Customer Reviews Naot Kirei

I have several pairs of Naots but I needed a pair of closed toe flats for a trip to Europe. After reading all the reviews, yes all, I got these. While not "fashion forward", they actually look good with pants and longer skirts. They are light and the sole molds to your foot. I am wearing them before my trip and think they will be great! I wear a 7 1/2 and the 38 is perfect with some wiggle room for my toes! The black is great and the toe is not so round to look orthopedic!

Terrific all purpose shoe. Stylish, comfortable great support. I bought 3 pairs in different colors but can't return any.

I have 7 rods in each foot. I need comfortable and supportive shoes. These fit the bill. They are very comfortable & even dressey for the gal that cannot wear high heeled dress shoes.

I recently went to Italy in December and needed a non-sneaker walking shoe. I was looking for a non-ugly pair of black shoes that I could walk all day in (and wear socks with). I searched and searched for the perfect shoe, and kept coming back to these on Zappos, but couldn't pull the trigger. I ended up buying them at a local mall a few days before I left and boy am I glad I bought them. They weren't all that bad looking with jeans on and were very comfortable day after day of sightseeing. I also photograph weddings, and wore them recently to a 10 hour day and they were great for that job too. Pricey, but they ended up being worth it. Hopefully they last a while!

One of my favorite Naot styles, I have it in 5 colors. It's comfortable from the minute you put it on. You can't go wrong with any of their shoes. Zappos is a pleasure to do business with.

It's been a few years since I've owned NAOT shoes, so I had forgotten how utterly comfortable these are. I've been dealing with foot pain for the last year or two and decided to go with NAOT again, despite the somewhat frumpy appearance. I LOVE THEM. The comfort makes it all worth it! Why can't all shoe manufacturers make shoes so comfortable?! So worth the price.

These are the most amazing shoes and worth every penny! I have walked the world with them. There is excellent support...i have on occasion used them instead of sneakers. They are comfortable and look "cool". I love them for me and have gifted them to friends and relatives. The Kirei is heaven on your feet!

These shoes are incredibly comfortable. They are soft, yet still very supportive. They're also very cute as just a casual, every day shoe. I was hesitant to buy these because of the price, but am so happy I finally did.

Cute and comfy Mary Janes. I ordered the Kirei in my normal size 40, but when they arrived, the fit was too snug. I should've listened to the other reviewers and ordered a size up. Zappos customer service was excellent and they shipped my new size out the same day I called. My only recommendation is to spray the shoe with a waterproofer before wearing them out. The suede stains VERY easily, even if it's just with water. Other than that, I'm happy with the shoe and will be ordering it in another color.

These shoes are so comfortable that I have them in three colors and wear them all the time.

This shoe is so comfortable, I can't take them off! Lots of compliments too. With the velcro strap, it fits my narrow foot perfectly.

I needed comfy and supportive shoes for a trip to Europe. Unfortunately, I was not organized enough to buy shoes early enough to break them in before leaving for my trip. I bought these shoes online, tried them (and many other shoes on that were recommended by travelers on the internet) and kept these. From the moment I put them on they were comfortable. I walked miles and miles on these shoes right out of the box--no blisters no pain. Wow. I am buying these in another color--they may not be the cutest shoe you will ever wear but they may be the most comfortable shoe you ever wear! PS--I get compliments about these shoes every time I wear them!

After much thinking (the price was one consideration!) I decided to order this pair of Naot Kirei. I ordered the silver/grey: they are beautiful ans so comfortable, like walking on clouds...Just what I needed! I might order a second pair. Thanks Zappos, your service is excellent!

Love these shoes. Ordered so many pairs before finding these. I have a narrow foot and needed a good walking shoe for Italy. This on fit the bill. Walked for hours and hours in these shoes with no discomfort. And they were brand new.

Just returned from a week of tromping around Spain in these Naots - they are perfect for travel! Immediately comfortable out of the box, the Kirei has a wide toe box, superior arch support and shock absorption. Dressy enough for a casual dinner, but sporty enough for touring cathedrals, olive tree farms and museums, they can also accommodate a thin sock for cooler weather. True to size initially, they stretched a bit after a couple of days, but not to the point where they felt loose. Foot felt cool while walking and stayed dry even when it rained (or stepping in the occasional puddle). Would buy again!

