Thanks. My son is expressive, and loves to talk animals--he knows way more than me about most animals..except owls.

I just asked Nicole and she said they're less rigid than Dansko, but more than your average sandal. A very sturdy sandal she says.

Shoot!! That's the thing with those non-adjustable straps. They look better and less "orthopedic" but are so non-accommodating to different widths of forefoot. Then the foot slides around and causes blisters. Sorry to hear it, but thank you for letting me and everyone else know!

To piggyback on my last post about footwear for the narrow-footed, I've found five closed-toe options: four in light hues for spring and one in classic black. Of course these come in wides too! 1. Sperry Angelfish: Did you know... Continue reading

I know, cedar, I feel the same way. I'm not in corporate America, so don't need a classic pump. But if I should become a corporate lawyer, this would be my shoe.

Cherry and Bette, I came *this* close to mentioning Anyi Lu, but then backed off due to the price. Her shoes are works of art, you're correct. I especially love the Tulip style: http://bit.ly/1qcY6Z4 Thanks for your input!

Hi Jeanne, THank you so much for the nice comments!

I love my Birkenstocks, but I find mine do bend just a little at the forefoot and can cause pain on a bad toe day. But I spend many of my summer days in my Granadas ;-)

Ah! The orange is my current favorite. Would look great a pop of color with navy, gray, white...GREAT DEAL!

Commented Mar 24, 2014 on Naot Dorith Sandal Review at Comfortable Shoes for Women Blog | Barking Dog Shoes

Hi Louise! Always good to hear from you, as an avid Naot fan. I have to admit that the straps were a bit tight at the beginning and I'm glad they stretched out! They do run narrow.

Commented Mar 24, 2014 on Naot Dorith Sandal Review at Comfortable Shoes for Women Blog | Barking Dog Shoes

HI Bette, I agree with you, they are more flexible than other Naot sandals with a thicker cork and latex sole--not a long-term sandals for those with big toe pain/hallux limitus. But aren't they the sweetest little comfort sandal??
