This is a nice style shoe for summer, however it was too narrow for me even though it was ordered in a wide width.The leather over the toe bed is a little too restrictive - I think I’ll have to take them to a shoe shop to get them stretched. I have high arches. I had planned to wear them on a walking trip when I ordered (they matched one of my favorite purses) but I can’t risk using for that purpose now.These are the most comfortable shoes I have found since my bunion surgery 8 months ago. First of all, the color is not white at all, it's more like mushroom/pale pale gold. They are very pretty in person. There is a bit of a problem with the sizing though. I usually wear a 10 in any type of shoe and they are a bit big on me. However, when I ordered the 41 (10) in brass they were very tight. I exchanged for a pair of 42 (11) in the quartz and they still fit a bit tight across the toes. I sadly returned those, they are too expensive to not fit perfectly. I then saw another pair in quartz on sale for $98 on Amazon so I decided to try again because I really loved the look of the shoe and could tell it would be comfortable if it fit, I have seen many reviews of this shoe saying there was a sizing problem.. This pair of size 42's fit perfectly. They definitely run small, I never buy a size 42. I think it's just sheer luck these are a bit bigger than the other pair. I have other pairs of Naot that size 41 fits perfectly. Anyway I am so happy I have a pair that fits!!They come in European sizes but had to order size 8 I know I need 40 but it wasn’t an optionI wear a size 40 Schmal in Birkenstocks Flroida and Arizona, and a 41 in Naots Rongo.I purchased one pair of Rongo's at my local shoe store. Went back for another pair after I experienced the comfort of the first pair. The little store said that Rongo was being discontinued and they couldn't get anymore. I then found them at an on line shoe store. I purchased 3 pair from them. Then I found them on Amazon and purchased 2 more pair. I have duplicates of the Mirror color shoes. Total of 6 pair.I'm near 70 years old and have arthritis quit bad in my back, one knee is bone on bone, and my right foot is more than 1/2 size smaller than my left foot. These shoes stay on BOTH of my feet, they are cute and fun to wear. I don't feel like 70 and crippled when I'm wearing them.I also like that they are great for most any season unless we have more than an inch of snow on the ground.These shoes were comfortable right out of the box. Liked the fact that the front is cut much lower which is more comfortable for my arthritic feet. I was looking for a black, comfortable summer shoe and these didn’t work for me in that respect. They looked very clunky with shorts and capris. Since they are backless, I would think that most people would wear them in the spring and summer, but the color choices are pretty dismal for those seasons. Highly recommend for comfort if you can find a color that works for you.Love the way these shoes fit. My first pair feel as good today as they did 6 years ago. From spring to fall I wear them at least three times a week. They are getting a bit tired, so I bought a second pair. Like the new color and the minute I put them on they were comfortable. Exactly what I expected.I have this shoe in the dark blue and absolutely love it. It has excellent support for my very high arch and room in the toe box for my straight-across toes and the adjustable strap helps hold my narrow heel in place. Even though the foot bed is removable, I don't need to use my orthotic with these. I decided to order them in black and maybe even in another color. Unfortunately the black pair I received was surprisingly tight across the top of my toes- totally unlike the blue pair. These are too expensive to hope that they will stretch out. I was disappointed to have to return them.Ich habe die Schuhe wie von anderen Rezensenten empfohlen eine Nummer größer als normal bestellt. Das war die richtige Entscheidung. Sie passen jetzt mit meinen eigenen orthopädischen Einlagen sehr gut. Die Schuhe sind sehr hübsch und sehr bequem, ich habe so etwas lange gesucht.I love Naot. My previous purchase were size 43, which were a tad big. The Rongo Mary's did not come in size 43, so I took a chance on the 42. They are a bit small on one foot. However, I think that I can stretch the leather. I am keeping these...I love the arch support and cushioning ... and love love love the style.Naot shoes are very comfortable shoes for anyone with a narrow heel and a wide forefoot. Deep enough to accommodate orthotics when you remove the cork insole. Cork insole very supportive.Eigentlich viel zu teuer und auch nicht besonders schön, aber wegen des außergewöhnlichen Tragecomforts schon zum zweiten Mal trotzdem gekauft.
