Customer Reviews Naot Matai

This is the GOLD standard for comfortable yet stylish footwear suitable for the modern professional working woman. Perfect for walking and being on your feet for 8+ hours. I have had at least 5 - 8 pairs of these already thru the years (I lost count!) Only sad part is since it is so nice, I hate to wear them in the rain. I started buying the black ones to match my outfits. Will try the red soon. Thank you NAOT!!!

This is a small size 12! And a beautiful shoe. Please make these women's shoes another size larger!

Just as your description said, this shoe in size 40 runs large. I tried it in 39 as well, and that was too small. Onward, then, to other Naots! A fine brand.

Durable, good arch support, well-made. I have a very long foot so I need a long shoe. The inside length sometimes gaps; I have to try on each pair I buy because they differ from pair to pair.

I need comfortable shoes to use for lots of walking and standing. I have nerve damage in my feet. These are great for both. I have walked and stood for long periods without feeling my problem.

Love these shoes--expensive, but worth it--they are my second pair (the first ones lasted 5 years--so glad they are still in existence)! I usually wear a "W" and use my own insert orthotic. Very comfortable. Also Zappos is super easy to deal with. I ordered 3 pairs of shoes, kept the Naots, and returned the others. No problem with prompt refund credit.

Very comfortable for someone who has had 3 foot surgeries! Actually received several complements on the style - a rare thing with comfort shoes! Very pleased with purchase.

The shoe is too small. It feels about 1/2 size smaller than expected. I was impressed with the overall quality and feel of the shoe, so I am disappointed that the shoe ran too small for me.

Equating a Euro size 39 with an 8, a 40 with a 9 and a 41 with a 10 is inaccurate, because the size difference is smaller than the difference between US sizes. I have always worn a 39½ or 40, but I needed a 41 in the Naots that I tried. I found a different pair that fit me well.

These were beautiful shoes and they would be amazingly comfortable if they were a smidge smaller. I have bunions and they were comfortable in spite of the bunions.

This is my third pair of Naot Matais, and fifth pair of Naots. These are the best shoes ever. They are durable, comfortable and appropriate business wear for someone who cannot wear heels. I love them!

Most comfortable shoe ever with great support! They used to come in great colors too I really miss not being able to get the olive green ones!

This is my fourth pair and I have never owned any shoes that were as comfortable and long-lasting. They feel absolutely wonderful from the first time I slip them on and I spend all day working a retail job in them. So glad this particular style is still available since it's perfect for my bunions and they haven't been "cheapened" to cut costs. Worth every penny! Thanks, Naot!

This is one of the most comfortable shoes I own. The strap is adjustable and the leather on this one is quite soft - they come in many colors and other types of leather so I don't know if they are all equally soft. The one I bought says "shiny black leather" for the color. It isn't shiny but does have a tiny band of silvery stuff that barely shows. The insole has a cork bottom which absorbs the pressure on your back when you walk. I love it!

I purchased the first pair of Matai four years ago for my mother who has problem feet and balance issues. She loves the stability, comfort and style that comes with this shoe. So much so, that she asked me to find another pair in a different color - she has finally worn out the first pair, and particularly loves wearing these shoes when, she and her 80 year old husband, frequently attend country western dances in their community. How's that for awesome!

I bought this style at the beginning of a pregnancy, and basically wore them the entire time I was pregnant. Because I put on 65+ pounds, I had totally blown the shoe out, but given the edema, and the swelling and inconsistent fluctuation of my foot size, these never failed to be comfortable and a great shoe. I might buy the same style again here even though I'm not pregnant. I require moderate arch support and pronate when I run.

This is my 2nd pair of Naots. They are the best quality shoes I have ever had. Right out of the box they are a dream walk. They may be a little larger than marked, but I live in Alaska and wear a heavier sock. Just love them!

I love this shoe. I originally bought it when I needed shoes that would accommodate my orthotics, and this shoe does that stylishly. I often get compliments on my shoes. Since I wear these almost constantly, year round, they wear out fairly quickly. Especially given how expensive these shoes are. I am now ordering my 3rd pair in 3 years. The price has gone up since that first pair in 2012. I had never spent that much on a pair of shoes in all my life. But orthotics changed all that, and I figure I will have to spend more money on shoes in the future in order to walk comfortably (and I often walk over 4 miles a day). Anyway, I love these shoes so much that I'm ordering my 3rd pair, in the exact same color (Metal leather / black).

These shoes allow me to walk. I'm serious. In bare feet or any other footwear, I usually hobble, due to knee problems. As soon as I put these on -- in a 37, instead of my usual 38, as reviewers advised, I was able to walk without a limp! Aside from this huge benefit, the black pearl leather with "hash" suede, lined with a bit of gold, is genuinely attractive and comfortable. I have the Naot Matai in a larger size (my usual size), and they stretched out so much that they need thick socks...which makes them fine for the winter, thinking optimistically. My messed-up toes and arches adore these, and if you have wide toes, or like to give them room, you'll adore them, too. Expensive, yes. But great. On the plus side, they're so weird (in a good way, I think) that they'll never go out of style!

Love this shoe! Great support...a tiny bit wide in the heel, but with the strap style, it's okay. So comfortable and pretty!

I have been on the hunt for shoes I can wear to work with my new custom orthotic insoles. I love this brand and particularly this shoe. It works in every way: my insoles work in them (although theirs is very nice and almost as good as the expensive ones I just bought from the doctor -- at least just trying them on). It is a little clunky looking but in a stylish funky way. They are comfortable and they are cut high enough to comfortably hide the Smartwool Secret Sleuth socks I bought to wear with my expensive insoles. I would love more colors and perhaps an alternative design with the same cut as this shoe!

I love this shoe! The first time I bought a pair of this brand was 6 years ago. I still wear them but wanted a different color. Yes, they are expensive but they are well made and last. Plus I can walk for hours when touring on vacation. This is a well made shoe.

This is my second pair of Naot shoes. I love them. It is like wearing pillows on my feet. The shoes are durable, fashionable and so comfortable. I get compliments on them all the time. I will purchase this style of shoe again in the future! I typically wear a 6 1/2 ladies' shoe but I found that a size 7 (USA size) and 37 (European sizing) in this shoe style fits my foot best.
