Customer Reviews Naot Taupo

I love NAOT shoes, especially those in the Koru collection. They fit the shape of my foot very well. I had hoped that this shoe would fit the way Matua does on my foot, but it felt much bigger all around for me. The shoe seems well made, and I like the look of it, but a flat without a strap needs to fit well. I am going to have to send this back and try it in a 38. Here's hoping!

Based on all the reviews that came before me, I ordered two pairs of these shoes, one in my usual Naot size, 41 and one in 42, since several people said they ran short. I found that they ran a slight bit longer than most of my other 41s, and much much wider, especially at the heel. I could walk out of both of them. That said, I wear a 9.5 and am in between medium and narrow. Most Koru-line Naots are too big for me -- so I only an buy the maryjanes, and the strap helps hold them on well enough. These are just plain too big. And a tiny bit too long for my larger foot, a whole size too long for my smaller fit. Usually Naot is the blended size shoes that I can wear fine on both feet. So, I 'm returning both pairs. I'd love some simple Naot flats, but alas, not these. Too bad. When they fit they're extremely comfortable and supportive.

I almost exclusively wear Naot shoes due to a badly healed fractured foot and a tendency to fall because of the lingering pain and discomfort. Naot solved the that problem for me, with their fine support and non-slip soles. I normally wear a 40 in the Koru line. I had been waiting a long time for Naot to make a shoe which wasn't a Mary Jane that you could put on without a shoe horn. I was delighted. At last! However, the 40 was too big and my heel wouldn't stay in the shoe, and the 39 was too small and hurt my toes. And by the way, they were absolutely hideous on my feet in person. Returned.

I wear almost exclusively Naots because of the arch support, comfort and consistency of sizing. This style is a little longer and wider, but that may be due to the lack of a strap. I added a foam insole to tighten the fit, which works. This is the best ballet flat I have found.

These are beautiful shoes. I found them to be slightly too small lengthwise as my left front toe was very close to the edge of the shoe. If Naot would make their shoes in half sizes I could have ordered a half size up. From experience with Naot shoes though, the next size up would be too large for me. With this style of shoe that would have made them unwearable so sadly, I am returning them. I am tired of wearing Mary Jane style Naots but they are the only style that works for my feet.

Cute shoes! They were comfortable from the start. Wore my regular size which is always a tad big in Naot's since they don't have half sizes.

These are too small for me.

Loved the style of the shoes and was hoping they would finally be a pair of ballet type flat that would work for me.....i ordered a size up and they were a little too big......but the killer was how high the back of the shoe was on my foot....it irritated the area so i didn't think ordering my normal naot size would matter.

Previous reviews were correct. The shoes do not fit like Naot shoes. They are too wide in the heel and too long

Tried 2 sizes and both too wide. Toe shaping was not flattering.

It's so hard to find a true navy shoe.This was the answer to my problem. Unfortunately I am returning this shoe because it runs small in size. I normally wear a 41 (size10)> I would gladly reorder a 10.5 but Naot doesn't sell half sizes. Great looking shoe.

I love Naot shoes. These didn’t disappoint!

These shoes are like walking on clouds. I had to ditch my heels due to aging knees, and have been on the hunt for comfortable shoes I can wear to work and court. These are amazing. They're super cute in person, fit amazingly, and give great support to my feet when I'm standing or walking most of the day. My feet feel secure in the shoe, the 40 fit me great and I'm usually either a 8.5 or 9 shoe size.

I love this shoe! First steps in the house were good enough to wear to dinner that night! I put on a pair of “footies” and all felt fine. We walked to dinner about 1/3 of a mile, not far and my left shoe was rubbing on my heal in two places where the seams were joining. Walking home was miserable. I called the next morning and asked if I had any recourse for a return as I did wear the shoes outside. I was asked to print the return label and drop them off at the UPS store. thank you Zappos!

These are very good quality shoes. Had to send back first pair in my usual size 6 & exchange for a 5.5. Now perfect fit. Very happy with this brand. Have worn it before.

This shoe was advertised as EU 36 but translated to size 5-5.5 US. I normally wear a EU 35 in Algeria and Dansko; however, trusting the fit listed by the manufacturer, I ordered the EU 36. (This was the smallest size offered.) As usual, this 36 fit like a 5.5-6. It doesn’t sound like too much of an issue, if you can tolerate your feet coming out of shoes with every step. It also felt a little tight in the instep. I am keeping the shoes and can wear them with the help of inserts. But to be honest, I doubt I will wear them often.

too small to try

I normally wear 10-10.5 wide. Size 41 Naot used to fit, but these were short and narrow. Wish their sizing was more consistent. I think I'd walk right out of 42s.

shoe not comfortable due to plantar faciatis

Do not believe anyone that tells you that a Euro 43 is equal to a US 12. Just not true.

I love Naot shoes, but this pair of flats was too small for me, which is unusual for Naot's. Guess I'll keep wearing their Mary Jane's.

Material was very nice leather but the foot bed was not comfortable and the arch support was not what I expected from Naot
