Women's

I really love these shoes -- I am on my sixth pair (second set of each of three different colors). I can walk 8-10 miles in them while sightseeing, which is a truly awesome shoe. However, I have two issues with them. First, the sizing is inconsistent -- pairs of the same size fit slightly differently. If you get one that feels slightly "off" for your foot, I would recommend trying the same size/color again because the second pair might fit differently. Second, the straps stretch out, so they are only good for long-distance walking the first summer you wear them. By the next summer, they are still comfortable, but don't provide enough support for very long distances. So that's a bit disappointing. Finally, I'll note that, although my feet are wide, these are not a problem. I think it depends on where/how your feet are wide -- these fit the shape of my feet just right (narrow heels, wide in the bunion area, then taper back in).

I have just recently started wearing these because right after I ordered them, I bashed my toes, and the service at Zappos is so great, I could have worn them the next day! The cork footbed is very supportive and comfortable, but they do run short. I measure "true to size" an 11 & 1/2 narrow. I really wanted the adjustable Carly, but this is one of the few Naots that come in a 43 or 44. I probably could have used the 44; there is no extra toe room in these 43's. Having a long narrow foot that needs support, I appreciate these shoes, but I'm down beat about Naot cutting of so many cool shoes/sandals at 42 -- since so many run short anyway, they're cutting out those who wear a true 11. I would love to get a Naot shoe for winter that was supportive and fit narrow; I feel like us tall women with long feet are out of the loop! I think this Kayla will work, though because the ankle strap keeps my foot seated correctly, and the foot bed keeps my foot from sliding around. The straps are very soft and comfortable, and they're very attractive. Please Naot, make more shoes in "extended sizes."

Too small! I wear a 13 women's. I compared this sandal to my other size 13 sandals and they are a full size smaller and narrower (narrower was expected, as per description)--very disappointed as they are cute! It is very hard to find comfortable sandals in my size so I wish they would get the sizing right and not put me through the hassle of ordering and returning.

I love these sandals! I have several years of experience with this style, and have found that these are by far the most comfortable sandals I've ever worn -- and I walk a lot. By buying a new pair every year, in a different color from the year before, I always have at least two pairs to choose from. One word of warning -- they do run somewhat narrow, but are perfect for me (normally a AA). (If you check the Naot website, you will see that they are listed among their narrower styles.)
