NAOT Footwear Men's Bjorn Shoe

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.

This is actually my 4th pair of Naot Bjorn shoes. I am a chef and I am on my feet all day. There is never an issue with my feet because of the structure and comfort of these beautiful shoes. I work 12 to 15 hour days on my feet 6 days a week and a pair of these last about 2 years at that rate. I would imagine that if worn normally, they could last for several years. The shoes run small but that is what I expected. I am a 9 to 9.5 or 42 and they generally take me about 1 week for me to "break them in" so that they no longer feel small.In addition, I am also a diabetic. I highly recommend these shoes if you have any issues with your feet. I am convinced that I do not have any issues with my feet because of these shoes.

I have been working the last 20 years always bought this brand the quality has been great until my last purchase this seems were splitting and inserts were already shifting three months after I bought them. They’re not cheap to purchase

As others have noted, make sure to order a size up. Otherwise I love the shoes so far--they stay on well, are very comfortable, and look nice with jeans or slacks. My only reason for not giving five stars is the price, which is a bit on the high side. If they last as long as other reviewers indicate they will definitely prove their value, but I will have to wait and see for myself.**UPDATE 07/06/2015** So I've had these for 10 months, and after a good cleaning and shine they look nearly as good as the day I got them. The sole is still extremely comfortable after lots of time in my feet on them. I also wore them all the way through the winter (I live in the northern edge of the midwest) and they held up very well in the snow, and the tread kept my feet planted even on ice, which is really important as clogs aren't the most stable footwear to begin with. If I could bump my review to 4.5 stars I could. I'll try to check back in after another winter with another update.

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!

For slides these are a winner and I have tried many different brands. Good toe box, relatively good support and very little slippage. Durability remains to be seen but so far so good and I even bought a second pair in case these are discontinued.

Way too expensive. Didn’t even come in a shoe box. Not enough different sizes

I don’t like the price but I didn’t have much choice with this type of clogs that the back of the foot is supported. They are comfortable. My husband wears size 9 but I bought size 11
