Stepping on to the footbeds is only the beginning of the NAOT experience. You are now ready to explore the singular comfort technology of NAOT footwear. As you first stand in your new NAOT shoes or sandals, the footbeds automatically begin a molding process. The molding process allows you foot to nestle into the footbed, while the footbed adapts to the specific contours of your foot. As the footbed massages your foot, nerve endings are loosened and transmit a calm and restful sensation throughout your entire body. Gradually, a natural balance is established through the molded heel cups and arches that cradle your foot. As this occurs, your weight becomes more evenly distributed within the shoe or sandal. This process takes time. Give the footbeds time to mold themselves to the shape of your foot. Wear your new NAOT shoes and sandals for short periods of time during the first few days of use. This will allow the footbeds time to form to specific feature of your foot and provide total comfort to your walking pleasure. Just as Birkenstock is a great sandal, we pride ourselves with craftsmanship that is unparalleled in its deference to the natural form of the human foot.

Our footwear consistently provides and sustains the utmost in natural freedom and comfort. In its effort to achieve that goal, NAOT has successfully merged both nature and nurture to create an incomparable advantage in our footwear: the bonding of natural freedom, natural comfort, outstanding construction, and superb styling. Natural freedom: The natural universe is a paradigm of freedom. Just look around: the winds blow, the sunlight gleams, and the rains fall without restraint. Planets spin, life is created, and ideas flourish without limitation. At NAOT, we understand and value the freedom of movement that is nature's gift to us. We also believe that natural freedom and comfort are inseparable. Because of this, NAOT proudly defines itself by the way in which our products respect and conform to natural freedom and optimum comfort. But we take equal satisfaction in sacrificing nothing to design.