I have "bad" feet, having undergone surgeries for bunions and a damaged posterior tibial tendon. I had just about given up on finding some truly comfortable shoes, until I discovered Naots! I love my Kireis. At the end of the day when I wear them, my feet feel as if they've been massaged. I was so impressed with them, as a matter of fact, that I bought two more pairs of Naots, the Sea and the Matai. Naots are more expensive than any shoes I've ever purchased, but they are worth every cent. I wear a size 8 1/2. I first ordered a 38 but had to return them for a 39. (Zappos is wonderful about returns.)

The most comfy shoes I've worn in years! Plus, they don't look like my usual orthopedic clunky styles. They are actually quite attractive (I got them in violet.) I don't agree that they run large, in fact I think they run just a tad bit short. I typically wear a 9, and these are just a tiny bit snug in length. Not so much that I will exchange them, but on San Francisco hills you notice when your toes hit the end of the shoe. I wish I could afford to get a couple more pairs in different colors.

Super comfortable right out of the box - not something I'm used to. I got the purple ones and they are very nice, enough color to stand out while remaining a neutral.

Very comfortable. I needed a size larger than usual to achieve that comfort. Needed a 41 instead of a 40. I don't know if that is a half size or a whole size different.

I am floored by the comfort of these shoes. I have been suffering with plantar fasciitis for about a year. I am a teacher and am on my feet all day. My feet were so sore that I was almost to the point of not being able to walk. I purchased my first pair of Naot shoes in the Kirei Platinum style and am thrilled with them. I was a bit skeptical about paying the high price for the shoes, however. This price of shoe is very steep for one on a teacher's salary. The Naots immediately felt wonderful on my feet and provided excellent support. My feet have not hurt as much in the morning upon rising and I am hopeful these will help improve my plantar fasciitis condition over time. The shoes are stylish and look great with my work pants. They are not boxy and unflattering like many of the "comfort" shoes I looked at. I am 48 years old and I still like to look youthful and stylish so how the shoe looks is as important as how it fits. I have an additional problem with a bunion on one of my feet and the Naots are roomy enough across the toe box to accommodate this problem. I am planning to order another pair in black. While I haven't read any comments about how well the shoes hold up, I certainly hope they last a long time considering the cost.

I'm wearing my Kirei's right now and they are so comfy! I bought them for a trip to Italy and it was a big investment for me to spend this much on a pair of shoes. I have gotten Ecco's before for my trips and they have failed me miserably - I've gotten blisters and cuts and the support never lasted. (They were ugly as sin too!) That was a lot of money for me and these were even more, BUT they are worth every penny! Not only are they more comfortable and better made - they're cute too! I'm a complete Naot freak now. I bought the Dorith sandals as well and they are the only shoes I wore on the trip for 3 weeks. We walked close to 150 miles and the shoes were up to the task. I never had sore feet. I'm now ready to throw out almost all of my shoes and am looking to slowly stock up on other Naot shoes. I have never been so comfortable. The thought of wearing most of my other shoes is torture! I was so enthusiastic that my husband got a pair too that he really liked. On another note - I had a baby 2 1/2 years ago and my big toe on my right foot grew and is longer than my other toe - what a pain! Because of the angle of these shoes, I finally don't feel my big toe hitting my shoe - what a godsend! Thank you Naot!

Just returned from a trip to London wearing the Kirei most of the days and for many miles...very comfortable -- more so than athletic shoes -- and adaptable to go to the theater in the evening. Would definitely recommend them. I wear a size 5 1/2 and the size ended up with the size 5. The 6 seemed too large.

This cute shoe leaves a lot of your top foot exposed and may not be so good in winter weather. It was a little short, so I returned it.

These have to be the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn! I usually wear high heels, wedges or platforms. These have just enough of a heel, so I'm not wearing "flats." Love them!
