When I first saw the shoes I was very excited. I felt they were right up my ally. Really handsome and stylish shoes. I normally don't spend $200.00 on a pair of shoes, but I figured the quality and construction would be excellent. WOW, WAS I WRONG!!!! This is the absolute worst pair of shoes I have ever purchased. They point out that the insole is made of cork. Big deal, the insole sucks and had to be replaced. After a month one shoe began to come apart the upper part of the shoe began to separate from the sole. I bought shoe goo and bonded it back together. That seemed to do the trick. A month later the other shoe fell part at work the upper almost entirely cam apart and I had to duct tape the shoe just to get through my shift. My father in law is a cobbler so I know what quality shoes are like and for $200.00 the soles should be stitched and glued to the upper. These shoes are all style and no substance and not worth the price. Also the black finish on the shoe can wear of easily exposing more of the red underneath. I have to give a HUGE SHOUTOUT to Zappos custermer service. They were notified of the problem and sent me another pair right way. Zappos did not want the messed up pair and told me to donate them. I actually wanted to send the shoes back to Zappos so the could contact NAOT and address the issue with them, but Zappos did not want the shoe in their inventory.

IM 11.5 usually but 45 or 12 us in this shoe is a perfect fit. I’m ordering another color next.

We have re-ordered these same several times because they are my husbands go-to. They look great for work and travel but are also comfortable for walking. He is 6'4" so the soles wear out over time but only after many, many miles walked in his shoes. I am currently re-ordering our 4th pair!

Second pair. Lasts for years. Comfortable and stylish. Feel like they were strictly ergonomically designed but look like fashion.

I've been buying this show model in black for 14 years now every 3 years. It's the only shoe I wear all day every day. it doesn't really get worn out but I still like to change every few years. in 2 weeks I'll be getting my 5th Naot director.
