Customer Reviews Naot Kata

This is a really beautiful and unique style of shoe. I had to have them and had a hard time picking out which color because all of the colors are really so nice. They fit beautifully and I'm going to enjoy wearing them often

I tried a size smaller than I usually wear and the fit is great! If you have problems in your heel, arch, ball of the foot and toes like I do, it's difficult to find stylish shoes that are comfortable. These fit the bill. The leather is supportive yet soft like good leather is supposed to be, the ties stay tied and the bottom is non-skid. These are my favorite shoes I've had in the last 20 years. I'm going to get another pair of these adorable Naot's. They're the best!

I really like these shoes. They have a very comfortable shoe bed with a great arch support and are comfortable barefooted. Straps are lined inside and I do not even feel the laces on my foot. The color is nice and neutral and the pattern in the toe of the shoe looks slick with the leather trim and the shoe sole. I am in hope these will become my travel shoes.

I am so pleased with this shoe. It fits perfectly with good arch support and starting wearing it all day right out of the box! Also, I have had so many compliments. Just keep it out of the rain!

This is my FAVORITE shoe! I work in an art gallery and spend 8 hours a day walking on concrete floors (brutal!). I now have 4 pairs of THIS shoe to go with different outfits. Expensive? Yes, but worth every penny when I’m still able to function day after day. And they’re adorable! I get tons of compliments!

I'm in LOVE!! I tried on at least 10 pairs of shoes in an attempt to find something I could comfortably walk around in all day in Paris in springtime and still walk into a nice restaurant afterward. I had almost given up when I Googled "most fashionable walking shoes" and found a blog that listed Naot along with my usual go-to brands like Ecco. I'd never heard of Naot, so was surprised to find that Zappos had a big selection. And when I saw the Kata? YES!! I got them in gray, a great neutral color with a warm hue. They look super chic with skinny jeans or cropped pants and didn't even look stupid with gray socks (although they are warm enough without socks in November here in L.A.). They are extremely comfortable to walk in, with a grippy sole and cushy padding that feels amazing with every step. The only slight hot spot I have is the top of the tendon that runs from my big toe to the top of my left foot (my bigger foot). The top of the shoe presses on it just a little when I walk, but it's not enough to make it red or bruised. Too bad Zappos is out of the Brown Croc color, since I am getting those next!

I ordered this shoe in grey and also beige. The grey fit great, beige not so much, same shoe, same size, go figure. The beige pair was sent back. These shoes can be dressed up or down. I wore them to church and found them to be very comfortable. Having plantar fasciitis I need excellent arch support to walk without pain. This is my fifth pair of Naots. It's expensive but of good quality.

I love the style of this shoe, it's really different than any other shoes in my closet. They felt great right out of the box, no "breaking them in"! The soft grey color is lovely and will look great with black, navy, grey or winter white. I have Plantar Fasciitis so I need the excellent arch support so I can walk without pain.

I ordered two of these shoes, one gray which fit great, the other in beige/tan which didn't fit the same. Same shoe, same size..... strange. I'm keeping the gray and returning the beige. These shoes will look great with jeans, slacks or a skirt. They have a really different look and have excellent arch support. I can't wait to wear them.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these shoes!!! This is my 1st pair of Naot’s and I can’t say enough about how comfortable they are. In fact, I just purchased another 3 styles! The most comfortable shoe I have ever owned. Well worth the cost.

I love, love, love these shoes. I, too, have to wear comfortable shoes because of a new bunion. My podiatrist suggested Naot shoes because they have very good arch support. Even though they are a bit pricey for my budget I am happy I bought them because I can wear them all day long with no discomfort. However, I had to add a lightweight plastic arch support underneath a very lightweight foam insert to make them fit me. I normall wear a size 7.5 and had to order a size 8 which seems to fit perfectly. From now on it's Naot for me. I love the style and plan on wearing them on vacation soon. I have to fly for 4.5 hours, trecking through the airports and I think I'll be fine.

These are cute and comfortable! I love them. They go with just about any outfit and transition well into Fall.

These Naots are amazingly comfortable and beautiful. I wore them today for the first time and my feet feel very happy!!

Buy these shoes! I have plantar fasciitis and my Birkenstocks were working well until I starting teaching in a school with all concrete floors (who builds a middle school with sound amplifying concrete floors?). My feet were killing me, my back was aching and my knees were throbbing. I decided to try these shoes because they were more stylish than my birks and had closed toes. All of my pain disappeared!!! I have been wearing them for two months and never have any pain at the end of my 10 hour, constant pacing (over 5000 steps a day), concrete floor days. I have since bought one more color and a couple of Naot boots. I am an 81/2 to 9 and bought these in a 39. Perfect fit. I bought the boots in a 40 to allow room for socks and am happy with the way they fit too. Well worth the money!!! My whole paycheck practically has gone to new shoes since making the change in schools, but it has been worth every penny to not end my days barely able to walk to my car.

Comfortable and stylish- I get lots of compliments when I wear them!

I found the shoe I've been searching for for a long time. These compliment many styles of dress and are so comfortable. LOVE THEM!

These shoes are attractive and they feel GREAT. I have a bunion issue and these look AND feel good over the bunions. I can easily wear these all day.

Very stylish and comfortable. Purchased the dark blue to wear with blue and white jeans. A good color, not to dark and not too bright.

I tried two pairs of this shoe and as much as I wanted them to fit, I must be an in between size. I have many pairs of Naot and think they are a fantastic, long wearing shoe and was very excited when I saw the Kata. Now very disappointed that I couldn't make it work. Aa always, Zappos service is out of this world!

Purchased 2 different pairs in search of all around best walking sandal. Decided on other (Naot Papaki). Although these were great: comfy, ideal heel height, and great fit all around but the style was not flattering on MY feet so reluctantly returning.

I wanted something for everyday wear as I travel this fall. These felt perfect the minute I put them on. I knew they were just what I was looking for. I feel they are true to size and oh, so comfortable. Excellent choice.

I love these and have two pairs! I have small feet, in between a 4.5 and a 5, and the 35 fits perfectly. I also have assorted foot issues, including plantar fasciitis in my left foot, and these work for all-day wear, even in a city, where I walk a lot and take public transportation. When I wear these I don't need to have extra "commuter shoes," or even wear my orthotics, because the Naot innersole molds to my foot. There's no rubbing, and they have good support, plus they are breathable and lightweight. Color note: The Violet Nubuck is not purple; it's maroon. Should be called Burgundy or Bordeaux, like the other part of the shoe.

I love Naot shoes and this style is very attractive, both for casual and dress wear. I just got them and have worn them just once so far and found them very comfortable. I have very narrow feet (AAAA) and have to compromise on shoes that only come in medium width. The fact that these shoes tie makes them very "do-able" for me. I already have a few pairs of Naot shoes and plan to buy more in the future. They are very well-made and comfortable.

Very comfortable. I teach and our school has concrete floors. Terrible for my plantar fasciitis. These shoes were wonderful and it was great to wear a stylish shoe for a change.

i LOVE this shoe but it was too small so keeping my fingers crossed that the 41 will work.
