The perfect shoe... finally! This is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. Fantastic support and perfect wide (9-2E) shoe for those who have a hard time finding comfortable wide shoes. Right out of the box, these fit perfectly... length and width . It is like walking on a cloud... they are the best!... as is ZAPPOS for the world's best and fastest service.

12 hour shoes - I regularly work 12 hour days and these shoes get me thru. They're very cushy and still seem to have enough support. If you have foot pain, these shoes will get you better. I wouldn’t wear any other shoe for walking.

Wow, what a surprise - I'm a gal with a real wide foot and men's shoes always fit better, but look like men’s shoes. I thought I would give these a try and they're great! At first I didn't like the feel of them and then I read the directions and designed the insole that felt best. I was complimented on how stylish they are. I wear them with jeans and casual dress pants and my feet feel good all day. They are a great walking shoe and I will order them again.

Extremely comfortable right out of the box. No adjustment was needed. I like the style of the shoe and its' features. This shoe will last a long time. My next purchase will be their running shoes.

I have several pairs of these boots. They are the only shoe I can comfortably walk any distance in. The basic structure seems very solid. There is definitely something right about the arch and shape of the sole, very good support (supports my full orthotic well). I walk in snow and rain and stay warm and dry. I'm not sure why because the upper materials seem strange in some way, not the same rugged feel you'd get from an Ecco boot. Although, it is holding up fine. Just seems to stretch when I pull the laces tight, but I have a wide foot and have to work with very wide shoes. All in all, I'm thankful for the Aetrex trail runner. So far, it's been very good to me.

Comfortable and supportive - I have tried a lot of shoes to find one that will stand up to all day in my sculpture studio. With the Aetrex high arch insole, this is the most comfortable and supportive shoe I have ever used. It is also well made and kudos to Zappos for their extraordinary service.

The Best - I found this shoe to be excellent for long periods of standing and walking. I especially like the inserts that came with the shoe. It allows me to custom design the inner sole for the best comfort.

Comfortable shoes with good style, but not great quality. The soles starting coming off after less than a year of very light use. I expected more from such pricey shoes.

Very comfortable - comes in wide widths!\r\n\r\nI\'ve found these shoes to be high quality and very comfortable. I have had big foot problems for the past 15 years resulting in the use of orthotics but also requiring just the right shoe in addition to avoid pain. As my feet get worse over time, my previous \'just right\' brand wasn\'t cutting it any more. \r\n\r\nI was hesitant at the 30% higher price of this shoe, but gave it a try given Zappos return policy. This is now my new \'just right\' shoe, and I\'ve accepted that I\'m not going to find the right shoe for under a hundred bucks. The heel pain I was developing in my old brand (but a new pair) has gone away.\r\n\r\nFinally, if you narrow search results looking for 4E width, this shoe will fall out of the results because they call it XW with (3E/4E) in parenthesis, which apparently the search engine cannot handle. I\'d have bought them 6 months earlier if it weren\'t for that!\r\n\r\n

Maybe I got a bad pair? I like the idea of the shoe and the left shoe even felt very comfortable. But the good ends there. My first complaint is there is was something wrong with the right shoe. When my foot was in it, it felt part of the sole was made wrong and an large area was pushing into the bottom of my foot. This makes me think Quality Control wasn't very good at their job this day. Next complaint is with the laces. The shoes came tightened as much as possible with 4 inches of lace left on each side. Once I loosened it a little there wasn't enough lace to tie the shoe. Fully tight they are not loose enough for a truly wide foot. I think they may have had laces for narrow shoe on a wide shoe. Because of this I'll say they felt narrower than marked.

Love, love, love these sandals - I have sore feet all the time. I bought these in NYC and wore them all over town for 3 days straight and my feet felt great.

Love this shoe! This shoe is perfect. I have bunions and found this shoe to be the perfect blend of comfort and style. Ordered 38, even though in US size I wear an 8 and it fits perfectly. Love this shoe. Worth every penny. Thanks Zappos for excellent customer service.

Comfortable walking sandal - Very comfy, no breaking in period. Ridges around the edges are a little hard to get used to. Does run narrow... usually have to order a narrow in other shoes, but a medium in this shoe fit fine.

NAOT Orion: FANTASTIC!!!! This is my second pair of these shoes. I wore the first ones for 3 years, and they're still good. I have walked many miles in these and I find them, extremely comfortable, stylish, and well made. They have great arch support and a correctly balanced footbed which is a necessity for me because I have a moderate over pronation.

Mismatch - I love the look of the shoe, but it's made for someone with a much higher arch. My feet are bony and this shoe is too big.

Great summer shoe and super-comfortable! The cork footbed molds to your foot like a Birk, but so much cuter than any Birk I've seen! I wore them all over New York for a week and my feet felt fine! Well worth the price.

So comfy!! Love this sandal, it very stylish and very comfortable. I have a very narrow foot and have a difficult time with sandals. I can wear this shoe because of the elastic band across the top. I would highly recommend this shoe!! LOVE IT!!

These shoes look good, but if you have wide feet watch out. The elastic covers the widest part of the foot - which is nice; however, it will also make it slide out much of the time. I have never tripped nor almost-tripped so much in my life. They are generally comfortable except for the slippage. I would not buy this style again, though I like Naot a lot. For a wide foot, this is not a good shoe. Beware.
