These shoes are over 120.00 at the trendy little college shoe shop near Arizona State University! Then you add our ridiculous 9-point-something-percent sales tax and I'd consider myself financially raped! I bought these to replace a similar set I had for at least 6 years... maybe 8. I use them as house shoes so that I always have comfortable arch support when walking on our tile floors. When ordering be aware there is a narrow sizing and a normal width option. I was glad to benefit from the improved fit of the narrow option for my skinny little feet : ) They fit better and become more comfortable the longer you wear them.
