Customer Reviews Naot Kirei

These are fabulous shoes-- comfortable, supportive and very pretty. The velcro straps enable you to adjust the fit to your foot. They can be worn for everything from everyday to dressy occasions.

Strap is high on the foot and is too short for my feet, which tend to swell. It closes fine, but doesn't totally conceal the Velcro. Strap needs to be longer for where it's placed.

The most stylish shoes I've found that are comfortable and accommodate my orthotics. Wish they came in more high-style color combinations.

These shoes are so comfortable they needed no breaking in. I ordered them for a weekend of walking and sightseeing, and they were blissfully comfy, with no rubbing whatsoever. I was so impressed with this brand that I ordered the "Flirt" sandals and will never buy cheap shoes again! I'd much rather invest in a few pairs of well-made, comfortable shoes than a closet of cheapos that give me blisters or pinch or rub. I feel good about shopping at Zappos since it's virtually risk-free. I have an average width foot and found my normal size 6 (a 37 in this style) a perfect fit. Can't wait to try more shoes in this line!

I have purchase 5 pairs of these in size 38. I have a wide toe area, and usually wear a W width. However, even though they are marked as a medium, they fit perfectly. The only downside is that the stitching between the leather and the suede on the front of the shoe has pulled apart after only a few wearings. It's like the stitching didn't catch the suede properly.

I have an older pair of the Kirei style in taupe and was excited to get these in black to replace a pair whose sole broke down. Unfortunately this new pair is visibly shorter than the pair I have and thus uncomfortable on my feet. Had to return.

The shoes were poorly made, which is not what I've experienced in the past with Naot shoes.

Oh wow, these are so comfortable. I bought the 40 (size 9) and they fit perfect. My foot is a little on the narrow side though I always order regular, and these still work wonderfully as the Velcro strap can easily be tightened or loosened as needed. I think these are more comfortable that any tennis shoe I have ever worn. I plan to wear these on my trip to France in the spring, and will most likely buy another color as well. I would have never thought these would be this comfortable, much less be very cute on too. Tried them with black leggings and jeans, and they look cute and classy. Not a bulky looking shoe, it is streamlined actually. I am attaching a photo…..over look the Christmas leggings.

This is a nice shoe: actual leather, arch support, comforable in the bed, which is removable. They feel really nice, except that extra piece on the heel irritates my heel, and the strap turns a bit due to the way it's configured, and digs into the skin of the tops of my feet, so I had to return them.

I have several pairs of these shoes. The BEST kind of this style of shoe out there! My feet are sooooo hard to fit, I almost gave up on any kind of flat or dress shoe and thought I’d have to only wear running shoes with orthotics or Birkenstock sandals for the rest of my life! And that doesn’t always work!! Then I discovered these and am sooo happy! I can wear them all day and my feet don’t get sore. I have a weird arch (or placement where my arch is) that means that Ecco, Clarks, Keen, etc etc shoes never fit me. I have wide foot, narrow heel. These fit me!! And I don’t even have to order wide. I really like the Kirei and Matai the best and also have worn the Rome and Rongo. Some of the Naots in regular width are too tight on me but these styles work very well. I haven’t tried the boots yet but want to; I have a really hard time find a dress boot (hiking boots aren’t AS hard to find).

I have worn Naot Kirei shoes for several years, but Naot seems to now be making them a more narrow width. First I ordered medium width and they were too tight, so I ordered a replacement in wide width. They fit perfect! Naot, please make Kirei in wide width in all the colors.

I bought my first pair 10 years ago before a trip with a lot of walking. They were comfortable from the start. Those 10 year old shoes look a bit worse for the wear but still feel great. How many shoes can you say that about? I bought a pair in a different color 2 years ago and they are just as good. I have never owned more comfortable shoes.

