Customer Reviews Naot Kirei

I bought these in the metal leather/pewter leather/gray leather and they weren't even sort of gray. They're various shades of brown, slightly toward taupe and bronze. Icky combination. And they fit quite differently from all the other Naot Koru shoes I have -- they seem both a bit longer and a bit wider (especially in the heel). Not enough to size down one, but enough so I don't think I can wear them comfortably. So I won't keep them. Darn, because I need some new maryjanes like this. Sigh. Great arch support and slightly clunky, as usual.

These were a replacement for the exact same shoe and style. The soles never wear out, but the suede and trim do normally age. This is one of the most comfortable of the Naot brand hence all the color choices. I like the blue as it goes with almost everything and stays relatively cleaner. Wore these on a trip to Europe and walked alot on uneven pavement. Very satisfied.

I really wanted to like these and was loathed to return them but the strap across my arch wasn't long enough and my arch is about average. The hooks of the velcro closure were exposed making for a fuzz attracter. The comfort of the footbed was great. I'll have to try other Naot brand shoes in the future.

I'm a 9.5 and these darling shoes only come in full sizes and both the 9 and 10 didn't work out. Sorry that they're going back as I was look for a casual maryjane shoe. Footbed is very comfortable and the brown leather is soft, just the right color.

I was looking for a sturdy pair of work shoes for retail and thought with all of the reviews of people walking for miles that these would work. Unfortunately they don't seem as sturdy as what I'm looking for, they're definitely a flexible walking shoe and not up for more heavy use (I run into shelving and accidentally kick things quite a bit). The arch also hit my foot too far towards my toes to be comfortable.

I have wide feet and the width “wide” is comfortable. The color is too similar to another pair of shoes I own, will return for another color. Well made.

pretty. comfy. but a tad on the small size. When my feet swell at the end of a day they will be too tight.

The write-up for these shoes said they ran large and to order a size smaller--but they were too small!!! I would like to exchange them for my regular size,39.

I have a bunion and had to order wides. I think the length felt a little short - I'm a 9 1/2 and the 41 squeezed my toes slightly. However, the main issue was my heel - even with the mary jane strap I walked right out of these shoes. Sending back.

Finding shoes that fit is so hard! I wear 11.5 M, but often have to order 12's. I ordered a pair of 11's in this style and a pair of 12's. I did manage to get my foot into both sizes, however, they were way too tight - even the 12, which didn't really seem any bigger than the 11. And the foot bed was really uncomfy - make of cork or some hard material and the arch support "bump" wasn't in the right spot - it hit near the front of my heel which is why I gave the shoe a poor review on arch support. Returned.

These are very cute and I was so excited to see that Zappos sold them in a wide width since I knew the regular width did not work for me. Unfortunately, they still do not have enough height in the toe box to work for me especially since the insole that comes with the shoe does not have as much metatarsal support as many Naots do. I will need to stick with the Naot Sea from the Shell collection. Though it is a bit clunkier in style, it is immensely more comfortable for me. So .... I have needed to return these.

I wanted to love these shoes - I needed fancy flats for summer, but these were just too tight on my poor bunions. Since there's not leather in that area, I could not foresee it getting any better.

I was looking for a neutral colored shoe for travel. The footbed is comfortable. It has good arch support. The toe box is generous and accommodated my bunions. Unfortunately, my foot and the vamp of the shoe were not a good match as the top of my foot began to rub up again the curved, sewn seam. (I have the same problem with Dansko clogs.)

Overall, this is a very nice shoe. The wide size wasn't super wide, but my foot fit fairly comfortably. This shoe made my foot look narrow, so that was a plus. The left shoe felt great - the cushioning was nice, but not overly cushy, and the lining felt good against my bare foot. The right shoe, however, had one spot where the stitching rubbed. Though I couldn't feel any rough spots on the heel lining, it did rub uncomfortably on my right heel. While the leather on the shoe itself was nice and soft, the straps were a bit stiff, though not completely uncomfortable. Had this been a $75 shoe, I could have overlooked these things, figured out a way to deal with these issues, and would be raving about how great it is. However, since this shoe cost over $180, I expect it to be perfect (not necessarily perfect for MY foot, but perfectly manufactured with no scratchy parts that rub and potentially cause blisters).

