I am wearing these shoes right now and my feet actually feel like they are in a cozy little bed. :)  These shoes prove that quality matters! Paying extra money for a brand that understands fit, quality and comfort is definitely worthwhile, and Naya is one of those brands. I live in Minnesota and it is icy and snowing today. I know these are a strange choice for winter because they are open on top, but still I am wearing them and they are better in the snow than many of my winter boots, as far as traction. The soles are made of a nice grippy rubber. I love the unique look of these shoes with cute pair of socks. They are so absolutely adorable. Will be buying this brand again.
