Naot

Helm

Women's

These are unicorn shoes: comfort brand and finally a chic style that isn't decidedly old-lady comfort granola. I am a devoted Naot lover with size 9.5-10 Wide feet with high high arches and plantar fasciitis, and the size 41 fit perfectly and is a snug, secure fit across the top of my foot. I was worried my foot would slide around inside this style, but it doesn't. You have to undo both sides' zippers to get in/out because it's a nice snug fit. There's enough room around the ankle that it won't rub, but my heel won't be sliding up and down either. I would also recommend the Kirei for all-day walking (I am a teacher), and love the Dorith and Sophia sandals for summer standing/walking.

Exactly what I wanted for a trip to Scandinavia! Love the style, especially the carved heel and low cut ankle. They are extremely comfortable with excellent arch support (no more Dr. Scholls'!!) Took about 15 mins of walking to soften them up, but they are super light weight making them perfect for long days truckin' around town. I had no problem with the two zippers: I pull both up at once ... VOILA! But can easily get them on with just the inside zipper open. And finally, they are very water resistant, and have great traction on wet wood/marble floors. Totally recommend them!

Whenever I see shoes that are only available in medium I'm a little hesitant as I have bunions on both feet, so quite often the medium is too tight across the box toe. However, these Naot boots are great; they feel wider than the average 'medium' and the super soft leather really helps. I found them extremely comfortable straightaway, and they're a smart, classic style. Recommended!

These are wonderful shoes. No question. I have difficult, sensitive, wide feet and have had surgery on both of the. My right foot has screws that slightly poke up from my instep. These shoes have no seams anywhere near the sensitive parts of most people's feet. They are smooth and streamlined, visually minimalist - a contemporary, timeless, and flattering design. I did replace the insoles with my orthotics, & need to wear with thin socks, but these are most comfortable shoes I've had on it years. I am in awe. Just ordered another pair!

Fit a tad bigger than a 5.5, but comfy leather and foot bed. Love the style. However the leather was hot a mess. A large ridge went up the middle of both shoes, much more pronounces on the left. This ridge was palpable while wearing the shoes and was uncomfortable. One section of the suede side was noticeably discolored. Right below it, the seam of suede attached to the sole was uneven. Finally, white streaks were embedded in the leather on a 2 inch section of the right shoe. They look like used secondhand boots. For $200, no thanks.
