Customer Reviews Naot Kedma

Literally took these out of the box, put them on, and boarded a plane for China. I love these shoes! They are a great walking shoe- comfortable footbed with supportive cushioning, moderate arch support, soft leather uppers that did not pinch and did not hurt hammer pinkie toes or bunions. The ONLY complaint is the two tone color- not a big fan. All black would have been much more classic. Still so worth it. Walked all over the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, the Great Wall of China, and Shanghai in them without pain or one blister. Well done Naot. N.B- My foot is on the wider side of normal and I usually have width issues, though not with these.

Don't understand why there are positive reviews for this show. I've had great luck with another style and with sandals by Naot but this shoe is a huge disappointment. Incredibly uncomfortable, even with my orthotics in them. While it says the insole is removable I don't believe they can take a different insole, especially an orthotic. They are incredibly stiff, feeling more like a hard cardboard box than a leather. Returning them.

Love these shoes! I have the jet black leather pair, and they were comfy right out of the box. If you are used to wearing Dansko type shoes, be aware that these have an almond shaped toe box -- make sure to size up if needed for the extra room + they are definitely on the narrow side. The quality seems really good, so hopefully they will last a long time. So comfy! Stylish, too.

First of all, when I read typos on a shoebox that professes to deliver quality, I become concerned. I am not as thrilled with these shoes as I hoped I would be, given the five star review. They seem cheap to me. Anyway, I did my standard walk around the house to see if they needed to be returned and they seemed ok. There is moderate arch support and that was a good thing. Then I wore them to work. I had on mid-weight trouser socks and my right foot ended up with a blister that took forever to heal. Once that cleared up, I tried a different pair of mid-weight socks and ended up with a nasty blister on the left foot. Heavier socks would make them too tight and I fear that thinner socks will cause the shoes to rip apart my Achilles tendon. That said, once I got through this painful trial period, they seemed to fit ok. No more blisters. I have kept them because I needed something and the foot bed is comfortable. However, I still feel they are a little on the cheap side. Would I buy them again? Probably not.

Hammer toes, non-existent arches, a little neuropathy -- you name it, my feet have got it. So I am wildly grateful when I find shoes as comfortable and attractive as these. They have enough space up front to accommodate gnarly toes and they fit my narrow heels snugly. As for looks: well, their beauty is subtle. The diagonal cut at the back of the heel adds a bit of style, the gray saddle lightens the look, the leather is good quality and the allover design is surprisingly sleek. I am delighted that Naot gave these a real heel, not a heavy unit heel; it makes them a bit more elegant, less sporty. They don't look like orthopedic shoes. Arch support is moderate, not aggressive. I have been wearing these several times a week since they arrived and find them more comfortable for city walking than athletic shoes.

Love the style. My only problem with the fit was that there was a fairly large gap in the shoe around the entire back half of my foot. Also, I ordered a couple of different sizes and the beige pieces of leather (on the top of the shoe) were very obviously offset/crooked. When I received them, one of the shoeboxes was ripped apart and there was no cardboard or tissue paper inside at all. Hopefully there won't be a problem with the return.

I love these shoes and have bought them twice now -- after I wore out the first pair. My feet are messed up and I can only wear oxfords, these are comfortable, look sharp, and look good with work clothes. I was also able to put my custom orthotic in it, which is a big consideration when I buy shoes.

I own these shoes and ordered another pair - the new pair has a different toe box that is much narrower and more pointed than the previous pair. I don't like the new toe box design on Naot's shoes - have tried 3 pair and all are too small. Won't be buying any more of them sadly because I really like them.

What you'd expect from Naot: well made, extremely comfortable, on-trend for this fall's "oxford" look. Love the use of different colored leathers. I wear a 10, and the 41 was perfect. Only had to put them on once to know they were just right. Going to enjoy these with everything from jeans, to funky skirt looks. Of course, tailored slacks as well. Have fun with colorful socks!

So happy to have Naot shoes I can wear in the rain. Comfortable, fit perfectly. I got a 40 because 39 was out of stock and they fit great. Maybe the sizing is different or maybe I've been wearing my sandals too small.

