Naot Sandals: The Universal Sandal

By Terri Mullerson on Wednesday, February 17, 2010 - 21:38

Naot sandals are phenomenal.  They just are.  They can be worn by anyone - no matter your gender, age, or style.  They combine the very simplest elements of great sandals to create sandals that are attractive, comfortable, and superior to other sandals on the market.

Personally, I am surprised that Naots have not entered the mainstream in the same way as Ugg sandals or Birkenstocks have - Naots are far more fashionable, functional, and comfortable. I love that they have styles that range from artsy and unique to more modern and sophisticated designs.

Where to Buy Naot Sandals

Since you may be less familiar with Naot than other brands, let me start by directing you to the best place to buy them.  My Favorite Naot Shoe Retailer is a company with excellent customer service.  They are helpful and knowledgeable.  And they have the widest range of styles and colors anywhere (even a large selection of discontinued styles) so you can get a great feel for the Naot product before you take advantage of the best prices you will find online.

The Naot Company

There is no other sandal company today that makes sandals for both men and women that are as stylish, functional, and comfortable as Naot sandals.  This company has been around since 1942 and has perfected making the perfect sandal.  The Naot Company, located in Israel, commits itself to making "healthful, comfortable, and fashionable footwear."  Naot's desire to be a company with uncompromised integrity and a superior product shows in every pair of sandals that it produces.  Every sandal they produce features:

• Superior materials
• Lasting wearability, flexibility, and comfort
• Careful construction and design
• Versatility to wear with a number of different fashion looks

The Naot Footbed - A Footprint in the Sand

The main claim that the Naot Company makes about their shoes is that the anatomical footbed will replicate an imprint of your foot "just like the footprint left when walking in the sand."  This claim is true.  Both pairs of Naot sandals that I have owned do exactly this.  By having the footbed match the exact contours of my own foot, the sandals are unbelievably comfortable, and they're healthier for my foot (posture, balance, hips, etc.) because they provide the same support, weight distribution, and pressure that my own foot would.

A blend of cork and latex (natural rubber) make the insole and outer sole of these sandals flexible, durable, and shock absorbent.  Naot sandals are also like a footprint taken from the fashion world.  Their design lines are taken from the latest trends and styles, making for rich and colorful variety.

I am eagerly awaiting my Martinis and Mojitos from Naot - two new styles for spring. I got them from The Top Naot Shoe Retailer.  You're sure to find your perfect pair of Naot sandals and when you do - you will be on the cutting edge of this increasingly popluar company, with a pair (or two) of really great sandals.  Naot is certainly going to leave its footprint on the world of sandals.
