I purchased the green which is a light neutral shade that will go with a lot of outfit colors. The leather is soft and buttery and the Naot foot bed is supportive and comfortable. The style is flattering and the sandal can be easily adjusted to fit. If the heel was a little higher I would have kept it. Unfortunately my bad back requires a bit of a higher heel. I highly recommend this Naot for those of you who like the height of this shoe. You might want to size up though if you have a wider foot.

Really loved the look of these sandals, however the foot strap was too narrow. :-(

This shoe was suppose to be a size 6 and is more like a size 7- 7.5.

I really like the style of the Naot Alpicola. And they are very comfortable, though a little narrow for my (admittedly wide) foot. So, for me, it felt a bit narrow when it was marked as being considered medium width.
The main thing I'd like to point out is that the "saddle brown" colour is darker than it appears in the figure, so much so, that I exchanged them for the black. Rather than a medium brown, it's definitely a much darker brown.

I like this shoe, but i’m not entirely thrilled because:
(a) the front strap is tight at times making them suddenly uncomfortable;
(b) the velcro fastening heel strap is a bit awkward to fasten snugly;
(c) the shoe almost covers my ankle, and i’m not sure i like that for a summer sandal;
(d) i think they make my feet look bigger because of the separation between the ankle/heel strap and the front band.
On the plus side:
The black nubuck leather is soft and feels good;
The shoe feels very supportive with very good arch support and very comfortable footbed;
The heel is just right; i don’t do well with completely flat sandals though i do like the way they look on others (because i am short 5’3” with big feet 9 to 9.5 i feel i need at least a little bit of a heel);
The sole is quiet and gives a very nice cushioned ride, very comfortable;
The style is cute and different;
The straps and lacing make the shoe very adjustable so that you can get a perfectly snug, supportive fit fairly easily.

I did end up with a size smaller than other
Naots. Not a problem
with Zappos excellent return policy. Love these sandals soooooo much. Incredible arch support and my ankles are supported as well. I have a tendency to "turn" my ankle and toe a tendon. I feel secure in these. But regardless of all that, I would have bought them for the bohemian vibe!!!

My insoles fit without much trimming. They didn’t really fit down inside at the heel but it’s ok. This is a sturdy shoe. Not for someone with narrow feet. The ankle strap is quite long. My ankles are thick and I’m on the tightest adjustment without having the Velcro hang over.

I splurged on myself. I was planning on sending them back if there was anything I did not like. I really love these sandals. I'm keeping them! They are different and so comfortable. They don't flop all over. I recently had severe plantar fascitis. Holy smokes! It felt like I was standing on a ladder barefoot! I swore I am going to get a very nice sandal that fits and feels wonderful. I found them! Highly recommend. I'm going to get more NAOTS.

Never had a pair of Naot shoes before, but these are really nice. They are very good quality. I got the coal color in black, and it looks modern and stylish. I’ve only worn it one day to work all day, but I had no pain for the first wear. The front strap did not seem tight and it did not bother me or cause me pain. I bought these because we are going to Barcelona Spain in a few months, and I wanted to wear a stylish shoe that was also comfortable when I walk around the city. Based on the reviews, I bought these. The laces do not bother me in the least. I love the adjustable Velcro on the back so that you can adjust the shoes to your liking.I would order another pair of Naot shoes again. I normally wear 8 1/2, bought these in 39 and they fit perfectly.

I really like this shoe... stylish, great oiled leather finish and wanted to get it really bad. However, for my foot and ankle the fit just didn't work. I am sure it will for many people but the leather at the upper part of the ankle rubbed on me and I think it is just because of my body structure. Not the shoes fault. Love Zappos for giving me the opportunity to look and not buy with such ease.

I love Naot, but returned these because I didn't care for the style, and my daughter said they looked like "old Lady orthotics!" which is the kiss of death in style for me!

Beautiful sea foam green color; however the straps at the top of foot and at the ankle were too wide for my boney foot. Not comfortable on me. Unique style, though.

This is a beautiful sandal but are not made for even my average foot width as the strap cuts in where the smallest toe sits . Hated to return them but couldn’t justify the price and not know if I could break the sandals in

Wanted to love this shoe but the high wrap around ankle just did not work for me. I love Naot and especially love that they offer many more contemporary styles than other shoe makers. I had to return.
Thanks Zappos for your wonderful customer service policies.

These sandals look better online than in person and the fit is not good. They are too long and the toe strap is too tight.

Super-cute. But the strap across the toes was too tight and not suited for bunions.
Sadly returning.
