Frequently Asked Questions

What is Naot's anatomic footbed?

Naot's anatomic footbed is made from a blend of natural cork and latex that gradually molds to the unique shape of your foot through body heat and wear. Over the first few weeks, the footbed conforms to your arch height, heel contour, and metatarsal area — creating a personalized fit that distributes pressure evenly. This reduces strain on the plantar fascia and ball of the foot.

Are Naot shoes good for plantar fasciitis?

Yes. Naot's cork and latex footbed provides progressive arch support that molds to your foot shape, which helps distribute weight away from the heel where plantar fasciitis pain concentrates. The slight heel elevation in many Naot styles also reduces strain on the plantar fascia. For severe cases, consult your podiatrist about whether Naot's built-in support is sufficient or if you need custom orthotics in an extra-depth shoe.

Are Naot shoes covered by HSA or FSA?

Naot shoes are not pre-qualified for HSA/FSA coverage because they are classified as comfort footwear rather than medical-grade therapeutic devices. However, if your doctor provides a Letter of Medical Necessity prescribing orthopedic footwear for a diagnosed condition like arthritis or plantar fasciitis, you may be able to submit for reimbursement. Check with your plan administrator for your plan's specific coverage rules.

Do Naot shoes require a break-in period?

Naot shoes have a gentle break-in period of about 1-2 weeks as the cork and latex footbed molds to your foot. During this time, the footbed gradually conforms to your arch shape and pressure points. This is normal and intentional — the footbed is creating a custom fit. Wear them for increasing periods each day during the first week. Once broken in, most customers find Naot shoes more comfortable than they were new.

Where are Naot shoes made?

Naot shoes are handcrafted in Nahariya, Israel, where the company was founded in 1942. The brand combines traditional shoemaking craftsmanship with their proprietary anatomic footbed technology. Each pair is built with careful attention to materials and construction, using premium leathers and the signature cork-latex footbed that has made Naot a leading name in comfort footwear worldwide.

Naot shoes are handcrafted in Israel using a unique anatomic footbed system made from natural cork and latex that molds to the contours of your foot over time. At HealthyFeetStore.com, we carry nearly 50 Naot shoes and sandals for women and men — including Mary Janes, sandals, boots, and casual styles.

What makes Naot unique is their anatomic footbed technology. Unlike foam insoles that compress flat over time, Naot's cork and latex footbed gradually conforms to your arch shape, heel contour, and pressure points — creating a custom fit without the cost of custom orthotics. This natural molding process helps relieve plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, and arthritis by distributing pressure more evenly across the foot.

Naot's reputation for combining genuine comfort with contemporary style makes them popular among women who want orthopedic support without the orthopedic look. Browse our Naot collection with free shipping from Healthy Feet Store.
