Meet the Novel, a dressy slide sandal that offers style and comfort. The Novel has double gore for ease of wear and beautiful stone accents. Naot's anatomic cork and latex footbed is wrapped in leather with a microfiber center to prevent slipping and molds to the shape of the foot with wear. The Avantgarde Collection features a TPR sole with a metal shank. This sole offers the look of a 2" heel without the feel.
