NAOT

NAOT is an Israeli comfort footwear brand for people who want shoes that look good and feel comfortable from the first step. The story began in 1942, when members of a small collective farming community in Israel's Hula Valley, on Kibbutz Neot Mordechai, started crafting shoes in a small workshop. Today NAOT is an international brand, and many styles are still made in Israel. At Sole Provisions, the NAOT collection includes sandals, sneakers, flats, and everyday styles, and it sits naturally beside our wider women's sandals and women's footwear selections.

A Comfort Tradition That Started in 1942

NAOT began as a modest shoemaking workshop and grew into one of the best known names in Israeli footwear. The company is based at Kibbutz Neot Mordechai, and it has since expanded with factories and distribution in other countries. The Hebrew name of the brand is Teva Naot. In the United States, NAOT is pronounced "Nay-Oat." If you appreciate heritage brands with a hands-on approach, NAOT is a strong choice.

The Footbed Is Where NAOT Feels Different

The heart of NAOT is its removable footbed, made of engineered cork and latex, covered in suede, and shaped to the foot. Over time it molds to your foot for a more personal fit, and many styles are orthotic friendly. If you need extra support, explore our arch support shoes and shoe inserts, or browse wide width shoes for more room.

Handcrafted Details, Not Just a Comfort Label

NAOT uses Italian leathers on some styles and hand sewn Strobel construction on several collections. Features vary by model and can include padded heel cups, adjustable closures, shock absorbing soles, slip resistant outsoles, and lightweight builds. That attention to construction is a big part of why NAOT shoes hold up over years of wear.

Sandals With More Going On Underfoot

The Majorca has a backstrap, a hook and loop closure, and an EVA sole, making it easy to adjust for a secure fit. The Papaki features a padded front strap, a heel cup, and an adjustable instep closure for extra stability. Compare them with our women's sandals from other comfort brands.

Everyday Sneakers With NAOT Comfort

NAOT is not only about sandals. The Co Collins mixes leather, suede, and mesh for a casual look, and the Sunset adds a removable footbed, cushioning, and a slip resistant sole. Browse our women's sneakers to compare more options.

A Collection That Covers More Than One Look

NAOT styles range from neutral colors to metallics and textured or seasonal designs, including Mary Jane styles like the Pure and Taranaki, knit styles like the Miami, and statement sandals like the Dynasty and Form. There is something for casual days, travel, and dressier outfits.
