after trying on 30+ pairs of shoes I found these Naots. These are so comfortable I bought a second pair in another color. I have a lot of foot problems and have a very hard time finding comfortable shoes. these were expensive but worth every penny.

This is my second pair of Naot's Kirei shoes. I absolutely love them! They fit my size 8 perfectly right out of the box. They are the only closed-in shoes that don't give me blisters. Very comfortable and worth the price.

This is the third pair of Naot Kirei shoes that I have worn. The length, width and arch support make my feet so happy! I can wear them comfortably all day.

HOORAY!!!! These shoes do not pinch, rub, or hurt
HOORAY!!! These shoes do not rub, pinch or hurt. I ordered size 40Wide first but they were quite small. These 41Wide fit perfectly. I am sooo grateful to find these after trying on many pairs of shoes. I am looking at the other colors in this style for my next pair of shoes. THANK YOU ZAPPOS FOR YOUR PATIENCE WITH MY MANY ORDERS AND RETURNS.

Love, love the style of this shoe and the comfort. I ordered my usual size 39, and while my foot fits, there is no room for a sock. I tried a thin sock with it and could barely get my foot it. I need these shoes for my vacation, and I know I will be doing a lot of walking. I will try a bigger size and see how it goes.

This is my third pair. My feet were so bad that when getting out of bed in the morning I literally could not walk. I wear these shoes almost exclusively. I bought some insoles for my slippers so that I can wear them without issues. I still wear the old ones for gardening and walking the dog. I love some 3 3/4” heels I have from Rockport. I am able to wear them for short stints w/o pain—thanks to these Mary Janes! I would love to visit Naot and see them in action making a pair of these shoes and hug the people involved making my shoes!

This is my fifth pair of these shoes in different colors. I love them and live in them. This pair which says the color is violet is actually more of a burgundy
which is what I wanted as I have a brand new leather handbag in that color. These shoes last forever, are very comfortable ,and have great support. I am a senior lady and when I find a shoe that is comfy, I am delighted. These are pricey but worth the comfort. I have hammer toes and very high arches and these work for me..

These are the most comfortable shoes in the world! The last pair, which walked all over Europe (including the cobblestones of Pompeii) lasted 20 years before they gave up. Worth every penny paid! I have problem feet-bunion and pronation-and they are the only shoes I own which do not hurt anywhere. Cute and comfortable. Highly recommend them.

These are my favorite shoes! I have bunions and finding stylish shoes that feel comfortable is very difficult for me. But Naot Kirei in wide is perfect. I can walk long distances in them, they were comfortable out if the box, and I love the way they look. Highly recommend!

I was certain they would be too small when I looked at them, but they were perfect. Very stylish too.

Naot seems to be getting inconsistent in its sizing. I've worn Naot shoes for ages, and the Kirei for about 5-6 years. My US size is 8.5, sneaker 9-9.5, depending on brand. The 39 in Kirei fit a little tight on my larger foot, but in the past, shoe and larger foot accommodated each other. My feet are sort of narrow, and the size 40 would have been way too wide in size 40. I decided to try the size 40 in this pair of Kirei because the larger foot has developed a few discomfort "issues". A pair I ordered about 4-6 months ago (40) was way too wide and long - -sent those back. Took a chance on this new pair, and it feels almost the same size as my old 39's. I'm keeping them as I needed a very small amount of extra space. Within a 6 month period I have noticed considerable difference in sizing between the same size and the same Naot styles. My suggestion is order up a size and see how it goes. Otherwise, the shoe is still, for me, one of the nicest all around styles Naot makes. It can be a little dressed up or completely casual - I have the grey sterling suede and it's well made -- good quality shoe despite sizing inconsistencies.

Reason for I chose the Kirei, I'm up on my feet working as a flight attendant and wanted COMFORTABLE and possibly fashionable walking shoes for my european layovers where I normally walk 9 miles in a day and taking New York transit from my place to the airport which takes about 8 blocks of walking.
This shoe felt like walking on a cloud. I looked forward to wearing this shoe. My feet are wider near the toes resulting in horrible calluses on both sides of my feet for regular shoes and I loved the toe area of this shoe.
The reasons I returned the Kirei were because of the steep price and the mary jane velcro all the way across the top of your foot vs just the end portion. Velcro is horrible if you wear panty hose.
I compared this shoe to the Vionic Serenity and Dansko Fawna, ended up going with Dansko because they were cheaper and what I needed.
I loved trying these shoes out and I don't think I'll ever get over how comfortable these shoes were. I am now sold on how comfortable they are and am looking for a more affordable pair of shoes from Naot to wear on my layovers.

I have dozens of Naot shoes, all cork/latex sole, polyurethane outsole styles have excellent arch support. The Kirei style which has the Koru insoles are very comfortable, with arch support, cushion, all around comfort. The Koru insoles can also be replaced which is a nice addition to a closed toe shoe that holds up well.
This is the first pair of Kirei and I will be buying another since they help my problem feet. There is no break in period.
I wear a 7-7 1/2 M and the 39 fits perfect.

I ordered a size 35 (4) Wide in the linen/champagne color and they fit perfectly. I usually wear a size 5 or 5 1/2 but these shoes run large so I ordered down a size. Their insole didn't work for me because I use arch supports but I substituted a pair of my own insoles and voila! the shoes fit like a dream. These shoes are beautifully crafted with gorgeous leather. They look great with both casual and dressy outfits. I'm so happy I found these shoes!

I have custom orthotics for Naot. I know my size and the type of shoe, so the fit is perfect.

Naot Kieri is my go to comfort shoe. I can walk all day without knee, hip or back issues. It is the only shoe that I now wear for everyday and travel. For travel it is extremely comfortable without have to wear an athletic shoe. I have several colors of this style (Linen is my favorite). I like the wide toe box (works for my one bunion). I just wish they could come up with something else other than a Velcro strap. It catches in nylons or other dress socks when wearing them.

Nice shoes. Wish they had worked for me. They were too loose in the heel, even when I tightened the strap as much as possible. Also the front edge rubbed on my bunion. I usually find Naot shoes really comfortable and I like this style. Too bad.

At first, I was disappointed because the strap across the top was not long enough. I was too lazy to return them even when Zappos makes it so easy. Eventually. I started wearing them. Within 2 days, they were perfect--molded to my feet and the strap is now perfect. They are one of my favorite pairs of shoes--certainly the most comfortable. I wear them several times per week.

I love these shoes!! I sized down as the reviews suggested and found that the shoe was way too small. So, I exchanged for my normal size and they fit very well. I’ve worn them with a thin sock and also with nylons, both are comfortable. My previous Mary Jane’s were danskos and I found them to be too clunky to wear with a skirt, the Naot’s look great with a skirt. I’m on my feet all day and these shoes are great. I highly recommend.

These are great... once you find the right pair. I tried six pairs before deciding on the second pair of burnt copper that I had ordered. The first pair I tried seemed like it had been worn for quite awhile-- the strap was stretched out, and the insole worn. I also tried the champagne, two pairs of the blue suede (the first had a very uncomfortable buckle), and the brown leather. I really wanted the blue suede, but I just couldn't get the patent leather strap and sides to soften up; I tried lots of massaging, but the strap still rubbed in a way that I know would've caused blisters. The brown leather was very comfortable, but the lighter colored toes looked kind of strange. The brown suede ended up being both comfortable and attractive. I've worn them all day with several miles of walking in the heat, and no blisters! I tried pretty much every other comparable model Zappo's offers (Dansko, Clarks, Taos, Keen), and the Naot Kirei was by far the most comfortable; and it's a bonus that they're cute and dressy enough to wear to work!
