Product Information

Moreover, there's something to be said about flip-flops that don't lose their fit and support after a few wears. We have worn these for a few years on end, and they’re still in good condition. We also love that the double-layer arch of these sandals doesn’t look chunky and offers supreme support that comes out easily on the beach and boardwalk. Better yet, the layer is made to counter slipping, which is an important factor to own since for flip-flops, there are only straps to keep your feet in place. A cushioned or SACH (Solid Ankle Cushioned Heel) heel is a wedge of compressible rubber that is placed into the heel of a shoe to reduce impact when the wearer takes a step. It also reduces knee movement in the wearer. Heel Wedges

If you are required to stand in the same spot for extended periods of time, then you are harder on your feet than those who walk. By standing you are forcing the same muscles that allow you to move to hold their position. This could cause long-term pain and damage to the foot, ankle, and knee areas. Custom Orthotics will elevate the unnecessary pressure caused from static muscles. What reviewers say: “Not only are these shoes super adorable, but they’re also the most comfortable and versatile shoes I’ve ever had on my feet. I wear them for style, I wear them for swimming, I wear them for hiking. There’s nothing I can’t do in them, and the best part is I can wear them all day without any kind of pain. I’ve never experienced any blisters or rubbing, and even with my plantar fasciitis, my feet are happy for hours of walking and climbing. I would also like to point out that the toe cover offers protection while hiking, and the rugged sole helps prevent slips. They aren’t 100% slip-proof, but what is? The only time I’ve slipped while wearing them was while walking on algae-covered marble slabs in a river, and I’m a pretty adventurous person. These are my favorite shoes and I highly recommend them for all occasions (except maybe a formal event).” It can be a bit challenging to find footwear that is compatible with orthotic inserts. A standard pair of shoes may not be the right choice when you wear a corrective device. At Wide Fit Shoes, we carry a number of styles for men and women which are compatible with orthotics. Outsole: When you're walking on slippery grounds or trailing on uneven terrains, the traction of your sandals' outsole will make or break your steps. "Look for sandals with rubber or non-slip outsoles, as they offer excellent grip and minimize the risk of slips or falls," says Dr. Pledger. Flexible outsoles are also great for walking by allowing for natural foot movement, adds Dr. Pledger.Comfort: Aside from built-in arch support, you should also opt for contoured footbeds in flip-flops. "These features promote a natural arch shape and evenly distribute pressure across the foot, minimizing the likelihood of discomfort or foot conditions," says podiatrist Dr. Daniel Pledger. For men with high arches at the foot or those who spend prolonged periods on their feet, arch support is a must, not just a plus.

Orthopedic sandals also generally provide a more adjustable fit and come in width options and depth options more ideal for foot conditions and using your own orthotics. Uppers– The upper materials should provide a flexible, soft, and wider fit, particularly if you suffer from foot conditions such as hammertoes or bunions. Seamless uppers can also prevent chafing and unnecessary friction against sensitive feet. Stability: To actually be supported in our heel and arch, Board Certified Foot Surgeon Dr. Brad Schaeffer, D.P.M. says it's important to look for a stable footbed. "After all, sandals are not the most supportive thing we can wear on our feet and cannot replace a great shoe and insole," he adds. So look for a footbed that's slightly firm but still feels cushioned enough to nail both stability and comfort.Orthopedic sandals for bunions: Many sandals come in standard and wide-width, and if you have bunions, you’ll want to opt for the latter. People with bunions typically have wide feet, so a sandal with a wide toe box is important, Dr. Cunha says. The Oofos Ooahh Slide Sandal and the MBT Women’s Malia are both great sandals for bunions. Orthopedic sandals for wide feet: Wide feet need a wide toe box, plain and simple. And if you wear shoes or sandals that are too tight (especially around the toes), that can lead to pain, blisters, and even bunions. You’ll also want to look for a firm, durable sole. If you have wide feet, go for the Keen’s Whisper Sandals, a great wide-width orthopedic sandal, or the Chaco Z/2 Classic Sandal and Skechers Men’s Louden Sandals, which come in wide widths. Orthopedic flip flops: Supportive thong sandals are best suited for lunch or walking around town, Fishkin says. Look for a flip-flop that has an anatomically contoured footbed to cushion and support the arch. Arch support can help prevent overpronation and relieve pain, particularly for people with plantar fasciitis. The footbed should naturally mold to the arch of the foot.The top footbed layer should provide excellent cushioning and come with a firm, durable sole and elevated heel lift to correct foot posture to reduce muscle strain and fatigue. Anyone who needs extra arch support, such as those with flat feet, high arches, or plantar fasciitis, will benefit from these stylish sandals. They come in five different colors, such as Aqua, Roze, and Marshmallow that can complement any outfit.
