I needed smart business/suit shoes that could be worn all day on my feet, and be comfortable with a lot of stairs and running around. I wanted a heel as i am relatively short, and the heel needed to be 'fat' as well as stylish . There are a lot of cobblestone walkways and sidewalks where we are that just destroy narrow or spike heels.
These are perfect in every way. I have only had them 1 month so time will tell on how durable they are. but they can't be beat for style and comfort.

Great looking shoe. Wider than most 5&1/2 size shoe. (I have wide feet and it is hard to find comfortable good looking shoes.) This is a beautiful shoe.

These shoes are well padded, soft, and stable. I normally cant't wear heels due to knee injuries, but these shoes don't give me knee pains at all. The only problem is the toe box is tight for my wide feet. Since the leather is so soft, I hope to stretch it out eventually.

This shoes fits great, looks great and is about the best fitting shoe I have ever purchased. I will definitely purchase more NAOT shoes.

Most comfortable shoe that looks great with slacks or a dress. Easy to put on velcro closure under that great bow. The bronze color is great and goes with everything but be careful not to scuff as it is hard to rub out. I can walk all day in these and my legs do not tire. I feel like I am walking on pillows. Highly recommend.

I would love them in every color but for the price. I got them in copper to go with everything and they do.

THESE SHOES LOOK GREAT AND FEEL GREAT ,WOULD BUY MORE.....
Looks great with skirts at any length. I get more compliments on these shoes, and people love the bow. Easy to wear, walk in, and stand. I love them.

I love this shoe. It is great for someone who needs to be on her feet all day, i.e., Chicago to New Delhi run. Forces you to stand correctly so that your spine is aligned. When you work on an airplane you tend to stand on the front half of your foot due to the constant change in attitude of the airplane and the fact that there are more nerve endings in the front of your feet. My feet no longer hurt at the end of this long trip. The first time i put this shoe on i felt a great change in my posture. I have been a Dansko shoe wearer for a long time (i own six pair) but i will now purchase the Naot shoes instead.

I typically wear more conservative brands, ( eg, stuart weitzman; ferragamo, bruno magli) and just started experimenting with more comfortable support type shoes.
Of my latest similar "comfort" selections (eg. Danske, Echo)I like this shoe best. Its more attractive and very comfortable. I use it for work and casual wear. It is conservative enough to wear with more casual suits. Its great for days when I have lots of walking.
from Enid, OK on 11/14/2007
These are incredibly comfortable, but I found them too "clunky-looking" to wear with skirts even though they're called a pump. Great with dress pants or to dress up jeans. It gives you nice height but is comfortable to wear for hours on end. The copper color is a great neutral, goes with black or brown.

Because of Naot's awesome insoles and arch support, they're the only brand for which I don't need to use my orthotics, and I adore them. I live in the Ashley, Remini, and Paris all spring and summer.
Unfortunately, the closed-toe shoes haven't been nearly as chic -- in fact, except for Vienna and Palermo, I don't think there are any closed shoes based on the nice mid-height form that still keeps your feet stable. I was so excited to see these, and the new boots built on the same form, because they are such comparatively stylish shoes. Unfortunately, because they are so high, folks with bunions and other orthopedic front-of-foot problems may not be able to wear them since there's just too much downward pressure on the front of the foot.
This is not Naot's fault, there's nothing they could do about my feet problems, but I sure wish they'd make some chicer looking shoes on the mid-height form, since that's the highest heel I've been able to wear since my feet started falling and apart, and man, I miss cute shoes.
In sum, if you have bunions or use Naot because you don't need arch-support orthotics with the brand, this shoe probably won't work for you. But, they are exceptionally stable and easy to walk in, and look like old-fashioned character shoes, and they'd be great for anyone without my stupid problems.

from Washington, DC on 9/22/2007
I am very attached to my NAOT sandals, and am now thrilled to have a NAOT fall shoe with a 2.5 inch heel. NAOT Pleasure is definitely a keeper. I found these a little big in the heel, but heel inserts helped. They are not quite as supportive as the NAOT Sublime, but I slipped out of Sublime even more than Pleasure and heel inserts didn't help (the next smaller size was too tight in the top, and still had heel slippage). So I decided on the Pleasure. They aren't as sleek as skinny heels, but will look really nice with a skirt and tights for the fall. The copper is a nice shade - perfectly matches my chocolate brown socks and pants.
