Spotlight on Naot: A Brand Dedicated to Comfort!

Jun23

NaotWe love comfort. Everyone here in the office obviously has a wide variety of shoes, but one thing that’s consistent among all of us – we all have shoes and sandals dedicated to our comfort. You’ll see Birkenstock, Dansko and Pikolinos roaming the office – and you’ll most definitely see Naot.

Naot is one of those brands that have a serious and loyal customer base even though they aren’t as well known…yet. The reason they have such loyal fans is that their shoes and sandals for men and women are amazingly comfortable and well made.

Naot shoes use beautiful, soft leathers in their uppers and throughout their linings. The insole incorporates light cork and latex, as well as soft suede. The Liner is also flexible and well stitched for durability. The sole of Naot shoes and sandals are lightweight PU that adds shock absorption and support. Naot has incorporated anatomic structure in their footbed to support arches and foot muscles and to improve core strength and stability. Basically, every aspect of Naot footwear construction is designed to support, strengthen and comfort the wearer.

So let’s look at some great Women’s Naot styles for this summer!

Naot KaylaThe Naot Kayla is a great example of a classic Naot sandal. Simple and strappy this sandal will stay securely on your foot while looking classic and elegant.

The Velcro strap makes this sandal customizable to any foot, and the super comfortable and supportive footbed will keep your foot firmly in place while you roam the office, run errands or frolic all weekend long.

The outsole has plenty of traction for slippery surfaces and the wide base of this sandal makes it ideal for walking. The Naot Kayla sandal is classic, comfortable and versatile – perfect for any summer wardrobe!

Naot AshleyLooking for a style that takes the comfort of Naot and adds a twist of fashion? Check out the Naot Ashley! This slide is simple in construction and silhouette and super fun in material.

With its innovative leather upper in a block style and crazy fun patterns and embellishments, these sandals will amp up your fashionable side while keeping your comfort and practical sides perfectly at ease.

The other reason we love the Naot Ashley is the slight wedge and platform. This means you get a little sexy height but you aren’t compromising on health, posture or stability.

Naot MonaThe Naot Mona has been one of our best sellers this year. You can probably see why – super charming, right? The simple two-strap slide with adorable flower accents is delicate and feminine while being durable and comfortable.

You get the super supportive footbed that molds to your foot, the shock absorbing and grippy outsole, the high quality leathers used in the upper and you’ll feel fashionable and elegant at the same time.

As perfect with a pair of jeans as they are with a flirty summer dress, the Naot Mona sandal is an easy adds to your closet this summer. And get this; those straps are adjustable with Velcro. It doesn’t get any better than the Naot Mona!

Back to School: Great Shoes for Teachers – The Ladies!

Sep08

Having the energy to teach all day means you can’t be plagued by pinched toes or tired soles. You need to be quick on your feet and you need to be able to illustrate your personal style at the same time. You could be classically elegant or perhaps a bit modern and funky – but either way you need durable, well made shoes that can keep up with your students and keep your feet comfortable and happy throughout any kind of day.

Likewise, we know that all teachers out there are on a budget – but I recommend considering a wise investment in a high quality comfort shoe that will last throughout the fall, winter and spring over buying ill fitting discount shoes in higher quantity. To that end, we’ve made some smart and truly well made shoes for our fabulous lady teachers.

Naot KireiYou may not have heard of Naot, but as soon as you slip into these shoes, you’ll never forget them. This is a shoe brand that is all about combining comfort and classic fashion – with a little edge of modern design. Here we have the Naot Kirei, a lovely flat, Mary Jane style that is classic but updated with contrasting textures and detailed stitching.

The strap is adjustable Velcro for maximum comfort and fit and the suede footbed is made with latex and cork for maximum shock absorption and all day comfort. This footbed is also removable so if you have a custom orthotic or preferred footbed, it can seamlessly fit into the well constructed, stylish and durable Naot shoe.

Clarks TimelessNext up, we pull from one of our favorite brands here at Planet Shoes, Clarks. Clarks has an eye for classic silhouettes and beautiful, high quality materials and the Clarks Timeless is timeless indeed. They also have the benefit of decades of shoe making which has led them to incorporate some excellent comfort technology in the brand.

This means you get a simple, elegant style that you can pair with almost any outfit and your feet will thank you for the active air insole system that absorbs shock and cushions your soles. The shoe is flexible, supple and simply accented with contrast stitching and a low, stable heel. If you need an every day shoe and you like simple, clean lines, Clarks is a great brand for you and the Clarks Timeless will serve your needs beautifully.

Spring Step VickyIf you prefer a sturdier shoe, or something that will easily work with trousers and jeans and can move indoor and outdoor with no worries, you may consider the SpringStep Vicky. This is a modified slip on – really like a Moc, with a zipper enclosure on the soft leather upper.

Spring Step is absolutely designed to keep you on your feet all day, with special incorporated spring technology to help you go further, faster and longer. The insole is super soft cushioned for maximum comfort and the insole has excellent arch support. The shoe is also light and flexible and the classic colors and European styling is simple and elegant.

Earth InertiaFinally, we bring you an option from Earth. Earth footwear has been around for a long time and has an absolutely stunningly loyal and vocal customer base because of the quality and comfort of their shoes as well as the special technology that is incorporated in every pair.

The Kalso Negative Heel is a design that slightly elevates the ball of the foot, shifting weight back to your heels. This improves posture and also helps you to burn calories and build core strength just by wearing the shoes every day. Earth offers lot’s of great designs, but we chose the Earth Inertia to show off today because of its updated and feminine styling.

Perfect for trousers, jeans, skirts and dresses, these Earth shoes are lightweight, super supportive and incorporate BioFoam cushioning which keeps your whole foot in comfort while you burn calories just by being a great and active teacher.
