Cute, comfy - I am tall, I have size 10 feet, and I don't like heels. It's hard to find a flat shoe that doesn't make it look like I'm wearing clown shoes, because they stick out so far from my pant leg. But these are great! The curly-cue detail helps, and matches my curly hair. Look good with jeans or black pants. The insoles are nice and comfy, with good arch support. Good for walking in the city, which I do every day. The website says to order a size smaller than you normally would, so I ordered a 40 instead of 41, since often I am a size 9 1/2 depending on the shoe. The 40 fits but has no wiggle room for thick socks or anything.

The best boot ever!! I saw this boot in the National Geographic Catalog and thought it looked interesting. I ordered it through Zappos for a better price and shipping is fast. This is the most comfortable boot I have had on my feet in years...people stop me and ask where I got those very cool boots!! 5 star rating...easily. Leslie from Utah

Size Issues - I found that the shoe runs a bit small so I had a shoemaker stretch it. Now if fits well. I would estimate about 1/2 smaller than usual.

Finally! This is, by far, the most comfortable fitting shoe I have ever worn. I suffer from heel and ball of foot pain and all that pain disappears when I wear this shoe. The design is so fantastic looking and everyone that sees them makes positive comments. These shoes, for me, are more comfortable than my Finn Comforts. I wear a 6 1/2 and the size 7 fits perfect.

Comfort with class... This boot is so comfortable, it's almost like wearing a slipper. They do run wider than normal so if you have a narrow foot you need heavier socks.

Not what I expected - I expected this shoe to be ultra comfortable because of this brand. These are the Israeli version of Birkenstock! I will be sending them back. Just not as comfortable as some of the other Naot's I have purchased.

Neat bootie - I've only worn this once so far but it was for all day and the boot was very comfortable. The only downside is that they are rather difficult to put on. It's a struggle but once on they are fine. A zipper would have been helpful.

Pronators take care - The heel of this shoe is narrow and pronators must take care not to turn their ankles. Otherwise, this is a most comfortable shoe and very attractive. It accommodates my orthotics nicely.

Seriously comfortable and light - I bought these for my wife, who teaches first grade in a Waldorf school. They look really good (better than the web pictures suggest), and she keeps saying how much she likes walking in them. Ah, for once I got the *right* thing for her! She tried both her regular size and a size down, and the size was accurate. They're so light and softly-fitting though; that it's easy to think they're a bit big.

Pricey, comfortable shoe for walking - This shoe is rather pricey, but very comfortable. I have been wearing it around the house on the carpet to be sure that it stays comfortable before deciding to keep it. I can wear it for hours without any problem and my feet are often painful due to chemotherapy induced neuropathy.

These are comfortable, neat-looking boots. Really enjoyed the way these feel and look. Can't figure out what the reviewer who complained about no zipper was talking about. They have a side zipper, and are easy to get on and off.

These are the most comfortable shoes ever. I have bad feet that always hurt and I have walked miles and miles around London in these and they are the best. True to size, not big, kept my feet dry and were great. I bought both colors.

This shoe semi-boot is fantastic. I bought it with lots of walking in mind while visiting San Francisco (while looking good with skinny black pants, jeans, etc., and without having a sneaker effect). This is not always easy to come by, but with this Naot it was made possible. Although this particular brand claims a 37 is a size 6, while most of the others claim a 37 is a 6-1/2-7, it fit very well. (I usually am a 6-1/2 in USA size.) The very first day I wore these I probably walked for 6-7 hours and was still able to put them on the very next day and still feel comfy. Try them, you might like them! If you ever walked the streets of San Francisco you will know what I am talking about. Yikes! Especially coming from New York.

Love these boots. Soft and comfortable and the sizing is accurate. They are also lightweight. I can no longer wear heels, but these boots give me the style that I might get with heels. I've gotten many compliments on these boots. They look good with pants, but one could also wear them with a skirt. Love them.

These boots are the best. They have lots of toe room which I appreciate for the end of the day when my feet seem to be a bit bigger than they were in the morning. The ankle length is nice for keeping my feet cooler and the flat heel makes them my go-to boots for long days. They are my favorite all-around everyday shoes. And I have received many compliments on how cute they are. I bought two pair, black and burgundy.

Putting on these shoes is like putting on a pair of slippers with an arch and a sole. They are incredibly comfortable, and appear as durable as the shoes of the same design. I have been up and walking long distances and for long time periods with literally no break in period. They fit true to my size, as the shoes do.
