Customer Reviews Naot Kirei

I have had numerous foot surgeries over the years due to complications from rheumatoid arthritis. Finding a comfortable, supportive shoe to wear for more than an hour is challenging. This NAOT is great! I The color is rich looking and I am hoping to order another pair in another color.

I absolutely love these! I am a size 7 and these fit perfectly with the slightly thicker socks (hand knit) that I wear in winter. They are really pricey but it is well worth it for socks that you can wear all day.

These are great shoes! I have bunions and need wide shoes. I also wanted something stylish. I wear a 9M and got these in 40W. They are very comfortable and stylish. Some may want more arch support, however it was adequate for me. I do wear them without socks or very thin ones. Otherwise, you would need a bigger size.

These are cute and comfortable! I plan to wear these on a trip. They do both casual and semi dressy well. I ordered black and am very happy with my purchase. The back has extra cushion so they are comfortable without socks. I have very difficult feet to fit with wearing wides, having a high instep, and being on my feet a lot. I love these and Zappos for their great service. I ordered multiple pairs of shoes and returned them and have finally found these and they work very well for me.

The Naot Kirai is perhaps the single most comfortable shoe I have ever owned. I can walk around in them for hours and feel no pain in my feet or my knees. I have bunions on both sides of my right foot, and a torn meniscus in my right knee, so finding comfortable shoes isn't easy for me. Thank heaven for this shoe. It's a winner in every way: style, comfort, and wearability.

I love Naot shoes. The footbed is a dream, and they are well made. The hard thing is that they are hard to get a good fit. Mostly too narrow with a toe box too shallow. If you don't have serious foot problems, then I would go for this shoe and more of its brand every time.

Great shoe--I love the gray color with the mixed textures. I wear a 7 1/2 wide normally and ordered both the 38 and 39. The 39 worked.

This is the perfect shoe! I have RA and needed shoe that I could walk in most of the day on a trip to Italy. This was the bomb. I am getting it in a couple of colors. Its actually kind of cute on!! I haven't had a cute shoe in years.

I have a pair of these shoes in black and they are comfortable and have lasted for several years. It was great to see them in a variety of color options.

These shoes are amazing. I work on my feet and sneakers are out of dress code. The Kirei are adorable with a little edge, (I bought them in the Volcanic Red) and insanely comfortable. The back of the shoe took about three days to soften up, but now that it's broken in these are the only shoes I wear whether I'm at work or not! Cute with socks or without, and the lining is super soft if you opt for no socks. In my experience I have found that Naot run a little small. I typically wear an 11 but always buy a 43 (12) in Naot.

Zappos provided a speedy delivery of this shoe. I want a shoe for travel that can be used for lots of walking and that can also be used with a dress. I have worn it all around the house and am hoping it will be the one. My feet are narrow, but I need a roomy toe box and my second toe is longer than the big toe, so I needed 2 sizes larger than my Finn Comfort sandals. Obviously, until I take it for a long walk outside, I won't really know and the rainy weather keeps putting off that trial, but it looks like I will agree with other women who have lauded this shoe as "with the high price".

Poor Zappos! I have been on a shoe ordering binge trying to find something that fit my feet. Plantar Fascitis, Hallux Toe, you name it, I thought I could find a shoe. Alas, not until now. These are wonderful shoes. Very roomy toebox, comfortable strap, footbed of wonder, and incredible comfort. Well worth the price and the time shopping, trying on, and returning. I will probably order these in the navy as well. I will say that the arch is the only thing in question, they feel different on each foot, but I am sure my feet are different. After walking around in them all day, it is not discomfort, and I don't notice it any longer. A wonderful shoe.

Overall: Well-built, durable, and very comfortable shoes, especially for someone with sciatica or lower back issues. I am size 5.5 to 6. I got size 36, which is slightly roomy but manageable with cotton liner socks. I got a pair for a trip in 2014. I was worried that I didn't have time to break into them, but I had absolutely no back/hip pain or shoe bites after trudging along airports and walking nonstop for hours on the streets of Seoul and Tokyo. After many disappointing purchases of other comfort brands such as Ecco, Clarks, Hush Puppies, Abeo, Naturalizers, etc., Naot's Kirei has been a life-saver for my travel-heavy life style and sciatica pain. Pros + Insoles = best part about these shoes. They are removable, soft, and built sturdy enough to have great arch support. + Toe box is spacious, allowing plenty of room to wiggle room for the toes! Big plus for someone with wide feet. + Velcro zip straps (not buckles) make it very easy to slip and out. + Sturdy and built to last! They're survived three international trips and three walking/standing-intensive conferences with me. With the exception of a few lose stitching (listed under "Cons" section below), these shoes are still standing and definitely still the most comfortable shoes I have. Cons (they need a little TLC) - The pair I received are squeaky. Not an issue if the noise doesn't bother you or others around you. - The stitching on the top/front of the shoes came off after about a year. I think this is just an aesthetic damage. - I got the mushroom color, which looked worn out after a month or so. It's not a forgiving color for stains - Maybe it's the mushroom color again, but they don't go with everything. I wear a lot of skirts and dresses and find myself reaching out to alternatives. I am thinking of getting them in black, but the poor stitching on the top- front is still a concern for me.

