Kumera - This shoe is magnificent. Great arch support and light weight. You barely know you have shoes on.

Stylish comfort shoe - Naot is the only brand that has enough arch support that I can wear them off the shelf. I have been waiting for a stylish walking shoe for a while. This is it.

The best shoe ever - I have very bad feet and legs. It is close to impossible to find a casual tennis type shoe for my feet. When I saw Naot had these shoes, I not only liked the look, but I know from wearing their sandals that the shoe molds to your foot. I love them and wish I could get two more pairs. They are expensive, but you truly get what you paid for.

Naot Kumara - Most comfortable shoe ever. I have 2 pair, well worth the price. Very supportive footbed and kind of becomes "one" with your foot, yet the soft leather upper allows for all the bumps and bunions. I don't need my orthotics in them because they are so supportive Dressier than tennis shoes. I have had LOTS of positive comments, and I would buy another similar Naot style

Naot Kumara - I wanted something more sporty than a tennis shoe, more of a walking shoe and these are them! These shoes have a high arch which I don't have, but after I wore them a few times, my feet got use to the high arch. The leather is super soft, so it really molds to your feet. Definitely worth the cost. I get compliments on them all the time!

Really nice-looking sneaker. However, the 35 is definitely not a size 4 but larger by almost a full size. I can keep the shoe because it's possible to tighten the laces; otherwise it would be too generous. I love the white and silver style.

Great shoes - I have been suffering with plantar fasciitis and a friend suggested your shoes. This is the best advice I ever had. I get compliments on the style of the shoe and I tell them about the comfort.

Brands I'd also recommend: I gave your name to several coworkers(I am a nurse) and a doctor who suffered with the same thing.

A Great, Comfortable Shoe - I bought these shoes just prior to a recent trip. I needed a great pair of walking shoes, because I'm experiencing heel pain in one foot. I haven't worn anything else for the last three weeks. These are hands-down, the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. Great arch support! And cute too...I get lots of compliments!

A walking dream - I have one foot that is one size bigger than the other. No problem for these soft walking shoes. You can adjust this soft shoe by cinching the laces. Ready to wear, no breaking in. They are so comfortable that I am considering more Naots… budget permitting.

BEST Shoe I've EVER worn!! I've worn NAOTs in the past, and they were great, but this shoe was out of this world! I bought it based on the review someone wrote on how they wore it right out of the box in Rome for sightseeing. I did the same for a trip to New York and it was great! Super comfortable, no blisters, supportive, etc etc. I'm going to buy another color right now!!

Possibly perfect for you - While these shoes probably won't work for me because their arch supports don't line up with my foot, they're otherwise wonderfully cushioned *and* supportive - a hard combination to find. The leather is glove-soft, too. Finally, the edges of the shoes let your foot move rather than encasing it, as some higher-edged sport shoes do. In short, I think these are great shoes and wish that arch were placed just a little bit differently!

Dee from California - I just love this shoe. For me, this shoe ran a half size too small. After getting the right size, and putting this shoe on, it was a perfect fit. I stand on my feet all day and this shoe certainly measured up to my needs. I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot and cannot wear just any shoe. The arch support in this shoe is adequate for me as well. I have been wearing this shoe to work every day since I received them and each time people will notice my shoes. People always ask where did I find them and of course I always tell them. Thank you Zappos for having the best on line service. I never worry about ordering the wrong size with your customer service and postage policy.

Love them but must've gotten a dud - I absolutely love these shoes!!! I have arthritis in my spine and stand on very hard floors 10 hours a day. With these shoes my back, legs and feet don't hurt at the end of a long day. It has been very nice, however after just two weeks of owning the shoes (and not having worn them every day either- I bought a pair of Saucony's when I got this shoe) the sole of the right shoe came completely unglued. I am going to try another pair and hopefully this won't happen again. Zappos has been fabulous with their customer service and I am recommending others check them out when purchasing shoes!!

Kumara (black & white) I have been looking for a "sneaker" type shoe for ages. I needed something that was cut lower on the sides to clear an injury. I FOUND IT! These have terrific support but still manage to look great with a European style "edge" to them. I ordered a size down as recommended and they are perfect with a thin sport sock or toe covers. If you plan to wear a regular thick sport sock you might want to reconsider the sizing. I like them so much that I called the Naot Company to locate a pair in black which they were very gracious about and guided me in the right direction. These have enough style that they can be worn a level or two above the times when you want to wear a sneaker but it would be inappropriate to do so. Just keep in mind that while these are a wonderful walking shoe they are definitely NOT an exercise or sport shoe.

I am a hairdresser and stand on my feet all day long. I am constantly on the lookout for something stylish and comfortable. The shoe is extremely comfortable and somewhat stylish. My ten year old daughter said it looks like a "golf shoe", but likes it. I have gotten a lot of other "positive" feedback on the looks, but to be honest, they are so comfortable that I don't care if it looks like I'm going golfing.

"Like a glove" With a wide foot and narrower heel, it's rare to find a shoe that really fits. These felt like they were made for my feet. Comfortable room in the toebox, higher heed cup means no slipping. I originally sized down, but found I had to move up to my regular size for fit. Soft leather, supportive sole, accepts orthotic. Pricey, but wonderful shoe.

Perfect when sneakers are not appropriate - I bought these shoes in anticipation of a European tour as I don't want to look like an "ugly American" while in Paris or Athens and I know that sneakers are really what needs to be worn. Since they're arrival I’ve been wearing them on the weekends...No break-in period necessary! No socks required either! The shoe is deep enough I think for an orthotic, but I don't use one. And the look is more stylish than a sneaker. Wish there was a bit more arch support as I am flat-footed. I followed the reviews before me with regard to sizing and it was right on. Haven't gone to Europe yet...

Comfy - This is the first Naot tennis type shoe I've worn. It runs a little roomier and is like a ballet slipper in comfort, but still has the 'orthotic' like support and sole. I wore the same size as for their sandals as the smaller size was not available. No break in period required.
