As a hairdresser I am always looking for comfort & stylish shoe to wear for my long days behind my chair. This wonderful crafted shoe from NAOT combines these two qualities. I receive endless complements from my clients and strangers alike. Not often the case for my hard to please feet, these shoes were comfortable straight out of the box. So cozy in fact that I purchased a second pair in a different color! Love these shoes!

My feet hurt! I am looking for comfort as well as style, which drew my to this shoe. It is like walking on a cushion and has plenty of arch support. It was a little bit tight across the high toe area until broken in, but is perfect for everyday comfort. I wear them to work and will definitely wear them while traveling.

These Mary Jane Naots are worn for casual, and work. They are versital, and as a nurse on my feet 12 hrs I get the support I need. The Naot brand has always had the best fit for my foot, and styles for my needs, and because they last forever are cost wise.

I have had one total knee replacement and need the other one done. A friend of mine told me about Naot shoes. I have not worn any other brand since I purchased them. I am a hospital volunteer, a 'young" grandmother, a gardner and have a very active life. I am no longer in pain all the time and can wear them all day!

The back of this shoe is very soft and it doesn't work for me as I need motion control. I found the shoe offered a comfortable footbed, but not the support I needed. Also, I found it to be kind of clunky and silly looking....not the kind of all purpose, supportive, good-looking walking shoe that I was hoping for. It's more like bedrooms lippers.

I was so hoping that these would be the only shoes I was going to need for an upcoming trip to Europe. I have been wearing them for the last few days and have yet to be totally satisfied with them. I cannot imagine walking great distances in them. For as much as these shoes cost, they should offer a better fit.

I used to wear shoes with heels until I was lucky enough to be diagnosed with Plantars Faciitis. I have been trying on shoes for over 4 months and finally came across this shoe. It has great support and cushion for my heel. I have to wear business attire at work, which is mostly pant suits now, but these shoes do not look completely out of place. I have even received compliments on them. Most comfortable shoe I have been able to find and my feet no longer ache!!!!

I just love to look at these shoes. From the top to the bottom they are just adorable & made very, very well. For the comfort test, I wore these 2 days in a row without socks on my daily 4 mile walk ( I walk at a very fast pace) & then cleaned house etc. in them all day. The only problem I have with them is the strap is somewhat uncomfortable. I did get a small blister on the top of one foot close to where the metal part hits my foot on the strap. I think I can figure out some type of a fix for this. I can probably attach a small bandaid to the underside of the strap if it continues to be a problem. After all, I don't think they are supposed to perform like an athletic shoe but they were just as comfortable. I'm so gald I found these shoes. Now I have a great looking shoes that I can shop in, travel in, & being on my feet all day long will not be a problem.

I'm between a 39 and 40 but this model worked great in 39. Despite it being listed as for narrow feet, my 9 C feet feel great in these. I keep choosing them to wear since they feel like slippers!

At 58, my feet are healthy but sensitive. I practically live in Naot
Matai around the house. But for walking, the front edge of the shoe
causes pressure on my foot. The single strap allows too much
movement.

I can not praise Naot shoes highly enough. I had begun to fear
I would not find a shoe that my feet could tolerate. Naot Kumara, with ties and Kaikura, more enclosed with more straps, are going to Italy with me.

Online Shoes has been patient and kind with my struggles
to find a shoe that works. I didn't give up and Onlines Shoes
didn't give up on me.

This shoe was my main walking shoe while in Paris...and it easily and comfortably served as my evening shoe after walking/touring in it all day. I have Plantar Fascitis and it is one of very few shoes that have the arch and heel support that allows me to walk without discomfort. Now I want them in other colors!!!

I recently returned from a trip to Paris, which included an extreme amount of walking and stair climbing. These shoes were so comfortable, even by the end of the day. Like wearing bedroom slippers with stability! I purchased the color Bronze which seemed to go with everything and the style is so versatile - casual enough to wear with jeans and dressy enough to look great with skirts and dresses. An added bonus is the adjustable strap that allowed my feet a little extra comfort on the long flights. I could have left all of my other shoes at home!

The shoes are eye-catchers and feet pleasers. I have the apricot ones and the green ones and would definitely buy them again. I splashed diet soda on one of them and thought that was the end of their clean look. I wiped off the shoe, and it air dried with no spots at all!

Bought these while I was on vacation and wore them almost everyday. NEVER had a problem with blisters or anything else. I found the European sizing very accurate, but I don't have trouble with that in other brands either.
I'm just waiting until another color goes on sale, and then I'll snap it up!

I had originally ordered this shoe in a size 5.5 US. I rec'd a 6. Since I wear a small size, I find shopping for shoes discouraging. I love the look of these and was so happy to find my size. I wore them around the house for a day to see if the larger size would work. It does if I wear socks with them, but I feel the same sense of discouragement about these that I feel when buying shoes retail. [...]
