I have been wearing this style for years. Ordered a new pair today and they are shorter by about a half size. Hoping the next size up will not be too big. I don't have to wear my inserts with these shoes, there is excellent arch support. I have a high instep as well and these do not bother me.

Good support, somewhat dressy style. Wide enough for my wide feet but not too wide in the heel.

I ended up taking a 41 in this shoe, which is what I usually wear in Naot shoes. They were comfortable right out of the box. My only concern is that I can feel the velcro along the edges of the straps rubbing the tops of my feet a bit... I hope this doesn't cause any irritation after a long day of wear.

New stock doesn't run large? I ordered as recommended ( a size smaller) it was way too small. I ordered my normal size - I have other shoes in the European size - and the shoe was still too small! This shoe looks great, well made, I'd love it to fit. Right now I have to wait for Zappos to process two returns before I can try and find black Mary Janes that fit as well as my beloved discontinued Keens.

This is a good shoe, supportive, easy on my joints and feet. I’m still getting used to the Velcro strap and how tight or loose it needs to be for best comfort, but the shoe does NOT slide off.

I kept this shoe in 36 because I liked the Polar Sea blue color very much. (The Rongo in 35 was my favorite but was too short.) The style is nice, and the various textures add interest. I wore them around the house for several hours but did not find them all that comfortable. The arch support was a bit high for my flat feet, and the leather is stiff and somewhat unforgiving. I put in inserts to adjust the velcro strap. I think they will be okay for short walks, like restaurant and theater. However, I would not be able to wear them for all-day walking.

Very cute shoes. For those looking for excellent arch support, they're great. I need to use an orthotic, but because of the arch support, it didn't fit. I also found them a little narrow, and I don't have wide feet. I would keep them, but for the pricey amount, am going to return them.

Archidipedico Scala are a great alternative, but don't come in a variety of colors.

As instructed I ordered one size smaller than I wear in Naot and it was too short. I will return and order the next larger size. Very cute shoe.

Very cute, but a little too fall and orthopedic looking. They feel like a dream (so I'm keeping them) but they look ridiculous with any socks, so they are a hot shoe to wear on a summer's day. I was hoping to wear these on some upcoming travel, but I can't imagine wearing these to a nice restaurant.

These shoes are great for people without problematic arthritic toe (right big toe). My left foot felt so good while the right foot was a bit tight on the great toe. The shoes look great. Too bad I had to return. Bought these shoes because of the overall reviews of 5 stars. Will keep on looking for good quality and comfortable walking shoes.

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?

The shoes are too wide. My order was for the size 41 Medium but the box they came in says Kirei Wide size 41. They don't fit like my normal size 41 Naot Kirei shoes do. I've ordered them for years in this size.

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.
