Great shoes, I have them in all three colors
Over the years I have found myself gravitating towards this type of shoe, a slide-on with an open back, enclosed toe, and a slight ridge behind the heel. I have found several brands/styles that I liked, but most manufacturers (e.g. Born) stop making their styles after a year or two.I eventually found these Naot Bjorn shoes, and they are fantastic - plus Naot keeps making them year after year. They comfortable, durable, fit great, look great, and are available in my size. I wear this type of shoe 95% of the time, because I work from home and live in a temperate climate (South Central Texas) where there's only a few days in the winter where I need to wear actual shoes and socks.It's sort of turned me into a hillbilly, because when I have to wear regular shoes my feet complain quite a bit about being enclosed and cinched up. However, the ease of having these slide-on/slide-off shoes makes it well worth the occasional discomfort when dressing up in 'real' shoes.Bottom line is that I basically live in these shoes, and they are fantastic - highly recommended.

Beautifully and expensively constructed
This is a well constructed shoe. It is partially leather lined in the interior with a thick cork insole that is comfortable out of the box and will eventually mold to your foot. It fits true to size. I was skeptical about the price before purchasing but after seeing the quality of the sho, I can say they are worth it.

Size runs really small
I ordered two pairs of shoes from different places both were size 12 the other pair fit great. These were too small, so I returned them and ordered a size 13 they felt just like the size 12 too small.

Sizes run small.
I wear an 11.5, ordered a 12-12.5 and it was still small. Had to return and order a 13. Additionally, Amazon apparently has the images for two of the color options, (the Grey and Oily Brown Nubuck), swapped. Naot's home website shows them as they truly are. The shoes themselves are well made and comfortable once broken in. Cork insole is a little snug until it conforms to your foot in about a day or two of wearing. Overall I love the shoe, just be sure to order a size to a size and half bigger than what you wear.

Comfortable and Cool
Great looking mule. pretty much true to size, my husband is an 8.5 so the 9 was perfect. a wide toe box and high instep. keeping inner soles in place (instead of removing them) and adding his orthotics on top made for a better feeling fit. If this is the first time wearing mules, it takes a day or so to get used to the looser 'slipper style' fit.Definitely worth buying. Enjoy!

The shoes themselves are great, but they run MUCH smaller than any other ...
The shoes themselves are great, but they run MUCH smaller than any other shoe I've ever seen. I am a 12.5 with a slightly wide foot so usually wear 13. When I ordered the 13s, I couldn't even get my foot all the way in, it stuck out the back. I exchanged for the 14s, the largest available size (at least at the time), and I can just barely squeeze into them. In every other shoe, 14s are clearly too big on me. I don't know what the story is but I wish they fit correctly because they are otherwise very comfortable aside from running small.

Naot shoes are a bargain if you are used to expensive shoes. Beautifully made, wonderful fit and look fabulous.
I ordered one size larger than my husband wears his regular shoes but these were for wearing around the house and so many reviews said they ran small. They are the perfect fit and the quality you would expect ( or better!) for the price. Wonderful soft leather with good support throughout the foot including some arch support. My husband loves them and if they keep making them, would order more but they have the stitching, leather and sole that expensive shoes are made like that they should last a long time. Very pleased with these shoes.
