Naot Shell Embroidered Brown Clog Review

FlashBack Friday

When you think about where shoes are made, Israel isn't one of the countries that pops into ones mind but that is exactly where Naots are made.  My good friend in Israel translates the word Noat as "beatiful/handsome" and these shoes are exactly that! When pronouncing the name just think “nah-oat”. Once you have practiced your pronunciation, march your feet down to your local shoe store and ask to try some on. There is no doubt that if you try any model from the “Shell” collection you will experience the immediate ooohhhh—aaaahhhh that made me buy them on the spot. Of course, the fact that I already had a groovy pair of embroidered pants that match them perfectly certainly was the icing on the deal. “The styles in the “Shell” collection have a 1-1/2 inch heel and feature Naot's removable, anatomic cork and latex footbed which is covered in suede and molds to the shape of the foot with wear.”-(Naot Website). If you ever wished for a shoe that was softer than a Birkenstock and lighter than a Dansko without giving up that wonderful arch support; know that your wish has been granted.

The rich brown leather and colorful embroidery is eye-catching but discontinued and no... mine are not up for grabs. Fret not! Naot is still delivering the “Shell” collection with all its' awesome comfort in plenty of charming designs and color combinations. Besides you probably don't have the same perfect pair of pants to go with these:) I know you are bound to fall in love with a style that speaks to your inner sole and wardrobe!

If you don't have access to a local Naot retailer you can find them online at: onlineshoes.com, zappos.com and healthyshoestore.com


Fitting Notes:

European Sizing. The “Shell” collection from Naot fits a medium to wide foot best. So, how is it that I, with a narrow-ish low-volume foot wearing them? The answer is tongue pads...email me if you want to learn more about the joys of a well-placed tongue pad. While the footbeds are incredibly comfortable and supportive; they are also removable. Thus, these shoes will accommodate quite a thick orthotic. If your orthotics have limited your choices of footwear to athletic shoes you will be happy to know that these Naots will be a welcome and much more stylish alternative.
