Best flip flops with arch support?

[Muchtoomuchtodo]

As I’m getting older I’m finding that I get knee pain if I wear standard, flat flip flops so I’m looking for something with a bit of arch support.

I’ve seen FitFlops and Archie’s footwear.

Does anyone have any experience of either of these or can suggest another similar brand?

I love my fitflops - had them for years and they're so comfortable. Haven't tried Archies.

I've tried both - both are better than regular flip flops, but I much prefer the archies from a support perspective. I imagine it may well come down to the shape of your feet though. I find the arch support bit in the fit flops isn't quite in the right place for my very high arches, but is in the right place in the archies.

I love my fit flops. Haven't tried Archies. You probably need to trial both to see which suit.

I’ve not seen Archies anywhere to try on. The arch support in the FitFlops that I tried on did feel in an odd position but I thought I’d just have to get used to it.

I really like Archies (haven't tried fitflops)

I need arch support. I love Fitflop trainers but I can't wear the flip flops at all. They just don't seem to support my feet in the right places.n

On me the arch support in fit flops is perfect. I wouldn't settle for second best. Have you tried looking for Archies on Ebay?

Crocs!!!

They don't have arch support but I find the Crocs flip flops very comfortable. They suit my wide feet too.

I have archies flip flops and think they're great. Have tried fit flops

I have some Sketchers go walk flip flops which are very supportive and very comfortable. ( I too have creaky knees!)

I have archies and they are very comfortable for my plantar faciitis prone feet.
They did take a bit of wearing in though, the first couple of wears I felt like my arches were bruised afterwards while the sole molded to my shape.

I have the crocs flip flops and love them. My DH brought back some Archies from Australia but they are really heavy. He's gone back to his crocs!

Another vote for crocs. Had some for recent hols and lived in them, so comfortable!

I have the FitFlop iqushion 2 buckle sandals and they are perfect, a bit stiff to start with but once the foam/rubber has been worn a few times they soften up. I wore them all round Paris and Versailles in June with no issues.

Love my Archies flip flops. I have plantar fasciitis and can't walk around barefoot so I wear them around the house in summer (when it's too hot for slippers or trainers). They are comfortable and supportive.

Back door shoes do clogs and flip flops with an arch support. I wear mine loads to help with plantar fasciitis.

My go to is the plastic Birkenstocks Arizona. They come in 2 widths.

i love FitFlops, they were a game changer for me

I have plantar fasciitis and have had fit flops, sketchers, Birkenstocks and Archie’s. Archie’s are without a doubt the best. I have both the flip flops and the sliders and can walk for miles in them with no pain.

I wear Hoka recovery flip flops - they seem supportive although colour choices atm are just orange or black.

Crocs flip flops, comfiest ever and supportive. Mine are years old and my feet didn't ache after Disneyworld (20k steps a day)

Archie’s flip flops and sliders here and can confirm they are really supportive and probably the most comfortable I’ve tried. They’re expensive but worth it for me.

I always wear Vionic flipflops as they have such good arch support.

I love FitFlops, a friend swears by Vionic. I think it depends on how badly you need the arch support. Unfortunately, trying on in store doesn't really help as you'll only know once you've worn them for a while.
