Sorry, flip flops! Archie's, Fit Flop or Gumbies?

I've had Gumbies before, loved them, but older and fatter and may be misremembering.
I need some that I can walk far in without toe clawing.
I suppose stylish would be good. But I quite like the Gumbies vibe too

What wound you buy?

Archies 💯.
they are a game changer, I swapped from gumbies a couple of years ago and now have 6 pairs!!
they do have a 60 day return if you don’t like them, but I’ve never heard of anyone sending them back.

Archie’s are the best flip flops which stay on your feet without any toe gripping.

OOFOS also are great.

Another Archies fan here! Think if you buy two pairs you get a discount? I don't have flat feet but find them really supportive and can wear them all day with no issues

Archie’s definitely, I pretty much live in mine at the moment

I bought Archie's, love them, have barely taken them off
Thank you!

I can recommend the Archie's Sliders too. Just done a long holiday with a lot of walking and they were amazingly comfortable.

Archie’s…supportive and so comfortable, I have the slides but I first saw them in Australia when my daughter was wearing the flip flops, she recommended.

Archies sliders. I've got plantar fasciitis and tenderness in my Achilles tendons due to doing tap and ballet classes and they have been a godsend.

Archie's! Once you get used to the arch support, you'll never take them off.

I've got Lightfeet - they are a slightly cheaper version of Archie's. I have 6 pairs in different colours and live in them. Can walk miles in them too!

Archie lovers. Are they true to size?

I find them true to size.

Archies are true to size. I am a size 8; and that's what I'm wearing right now.
I love them. Had them on all day walking round London with no issues.

Wearing my Archie’s now. Well one of my pairs. They are great.
