I bought these Naot sandals because I like the footbed and sole, and Naot apparently doesn't make my favorite style with this footbed anymore (Uma). These sandals are not as comfortable out of the box as the Uma style, but the footbed is fairly comfortable. I use these for everyday wear (I can't stand to go barefoot, even around the house). The front strap is adjustable, but I didn't need to move it at all. The strap across the arch has an elastic piece that helps it to stretch across the top of the foot. I have a high instep / high arches, and this strap was a little tight out of the box, so I have to break them in. I still don't like these as much as the Uma style (I'm so sad they are no longer available), and even though this sandal has the same sole/footbed, the arch support doesn't seem quite as high. As with all Naot shoes/sandals, these are very well made with high quality materials. I'm sure I'll get many years of wear from them, as I have with my other Naot products.
