I purchased a pair of Naot Faso sandals
from
Zappos for $141. I think this was the most I've ever paid for a pair of
shoes,
so I was really hoping that they would work with my orthotics. I have
chronic
plantar fasciitis in both feet and have to wear my orthotics every day.
Finding
sandals that work for me is tricky, since the orthotics tend to "walk"
out of
the back of anything with just an ankle strap.
The Naots are fantastic! The cork footbed is removable so my orthotics fit completely inside the sole. I also found that even with the cork still in place, there is enough of a lip in the heel that my orthotics do not slip out. I decided to keep the cork in place because I prefer the way it looks under my toes. With the cork bed out, my toes look like they have sunk into the front of the shoe. My husband said that looked sort of "clunky."
