Customer Reviews Naot Harore

Comfy right out of the box. Excellent arch support, stylish. I have 6 pairs of Naot shoes now - they are the best! Made in Israel, not China.

Comfortable and stylish, these shoes are getting a lot of attention. The fit is true to the Naot Koru footbed. My foot is low volume, with a medium ball and very narrow heel and these fit perfectly. They are very sturdy, and cut low enough not to dig into my ankle bone. Prepare to spend a day on your feet with no stress!

I love the comfort of this shoe. I like the "saddle shoe" design. But I wear 8 1/2, so the 8 is too small and the 9 is too big...must return. Also the back of the shoe fits fine without socks, but with socks the shoe rubs up and down when I walk. I am a clogs wearer most of the time, so that may be why the back of a "whole" shoe is uncomfortable for me.

I ordered these at the last minute for a trip to Europe where I knew I'd do a lot of walking, after realizing how worn down my old walking shoes were. Naot is my brand of choice in terms of comfort, support and quality, so I figured this choice was a good bet, but you never knows how shoes will actually fit and feel until you try them on. These turned out to be a great choice! They fit well with medium or light weight stockings, with adjustment possible because of the laces. They are light weight but with great support. I put them on, walked for miles and miles, and felt not one twinge of foot discomfort on the whole trip.I almost did feel like I was walking on air. I'm grateful that I took a chance and ordered these shoes. I'm sure they'll serve me well for many walks and trips to come. In terms of style, I think these are as good as it gets in a walking shoe. And as usual, the Zappos service was fantastic.

I just received these in the gray/silver color. I love them! They're the same footbed as the other Koru models -- most of which are too wide for me, but with the lace up style, I can pull them close and get them as snug as I want. They're comfy for walking, with the usual excellent arch support. Great padding at the heel, and the heel is narrow enough for my narrow to medium feet Altogether perfect for a saddle shoe style walking shoe. Not glamorous, but instantly comfortable, and quite cool! I'll wear them when I travel with slacks/jeans.

Had hoped this would fit because room for toes and arch support are great. However, not tall enough across the bottom of laces area for my arch. Sorry to have to return. Think I must have too high an arch for this design.

Love these shoes! Comfy, good support, attractive and look great with pants. I like Naot, but not all of styles give me enough lateral support. I have a lot of balance issues and these work very well for me. I use my own orthotics, so I have no idea about the arch support.

Love these shoes! I purchased in both the black and grey to compare colors and I'm going to keep the black - the grey was just too shiny for me and made my feet look fat. My feet feel like they are walking on little pillows when I have these shoes on. They might not be the most fashionable oxfords, but the comfort definitely makes up for it and they are cuter in person than online.

This is my second pair of Naot shoes, and I am just as pleased with this pair as the first. No breaking-in needed. I wear an 8, and the 38 was perfect. Long enough to accommodate the long second toes, wide enough to allow the bunion spacer, lace-ups so I can vary thick or thin socks. No need for the orthotics! No blisters, no foot fatigue. The saddle shoe style is clever and classy. I'm afraid I'm not going to be satisfied with other shoes again.

Was referred to this brand of shoes from Podiatrist, they work great for arch support, comfortable. I have a narrow heal and was worried it would be too big, not the case fit great on heel but wider in the toes, I have Mortons Nueroma so the width worked great.

Wonderful shoe- great for long walks, tours, or just around town. I have an old pair in solid black that I've been wearing for at least 8 years. They've taken me all over Europe. I've just about worn them out. This pair is almost as comfortable ( I think when I've broken them in more they'll be perfect) and the color goes with almost everything. If they ever do another solid black, I'll buy them too. Well worth the money!

We have not 1 but 2 winners with this, my 3rd order in my attempt to find a closed toe Oxford style shoe. The Naot "Harore" Medium Width in the multi hued brown / bronze tones is a 39...often my usual size...and I also ordered the Harore in black, but a size 40, so I could see which fit better. My fave color is the brown tones and it fits well...but so does the black pair in size 40...very slight difference, no slip on my narrow heels while wearing a mid-compression trouser style knee high sock, or with no sock. Amazing. I'm keeping both pair because Naot's footbed is also a good fit for my flat feet that pronate. When younger, I wore AA and AAA, but now need a B with a narrow heel...hard to find that fit. My Orthaheel inserts don't fit the shoe as well as the Naot footbed which is a tad thicker. They are lightweight, so I'm planning to take both pair on upcoming mid-May trip overseas, hoping to wear them in place of colorful sneakers...which I will also take for off-road walking on a couple tours...a pair of dressy Orthaheel-Vionic sandals & the Munro American shoes I also ordered earlier from Zappos. Thank you Zappos for your patience while I tried to get the best fit.

