Customer Reviews Naot Kirei

I ordered these shoes in 8.5W but they were more narrow than the regular-width Kirei blue shoes I purchased about six years ago. The box was labeled as containing 8.5W shoes. One of the shoes also had a "W" marked on it by hand, with a felt-tip marker. Maybe that's how Naot normally identifies their wide shoes. The only problem is that these shoes weren't wide!

I was very disappointed in the quality of these shoes. I have 2 pair of Nato shoes. Quality is excellent but I purchased them 7 years ago.

Cute shoe but the sole deterioration was very upsetting. This happened in multiple Nato shoes and no manufacturer support. As a matter of fact this happened to several people I know. I love the comfort but the shoe is poorly made and not worth the price. I would give them zero stars if possible. (I had three other pairs that did the same.)

With so many reviews I was really hoping that these shoes will work. The top of the shoe in front was just digging into my foot as soon as I put it on.

I am returning these because they squeak when i walk in them.

Perhaps these were mis-marked -- size wise ---- and could not get any help from customer service. I have owned another pair of same shoe --- bought it in same size---this pair was not right; way too small. After my experience with your customer service, it's last I'll buy from you.

Kirei in wide width is not remotely close to being wide width. All Naots for me are too narrow except the sandal named Mikaela. I was happy to see this new style being offered in wides, but what a disappointment. These shoes are for narrow feet. Medium width at best, and I have tried on all the brands, more than a few. Insoles were nice and soft, the style was adorable. I wear a 7.5 or a 38, the length was great, the heels stayed in place without any slipping. But my toes and sides of my feet were scrunched together in this narrow shoe. The closure strap was also dragging the ground when I fastened it. The hook and loop closure felt cheap and insecure, it barely held closed.

I bought these in the sterling (grey) leather. I had to supplement the arch and then I was quite happy until the shoe ripped, a sudden large rip, where the suede connected to the patent. They can not be fixed. This happened after I wore them 30-40 times. I am not hard on my shoes and was very disappointed in the quality. Up until they ripped I would have rated them a 4 or 5.

Although I ordered and received these shoes many moons ago, I just opened them for the first time today. I have four pairs of this style because they work well with my severe foot problems. The reasons I waited so long to look at this pair is because I've worn two of the four pairs constantly and was sure they'd be as wonderful as those two pairs. When I took this particular pair out of the box, I was shocked to see they looked like they had been worn; the toes were actually scuffed in appearance. These are expensive shoes, and I would expect them to be first quality. This style, however, is wonderfully comfortable, so it's really difficult for me to give it less than five stars. Unfortunately, I can't do that with this pair because of the appearance.

I have bought these shoes before many years ago, I still have my original shoe which is a 41. This time I had tobuy a wide with as my bunion has gotten a bit bigger :( The 41 wide was too big overall, but the 40 wide fits me well.

Very well made comfortable shoe. Ran a bit too short for me.

These needed to be a little smaller for my difficult foot.

I was not sure which size would fit me, and the 38 was too small.

Fit very well and very comfortable. I have bought these before but this time I got a larger size and they are definitely a better fit.

Really good everyday shoes.

My foot is hard to fit. I wear orthotics and have neuromas. These shoes fit perfectly, look great, and are extremely comfortable without my orthotics. After ordering four or five pairs of blue shoes, none of which worked, I am so happy to have found these Naots. A little expensive but worth the price.

These are a wonderful shoe and are just as wonderful as the first pair of naots I bought many many years ago!

I love these shoes and look forward to wearing them for a long time. I also ordered the Agatha’s, which are also lovely and comfortable, but I can’t keep both, so I am choosing the Kirei,

I started a new job and went a bit crazy buying "pretty" shoes. I kept thinking about my Naots that I had six years ago and finally gave in. They are a dream to walk in - exactly as I remembered. For reference, I have wider feet and bunions. However, I have to admit they "squeak." This is pretty embarrassing, and I'm hoping they just need breaking in.

This is my third pair of these, the first of which is 10 years old and still being worn. This time I got the violet/red combo--great fall hue. These shoes fit my wide toe box/narrow heel/ low volume feet perfectly.

Purchased my usual size, but they felt too small. After going up to the next size, the fit was super comfortable. It's a great walking shoe that can be worn dressed up or casual.

Love, love, love these shoes. I hope Naot never changes this Kirei style. I have 4, in different colors, that I have bought over the years. This one is a replacement for my first pair.

So comfy and cute. My feet have grown with age so I avoid some styles that make my feet look bigger. These are very flattering (my feet do not look like the size 10 that they have become! ) I ordered the black patent suede combination and it looks a bit too dressy. I am looking for something that I can walk for miles in and that look decent with moderate wear on the leather. I would recommend these for comfortable going out shoes. I would order the ones without suede if you looking for durable walking shoes with a more casual look.

These shoes fit like a glove. I wore them out of the box all day, and they were as comfortable as an old pair.

I love Naots. I have several pairs, some quite a few years old. All of them are 10’s. Because reviews suggested these ran small, I ordered one size up. Unfortunately, Zappos didn’t have them in medium width so I decided to get the wide because I really liked the style. But, alas, they are too wide. The length, however, was perfect. They definitely run small. Sorry to have to send them back.
