Naya shoes are pretty fabulous — not only are they comfortable and certainly stylish, but they really really have thought about how to make a great eco-friendly shoe. Compliments of Naya, I reviewed my second pair of shoes from the brand, the Naya Fandanga in Black Leaf, $150, and am thrilled to confirm that they exceed all expectations. Beyond the cushy and comfy inside (which includes an arch support), these sturdy slingbacks have a solid heel, made of bamboo, with a recycled cork outsole and vegetable-tanned leather.
This style reminds me of a vintage pair of Bruno Magli heels I possess, and the Fandangas look great with a pantsuit as well as a flirty silk summer dress. Now, if only the summer would come, I could throw off the tights and show off my pedicure!
Check out all the Naya spring styles at Shoes.com, with a few other favorites including the Tova, Gemini, and Begonia.

If you love the earth-friendly shoe brand Naya as much as we do, you’ll be thrilled to know that their Spring 2011 line is already in stores. This season the company went heavy on the cork wedges, perfect for pairing with those short shorts, and lots of flirty, floral details.
For the fashionistas who want to further embrace Naya’s eco-chic approach, you can also join the brand’s Renew your Soles initiative. Naya has partnered with Soles4Souls, a charity organization that collects gently worn shoes for those in need, and whatever can’t be given away is recycled. So your shoes stay out of the landfills either way. Visit nayashoes.com for more details and to print out the downloadable form. As an added bonus, when you donate a pair of gently worn shoes, you will receive $20 off an $80 purchase* at shoes.com – see site for details!
