I love this shoe. It's very comfortable and has moderate arch support. I feel it is definitely overpriced because I personally needed to get an additional arch support shoe insert to get the level of arch support that I wanted. I also have very narrow feet so I may have just needed an extra insert to fill in the extra room that my foot doesn't take up. I'm glad it's not made in china and thus is more expensive, so it's overall worth the buy! I wear a 40N in birkenstocks and found that the 40 Naot was just a little bit too short on my big toe. I am normally an 8.5-9.5 depending on the brand.
