Customer Reviews Naot Kumara

Deep ink blue denim color, very nice! Leather is soft and easy to wear right away. I put heal levels in mine as my ankle pronate. Compliments on first wearing! ALWAYS SPRAY TO PROTECT YOUR SHOES!

I love this shoe! Comfy right out of the box and is probably the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. I wish it came in a nice shade of brown also. Fits beautifully and has the Naot arch support that fits me so well. I get compliments when I wear them!

Love these shoes! Got in white. They look like stylish golf shoes and go great with jeans, pants and skirts. A nice option that falls between a sneaker and a lace-up Oxford.

I love these shoes so much! They are, by far, the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I've had multiple foot problems, plantar fasciitis, a Jones fracture and some arthritis. I recently had knee surgery and have been having a hard time getting back to walking without pain. I put these on and they felt great right out of the box. I even get compliments when I wear them and people want to know where I got them!

This is my 2nd pair. I wouldn’t buy any other work shoe. I wear mine in a hospital setting. The leather molds to your shape. Tons of complements.

Wonderful shoe. I have purchased this shoe before when I had minor foot problems but now I have to consider getting custom-made insoles. I am returning these shoes until I have the insoles made and I will see if they fit into my Naots. If they do I will be reordering this shoe. The brand is wonderful as they don't look like old lady shoes. Thanks Zappos for the wonderful service though the years while I struggle with finding shoes to fit my problem feet.

Great comfort and good looks. Love Naot.

I disagree with the Naot saying you should order a size down. I am a '10', and a '41' is perfect. I have my own Orthotics to put into shoes, but feel great support without them. I had originally bought my 1st pair of Kumara from a gently used consignment store for $32.00. I know they were expensive shoes, so I thought it was worth the gamble. - I wore them completely out!...and although a NEW pair cost $185... I waited as long as I could, & LOVE this shoe so much, it hurt to spend $185., however, I wear them Monday-Friday @ work (in a hospital), & Love the white color as opposed to wearing white 'tennis shoes' as a lot of my co-workers do. The genuine Leather is soft enough to form around your foot. I find them a lot more breathable than tennis shoes. will never buy any other work shoe again, I am hooked for life. (I just hope they always keep the white color.

Super comfortable my second pair. I wore the first pair to death.

Love these! So comfy

This will be an odd review, because when the shoes arrived I discovered they were odd sizes. The left was a size 39, the right was a size 41. I had ordered size 41. Zappos wonderful customer service gave me a refund at once; as always, they are very willing to try to solve problems. But there were no more of this style/colour in stock. From the one shoe that I tried on, I think I would like them very much. They do indeed run a bit large, but that is no bad thing in a shoe I plan to wear in summer. The ice blue/quartz colour combo is great for summer. The shoe is soft, but has plenty of arch support. So, I give Zappos and the shoe 5 stars, even though I am not going to be able to use the shoes due to the odd sizes.

I have Kumara in every color. They are true better than barefoot.

I LOVE THESE SHOES! My feet had become baseball mitts after having worn shoes totally lacking in support, allowing said feet to spread out! Now, I want to regain their cooperation and respect. These shoes are a great start! The leather is soft, the support is fantastic, the shoes are attractive and my feet like them! More importantly, they are very comfortable without looking unkempt or sloppy. They are stylish enough to wear with tunics/leggings, dressy slacks, casual dresses, whatever. I read the reviews and ordered my regular size because sometimes my regular size is too small. They fit just right, like a GLOVE, but not a baseball mitt.

I really wanted these shoes to work for me. The footbed and leather uppers are so comfortable. However, size 37 was so small I couldn't get my foot in, and 38 was so big my heel slipped.

This is my third pair of Kumaras and I love the fit, just wish the colors were more to my liking. I have an old dark blue pair that I replaced with Vintage Smoked Leather. I had to exchange my first order because the distressed area was too stark. I would prefer a solid color—and how about RED? I use the white ones for biking since I can’t wear traditional athletic shoes. I wear KORU footbed for most of my shoes. For the boots I need to wear a 41 but 40 for other styles—and other brands.

Naot Kumara is stylish and comfortable due to the all leather and cork insole. I am returning this pair only because the first pair fit better. Not surprising for understand this shoe is handmade. So if one doesn't quite fit, it's worth trying another pair. I have other Naots and they are very comfortable and well made.

I was looking for cool-looking, super comfortable travel shoes, that I can walk 5-8 miles a day in an upcoming trip to France. I have several horrible foot problems, but have had excellent luck with Naot over several years. These shoes are perfect: comfortable out of the box, great with the skinny jeans that are my normal uniform. I walked into my very edgy hair salon and all the stylists wanted to know what the shoes were; that testifies to how good they look. Haven't gone on the trip yet, but I am ready, and I won't be that tacky American tourist.

I bought this shoe in the white with silver metallic accents around the perimeter of the shoe and agree with all of the other reviewers who said this shoe is slipper-light and comfortable right out of the box. The shoe is also very well made, no corner cutting here on the luxurious interior. The arch support is excellent and of course the white and silver are neutrals that take you through all four seasons. The other feature I appreciate is the perforations in the supple leather. If you’re on the go all day it’s nice to have stylishly placed ventilation. I haven’t worn or bought Naot in many years; I expected them to be comfortable but on the heavier side...looks are deceiving. I almost always wear a 6 and ordered the six here for a perfect fit. I’d definitely buy these again.

I always buy NAOT, but mostly their sandals. However, since I live in upstate New York, I have to invest in regular shoes for the colder seasons. These are the first "sneaker"/walking shoe that I have tried. They fit well, and although I did not try them with socks, they seem to have enough room for a pair of average weight socks. LOVE NAOT!

Love this shoe. Since i got them, i have worn this shoe about 80% of the time that i wear footwear. They are the most comfortable to walk in- we walked miles in London this summer and i never felt any foot pain. love them so much, i am having to order another pair because sadly, i have totally stunk up this pair due to constant wear

I love Naots. They are a perfect fit for my tortured feet --I have plantar fasciitis, metatarsal pain, a heel spur, and really high arches which make my feet unstable. Since I found Naots I have been able to walk without pain. I wanted this shoe for walking in Europe, but I simply did not like the way it looked. It is the first pair of Naots that I return.

This is the 4th pair of this style. I have them in black, blue and white. I'm replacing a white pair that I've had since 2008. The old pair is still good for wearing in the garden with replacement insoles. I put the new ones on this morning and fit like a glove. My feet love them!

Love these shoes! Have been looking at them since they came out last year, and finally ordered them this spring for a vacation. Naots are predictably comfortable out of the box. Love the style, as they are a more sophisticated look for Spring. I wear them a lot, and my only complaint is that they are pretty soft leather, so they aren't a firm support. Also, the tie is a loose fit, rather than a tight tie like a tennis shoe. Overall, my favorite spring shoe.

Extremely comfortable. I just decided to go for a more traditional look with the Naturalizer Morrison. The grey on the white shoe is a metallic and it's great looking. Very soft leather. It was a toss up between this one and the 7 wide in the Morrison. So, I think these have a wider toe box than most regular widths. One thing I didn't care for was the round shoe laces. I think they would untie easily. Easy enough to replace with flat ones, but the only thing I didn't like.

Love the comfort and support of this shoe but one of my heels slips when I walk. I tried 3 different ones.
