I purchased my first pair of Matai, by Naot, shoes in early September. I had some Naot shoes years before, and remembered how comfy they were. At first I only wore them a few days a week. Then I noticed that the days I wore them my legs and hip did not hurt as much. I fell on the ice last winter, and was finally going for a dreaded cortisone shot in my hip, after many other therapies did not help. Now I don't need it. Yay!! I have been wearing these shoes exclusively for almost 2 months, and have already purchased another pair and will buy another soon. I am so afraid they will sell out and I won't know what else to wear. I cycled through all my other high quality shoes to see how my hip felt. Dansko which I used to love, too heavy and more pain. Shoes I loved in the past, like Born, just don't cut it anymore with my hip issues. I had not had hip pain before. I work on my feet for 8 hours or more a day. I was beginning to think I would have to look for another job, but now I am mostly pain free. Thanks, Naot for these wonderfully crafted shoes. Keep them coming. PS, I am ordering my 3rd pair right now. My own testimony made me realize I needed the 3rd pair to keep them fresh! Try them. You will love them.