This shoe is everything I have been searching for in an oxford. Good looking without being too masculine, lightweight, comfortable, and I ordered my usual size 41, which is a perfect fit. Naot did an outstanding job with the design and beautiful colors of this shoe. I wouldn't change a single detail. I hope they continue making this style, and the loafer as well, so I can purchase more colors. Zappos, please keep the larger sizes in stock in all colors.

I am a true size US 8, so ordered the 39, but had to return them for the 40 as the 39 was just too tight and I didn't want chance that the shoes might eventually stretch out. I'd rather they be a bit big from the beginning, which the 40 is! I bought these shoes for an upcoming business trip as I anticipate only taking 1 pair of shoes for the working part of my trip. I haven't traveled for work in 20 years so am trying to contain everything to a carry-on bag. The red merlot color is beautiful and will go with black, navy, dark grey, and certain shades of camel as well. They will also look equally good with skirts or slacks. They are a bit on the masculine side, but they are oxfords after all and I think they are just fine. They are very comfortable. I wore them straight out of the box today for a test run at work, and they are more comfortable than a lot of my loafers are that are many years old and well worn. I will probably invest in more colors of this shoe and other styles from Naot.

Some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever had out of the box. I could use more aggressive arch support, but no problems with my bunions, corns, and low-volume feet. I like the style as well!

I liked it overall but the toe box was too narrow for my foot

I usually wear a size 39 and this size 39 fit like a glove. The shoes are gorgeous and very comfortable. If I were to change anything it would be the shoelaces. I like mine longer,but that's no where enough to change my opinion about this shoe. I would buy it again!!

The more I look at them and wear them the more I love them. Look better than on the picture

I love the shoe...beautiful oxford for pants. Unfortunately, I had to return because only available in full sizes, i.e. 36, 37 and I need a half size...I really loved them and wish I did not have to return

Just beautiful, comfortable right of the box and oh so classy!! Love them!

Very comfortable. Moderate or more arch support. I needed nice looking flats to wear in the winter and slip-ons never fit me right. These work great.

These have become one of my favorite pairs of shoes. I love the color--a nice soft grey. They're comfortable and I wear them often to work. I am planning on purchasing another pair in blue. Next time I would size down 1/2 a size though. I kept the size 6 I ordered and just put in some foam inserts.

I have been wearing these shoes daily for over two years now, and feel like I owe them a five star review. I work retail, and am generally on my feet for four to six hours a day on concrete floors. These shoes support me but also look so sharp that people still ask me if they are new. I replaced the insoles last fall, so they feel new, too. The cork and leather breath so well that my feet feel cramped and hot in synthetic shoes now. My feet hurt a bit at the end of the day if I am standing for eight hours solid, but I think that would be true in any shoes. I love them, and would by them again, although it looks like I will not need to for another 10 years.

Very cute shoe. I get alternately complimented on them and teased for wearing what look, to the uninformed, like uncomfortable dress shoes. I wore these at 8 mos pregnant to walk around the Dreamforce conference in downtown San Fran, and they really saved my back, hips and feet! My one complaint is that the shoelaces are weirdly short. I am a size 7/37 and have M width feet. The size 37 fit great, although I had to wear them with socks when doing serious walking to avoid getting a blister on my heel (I tried wearing them with thin trouser stockings at first).

I bought these shoes on a whim. I needed some sort of flats for work that have removable insoles (for my orthotics). These were on the pricier side so I wasn't expecting to keep them (just check em out)...but wow, they were so comfortable, so sturdy/well made that I had, and beautiful! I had to keep them. I get compliments every single time I wear them. They are so comfy and I know they will last me a long time. Thank you Zappos and Naot!

The first pair of shoes to fit my square little dutch foot. I had a foot doctor tell me to buy shoes, throw them away and wear the boxes (helpful, right?). Well, I now have a new pair of dancing (and walking) shoes! They look great with slacks and would even look okay with a long skirt. I have my orthotics in them and no pinching or tightness across the ball of my foot (widest part), no toes crashing into the front even though the shoe is a bit pointy toed. No rub on the heel. I'll be buying more! Thanks Zappos! You rock! I usually wear a 7.5 or EU 38. The 39s fit perfectly! Consider a size up if you are in between. (Oh - I have a really high arch too.)