Most comfortable shoe ever for my problematic feet. The combination of great support,bouncy cushioning and a roomy toe box makes them better for long walks than any of my Big Name athletic shoes. Beautiful they are not, but they are at least inconspicuous with pants and skirts. I wish they ran a tiny big longer; I ordered the largest size and my big toe touches the tip when I wear anything heavier than thin dress socks or tights.

Found it! While searching for cute-not granny shoes to shop and walk all over New York City I looked for a Naot. I was skeptical that this would not fit in with my wardrobe mainly due to the tread and heel. I absolutely love these little shoes. Its texture and little bit of twinkle on the trim bring it to the next level of "hey look at me" while allowing me all day comfort. It is a hit! Good find!

I ordered this shoe in gray size 34 and bronze 36. I usually wear a 5, have a wide foot with short square toes, and the 34 fit best. Also, I really like the gray. It is lighter than bronze, and I wouldn't wear it with black. But it looks cute with jeans and really great with gray pants. I also plan to wear it with gray tights and skirts. I don't find it too "shiny", as another reviewer said, though the bronze may be more rustic and low key. I think they are funky cool. Super comfortable. I have high arches and I feel the support. The footbed is very cushy and substantial. Great shoe!

Total comfort from first wear. This is my second pair...when the shoe fits, buy every color. This shoe has a bit more refined look that can go with many different outfits. Will be back for the third color soon...

These shoes are gorgeous. The styling is European and smart. I have narrow feet and they are perfect. I have a pair of Naot sandals in an 8, and these are a 9. I have nerve damage in my foot and my sandals are the only shoes I can wear without foot pain. So I had to have a pair for winter. They came quickly after ordering them and when I tried them on they fit like a glove. It's still summer but I'm at the hospital every day where it's freezing so I'll wear them with my jeans. I don't know if they're still made in Israel, but my first pair of Naot's 20 years ago were made there.

These didn't work for me because my feet swell and make any oxford problematic, but I just want to take a moment to say these are super cute. They look like an oxford but seem like they would have the comfort of a sneaker. They are not clunky at all. Super cute. So sorry they didn't work for me. (I don't really know if they are comfortable, but the system would not let me send this without that so I defaulted to five stars because all I wear is Naots, they are so comfy, so worth the money!)

I wear Naots almost exclusively and have several pairs with this footbed, but this style was a little short for me. I tried to order the next size up, but wasn't fast enough as they're now sold out in both colors. Really cute though, and I'd buy grey and black if they fit. I wish they came in brown!

This shoe is remarkably weird-looking in person. The middle part of the upper is a shiny metallic material which you can't really tell from the photo. Also, the leather is distressed in the toe area which makes it look worn-out while still brand new.

I ordered this shoe size 41 or 10 US I usually wear 9½. I love the style, but it is too short. I do not do well with European shoes.

Really wanted to like these, but they were slightly wide for my foot and the thin laces were not enough to tighten to the degree I needed.

First the good stuff, nice arch. BUT this is the ugliest shoe I've ever seen! Well, maybe not THE ugliest, but close. Even the little shiny trim on the toe does not redeem this shoe. It might be nicer looking in the brown tones. I dunno. I wish I'd paid better attention to the photos and the shape of the toe; it *might* work if you have a prominent big toe and the remaining 4 are very slanty but I don't. Also my foot rolls to the outside a bit and this shape toe accentuates that. It also runs narrow. I wear a medium/B width every day of the year. I could hardly get it on or get it laced. Next, the sole feels very thin. Thank goodness for Zappos and their generousity in letting me return these. Hooray for Zappos. I buy at least 99% of my shoes here. But I would not wear these shoes if they were given to me, much less $190.00! signed, Disappointed

This would have been my 6th pair of Naots but I am not satisfied with the fit, appearance...they don't look like shoes that would cost this much...and don't fit like previous ones I have bought.
