I purchased these shoes for a trip to Europe so I am being uber picky on comfort here. I'd like to walk miles without any discomfort. While these shoes would be fine for someone not so picky or for so much walking, I'll be returning them. Strap that goes over the top of the foot is uncomfortable, a little sharp, scratchy and no matter how much I loosen it, it bothers me. Pros: super cute and overall quite comfortable. Cons: Strap discomfort is a deal killer for me.

Although Naot states this shoe runs large, all of the reviews I saw said it runs true to size. However, I had to order a size larger than my usual. I find the suede footbed to be a little rough (when not wearing tights) and got some blisters the first day. I agree with one reviewer's suggestion of putting peds over the footbed. I'm quite happy with these shoes now (although not crazy about the shiny leather accents on the straps and across the base of the toes) so I guess I'd say to be careful when considering the size.

I got these shoes in July 2012 at a shoe store. I am not thrilled with Mary Jane style, but I told the sales person to bring me the best shoe for walking. I was going to Brussels and Paris in August and I have a lot of foot, knee, and hip pain. I had tried a number of shoes from Walking Cradle, but they left my feet tired and achy while in Vegas in June. She brought me these. My feet sang the second I put them on. I then wore them all the time everywhere and all over Paris! I am not much into fashion, so I did not care if they did not match my outfit. I put them on as soon as I get up until I go to bed. The weekend after Christmas, I was in Chicago and a tear developed in my beloved shoe. I tried emailing Naot, but only got the distributor. I can't take the pain any longer. My feet and knee and hips are barking. I just got online and made the expensive plunge again. These a so worth the money if you have foot pains. Just buy them, stop looking around or wasting money on other shoes. Also, get them from Zappos - I paid more at the shoe store the first time around. Oh, and I have narrow feet. I typically buy 7.5 narrow shoes. I got the 38 (7) in these and they fit amazingly!

Beautiful shoe, but the arch support is so supportive that my custom orthotics do not fit properly in the shoe. Roomy toe box, cute styling, but can't use the shoe. Otherwise, it would have 5 stars!

I loved the look of these shoes and they were well-constructed. The problem was that they were too narrow so my feet felt constricted. I was disappointed that I had to return them because they are lovely shoes.

The shoe looks great and made me feel like I was walking on clouds. Aside from one big problem with the fit. The top of the shoe fits too tightly around my big toe knuckle (for lack of a better term). As soon as I tried them on, the shoes were digging into this bony area on the top of each foot, leaving red marks of skin irritation. If you've had this problem with other Mary Jane style shoes, you might have problems with the Naot Kirei. I am so sad, especially as the larger size is not available in either of the colors I like! These shoes are a dream otherwise. Supportive with style!

These are super comfortable shoes. Great support! Contrary to what people have been saying, I felt that these ran true to size. I wear a 6 1/2 or 37. I first bought the 36 because of what I had read and had to exchange them for the 37.

I work in retail and i\'m on my feet about 10 hours a day. Naot is the only brand of shoes that I can work all day and my feet don\'t hurt. When I saw the Kirei I knew they would be perfect as casual and somewhat dressy. They needed some break in time, but once I got pass that they were fine. They run true to size. I have gotten many compliments when I wear them. Another winner from Naot.

Very comfortable. These shoes I'm returning even though they are very comfortable because I'm looking for shoes that are a bit more trendy looking. However, the shoe fits very well, and is extremely comfortable to wear. I ordered the peacock purple; the fabric texture is interesting with a rough and high-tech feel. I wonder how it would wear over time?

Right foot was tight.....the straps were quite flimsy...black paton leather seemed to be poor quality...especially considering the price of these shoes. I have several pairs of Naot....disappointed in these.

LOVE the shoes however, I had to buy a size up to have them fit and they are too big. I wear them in winter so I put wool liners in to keep warm without socks and they fit better but not ideal.

I wear between a 9 & 9-1/2 and the length of the 9’s on the Naot Kirei shoes fit me okay; however, without considering myself to have a wide foot, the regular (M) width on these was much, much too narrow and squished my toes together. They were also tight across the top of the front of my foot… All of these aberrations in sizing lead me to believe they would not, eventually, become any better a fit, over time - they were much too petite for a normal, healthy foot, in my opinion. I loved the red combo color but, sadly, they are going back and the search continues.

i already have 3 pairs of this shoe in different colors. it is a great shoe for my foot. But this shoe is at least 1/2 size smaller than the same size i purchased several yrs ago . The sole of my navy pair had chipped off and i wanted to replace them but decided to go with the gray. Also the suede at the toes had been scuffed and a little on the back sides, too. I would like to replace but am undecided about size to order. I will return these I received today

These fit ok, however, they are very light weight and didn’t seem worth the price. I returned them and got David Tate instead, very happy with those

I really wanted to love these cute Mary Janes. The suede is very pretty and the footbed is soft and comfortable (and removable for custom orthotics). However, the wide width still seemed very narrow - especially around the bunion area which is why I buy wide width in the first place. Super cute, just didn't fit my wide foot.

I almost kept these out of a set of 4 maryjane velcro straps that I tried from Zappos. But in the end I sent them back along with the other three. Here's why:
While they were initially the most comfortable (compared to Clarks unhaven strap, Birkenstock Iona, and Naot Ta Dah), after I sat with them on my feet for a bit, I realized the front part cuts into the top of my foot.
Plus they squeak when you walk on bare wood.
And I didn't really like the style/curved toe-box. They are too smurfy looking to my taste.

I'm disappointed to be returning these shoes. I know people who love them and I was hoping to join their ranks. Unfortunately my "big" toe is not my biggest toe, and the shape of the shoe doesn't work for my foot. Trying a larger size isn't an option since I wear a size 12.

I really wanted to love this item based on all the reviews. It is cute, and for the most part, comfortable. The only problem is that it does not have a rounded front - it is cut at a pretty severe angle. This would work well for ladies who's big toe is their longest toe with all others shorter, but on me, all the other toes are scrunched up. So I'd say it runs 'short'.

Several reviewers mentioned this shoe ran large but I disagree. I ordered a 'typical' 40, which has always worked for me as a size 9-9.5, thinking this would work if it ran large. It was very small (short). Plus, I really didn't like it. I have a fairly narrow foot and am having real difficulty finding a shoe that doesn't gap in the forefoot and that is too loose in the heel. Sadly almost everything cute is a 'medium' width these days.

Why the hard edge of the velcro directly over the foot! Ouch! They ruined the shoe with this one simple mistake. Otherwise a quality shoe with removable sole for your orthotic. The toe box shape is a little odd. Orthoheel beat them out on comfort and style for me.

Best shoe ever, but not in copper color. My sister, my daughter, and I all own this fabulous shoe in black and we all have very different foot issues. The suede foot bed with cork and rubber sole give bounce and support all day. But, I have ordered the copper color version of this shoe three times now with no keepers. The construction is not up to par with price. Puckering where toe meets sole, one shoe sewn differently than the other, etc. Distressed look of leather should not equate to distressed construction. Stick with black, it's perfection!

I like the fit of this shoe. First pair had a squeak in one shoe that I attempted to fix. No luck. Exchanged them for another pair - same issue, so will be returning

I like the fit and arch support. A bit more cushion on the foot bed would be nice. However, I have a squeak in one shoe that developed after a few days of wear. I got them just before a trip, so out of necessity have worn them several weeks, so no return. Disappointed in the quality.