I wish there was a 41/2 score available for these shoes. The fit is great up to this point. I've only worn them a few times, so time will tell. If you're looking for comfort I think these will do the trick. As far as style, they're not for you if you're high fashion. I'm still trying to get used to the look of them. But with my tough to fit feet, I'd better adapt. I am a 91/2 N, sometimes 10. I am also developing a bunion on the top of my foot and have very little padding on the bottom of my feet. The shoe accommodates these issues.The heel looks a bit higher in the picture. They are well made however, and I hope to get many miles out of them. I will just have to find the right outfits to go with them.

These shoes were amazingly comfortable wearing them right out of the box for two entire days...most unusual for my hard to fit finicky feet.

These wonderful Naot's, are well made, quality leather, top of the line shoes. Very comfortable right out of the box. You can walk all day, your feet will thank you. They are pretty cute too. My true size 36, 6 are perfect.

I have problem feet. from the 1st instant I put them in, I loved them. thanks to the sources who advised that these run 1 full size larger; I usually wear 9 1/2 - 10 med. I ordered 9 and they are perfect. Love the look; so glad to have found shoes that are so comfortable and nice looking, that I don't have to wear my black sneakers on a near future trip to manhattan and Boston. If I feel differently afterward, I'll update review.

Loved the shoe. So pretty! They for my daughter. The toe was just a tad too close for comfort. Afraid to order next sz. Might be too big!

This is my favorite shoe. I'm on my fourth pair. These can be worn all day the first day you wear them. I like to wear them with SmartWool socks (in the winter). With these, no soft insoles are needed. They are great!

I got mine, true to size 6. Excellent quality, well made, extremely comfortable. Look beautiful. Can wear with anything. You can walk 24 hours, your feet and back will thank you. They are so cute. Buy these shoes. You won't be sorry. I love them. Will buy more colors. I'm at the age, can't wear stilettos any longer.

Cute shoes but not right for my problem feet. I have flat feet, a neuroma, and tailor bunions. The foot bed was nice and cushy, moderate arch support, but the width of the toe box wasn't as roomy as I needed it to be. Tried them on for a few minutes and when I took them off, my bunions were already red and irritated. For someone without tailor bunions, would be a nice shoe though.

I really love this shoe. I do volunteer work and stand on my feet for hours, do a great deal of walking, and these are the most comfortable shoes I have. Strangers today complimented me on how nice these shoes are. They are very good looking, and provide great support (including arch support).

I love the Naot Kirei! It fits my foot well and needs no break-in time in order to feel comfortable. I’ve purchased 2 pairs in black and one in Polar Sea/Navy and wear them everywhere – to the office, out to dinner, and just walking around. Depending on the manufacturer and style, my size is somewhere between 7.5 and 8 and somewhere between narrow and medium, so the 38 works perfectly for me..

I bought these in a 40 because I'm a size 10. They were significantly too-small, and I exchanged for a 41, which fit perfectly. All of the raves about Naot are accurate- these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I have long narrow feet with high arches, and I have huge bunions on both feet. It was getting impossible to get through a day in shoes, and my hips and legs were aching no matter what I wore. Enter Naot!! Best shoes ever and I've tried Arcopedico, Merril, and all the other 'comfort-brand' shoes: nothing compares to these (admittedly expensive) shoes. I've already ordered another pair. I do not part with this kind of $ easily, but as another reviewer said, I will spend time and money on other shoes and will not have the kind of relief and comfort that Naot offers..I'd give up the 50 pairs of shoes in my closet for a few pairs of Naots. I am wearing mine with skinny jeans and while they look a little dorky and orthopedic, they also have class and charm, and the comfort more than makes up for the less-than-sexy style. I'm at a point where comfort is sexy! If you are too, these shoes are for you. :-)

I ordered these shoes to see if I can get enough support to leave out my inserts. I have flat feet and tend toward tendinitis in ankle. These shoes are great with their own Naot insert.
