Customer Reviews Naot Kirei

I have trouble finding shoes that have a roomy toe box. This shoe in 10W (41) arrived yesterday and after walking around the house for the day, I think it works for my feet but only in thin socks. My very rectangular foot measures 9.75" long and 4" wide at the widest part.

I ordered this in tow sizes and I'm glad I did. I hope to keep the size 39, I have challenging feet! I like the soft neutral metallic color, seems to help "comfort shoes" not look so much like "comfort shoes"!!!! Thanks you Zappos as always for the outstanding customer service! I just love Zappos!!

These are the best shoes I have ever found. They are extremely comfortable and very cute. I love that they are not made in China. When my feet are happy, I'm happy. They are worth every penny. I hope Naot never stops making them. I would love to see a summer version--same sole and style and construction, but with a linen/cotton upper and lighter colors just for summer. Until then, I'll just keep wearing them 10 months out of the year and saving up my pennies for more pairs in other colors. Thank you, Naot, for making them! Thank you, Zappos, for carrying them!

I like this shoe I ordered a 37, wide. That is a 6 w in US terms. I wear a 61/2 w. My toes are wide, my heels narrow. I would have kept them but I don't like the suede, I am returning and ordering the black leather in the medium and wide width to see which fits better.

Runs narrow, and a half size smaller.

comfortable but the back is high

Just ordered these in my usual size 10 regular. They are a bit snug, with thin ped-socks, too snug. So I ordered a size up, 11 regular and my size, 10 wide, to see if either of those are just right. But being in these shoes, they feel cosy nice, like I am going to love them forever. I just wish I had ordered a few sizes the first time, so I could wear them tomorrow.

love love these. I bought two colors! These are the most comfortable shoes I ever had.

Incredibly comfortable; excellent fit; good support. Not had been recommended by equally fussy shoe-buyer, more concerned about comfort than anything else. Great recommendation.

As others have stated, these shoes are amazing! I stand most of the day at work, so I love the comfort and support these shoes provide. Best shoes ever!

I just want people to know these are the best made shoes I have ever owned. The are sturdy, stylish, and comfortable. Tell Naot to not ever stop making them. Worn them for years including their boots.

Being a woman of a "certain age," I am no longer willing to wear uncomfortable shoes. If they don't feel good out of the box, back they go. I love these and they're stylish enough to not look orthopedic. Dressy enough for a casual wedding but good for work too. I wear a wide size, and these were perfect. I wish Naot made more styles in wide width. I took the advice of a previous reviewer and took out the insoles, slipped a very lightweight footie sock upside down over each one and now I can wear these with bare feet and keep the insoles fresh.

Naots are the most comfortable footwear. The Kirei has been my go-to shoe for pure instant comfort for travel and weekend wear. I bought the same size, etc. however, the sizing or style must have changed as this pair were too tight and short. Sadly, I must return them.

Believe the reviews...these shoes are tip-top for comfort. I bought the black patent first. I just received the Polar Blue... one note, the color is not accurate in the photo. The are much darket than pictured..most definitely a dark navy blue... both the patent and non patent parts.

No exaggeration: these are the most delightfully comfy shoes I've ever worn. I ordered the black with the patent leather trim and just ordered the polar blue. The 2 layers of stitching and dual colors are very pretty. On one hand I hate to let Naot know that the price of these is acceptable because let's face it: they're pricey as heck. But in all candor, they are worth it if you can afford it. I actually LOOK FORWARD to walking when I have these on. A 10 hour day is a cinch.As I walk I'm conscious of my 59 year old feet being in a soft, supportive cloud of cushy comfort. When I do choose a different pair for work, I pack the other pair in a tote bag and wear these Naots for the commute and walk into the office. I find I'm taking detours and walking up hills of grass with confidence rather than always taking the sidewalk. Feet are held securely and there's no slipping or rolling. Have I received compliments? No. They're not stylish, these are practical, thus only 3 stars for style. The left pinkie toe was rubbing the first 3 times I wore them... Needed a bandaid, but after that the shoes are perfect with no rubs.These will be great walking through Europe. Designers: Would love to see a turquoise/aqua option.

