I am cringing over not giving the great NAOT brand a 5 stars. This really are cute. When you first see them they look like men's shoes but once you put them on they look really classy and not at all clunky or manlike. The contrasting color and nice wooden heel are what make it so stylish. I liked the colors. I'm so disappointed. First I put them on and they felt tight so I walked around and they seemed to be loosening up so I thought maybe my feet are messed up from all these years of no support. I gave it 15 minutes even with removing my socks but in the end it was too snug and when I took it off my feet felt like they were probably falling asleep. The support is great. Even though the back part of the shoe is low (or at least it felt that way to me maybe because I've been wearing boots and shoes with high back for awhile now), the support is really good and holds your foot in place so no slipping. I won't give up on NAOT. I've owned many pairs but stopped buying them because I couldn't afford them.I love this shoe. This is my second pair!These are well made and worth the price. I work in food service. I needed shoes that are non-slip and look professional. These support my collapsing arches and my feet feel good wearing these shoes. I’m very happy I invested in these shoes.I have narrow feet and in the US I wear size 7.5-8. Bought a 38 M-UE and have no troubles.As I put them on the very first time, I felt a comforting feeling. This shoes have a good snuggle support. Unfortunately, after the very first day of wear the back of my right foot was sore, which is somehow expected of new shoes. I left them with a shoe stretcher for a week. Since then, its been a pleasure to walk on this shoes.I've polished the shoes with tan wax on main light brown areas. I haven't waxed the other two colors of this shoe. Colors make it easy to match any clothing giving a dandyish style.Shoelaces have been staying tight throughout the day. Yet, I've been thinking of changing them as they are a little rough. I'd prefer something bit more feminine.This are my first Naot, and I had them for a couple of months.I have 12 pair of Naot. My shoes of choice! At this time in my life I chose for comfort and these are stylish and last a decade!I love these shoes! I am a big Naot fan and have several Naot shoes in my closet. I have fallen arches, and I find that Naot shoes give me good arch support. These shoes are no different, and they are so attractive! I wear them mainly to work with black or gray pants. One thing to be aware of - the gray part is much lighter than in the picture. These have become my favorite everyday work shoes. I would definitely purchase them again. Although they tie, I am able to slip them on and off again (wearing thin trouser socks) without untying and retying them. The ties stay tied for days or even weeks. I love Naot's casual, earthy/Bohemian look for weekends, but I hope Naot continues to make more classic, professional looking shoes like these.Naot is one of the very few brands I can wear that don't hurt my feet. I have bought these shoes in many styles and colors over the years. I work in retail and can be on my feet 8 to 10 hours a day and I do fine! I have very bad feet due to broken ankles I had many years ago and am prone to plantars fasciitis. As long as I wear this brand, I have not had the plantars fasciitis reoccur. One thing I love about this brand is most of their shoes have replaceable cork insoles. I have even bought the insoles to put in other shoes that are not the Naot brand for excellent comfort.Great comfort. Good art support. My feet are hard to fit in these are very comfortable.Lots of comfort shoes are pretty ugly. But these are very classic and good looking.nice shoe but too narrow in the front
