoes in my usual Naot size, and they fit, perhaps a bit looser/wider than some other Korus. The tie helps adjust the shoe so it's comfortable. Great arch support, as usual. Love the textured leather in both colors. But something about them just seems a bit too massive . . .too sturdy-looking. I'm returning both colors to think more about them. I like them, but I don't love them. Just not sure about the style -- too much leather/coverage in the heel area, I think. Need more cutout/air space, I think. I always buy 41 in Naot and wear a 9.5 shoe, so size up if you're on the border.

The fit was weird, I liked that the toe box was big but the shoe came in really narrow underfoot. I don’t have wide feet.. The shoe didn’t sit straight under my foot so the ball of my foot felt the hard outside of the shoe pressing up. Comfortable when I first put them on and then instantly I felt that hard outer bottom sole and decided to return them. Cute style but just not worth that much money. The quality really makes them seem like they should be no more than $60.

I bought these shoes for work for the summer. Super cute with dress or pants. I am not a fan of tying and untying shoe laces every time and these shoe laces do not stay tied, so I have to do an extra knot which means putting more time in the untying. The description says, "Leather and textile lining for breathability." The texture lining is not breathable. My feet get hot and sweaty -- very uncomfortable.

I wanted to love these shoes, because they are VERY comfy. Sad to report they have an old lady orthopedic look in person. This is coming from an old lady. Consider yourself warned.

I had very high expectations for these be e they're adorable - but the stiff part of the back heel rises up to that impossible spot on the ankle & most definitely will cause constant friction rubbing that can't be mitigated by anything but thick hiking socks. Moleskin and various other padding won't be effective. The leather is thick, too, so just the thought of trying to break them in makes me cringe in pain. Sadly, I must return them.

The back of the shoe is tall, firm, and scratchy and rubs on my upper achilles, so I have to return them. They are longer in length than a true size 5; the heel feels as low as the toe bed, giving little heel height. Great look.... if you can fit in to them.

These shoes did not work for me, though I love Naot. But they came in a bag--not in a box. They had been obviously worn and one lace was broken almost all the way through. Very unusual from Zappos. But I'll return them and hope they don't show up at someone else's house. And shame on the person who returned them in this condition and Zappos for not thoroughly checking them out before they sent them to me.

As usual, of 9 pairs, it’s NAOT for the win. Fit perfectly right out of the box and I knew everything else was being returned. Dressed up or down these will be great.

Great shoes for my bad feet and ankles! So soft and it adjusts due to how swollen my ankles become with the soft material around the ankles. Shoe feels like butter on my bad feet! Thank you Naot and Zappos for carrying these great shoes for people like me with terrible feet!

Great shoes--best for narrow feet. Loved the style for dress and casual, cushy/supportive footbed, non-slip sole, and fun tie-on custom fit. Very well made, too. I felt like I was walking on carpeting, even on my hard floors. Alas, my B/C feet were crunched in the toe box. I am really sad to have to return these. Too bad that any one shoe cannot be all things to all feet.

I purchased these shoes for special occasions, I love the Wolky desh sandles which has ankle support so I decided to give this shoe a try. The Naot Kata is comfortable with great arch and ankle support.

This is my second pair of this same shoe. These are very comfortable - I marked them as moderate arch support but when you first get them (and if you generally wear shoes without a lot of support) they can take a little getting used to ... they're sort of a mix between moderate and high support but seem to conform to your foot after several wearings. I've worn these shoes while traveling and, with the ties and higher ankle piece, they were amazingly supportive on uneven cobblestone streets and slippery tiled walkways.

For some reason, the black shoes do not fit properly and not as perfectly as the tan color ones. Perhaps a manufacturing flaw?

the left shoe seems to slant too much to the right so I need to order another pair

I love Naot shoes but these are their best sandals, as far as I am concerned. They are stylish,, comfortable an and the color goes with everything I own.

Absolutely wonderful shoe! Was hesitant at first because I thought the style was "old" and not chic, but as a matter of fact, they look surprisingly nice! The arch support is great and they really support your foot. Just ordered in another color.

After ordering and trying on about 15 pairs of shoes over the last month these came out as the winner! Naot's are great for travel where a lot of walking is required. I have high arches and these provide a good amount of support. My feet were slightly tired after walking all day, so not quite as much as support as say, Vionic, but I still chose Naot over Vionic for our most recent trip because Naot has better styles for casual all-day walking that can be worn with shorts, pants or dresses. I wanted something that was also close toed. I ordered two colors in the same size, and the black ones felt significantly tighter than the taupe ones, so either the sizing is off or the taupe ones got stretched out over time by being tried on? Either way, these were perfect perfect perfect.