Someone suggested ordering down a size in these shoes, but for me that was a mistake. I'm contemplating ordering my correct size to see how they fit, because let me tell you, the footbed of this shoe is h-e-a-v-e-n! I also bought a pair of Merrells (Duskair Maui) which are cute and comfy (not as cushy as this shoe, however) and less expensive, so I've got to figure out what to do here. I ordered the vintage gray/pewter color - looks exactly as pictured, but I'm not sure how much I like the colors in real life. I know I'll be doing a lot of walking in Europe, so I want to be sure I have a very comfortable shoe... and I don't want to wear sneakers.

I am in LOVE with the Kirei by Naot. These shoes are beyond comfortable while also being stylish. I have tried to find other brown mary-jane style closed toed shoes to wear to work that are both (comfortable and stylish) and struggled. I has some Clarks that came close, and some Alegria that totally missed the mark. I have a couple of pair of Dankos that I also love, but wanted something more for warmer weather than didn't look so clunky. I was hesitant about paying the price on these, but they are awesome! Right out of the box, they fit like a dream and could be worn all day. I have "normal width" feet, but with a bunion on one side, and these shoes fit without rubbing or irritating it. I highly recommend Kirei by Naot!

I ordered two pairs of Kirei shoes - the black leather combo and the metal. There were significant differences in quality of leather and detailing. The black leather combo is a newer color. The strap was thinner, leather very lightweight. The black leather in the main part of the shoe was softer and felt thinner also. My experience is that Naot shoes with thinner and softer leather stretch out and lose their shape in the first months of wear. The metal color shoes are an older color and were of a better quality leather, good instep strap, and felt like a quality shoe. They are cute shoes, with the color more versatile than expected. I have a low volume foot and narrow heel, usual US size 8.5, ordered a 40(9); Kirei 39 is too small, 40 is OK, no socks, summer and shoulder season wear only. I have worn Naots for many years. but in the past three years have returned more shoes for manufacturing defects and quality issues.

I've worn this shoe for many years because they relieve my foot pain and can handle airports, museums, amusement parks...days of being on my feet. They are perfectly padded and arched and the innersole can be replaced by Naot or you can use orthodics. They seem to be indestructible except for the suede. (Apply water repellent.) I've replaced the black ones only because the suede looked worn. Only negative comment is that the Velcro catches thread and other small debris. Also, they look slightly clunky but not more that any other comfortable walking shoe. The lighter colors are not as appealing as the dark ones, especially the black. They can be worn with any casual outfit including shirts and dresses and look good with opaque tights.

Cute shoe. I can tell they'd be comfortable but the W width did not fit my hobbit feet. I wish I could have broken them in but the leather edging was too stiff to even try.

A beautiful shoe, but runs smaller than other brands.

I usually wear a 12 or 13 and found the 43 to be way too small. The shoe is really cute so I'm sad it didn't fit and had to be returned. The color I ordered polar sea blue velvet navy suede is a rich dark blue, almost black.

Very comfortable. I stand 8-10 hours a day at work and my feet never hurt when i wear these shoes.

I've had these shoes for over 9 months. I bought and returned several other pairs before finding these treasures. They are literally the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I always take them when I travel. I've walked miles and miles in foreign cities over rough, unstable roads and felt fortunate to be wearing these wonderful shoes. I highly recommend them.

I think I may have tried on almost every mary jane shoe that Zappos sells. None can compare to this mary jane by Naot. It has a perfect insole and you can even buy replacements for them. My original pair is still going strong after two years of being worn every day, it's the perfect shoe for people like me with arthritis in their feet. Thanks Naot, Thanks Zappos
