Customer Reviews Naot Blaire

I purchased these shoes for sightseeing. I knew I would be on my feet a long time, but I did not want to wear sneakers. I was looking for an attractive sandal with a sneaker type support. I used these sandals all weekend, visiting parks, museums and touring stately homes. I needed to climb many stairs, walk on uneven ground, and spend hours on hard floors. The shoes were very comfortable and supportive in each circumstance. They fit securely. The toe strap helps keep the shoes from slipping, as sandals often do, though it felt a bit tight the first day. The style is more chunky than my usual sandal, but much less than a sneaker, and very cool and airy in South Florida summer. Overall, the shoes was perfect for my purposes. I will definitely purchase this style again.

I purchased a lighter color first and liked them so much I ordered a black pair. They are both very nice shoes, excellent workmanship. I like the fact the heel strap actually fits as I have narrow heels. They are comfortable, the style is very flattering, they’re now my favorite sandals, I like them even more than the Danskos I have, and also the fact they are handmade in Israel and not China. I own 3 other Naot sandals. I do not however feel they would be right for feet wider than a little narrow to true medium. The slightly higher heel is great.

I'm a size 8 and the 39 was the right size. Initially I ordered a 38 based on some reviews that said it ran large - it doesn't. This is pretty nice-looking for a comfort sandal, but it is still clearly a comfort sandal. I like the between-the-toe bit that keeps my foot from sliding too far forward without having to cinch the strap down too much (which is good, because it is not comfortable when I do that). My only complaint (besides the price) is that there really isn't any arch support. I'm used to Teva flip flops, and these sandals are less comfortable for me because of the lack of arch support. I walked about a half-mile in them and the lack of arch support wasn't awful, but I was hoping to use these on a trip which would involve a lot more walking, and I'm not sure about that.

This color was not good for me, even though most people raved about the color. It clashed with my skin tone. I also have knee replacements & the slight heel made these a little uncomfortable. But what really was unbearable was my big toe felt like it was strangling and both feet seemed to be at the edge of the sandals -both front and back - too small (I wear a size 9 & got a size 9). Yet I had to pull the ankle strap as tight as I could get it.

I love Naot shoes! I can only wear their sandals though because the closed toe shoes run a little short and I wear a 11(42) so can;t alwys size up. These shoes were extremely attractive, moderately supportive and I loved them, but I have never had a shoe with a toe loop before and that bothered me. It's probably totally me, but I had to send them back.

These shoes were amazingly comfortable straight from the box. And for “comfort” sandals, they are pretty darn cute looking too! I got the beige and it’s a lovely color. Highly recommend these. If they came in another color other than black, I’d be tempted to buy a second pair.

These are the prettiest shoes I've bought in a long time, as well as being very comfortable. Haven't taken them out for an outing yet, but they seem very promising.

Very comfortable!! Wanted to keep all 3 pairs from this brand! I kept 2!

Naot is the most comfortable brand of sandal and this is no exception. At first I thought the individual strap around the toe was too tight but it felt fine once I had the shoe completely on. I can't usually wear any sort of heel but this small wedge works out perfectly for me. Naot shoes can be pricey but I firmly believe I get what I pay for!

I put these sandals on as soon as they were delivered and didn't want to take them off. As is true of most Naot shoes, they fit my foot just perfectly. Just proves once again why I select Naot for sandals time and again. I have several pairs which are three and four years old. The workmanship is great and the leathers of good quality. They are pricey but worth it!

Nice looking shoe, however there's no give or bend in the sole - the cork footbed remains pretty stiff with each step. Also didn't feel cushioned enough for me. The two colors of leather/suede were not as subtle as shown. Had to return them.

Fit is true to size. Although, it attaches with a Velcro strap, it looks somewhat dressy.

When these sandals arrived I was surprised to find that they have a toe post. Nothing in the description mentioned that. Fortunately, I don’t have a problem with that and it just makes the sandal more stable on the foot. It is very soft and comfortable and doesn’t bother me at all. Ever since I had a permanent injury to my foot Several years ago, The only sandals I can wear without pain are from the Naot Elegant Collection. I wish Naot would make a closed walking shoe with that exact foot bed and platform. I can’t wear sandals in the winter here in the Midwest.

Nice shoe, just not enough support for my need.

I have rarely experienced such comfort the first time I have put on a shoe. I will definitely be keeping these. I have fallen arches and I have found that Naot shoes are more comfortable on me than any other brand. But even among the several pairs of Naots I already own, these stand out for their comfort and style. I love the toe loop because it keeps your foot from sliding forward. These were a great buy and I am very happy with them.

I wanted to love these, but just didn't once they arrived. The suede and leather mix didn't seem obvious in the pictures, but when I received them, the colors just didn't seem complimentary to each other, or my skin tone. There was also a mark on the suede of the left sandal, almost like the suede had been rubbed off that I just couldn't get over. Sadly,I returned them.

This was the first time trying Naot sandals. I normally wear an 8 (Cole Haan, Franco Sarto, Sam Edelman Circus) However these Naots run very big. So I recommend ordering a size down. I didn't like the strap in between my toes. They make great sandals and last forever according to my Mom.

I have a hard time finding footwear to fit & be comfortable. These Naot sandals do both! The footbed feels like it was custom made for my feet. I only gave 3 stars for style because I don't care for the velvet black nubuck on the strap. I was so impressed after wearing them for just 1 day I ordered another pair of Naot sandals in a different style (Kayla) the next day. And they fit just as well!

One of the prettiest Naots made, but it's narrow for my foot and hits my bunion in exactly the wrong spot. Sad to see them go back.

Love the look and fit....holding final opinion pending how comfortably the big toe strap wears.

I loved the look of these shoes. The leather on the ankle strap is especially gorgeous. it has a warm undertone that makes it look like a beatiful patina. I love a toe loop too. For some reason these just didn't fit quite right. So I had to pass on them.

Lovely Stone color, midway between gray and taupe-beige. Straight out of the box, the shoes felt quite narrow on the toe bed, but after wearing for a short while the leather relaxed and better conformed to my feet. The fit was perfect for my heels and the big toe loop helps keep my foot securely in place. The weight of the shoes is "feather-lite" and I found the foot bed to be extremely cushion-y and comfortable. The strap with the hook/loop crosses the top of the foot diagonally, which I find to be both flattering and nicely feminine. Think I might need to procure a few more colors in this style! I especially have been looking for attractive footwear that will secure my foot from rolling to the side. Nice height shoe, especially comfortable for my new knee.

So disappointed that they were too narrow but sure are super cute! Must return.

The stone color is a nice neutral, and the sandal is cute, but the sizing is off. The strap that goes behind the ankle is too long. The sandal fit my foot other than this strap, which was hanging loose behind my ankle and not providing any support to my foot when walking. The strip between the toes felt odd at first, but I probably could get used to it if the rest of the sandal fit.
