Customer Reviews Naot Wanaka

This is a gorgeous boot. I love the classic look of its smooth lines. And it is so comfortable! The leather is very soft. I think the arch support is just right. I love Naot shoes, but this is just the best as far as I am concerned. It does run just a bit small, but don’t let that put you off. Try these boots. If they are too small go up a size; if you try a larger size and they are too big, go down a size, but don’t miss these gems. I usually wear 39. After reading the reviews saying they ran small, I ordered a 40. They allow me to wear socks with these boots – great for long walks. But then I thought I would try a pair in 39. Turns out they are a wonderful fit all around. My toes have enough room, and my heel feels secure. I can wear them with stockings or tights, but not socks. Since I usually wear tights in the winter, so they are perfect. I can wear them all day with great comfort. Note that these boots give a little, so if they are a smidge tight, give them a couple of days to shape to your foot. Note that the leather of the chestnut color is very smooth while the leather of the black and bordeaux leather is slightly pebbled, but all very lovely and great looking.

The quality of this boot is different, I noticed the foot bed insole is thinner and the shoe itself seems cheaper than usual, the heels slip and rub so for me they had to go back not enough heel support. Normally this platform kuru is my go to. I loved the color.

I wear the Naot Kerei in size 41 (women's 10) for work and have for 9 years. This has the same sole/base style, but the 41 felt very tight in both length and width (without socks on). I am returning and ordering the 42 (women's 11).

This bootie just didn’t work for me, the toe box pinched my little toe (despite the fact that another pair of same size Naot booties from the same order fit beautifully). The arch support was not what I expect from Naot. The style was smart looking on my feet - although I didn’t really care for the rubber sole, but they were too uncomfortable to keep.

Runs small, both in length and ankle room.

The leather was super nice, but my ankles stick out to much, so it was rubbing the leather always. So for my foot it did not fit well. But it is an awesome shoe.

Beautiful bootie shoe. Color is beautiful. Ran a bit narrow and short with sock for winter. I am most always size 38 (7) but not in this shoe. Got the 39.

I have several shoes from the Koru collection. They work well for the shape of my foot and are very comfortable for me. When I read the reviews for Wanaka, I saw people were finding this boot to be shorter in length than they had expected, so I ordered it in a 40 instead of my usual 39. I am so glad I did! The toe box is just right, especially since I will wear tights or thin socks with them. The heel is surprisingly wide (unusual for a shoe in the Koru collection), but I put a small lift in the back and they are just fine. I love the way they look and feel, and I know these will be my go-to shoes throughout the cooler months.

Very cute but doesn't accommodate high insteps.

I ordered my usual size in these boots, which did not work at all. They were a whole size too small. So I ordered a size larger, and they fit fine. Very comfortable, no wear-in period needed. Got this style to replace another Naot style - Chi - which had worked fine in my normal size but for some reason this Wanaka style required a size larger.

These are beautiful boots! They felt a bit shorter and I did not want to run the risk of having foot problems with that.

The boot is so cute and comfortable. I wear braces and they work great except the outer zipper keeps sliding down affecting my stability.

I ordered this bootie for my trip to Rome and wore them out of the box, walking all over cobblestones, up hills, marble floors, etc. for a week. PERFECT and most comfortable shoe as all NAOTs are. I cannot say enough about this brand for comfort, and a well made shoe. None others have matched their quality and I have tried several. I have worn them for 20 years (I'm 60 y.o.) and hope to wear them for 20 more touring the world.

Hard to pull on.. Beautiful leather. I usually wear a 41 comfortably

Very cute and could-be a very comfy bootie, however they ran 1 size smaller! My poor toes couldn't bear the pain. Don't know if they would stretch, or break-in, because they were very tight to begin with. For reference, 41 is my go-to size in Naot sandals and 42 for closed-toe shoes and boots. I bought the 42 in these and they were too small. Sadly, very sadly, they go back.

I was preparing to return these, as with my orthotics they were too small. I tried them without my orthotics, they were very comfortable, I took them out of the box, put them on and wore them to a meeting. I had them on all day long, and never had a problem. I will buy another color at another time.

I bought these to replace my Naot Chi booties that I had for years. I decided to go with the simpler style of the Wanaka. I love these booties!! They fit immediately and are so comfortable. I love the way they look, simple yet fun w/two zippers. I will probably wear them daily with everything.

Initially, I got my normal size 9 - which fit great in the Naot 'Chi' style. But I had to return the size 9 and go UP a size to 10 in this 'Wanaka' style.

Everything about this boot is wonderful. It doesn’t have a high heel, just nice soft cushiony rubber. The arch support is pretty good, but I removed the insole and put in my own orthotic so they feel perfect. Like they were made for me. They are plain and nice looking and oh so comfortable. I ordered my standard 41 and the size is perfect too.

Beautiful leather. Perfect size 11 and very comfortable.

I have neuropathy so I wanted a more cushiony boot, but overall it was good.

I loved the ways these looked, but I ordered a full size up and they were STILL too short. Width and arch support were good, but definitely runs very small. They were also very tight, but I don’t worry about that as much because they are made from good leather and will break in to fit your foot. But the sizing is so off. Sad.

The boot was beautiful but just too small. Something about the heel hurt too. Sadly returning!

I have had two pairs of NAOT boots in the past. Have loved them and worn them out. This particular style was narrower in the toe and wider in the heel. Also had a thinner sole. They felt tight in the toe and too loose in the heel. Uncomfortable, so am returning them.

The left shoe was great, but the right felt like a different size and width...too small. I love the shoe so I'm going to reorder another pair and hope both feet are the same. I've never had this happen before, so I'm wondering if it's because they came from through Amazon and not directly from Zappos?
