This is my fourth pair of Kirei by Naot. I cannot find another shoe as comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised to find this metal color, which will go with everything. As always, Zappos service was excellent. I had these shoes in a minute - and no delivery charge!

I love these shoes! I had to return the first pair as they were a little too small, so I thought they ran small. I am glad for free shipping both ways! Thanks, Zappos!

These are my absolute favorite walking shoes. They are truly comfortable even with my bunion and wide feet. I can wear them all day.

My feet are particularly challenging, I probably need a custom fit -- but often a EE shoe will do it. Not this time, sadly. Could not even get the shoe on. I can't rate down the comfort or style, since I know that it's me, not the shoe. Except that I don't think they are as wide as marked.

I just got these shoes and like the other reviewers, loved them as soon as I put them on. I will say, though, that my feet get hot in these right away, so I've ordered the smartwool peds to wrap around the inserts, as one reviewer suggested. I hope to get through 18 days of Europe trekking without blisters or sore feet with these and a pair of Dansko "Sophie" sandals!

Wore these to Europe last fall -- climbed rocky Mount Sainte-Victoire in them, walked miles of cobblestone streets -- and not a blister in site. Advice from multiple trips to Europe -- do not wear socks/linings with your leather shoes as the socks cause friction and blisters. Also love the extra toe room. Why did I think to write a review now? Because I'm looking for athletic walking shoes and can't find any as comfortable as these!

I really like these shoes. They are very cute and go with many different outfits. They are comfortable for the most part, but I wish they had a little more arch support.

I have this style Naot in four colors. They're very comfortable for my foot which has high arch and narrow heel. I ordered one size down from normal size and fit is perfect. Love this color-neutral that goes with everything except light summer colors. Wear them all the time when traveling overseas.

This is my 3rd pair of Naot Kirei's! Great shoe. I practically live in these, which is why I've bought several! They look great with jeans and casual dress pants. Perfect travel shoes. I've vacationed and walked everywhere in these shoes: Vancouver, Seattle, Guatemala, Spain... Comfortable, cute, and supportive, yet not a bulky athletic shoe. I have narrow heels, but need a wider toe box for my bunion. I have flat feet and tend to pronate, but these have the perfect amount of arch support and solve all my foot problems. And I'm not that old...only 39! Which is why I want a cuter kind of shoe for travel. This shoe is perfect. I wear 8.5-9 in US sizes. Size 40 is perfect for me.

Right out of the box these shoes were comfortable. I have Plantar Fasciitis on my right foot and need to take great care about what shoes I can wear. I found it better to wear a type of "ped" with the shoes. I usually wear 8.5 US, but ordered 40 in these as other Naot's run just a bit short if I order a 39. The strap has an uncomfortable seam that can rub the top of the foot but plan to put a strip of mole skin on that to prevent rubbing. Would prefer no "patent" effect on the shoes. Otherwise a good choice and I plan to order again in a suitable fall color. Very roomy in the toe-box, but not overly so.

Fantastically comfortable shoe! I wear a 43 (11.5 N) and it's hard to find shoes. This one fits like a glove. I didn't have to break them in. It's a great casual shoe that I can wear with pants. I will try more Naot shoes.

These shoes worked incredibly well! I bought them to use on a trip that would require a lot of walking and they exceeded expectations. I did purchase a 1/2 size smaller like other recommendations that I had read suggested, and they fit like a glove. Absolutely no rubbing on any parts of my feet either! I would've liked to have had just a bit more arch support in them, but I have an incredibly high arch. Overall, I am very pleased with these shoes!

Third time I have bought these shoes. They are great for travel, comfortable to walk in and easy to get on and off at the airport. Can look casual or dressy.

I adore these shoes. They are very comfortable and cute too. I've walked around the city in them without any issues. I've now purchased another color. I did line the footbed with a smartwool footie for my personal comfort in the summer, and it helps.

I just decided to order a second pair of the same shoe in case it would become unavailable, and it was unavailable. Hopefully it is temporary. I've been wearing these shoes everywhere including a trip to Paris and other cities for three years. Mine are still OK, but I was worried about the day that they might not be, and I'm going on a long trip to South America where I'll be walking in a lot of cities. These are the most comfortable shoes that I have had probably even including my sneakers. I have bunions, and I need arch support, and these shoes work with both.I did order some other Naots thinking that I had found the shoe maker, but I had to send them back as they were not as comfortable. I just noticed when I was looking that these are the only shoes that come in a wide width. I assume that is the reason. It seems that Naot might consider making some other styles in the wide width, and please don't let me find out that these are not longer available.

Hands down, these are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever found. I have spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars trying to find comfortable walking shoes. These are it! I walked miles in them. No blisters, no soreness. Perfect! I highly recommend them. I just ordered two more pairs, only available in the same color, for fear that they will stop making this model.

This is my third pair of Naot shoes and my second pair of this style. I have to have straps due to my foot configuration. They are pricey for me, but they're worth it. The fit is great, and they are amazingly comfortable. They are good shoes for walking. I highly recommend them.

Love this style. It fills the need for a comfortable walking shoe that looks delicate enough to wear with pants for dressier occasions. It's soft and flexible, doesn't blister my blister-prone feet even without shoe liners, and can provide enough support for walking a few miles on city streets. Might ask for a bit more arch support if I had to stand on my feet all day, but this works for a few hours.

This is the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever worn. I bought it right before a trip to Europe. My podiatrist recommended that I wore shoes with hard soles due to a foot condition.
There was no breaking in needed. I was able to walk for an extended period the first day without my feet hurting or getting blisters.
The Velcro straps rubbed against my pants and caused the hems to unravel a bit.

Love these shoes. Bought my first pair two years ago and wore them all summer to work. I wanted a comfortable pair of shoes that I could wear without socks and needed to have closed toe shoes. I also get blisters very easily. These shoes were exactly what I was looking for. Although a little on the expensive side, this summer I decided to buy another pair - this time in volcanic red. Again, they do not disappoint and the color is amazing. To me, they are not the most stylish shoe, but the comfort and practicality of them are what makes these a must buy!

I love these shoes. So comfortable, yet very attractive; I have gotten a lot of compliments. Good with casual or medium-dressy wear. I am a long time fan of Naot shoes and sandals, and these are now at the top of my favorites.

These are not really my style, but I needed a wide shoe with a supportive footbed for my wide feet, plantar fasciitis and high arches. That's a tall order! But Naot delivers. The footbed is excellent and I wear these to work all the time. I only wish they were "cuter" (so much going on in the design here!) and that Naot made MORE shoes in wide!

Please never stop selling this style! I have flat feet and it very unusual that I can get away with no inserts. However, with Naots, I don't need them because of the fantastic arch support. I wear these without socks. This is my 3rd pair in 3 different colors. I walked in these for 2 days in Charleston with no complaints, so working on my feet all day is never a problem. These are worth the money. I have had 1 black suede pair for years and they look new.
