Customer Reviews Naot Kirei

I am a size 6.5 and I fit right between the 37 and 38. I really wanted these to work. At this price I just could not compromise on city and I am looking for something for walking during travel. They are so cute. The color is better than what it appears online. A really nice shoe if it fits well. Good arch support.

I've tried on several different styles of Naots. The footbed always feels like heaven, but sadly, up till now, they were always just a tad bit tight in the forefront area where my bunion is making my foot wider and wider. I was just about to give up on the brand, but couldn't resist trying one more. This is it! I haven't worn them outside yet, because I'm still debating about the color. I ordered the copper, which is a little dark for summer. Thinking about getting the platinum to compare. But I'm concerned about the lighter color in the suede getting dirtier. I'd love to hear from anyone who has tried that color as to how they wear. Or from anyone else about how the suede holds up in general! Anyone get caught in the rain in them?

Like several other reviewers I have terrible feet. I'm also terribly cheap. This was the kind of purchase that makes you wonder if surgery might just be a better idea in the end. But they are perfect! I love them. I've walked all over NYC (without angering my neuroma)and around my country yard. They flex in the toe but keep your foot from rocking side to side. They have a wide toe box without being too roomy in the ankle. They have some arch support and I wear them barefoot all the time and are ridiculously comfortable. They are like sneakers though, in that you might want to get the largest size that your are accustomed to. (I wear a 9 in sneakers 8 in dress shoes and needed the larger size.)

I have never in my life paid this much for a pair of shoes -- and I am in one of my latter decades of life - ie. these feet have done a lot of walking! But I also have never before put on a pair of shoes that fit my feet like someone had handmade them for me. I bought them for a trip to France and wore them continuously. They worked for days of walking and also for dining at night. It was worth the investment -- and I'd buy more shoes made by this manufacturer.

These shoes are well-built and attractive, with an excellent insole! Unfortunately, I still had to return them, as the size "12" is actually a size 11. I really wish they'd fit!

These are my first Naots and they are extremely comfortable right out of the box and required no break-in period. It is perfect for work and also kept my feet dry. I ordered my regular size and it fit true to size. Highly recommend!

This is bar none, the best shoe I have ever put on my foot. It is comfortable & supportive. I bought it for trip to Europe where we will be doing a lot of walking, so will report after the trip. In the meantime, have worn it around town to break them in, and don't even think I needed to do that. Good support all the way round, and the shoe looks nice with casual and even some dressier clothing. This neutral color works well with a lot of things. May buy a pair in every color and never wear anything else other than the athletic shoes I use in the gym. I bought a 38 and normally wear a size 7. My foot runs a little narrow. Well worth the money if your care about comfort and quality.

I love this shoe. I teach abroad every summer and this shoe has been terrific. This style is versatile, comfortable, and well worth the money. I have a black pair, grey pair and I'm getting ready to order a pair in blue. I walk miles and my original black pair are now two years old and hardly show any wear. I wear a 7 and find this shoe true to size.

These are great shoes. They are worth the money. Easy on/off through airport security. Can be dressed up or down. I walked for hours in these on recent vacation and had no problems whatsoever. They were super comfortable from the beginning.

I have "problem feet", so it is difficult finding shoes that are both stylish and fit comfortably that I can wear for a long day of walking. I bought these for an upcoming trip to Italy. I have been very impressed so far. I can adjust them for my one foot that is wider/shorter than the other, the provider excellent support and are really cute with pants and shorts. Highly recommend these!

This is my second pair of Naot shoes. The first pair was purchased locally just a few weeks ago, and it's official, I am hooked. These things are ridiculously comfortable. I cannot get enough of these amazing shoes and I am back looking for another style. So comfortable. It's like heaven on my feet. Note about the Peacock/Purple/Violet, it's far more purple in person. The pictures on the site make it look closer to an oxblood color, but I am very pleased regardless.

I have been looking for a comfortable walking shoe forever! And this is it. I have a narrow heel as well as bunions - not easy to fit. Because of the strap and the wide toe box, this fits perfectly. Other than the fact that it is a Mary Jane (and I don't think women my age look good in that style), there is absolutely nothing to improve. Expensive but absolutely worth it. Wore all over Europe (right our of the box, I know...). Never a blister. Never sore knees. Never sore feet. This is a 100% positive recommendation to buy this shoe!

I have struggled to find a shoe that would look okay with a skirt or pants and still be comfortable for lots of city walking, but also lightweight to pack. Didn't want a sandal. These are sooo comfortable, and I have a foot that is very hard to fit.

I own several pairs of Naots and they are my favorite shoes. I expected nothing less from this latest pair, and it lived up to my expectations. I put them on and left for a trip where I knew I'd have to do lots of walking. Never an ache, sore spot or blister. I need some extra arch support because of latent plantar fasciitis and these were perfect, just like all the others. I have purchased new Naot insoles for my other shoes, and they live on and on. Well worth the price!

I love these shoes! I bought them for a trip to Paris and they have been the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned! No breaking in required. I can walk in these shoes for hours!

It took a couple of try's to find the perfect shoe, but this is it! I have a lot of foot problems so it is hard to find a shoe you can actually wear for a couple of miles right off bat. I tired this first around the house just to be sure and after that I have worn them everywhere and no pain, no blisters and no Bunion problems. Will be going to Paris in May and have no worries!

Beautiful shoe, very very comfortable, but a smidgen too small. I'm afraid the next full size up will be too big. I'm really bummed I have to send these back.

Very comfortable, cushioned with good support. I plan to wear them on a trip to Paris, and so far, breaking them in, anticipate happy feet!

These shoes are awesome, the more you wear them the more comfortable they get. I thought they might be too small when I got them but I wore them a couple of days and they fit perfect now, worth every penny.

I've worn these for years. They're more comfortable than any pair of sneakers I've ever owned, but I can wear them with nice slacks or a suit to work and still look appropriate. They are very durable - I tend to walk on the outside of my foot, so my other shoes tend to wear down on the outer edge of the sole. It's not a problem with these.

Love these shoes for support and comfort. The higher cut in the front top of the shoe works for my bunion too - no rubbing.

These are the best shoes I have ever owned! I work in retail & am on my feet 40 hours a week. There is no "breaking-in" period with these shoes - they are fantastic right away & keep my feet comfortable all day. They have excellent arch support & are really cute. I can wear them with a lot of different things. They molded to the shape of my foot. After pounding them hard for a year & a half, they are finally wearing out & I am getting another pair! For me, being able to wear these with so many things & get a good year out of them (wearing them almost every day) was well worth the cost. You can also get replacement insoles! I want every color!

I bought the Kirei in black and loved them so much I bought a second pair in brown. I normally wear a 7.5 and the 38 fits perfectly. I wear them with dress pants and with jeans. Extremely comfortable and mold to your foot after wearing. I've had mine for a couple years now and they feel like wearing slippers.

This is a great shoe! It has the excellent good quality I've grown to love about Ecco. It is true to size and, best of all, has great support making walking in these very comfy.
