Archies Arch Support Flip Flops for Men & Women – Orthotic Sandals for Plantar Fasciitis Relief – Lightweight, Cushioning, Shock-Absorbing Thong Sandals for Walking, Foot Pain & All-Day Comfort

I'd rather be barefoot than wear shoes. Grew up by the beach then PNW for all of my adult life and still prefer barefoot over shoes!Lifelong 'Locals' flip flop wearer. They have no cushion or comfort but they're flip flops so I didn't expect them to. They kept my feet feeling free and that's all I cared about. By the end of the day my feet were tired, but again, that was the pay off for wearing basically bare feet all day! I was never looking at alternative flip flops, trends, etc. I just stuck with my 'originals'.One day the only pair of locals I had broke!!!! So I started looking online to order a couple more pairs.and of course the pop up 'people also looked at these' scrolls up with various 'popular' versions of a flip flop. I prefer the less trendy look so it was easy to scroll on but then I saw Archie's. Hmmm, ok. They're still very minimalistic looking, they don't have a fat sole or funky shape to the soles, no decorative or cloth straps.Hmmm. Ok. Read about the arch support and looked at them again to make sure the arch support didn't create an odd looking silhouette (picky, I know)And decided to give them a try. That was 5 years ago and I still have that first pair in Taupe. Remember I wear flip flops unless dress coad or an event dictates otherwise. I've purchased a couple more for color alternatives, Black, Red, now Navy.I'm telling you these are sooooo comfortable! I have a high arch so I never realized how much that little arch support enhances the comfort. All day long and I don't have tired feet or arches anymore!Archie's are constructed with a super cushioned foot bed and you'd think because of that, they would wear down quickly, but like I said, five years and going strong.I'm a very young 67 year old barefoot baby and Archie's are the only flip flops for me!!!I've since also ordered a couple more pairs

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I'm from southern California so I've worn flip flops religiously for years no matter the season. In the last few years I've struggled with painful plantar fasciitis. I could no longer wear flip flops or walk barefoot. At this point I wouldn't even attempt throwing on flip flops to run to do a quick grocery store trip, which was limiting. I've tried other brands of sandals specifically designed for plantar fasciitis with no success until now. I have wide feet so I normally purchase an 11 for extra width. However, the 11 was too long in this brand and I returned them for a 10. 10 fits me purchase. Other reviews said it takes a few days to get used to them which was helpful. They do feel a bit odd at first since they have significant arch support, but you get used to it. They feel like you have orthopedic souls with the flip flop look. I'm beyond thrilled as they look like my haviianas which I wore for years.Since I have a severe case of foot pain, I definitely wont wear them the entire day if I'm doing a lot of walking. However, I can wear them to the store, out shopping, out with friends etc... I HIGHLY recommend these. I'm purchasing them in other colors today. I'm beyond thrilled.

I am shoe size 6 or 6.5 depending on the brand, Archie's 7 fits perfectly. I have real issues wearing flip flops - I hate the way the toe post / strap feels and typically it hurts so after years I’d pretty much given up on them. I read the reviews on Archie’s and they are total game changer! Within the first few minutes of trying them out there was no discomfort between my toes and they felt comfy. I’ve had them for a week and only wear them a couple of hours a day but they feel like I’ve been wearing them forever. They are without a doubt the most comfortable flip flops / sandals I’ve ever owned. A review I read stated they feel like walking on a cloud which I second..I forget I’m wearing them, that’s how amazing they are. I love the arch support. They are absolutely perfect and really cute!! You definitely need these, some of the best sandals / flat shoes I’ve ever owned and trust me if you could see inside my closet you’d understand that’s a big statement for me!

Very cute. I’m a true size 8 and these almost felt like they are a half size too small. Also, they’re not the easiest flip flop to put on, but maybe with time it will get easier and loosen up.

I recently discovered this brand after reading an article that mentioned Jennifer Aniston wearing them regularly. I was curious but hesitant to make a purchase. As a native Texan, flip flops are a necessity for me, so I finally decided to give them a try. OH.MY.GOD. They are incredibly comfortable!I've been a loyal Reef wearer for about 20 years, but not anymore. I've managed to walk and reach my 10,000-step goal in these flip flops, and it's been years since I've been able to do that comfortably. The sizing was perfect; I usually wear a size 6.5 to 7 and opted for a size 7, which fits great. They are extremely lightweight and not at all heavy. I promise you won’t be disappointed if you buy these!

I’ve had these sandals for about two months now, and they are honestly the best I’ve ever owned. I typically wear a US Women’s size 6.5, but I sized up to a 7 because I have flat, wide, chubby feet—and I’m so glad I did. It was the best purchase decision.At first, the strap felt a bit tight, but I expected that and knew I’d need to break them in. Once they molded to my feet, it was game over! They are incredibly comfortable—no foot fatigue, no rubbing from the straps, and most importantly, no arch pain (which is rare for someone with flat feet).They also absorb the impact of my heavy heel strike really well, making them feel super lightweight and cushiony. I absolutely love them and would recommend them to anyone looking for flip flops that you’ll actually want to wear.
