Customer Reviews Naot Kirei

I have medium to wide feet due flat feet and one foot having a bunion. I usually wear 6.5 and the 6 worked great! First time buyer and I am now addicted! It's pricey but after going through so many different brands (Teva, Sanita, Dansko, Merrell, Born, Nautralizer, Chaco, Pikolinos, etc.) these may be the ultimate winner! Will be buying some sandals.

I work in a winery. We are expected to dress nicely and not wear clunky athletic shoes, but we are on our feet for up to six hours at a stretch, on a variety of surfaces that include grassy slopes that can be slippery. Naturally, high heels are right out, and regular flats just do not offer the support and comfort that you need. These shoes are endlessly comfortable and pretty, too, while also giving me security on all those different surfaces. Unlike Danskos (a favorite among food service people) the soles on these shoes are perfectly flat on the bottom, which I think is better for stability. The embossed design on the soles provides good traction. Inside, there is great arch support and clever padding that I think is even better than athletic shoes. The insides feel like suede, really soft and pleasant to wear even without socks or hose, which is how I wear them. The straps keeps the shoes from slipping off your feet the way normal flats could and I like that they are easily adjustable with Velcro. They breathe, too. What is not to love? Well, the price, maybe, but you get what you pay for, right?

These are my favorite shoes of all time. Expensive for my budget but worth it due to excellent arch support. In terms of styling, I'm not crazy about Mary Janes but with my narrow heel, they are about the only flat-type shoe that will stay now that double lasts are (mostly) a thing of the past.

The Kirei shoes arrived and as soon as I put them on, my feet felt great. The shoes are stylish and so comfortable. They are light and provide support for my feet. I ordered my regular size, and the shoes fit wonderfully. This is my first pair of Naots; however, they will not be the last. This is a great shoe in a great color: sterling leather/grey suede/gray patent leather.

I ordered these because of the amazing reviews and need a comfy supportive walking shoe for Europe. I wear an 11 but ordered a size 11 and a 10 based on reviews that they ran large. They did not! The 11 fit too snugly. My feet are medium wide so finding shoes are a problem. Mediums seem to be too snug and wide's are too wide. If your foot was a true medium then they will be great. Very attractive and supportive just a tad too fitted for me.

Very nice shoe. As a hostess I stand for hours. It is very comfortable and stylish to wear to work at a fine dinner restaurant.

I chose this shoe because I cannot walk long distances on a shoe without adequate support. I bought this shoes for a trip that had me walking on city streets the whole day for 9 days straight. The shoe was perfect from day 1 without the need for socks or stockings. Highly recommended.

I love these shoes! After trying the copper, I immediately ordered a pair in black. They are so comfortable. I didn't really need to break them in at allI love the cushioned footbed as that's where my feet often hurt after standing or walking for extended periods of time.

Every pair of Naot I have bought are the most comfortable shoes ever. The shoes have a good arch support. I have six different styles of Naot, I love them all.Some are a little wide so I wear them with thin cotton socks.

I had worn another style of Naot shoes and loved them. I wasn't sure how this one would feel, but it's great. The shoe looks nice with denim, navy or blue pants and skits. Cover the insert with a cotton PEDS and wear them barefoot - nice and cool.

I searched a long time and hesitated before spending this kind of money on a shoe. I am so happy I did. They are comfortable, very cute and versatile, and worth every penny.

Naot makes some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn and these are no exception. The only issue I have is their sizing. The other pair I bought were in my normal size 10 and I had to send them back for a size 11, which fit perfectly. I ordered these in an 11 and they fit.

These shoes are more comfortable than tennis shoes. I wear them everywhere and with everything including dresses. If you are not used to wearing shoes with good arch support, at first these feel strange but your foot quickly adjusts.

Sadly, I had to return this shoe -- it is adorable and I loved it, but I have a foot problem that makes most shoes impossible. I found them to also be a size too small -- my regular size found my toes crunched in the front. Zappos is fantastic. I think they arrived on my doorstep as soon as I clicked 'send' on my order! (Actually, they arrived the next day!) No problems returning it either. I might try them again in the next half size up. Truly, a beautiful and well made shoe.

I have these in the purple sparkly color, which I guess is discontinued. I've worn them daily for a couple of years and wish I could replace them in that color. They're the best shoes I've ever owned, and also one of the cutest pairs. I get a lot of compliments on them. Nowadays the leather is a little scuffed, and because it's the sparkly leather it doesn't clean up as well as I'd like, but I'd imagine a more smooth leather would stay better longer. Definitely a great buy. Very comfortable, and also the most comfortable of the Naot shoes I own (Sea and another one similar to Kirei that's also discontinued).

Even though I have worn Naot shoes for years, and have consistently worn their size 11, I had to return my first pair of these Kirei because they were too small. But with Zappos' free return policy, I had a size 12 within a few days. At first I thought the size 12 was too small also, but after a few days of wearing them around the house, they seemed to conform to my foot and now fit like a glove. I love them. I have another, now retired, pair of Naot Mary Janes that had a slight ridge on the bottom at the heel that occasionally caused me to lose my balance. The Kirei, I'm happy to say, does not have a ridge at all and keeps me very sure footed. I would definitely buy these again.

Great walking shoe. Planning a 5 week trip to Europe. Wearing these around now and seem great. I have narrow feet wear a normal 71/2 But got an 8 and it is fine. Good room in the toe box. I am 65 and wear tennis shoes and ballet flats most of the time.

Wow - incredibly comfortable shoe! I have flat feet and bunions, and this doesn't irritate either.

These are the best shoes ever. I have had them for years and they are my go-to travel shoe. They have literally been to four different continents, where I walked miles and miles. I've even hiked in them when I had no other shoes with me. They are the best! I replaced the insoles once.

I think they are cute except for the section that wraps around the back and over the top (forming the section that has the hook and loop closure) which looks very plastic. Too bad as the shoe is really comfortable and cute otherwise!

These are the most comfortable office attire/professional work shoes I've ever tried on! Cute too! Solid, comfortable support for an entire day on your feet. Well worth the money.

These are great and supportive shoes to wear all day. I got them after being diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, and they help. Removable but already high quality insoles with arch support (though nothing has ever touched my super-high arches). Could easily accommodate orthotic inserts. Good quality.

Super comfy - love these shoes! The brown is darker than it looks in the photo, which is why I am returning. Thanks Zappos.

I purchased this shoe for my 89 year old mother. She loved them and the velcro strap made it very easy for her to manage putting the shoes on without help. It was a perfect fit too!