Man, I wish this shoe had fit because I love the style and quality. The insole provided lots of cushion and a great arch support (for the 2 minutes or so that I had them on). However, the length was just shy of what I need. Life is hard with a ladies' plus-size foot. I wear a US 12, and find the typical presumption of a euro 42 match offensive (That's an 11.5 at best, dang you!). The 43 is generally a safe bet, but in this case, it just touched my second, protrusive phalange... but only on one foot?? Anyway, had they been $75, I might have kept them for sock-free use. But with a nearly $200 price tag, these puppies are going back. Too bad, because I'm really needing a pair of all-purpose trotters, and I'd dreamt of having found them.

I have worn Naot Kirei mary janes for about 6 years and love them because the fit is pretty consistent and is true to size 8. I also value the simple design which can be very casual or a little dressy. The suede in some of the colors is very flexible and conforms well to individual feet. Like many reviewers, I have some trouble with Naot sizing. I am a definite 8.5 in one foot and between 8 and 8.5 in the other foot. The Kirei feels somewhat cramped on the larger foot, but the shoe and my foot tend to accommodate each other after a little wear. I wear a 39 in the Kirei and Naot sandals. I've tried size 40 in the Kirei and find that size is definitely too big - it's especially too wide, as my foot tends to be narrow-medium width. The support is excellent for a mary jane which is less structured than an oxford or sneaker. All in all, while the price is high, the value is good, and the shoe lasts at least two years with everyday wear. The velcro strap is the only part of the shoe that finally wears out.

I ordered a 39 and a 40, as we are leaving soon for Italy! And I’m not familiar with this brand. The 40 worked perfectly with my orthotics. I wore them with no troubles right out of the box. Comfortable, not too dorky (a relative scale), these will work for my dressier shoes on our trip.

Love these shoes. These are my second pair. Fit great, comfy all day and can fit my custom orthotics if I choose. I typically find them more comfortable with out the custom orthotics.

This is perhaps the perfect shoe. I am overweight with extremely sensitive feet, high arches, and a painful heel spur and these allow me to be active all day. I bought the black pair 6 months ago and they were comfortable right out of the box with no break-in period needed. And these are so versatile I can wear them walking nature trails or dressed up for the holidays. Even as summer rolls around I am finding they look great any time of year.

It's so hard to find stylish comfortable shoes for wide, flat feet. Hallelujah!

The comfort was immediate. I felt like I was walking on the beach. The style is such that it is generous in the toe area.

The most comfortable shoes I've ever worn in my life. I've never bought such an expensive pair of shoes before, but I got tired of my feet hurting all the time. I have a very narrow heel, high arch, and wide front due to bunions. It is generally impossible for me to find anything that is comfortable. These were great, right out of the box. To be truthful, I find them a little ugly because of the mary jane strap going across which secures with velcro. I will probably mostly wear them with pants, as the pant leg will cover up the strap. But they are so comfortable I actually don't care that much how they looked. I think they run a little big, as I took a size 39 when I usually wear an 8 1/2 or even 9 shoe.

These are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn. They are very pretty. I am on my feet most of the day, and these feel great all day. I have even worn them at home when I do not usually wear shoes, to give my feet some comfort as I am cooking. They are squishy soft inside, like padded slippers, but still provide good support and are not sloshy like slippers or ballerina-style shoes. I have a high instep, but the band along the top is plenty big enough and does not pinch.

I have this shoe in blue and black and would buy it again in red and green. Great shoe, great fit, super comfortable, and holds up beautifully. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I love these shoes so much that I own 3 pairs. I wear them all day to work and they are just great. I wish they were available in more colors that I could use.

I bought a pair of these shoes in the brown and the black since I am on my feet all day at work. They are very comfortable and look cute with pants or a skirt. My only issue with them is the fact that after just a few times wearing them, the soles began to squeak pretty badly, that's not something I feel should be happening given the price of the shoe. Besides that, I couldn't have asked for a more comfortable shoe for work!

Wonderful shoes! Great fit and arch support. I love the mulberry color. Bottom of the shoe has great tread-a fiddlehead fern. So comfortable. Thanks Zappos for always providing excellent service.
