NAOT Footwear's Women's Lace-up Kata Shoe

Love, love, love these shoes. They’re absolutely beautiful & super comfortable! You can’t go wrong with Naot!!!

This was my first pair of Naots (I ordered two styles, kept these, and have since bought a pair of ‘sneakers’ from this brand as well.) I had never heard of this brand and am not a sandal person. But I needed really good, suppportive shoes so I could walk around Italy (and life in general) despite my painful, problem feet and knees—including one that’s recently been replaced, and one that still needs to be.These shoes are/were immediately really comfortable and really supportive. This footbed is amazing! Great arch support. And the sole is thick, non-slip, and provides solid, cushioned, support.I double-crossed the laces in the middle at first (between the two loops) until I got use to having something rubbing a little at the front of my ankle (I wanted them tight), but got over that pretty quickly. I love the extra support the laces and the piece at the back of the heel provide for my ankles. I love the fact that my toes are covered and enclosed (and stay clean!).These are super-comfortable, supportive, shoes that stay on without any effort or slipping, and are kind of funky/cute enough to go with anything. (I ordered them in the light tan.) As comfortable as my favorite New Balance without that ‘I’m-wearing-gym-shoes’ look. My only complaint is that one shoe squeaks—well, not so much squeaks, as sounds like I’m stepping on a small, but VERY annoyed, frog. I hoping (hopping?!) that will go away eventually, but I like these so much that I’m willing to put up with it for a bit.I understand that Naot has several different footbeds—this one has the arch support I need, and, in combination with this great sole (a little hard to describe, but it’s both solid and soft), works for me. I bought another pair of Naots with this same footbed and sole in a sneaker style, and they’re great as well. I don’t know why they have to be so unbelievably expensive, but for me it’s the difference between walking and not, so totally worth it.

These shoes are attractive and healthy for your feet.

I have a narrow foot and neuromas. It is so hard to find shoes to fit either issue. THIS SHOE DOES THE TRICK FOR BOTH! I can loosen it or tighten it at the top of the foot and the ankle and the toe box is perfect - not too wide and not too narrow. It is so cushiony and comfortable! And so cute! I had high hopes and and they are perfectly met!

got 'em! thank you. this is my second pair of this exact shoe. my first pair got wet and one shoe squeaked with every step. I tried alot of tricks but could not stop the squeak. i loved the shoes so i bought a new pair.

Love this shoe but had to return the size 9 as too short. I’m a solid size 9 and my toes were cramped. Returned shoes for the next size up & they fit perfectly. The return was very easy & very quickly sent out again. I really appreciated that. The only con are the laces. They have a coating on them that allows them to come untied easier than they should but not a big deal. The shoe is very pretty & I’ve received several compliments on them. They are a little pricey for me but I plan on getting another pair in a different color. NAOT brand was recommended by my podiatrist for casual/dress shoes due to my hammertoes. I positively Love these shoes and so do my feet!

I saw these on a shopping channel last week and feel in love - women everywhere understand this! They had the grey iguana which is what I landed on to be universal if you will for shades of denim and with black. They look good on and feel good too but now that I have the grey I'm disappointed that the highs and lows in materials used is not that noticeable. I opted to also try the gorgeous british tan from the tv channel, same price, no s/h there and on easy pay to try them. The colors used in this one make this shoe a real stunner. I may keep both but WOW are these pricey for something I typically purchase. I treat myself now & then - this is a now!

Truth is these shoes are extremely comfortable BUT I was sent the wrong size therefore the fit was off .I’ve owned a pair of these before and it’s like your feet are being massaged super comfy.The seller does not provide accurate size descriptions as too how sizes are measured ... apparently different countries who use the EU measurements have different meaning as compared to USA measurements.

These shoes are amazing! The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is the inner corner of the footbed is really hard and digs in, so you have to wear socklets, you can’t wear bare feet. They are super comfortable for all day wear, and perfect for narrow small feet. The heel rubs if you don’t have heel grips in.

Very thin sole.
