Most comfortable shoes ever

I have several pairs of these shoes. This shoe is outstanding. Very comfortable the minute you slip the shoes on the feet. Absolutely no break in time needed. I have arthritis of the hip and these shoes help me walk with less pain. Also I always get compliments on this particular pair of shoes. People are always asking where do you get those cute shoes. I was glad to see the new black leather and brown suede color options.
Highly recommended

These are the most comfortable shoes. They are immediately easy to wear, and because of the styling go well with both slacks and skirts.
For me at least I wear a woman’s size 12 or EU 43 and it fit perfectly.

Perfect fit, and comfortable the first time I put them on. Beautiful color combination, and Matai is my favorite style.

Great Shoe...

...with a unique design; comfortable; can be worn casual or more dress-up.

Love this shoe! One of my favorites!

This is the second pair I have had of this particular shoe. The first pair was used for world travel as a comfortable walk shoe that could be worn with a dress or pants.

Naot Matai are my favorite shoes. Love Finn Comfort just as much, but my Matai shoes are stylish and super comfortable. Ordering another pair because my old pair are worn out.

Thankful that I found this perfect shoe company online

Thankful that I found this perfect shoe company online.
Years ago I bought many Naot shoes from a kind local retailer that went out of business.
Comfort and simple style.

Naot Matai Shoes

I’ve had several pairs of these shoes. They are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn.

These are so cute and comfy

I recently had to switch up my shoes because of an injury and these are so lightweight but well made and sturdy. They are feminine and cute. I normally don't like Mary Janes because they either look dated or boxy but these are so fashionable. I have gotten so many compliments on them!

A superb shoe

Have 3 pairs of Matai, the oldest (about 15 years old) and my favorite, is the Black Madras/Black suede--amazingly, it still looks quite good and I still get compliments on this pair. Super comfortable, bliss-like fit. Also have a navy teeny-beaded-type, and a brown plain leather one.
One of the best things, is that although I usually hate the "Mary Jane" style (which looks childish to me), THIS shoe has the center strap AND the toe box cut on a DIAGONAL, which is very slimming. A regular Mary Jane has the center strap and toe box opening going straight across the center of your foot--shortening it and making it look stubby. The diagonal slant--and the cool "swirl" motif" of the Matai was an inspired design, and transforms it into a very sleek and elegant look.
PLEASE make the Matai in a Navy Blue that is the same fabric as the "shiny Madras and dark suede" combination as your current Black one. It would be a knockout!!!

My third pair

I first bought these for restaurant work, on my feet all day. I still love them. It seems they need a time to break in, and so they are still snug, but I’m sure eventually they will fit like a glove.

I have owned numerous Naot shoes and sandals. I enjoy all of them but this particular shoe is by far my favorite. The metatarsal support is fabulous and it feels like a sneaker as well and has way more style. Would love to have a pair in blue but so far I don’t see the color available. Thanks Naot for producing outstanding footwear. I have been wearing Naot footwear for 25 years.

Matai

The shoes are beautiful, comfortable, well constructed, and support my feet without looking like an orthopaedic shoe.

The most comfy shoe! I just had to size down from a 7.5 to a 7 for the perfect fit.

Comfortable and a Joy!

I have had a number of these style Naots over the years. I keep hoping that the manufacturer in Israel will soon be able to sell these in the U.S. These are by far the most stylish and comfortable flats that I have ever worn. As a bonus, they are so cute!

I love these shoes. They are very comfortable and do not squash my toes. This is my third pair of Matai shoes. I hope they continue to make them in size 43 and in different colors.

Matai shoes

Fantastic shoes very comfortable I have arthritis of the hip this shoe is the only shoe I will wear. This shoe takes the pressure of my hip thus reducing pain in my hip and knee. I highly suggest if you are hesitant to purchase go ahead you will not be disappointed. I wish they came in navy blue. I wear a lot of navy so I would like my Matai shoes to match my navy blue slacks and navy blue outfits. You used to carry navy blue in this shoe but I do not see it as an option. What happened?

I love this shoe, my most favorite pair. I have one that is reddish and for the first time wore out the soles. I was heartbroken. I had them for about 10 years.

I just received a new pair in the green. They fit just like my old pair. Please, Never, never discontinue the matai.

Very comfortable pair of shoes. I wear a lot of navy blue so I would like to match my shoes to my outfits. I also have very high arches so again these shoes are perfect with my arch inserts supports. I went to a National park this summer they were great for walking all day and good for going to a dinner at a restaurant.
