Customer Reviews Naot Bjorn

After a lot of shopping I replaced an old favorite Clark’s slide that is no longer made with this Naot Bjorn shoe. Very pleased with fit and style so this will now be my go-to casual/fun slide! I usually wear a men’s 43 but took the advice of other reviewers and purchased a 44—perfect fit. The footbed is very comfortable and supportive. Shoe is a little on the expensive side for me, but the comfort and quality is totally worth it. Glad I purchased these.

I got the vintage gray leather. I like the shoes. Very comfortable. Now, you must order a larger size than normal, probably 1-1/2 larger. They feel great and for those of us who go into others homes for work they are easy on and off. Or travel going through security. You’ll have no regrets once you’ve figured out what size is right, but you are dealing with Zappos, easy return.

These are fantastic shoes and the best 'birkenstock' style mule or clog for casual business. The black finish is perfect for office or just wearing around town. NAOT, like Dansko and similar brands, tend to run small. I'm a solid size 13 and 47 is the size that fits best for this brand. And Zappos service and speed continue to be stellar. I expect sometime in the future to get a package for shows I was thinking about ordering ... yea ... they are just about that fast :P

My husband loves these shoes - put them on, & he said they felt as if he had been wearing them forever!!! He had been looking for a slip on clog type shoe without a furry lining, & these are just perfect. Highly highly recommend.

This is my 4th pair of these in different colors. Very comfortable from the first time you put them on but footbed gets more comfortable with time. An investment for sure but if you spend a lot of time in your feet they are worth it!

I bought my first pair of these in Israel itself and had zero break-in period. I wore them out in the store and here it is four years later I am finally purchasing my second pair of identical clogs. I love them! I wear them at semi-formal as well as casual events and can't love them more. They are my favorite all time shoes. I am also ordering them in brown as well.

Nice shoe, but at least a full size smaller than size indicated.

If I'd been a little more thoughtful, I wouldn't be wearing my second pair of Naot Bjorns; I'd still be wearing my first. Foolishly, I discarded the first pair because of their funky appearance. Now I know that if I'd only cleaned and polished the surface of my original pair, I'd probably still be wearing them. The Naot Bjorn (I've had my current pair for about a year and a half) is as close to indestructible as a pair of shoes, certainly of clogs, can be. I wear them as slippers, as gardening shoes, as alternatives to lace-ups --- in short, for everything but hiking and the most formal of occasions. Yet the single-mold heel and sole show only the most minimal signs of wear, and the beautiful walnut-colored leather cleans and shines to almost-new appearance. Yes, they're expensive; and no, I have no proof; but as with so many products, what paying more in this case buys you is, ultimately, a far better value in the (very) long term. If you can afford them, buy them.

Got em, love em. When your fourth toe is almost as long as your big toe these are a wonderful shoe.

Great shoes. Felt at least a whole size smaller than other shoes. Very comfortable.

For one thing the Vintage 'Gray' Leather is Vintage BROWN Leather. I had my wife verify this for me. I prefer Gray but kept them anyway. Also I had a problem with the arch feeling slightly too high (malformed) and somewhat uncomfortable on the insole of the left shoe. I ordered another pair and switched-out the left shoe and sent the extra pair back. Both feet/shoes now feel great. BTW- I don't understand why people are ordering smaller sizes. I have a wide foot and these shoes fit fine. I have a pair of Merrell Mocs in the same size and they fit tight and are more narrow than these Naot/Bjorns, but (surprisingly) are still comfortable. In any case, because of the insole problem I took off one star for 'comfort,' and since the color is brown and not gray as advertised I took off one star for 'style.'

I love these shoes! I searched for a very long time in order to find a replacement for my ten years +El Naturalista clogs (no longer in production). Nothing measured up... until I tried the Naot Bjorn.

These shoes are awesome! But I'm not going to lie, the sizing is tough. All the reviews I read said they ran small. I'm typically a size 10, so I went with an 11. Got the first pair and while my foot fit in them they weren't as comfortable as I had read and my heel rubbed the back just slightly when I walked, so I exchanged them for a 12 even though I was afraid they'd be too big. They fit perfect and are very comfortable. Zappos' exchange policy is awesome - they sent the next size before I sent the 11s back so I could compare - can't recommend zappos enough, and these shoes are worth hunting for the right size!

This is a very comfortable shoe with a supportive insole and a good, medium arch. I usually need to use custom orthotics to make shoes comfortable, but there is no need with this shoe. Much of the cushioning and support for this shoe comes from the insole, which is thicker than is typical and includes a substantial layer of cork capped by something that resembles a more traditional insole, albeit with a leather cover. Since the insole is quite thick, if one were to remove it in favor of a custom insole the shoe would feel significantly larger. I anticipate that the cork will conform to my foot over time, but these shoes were comfortable out of the box. The soft leather cover to the insole makes these feel very good on the feet without socks. The distressed leather is good looking and contributes to the sense that these are old friends even when new.

Driving a Diesel Pusher, I'm always looking for "slip on" shoes; shoes that I can easily slip into and out of when boarding the coach. I've tried Merrells, Danskos, and various other brands with NO luck, they are sloppy and I end up beating down the rear of the shoe! The NAOT solved the issue... They are outstanding! I can slip them on, they stay on, I don't beat heel down AND they are comfortable!! I wear them all the time, excellent arch support and they stay on your feet!

Found these shoes to fit and perform as expected. Very comfortable, glad I made this choice.

Great shoe. I've been looking for a pair of comfortable clogs for years and finally found the perfect pair. I've bought (and returned) several others over the years. Never owned Naot Footwear before, but now am convinced they make quality shoes. Very pleased with my purchase.

Incredibly comfortable. Followed advice and ordered a full size larger, almost perfect fit when I got them. The style isn't mainstream North American business, but I pair 'em with a jaunty scarf and tell everyone it's the style in Europe. But worth it for the comfort.

Terrific shoes. I have a hard time findings shoes that fit and feel nice without rubbing some place odd or being too loose or too tight. These are terrific right out of the box. With that being said, I did order three pairs based on the feedback from others about the sizing. I ended up with a typical size for me and did not have to order up in size. I also ordered a pair in a different color (same size) and they were much larger than the ones I kept. So, get a couple different sizes and take advantage of the great free returns through Zappos!

Exactly what I had hoped to get. As mentioned by others, the shoes run a little small. I typically wear 43, but size 44 fits well.

Great comfortable shoes. Roomy in the toe with a great fit overall. Order one-half to one size up.

1st... order one size up. 2nd... These are without a doubt the most comfortable shoes right out of the box I can ever remember buying. I usually hate spending this much on shoes, but in this case, I say it's money extremely well spent. I just wish I would have discovered these before now...

Really, really comfortable. Seem to be nicely made and high quality materials. Great on hard floors.

This shoe is awesome! They felt broke in the second I put them on. Love them.

These are excellent shoes but as many of the others have noted the it was necessary for me to order two sizes larger. I normally wear a 45 in Ecco. I tried a 46 first and my heel kept hitting the lip back there when I walked. Otherwise 46 felt fine when standing still and if it were not for the really low heel the 46 would have worked. I returned the 46 for a 47. No way do I wear a 14 but this is the one that worked. It does not feel too big even though my normal shoe size is a 11½-12. I am not sure what people with a real 14 would do as I do not see a 47 fitting them. Other than the sizing issues the shoe is super comfortable. I do wish they had a little more arch support. I will see how it works in the long run.
