A very comfortable walking shoe right out of the box, especially for a narrower foot. I usually wear a size 8, and the 39 was a good fit. I have very narrow heels (AAAA), but need a roomy toe box. I also wear custom orthotics, though, so I can get away with a wider (B-width) shoe than I could without the orthotic. I tried numerous pairs of Naots, desperately wanting one to fit because they are great-looking shoes (ones that work with orthotics are usually not as good-looking), and the toe box is so good in all of them. I also tried: Masai (too wide), Coast (width was good, but the arch hit me in the wrong place on my right foot), Sea (too wide), Samoa (not bad width-wise, worked well for my mother, who has similar feet, but Rahina was better for me), and Primrose.

I bought this shoe because I wanted something that I could wear for lots of walking on a trip. I took this pair of shoes and another pair of shoes that I had already broken in on several other trips and knew would be OK for all day walking. The other shoes stayed in my suitcase because these shoes were so comfortable that I could wear them everyday all day. My feet did not feel even slightly tired by the end of the day, which is very unusual for me. I usually have to change shoes every other day when traveling. I have a high arch, and these provided adequate support. The strap seemed to hit me in a good spot because other than noting that it help keep my shoe firmly on, I had no issues with it. I wear a medium width, and it seemed pretty true to size. The color, a coppery color, went well with everything, and since I took a lot of black clothing, it made a nice contrast. The only issue I had was that I first ordered a size 38. I usually wear a 7.5, and after reading the reviews, decided that it ran generously. When they arrived, I put them on and all seemed well. They were not even snug. They just seemed to fit really well. However, after a day of walking around in them, my toes began to cramp on my left foot. I was really quite surprised because they seemed to fit. I ordered the next size up and returned the size 38's, with apologies to Zappos. They credited my return and sent me the 39's and all is well. Zappos has to be the best on-line shopping site, period. Did I mention that both times I ordered the shoes were there the next day, even though I had checked just normal delivery? Wow! I'm impressed.

The description read that these ran small and to order one size smaller. After reading everyone's reviews I ordered my normal size.These do not run small! They run snug. Fit like a glove. With terrific arch support! So comfortable! I have arthritis in my ankle, which can make walking painful. At last I have found comfortable, cute, fabulous (although expensive) shoes that take me through the work day and beyond. Why, I even ran across the parking lot a little bit. That is amazing, as I have been hobbling along for quite awhile now. I recommend these shoes, and I would say they run snug and some people may feel they run small. (If you don't like the snug as a bug in a rug feel.)

Love this shoe. Super comfy and cute. It's like wearing a slipper and it's wide enough for my somewhat wide foot. I have always had some difficulty ordering Naot's since they only come in whole sizes and I wear a 9.5, but ordered this in a 41 and it fits perfectly. So I would say it runs a 1/2 size small since the 10 fits my 9.5 foot.

I love the look but it is smaller than the same shoes I got a couple of years ago. Contrary to what the company says, these did not run large - quite the opposite.

I think this is the cutest Naot Mary Jane out there. I wore it around my house several times hoping that it would feel better on my (problematic) right foot, but the toe box is just a tad too narrow. Sadly they will go back.

Lovely, well constructed shoe, heavenly comfort. Unfortunately, they did not work for me because the strap was too close to my ankle. This is a problem that I have with many shoes and not the fault of these shoes. But due to this I returned them. Thank you to the people at Zappos for your gracious return policy!

Like walking in clouds. My first pair of Naots, the price was hard to swallow but I think they will be worth it. Comfortable from the first time I slipped them on, good arch support, soft, the covered cork sole feels comfy and breathable on the feet. Versatile style that will go with a lot. Will be great for walking everywhere.

I adore Zappos. I ordered the Naot Rahina in a size 40 because I wear a Naot Matai (8 pair, I love them) in a size 40. I have to return the Rahina in size 40; it is just too short for my foot. Sorry Zappos, you do not have the 41 available and I had to order it elsewhere. I prefer Zappos anytime.

I purchased this shoe in the burnt copper and find it goes with nearly everything I wear. While it is stylish and very feminine the fit is impeccably comfortable. My first pair of Naot shoes was a sandal, since I have numerous foot problems I was please to find a sandal with a supportive foot bed. This closed toe shoe will be a perfect work shoe. I see Naot being my number choice in shoes for the future.

I love Naot shoes as they seem to have the best fits for my problem feet. I love the look of the Rahina as it is a little dressier than some of their other styles and it is all leather (not leather and suede). Unfortunately I am going to return them as they seem much narrower than my other Naots. I usually take a 37 in Naot with no problem but the 37 in this style was pretty snug across the top of my foot and was rubbing against my bunions, and my toes felt cramped and were bumpting against the top front of the shoe. I am sad because I really like the look of these, but I am afraid the 38 will be way too big and may not solve the problems I am having with the 37. I have a slightly wide foot but not enough to take a wide width and Naot's regular width usually fits me fine (I have two other styles and both are great in 37). Be aware of the fit if you have bunions or an arthritic bone on your big toe. The rubbing on the top of my foot was not as bad as on the Kirei which I had to return but still enough that I don't want to take a chance on these. I rated this shoe lower in comfort due to the tightness across the top of my foot.

These attractive shoes were comfortable the minute I put them on. The lining is soft and smooth so they can be worn without socks.

Like walking on a cloud. My first pair of Naot, but won't be my last. Ordered a size smaller based on reviews, but had to return them for my usual size. Love the Zappos VIP service.

These are beautifully made shoes that are typical for Naot. I have several different types of Naot shoes and all are very high quality, cute, and comfortable. These are a little small for me compared to the same size Naot sandals & open heeled shoes - so I recommend sizing up from those types. Unfortunately these only come in full sizes, so the perfect fit may be difficult to attain.

These are extremely comfortable, beautiful shoes. The leather is highest quality and the arch support feels as comfortable as my orthodic inserts. I would highly recommend this style and all the Naot shoes.

My high arches and bunions love this shoe. Great for walking. Nice style for one that feels so good on. Usually wear Dansko. Will definitely buy this brand again!

I love the look and feel of this shoe! However, the 38, which I wear in Dansko's, Orthaheel, Abeo, etc. is too short and narrow. My toes are pressed against the fron,t and my feet are squeezed from the side. I am ordering the 39 in hopes the larger size will work in both length and width. If not, I may have to find a Naot made for wider feet.

I love these shoes. This is my second pair. I have narrow feet the design/ankle strap actually makes these the only Naots I can wear. Yeah! Love the insole. Great support for my problem prone feet.

Based on previous reviews I ordered a size smaller than usual but sent them back because they were too small. Now that I have the right shoes, I love them! The picture doesn't do these shoes justice, they are much cuter in person! Zappos was extremely fast in shipping these to me.

What a pleasure wearing a shoe that doesn't "flop" on your foot. Color goes with everything except black. Exceptional service from Zappos.

I read the reviews and decided that my feet could use a good pair of walking shoes, esp. for our upcoming trip to Sweden. They proved to be sturdy, comfortable and cute. I'll wear them often. I'd often like a more stylish shoe for dressing up. However, when walking this is the way to go. Enjoy.

These are very cute and comfortable. However, based on the warning that these run a size large, I ordered a size down, but shouldn't have.
Too tight. Will have to return.

Very attractive, super comfortable shoe; true to size, great arch support - the inserts are removable and replaceable for longer life of the shoe.

Once again very pleased with Zappos and Naot! These shoes feel wonderful and I expect will just get better with age. At first I thought the strap was a little short, but as time has gone on they are just what I want. The look is so interesting - not your average brown shoe.
