I love Naots. I also like Dansko and Sanita. They look great with jeans.

+1 to Naots. Stylish and don't hurt your feet.
Danskos and Clarks have heels so wide I walk right out of them, in addition to making me look like all the other "Cambridge Ladies" who are psychotherapists.
At least I don't wear long flowing hippie skirts.

I don't fit into women's shoes but I agree men have much better choices. I just haven't found a pair that doesn't feel like I'm being wrapped up by a boa constrictor.
It doesn't really matter though. Clipless pedals don't like me.
I got excited when these were on sale and my size. So I got them...even though I don't need them until 6-12 months. From past years, it can take me 1-2 years to find the right pr. of women's cycling shoes for me.
I can't wear men's sizes.

I spent hours looking for shoes online. I did not get the one's I really wanted, but I could not pass up the deal on these. $50 from Amazon. Louis Garneau XR2. I hope they fit. I really wanted the next women's shoe up from LG, they were very pretty and matched my bike, but $180 vs. $50. It is a good thing. I took my new Orbea into the LBS because I could not shift with the left Shimano 105 shifter. Figured it was an easy fix, but they could not fix it and are waiting to hear back from Shimano. Should be under warranty given I have not had the bike long. Sucks, I made sure my bike had 105 or better components than my last bike only to have it fail after 7 months and find out after an Internet search that this is a common problem with the left Shimano 105 shifter. Anyways.

Actually I think it's easier to find a broader range of women's cycling shoes if one is using clipless pedals.
which I'm not. So I have other problems finding something at all...

I too couldn't resist those shoes at that price. I've had a serious shoe acquisition habit for years so it seems now I'm "collecting" cycling shoes in addition to pretty heels, sandals, and boots. The XR2s aren't an exciting color but they're quite sharp looking, lightweight, and a lot of shoe for the money even at full price. The extra insoles and straps are a nice bonus. Hope they work out for you.
Now this is a shoe I would love!!
