Thanks to Flickr member ohmomof1 for the use of her photo of the Naot Sea in red pepper. She was fortunate enough to find her new comfortable shoes on ebay for $74...shipping included!
If you're a Naot fan, you're most likely familiar with the ever-popular Matai style featured here. While similar in looks with its swirly stitching, the Sea has a sturdier (some may say "clunkier") sole and runs a bit wider than the Matai. From reading customer reviews, I'd advise you to order your regular size and the next size down to try them both out as I read the Sea runs a tad large (Zappos has the easiest free returns process).
While you can wear your custom orthotics in the Naot Sea as the footbed is completely removable, you may find you don't need to. I've read quite a few reviews stating the Naot footbed is more supportive and comfortable than the prescribed orthotics.
If you're interested in this comfortable shoe, head on over to Zappos to watch a video review of the Naot Sea and read the many 5-star reviews.
