Why should women care about wearing Naya shoes?
As mothers, grandmothers and sisters we are the caretakers of our future generations. The earth is not going to remain the way it is unless we make an eff ort to renew it. Wearing Naya shoes is just one step we can take to leave a softer footprint on our earth.
What are the most important things you want women to know about Naya shoes?
Naya was born from the belief that shoes should be beautiful on your feet, soft on your step and gentle on the environment.

Naya Boots
Favorite Naya Style:
I love the Tova for spring and plan on getting it in every color. This sandal embodies the natural and relaxed attitude of the Naya brand. It’s on a two inch heel, which is great when I’m on my feet all day. The full grain leather adds premium comfort. I know I can wear it all day long, be comfortable and look fantastic.
