I've found out recently that I need arch support in my shoes (I have some insoles that promise arch support but don't think they really do much), so can anyone recommend something that isn't sketchers trainers? Thanks in advance!

Shoes with arch support that aren't sketchers!

I tried various Birkenstock sandals and found the soles too hard too. Wondering if there are other styles that have more cushioning than their regular sandal sole? Maybe people can recommend some if so?

I hate how rigid & rock hard Birkenstocks are. I find them very uncomfortable.

I have had a lot of them and only 1 pair with a non-black sole had that problem.
I really wish Cheerful Sole (the only place in the UK that sells them I know off) would sell more styles Id love to try the Sydni Clay shoes.
Perhaps a trip to the states just for shoes :D

I think those Algeria Paloma look lovely, they have some great patterns. Never actually tried any as I found Wolky Rio which similarly have fun colours and patterns, kind of fit that wardrobe gap snd I know will work for me. But I find they don't last brilliantly as house shoes as I take them on and off a lot and in the end the velcro goes and the straps break. The pair I keep for outdoor wear have been fine, but I'm not undoing them all the time.

I second Merrels
Expensive option and not everyone's cup of tea but Allegria paloma shoes. Amazing support but over £100 a pair.

Thanks, I used to have some fitflops years ago so I'll have to try them again.
I'm not going to find anything cheap am I! 😄

I loved my sketchers til they ruined my feet. They are comfy but long term they are not supportive.