I tortured my feet for years in pretty, but very narrow and pointed shoes - now paying for it. I've been searching for a shoe that feels fantastic on my foot and doesn't look orthopedic; finally found it in the Kirei - felt amazing right out of the box. While it's not the most stylish shoe, it doesn't have the "grandma" look I hate in many comfortable shoes. I typically wear a 9.5 with a foot that is 3.75 " wide. Ordered the 41 (10) and regular width. It's just a bit big, but plenty of toe room. Love this shoe!

These shoes are super cute but I have loss of fat pad ball of my foot and there just isn't enough sole on the shoe to absorb shock out in the world. It would make a nice slipper in the house but so expensive for that. Can't keep. Sad. Love Naot and these shoes in particular.

Very comfortable, sturdy and dressy enough. I have them in 2 colors and will buy again. I need to wear knee his with them, and need to be very careful that the Velcro on the strap doesn't rip them when I take the shoes on and off.

I purchased these for my mother who has bunions andhammer toes. She loves this style (she will not get the more orthotic shoes) so I was hoping it might work for her given some of the other reviews. She did like the look and the cushion however, even the wides rubbed her one toe. So back they go.I am so grateful for Zappos generous return policy. Zappos is my go to shoe store!

I kept these cute shoes, but I haven't worn them much. I am size 5 and have a wide toe area, but narrow heel. These shoes fit and do not slide up and down off the back of my heel as many shoes do. They have a funny bump in the middle of the shoe. I've read these shoes will conform to my foot with wearing, so I hope the bump will subside. I'm 4'11'' so like a shoe with some platform and heel of at least an inch. Even though these shoes claim to have those features, they feel very low and flat. If I had to do it again, I would return them. They are comfortable, but so expensive and so flat for me, that I'll never get my money's worth out of them.

Adorable shoe, but runs small. I had to size up to a 12 (normally an 11) and length was fine, toe box nice and roomy - but the shoe dug in terribly to the top of my foot above the toe box area. So disappointed!!!

I love these shoes and have purchased 3 pairs. They are an excellent choice for someone who has bunions as the wide width fits the toe and metatarsal area of the foot exceptionally well. It's also fabulous that they look cute and not clunky or bulky like other wide width shoes. I am thrilled that the insole can be removed so that I can wear them with my own orthodics. My reason for giving them 4 rather than 5 stars is that I wish they had a slightly thicker sole and that more colors were available in the wide with.

Metal Leather/Vintage gray leather is BROWN with GOLD/bronze trim. There's nothing gray about it. Sigh. The fit is pretty good -- slightly wider than some of my other Koru styles. Length in my usual Naot size is fine. Not sure I'll keep any Kireis but I sure wish the colors were more accurately named!

These are absolutely gorgeous shoes. I had a pair of Naots similar to these for years and wore them constantly...so comfortable. These are just too small. I'm returning them and getting a full size larger and the wide width.

Love the arch support on these shoes. They look as pictured. A few drawbacks - the top front of the shoe feels like it might rub, as it comes up so high that on one of my feet it presses in a bit. And, the velcro straps...those are pretty ugly. Mine arrived bent and twisted (brand new shoes, just sat in the warehouse without anything to keep the straps in place, I think - just a bit of paper in the toes). And the velcro is really visible. I'm hoping no one will look closely enough to notice, because of three pairs of higher-end work-appropriate comfort shoes, these were the best, and I'm keeping them despite the imperfections.

Too wide. Shoe would have worked with a medium thick pair of socks. Too warm. The style doesn't inspire me; however I would have worn it had the fit been better.
