Archie’s Thongs (supportive sandals)
What it is
Casual, supportive sandals with arch and heel support — a step up from flat flip-flops.
Who it helps / When to consider
People with plantar heel pain, flat feet, or general foot fatigue
Those needing supportive casual footwear for daily errands
Key benefits
Improved arch support and shock absorption
Reduces strain on plantar fascia, knees and hips
Comfortable for standing/walking short distances
Physio role
We assess foot posture and gait, recommend appropriate everyday footwear (and orthotics if needed), and give strengthening/stretching to complement the shoe.
Quick practical tips
Wear them in gradually rather than all day at first.
Not a replacement for running shoes — avoid heavy activity in thongs.
Match the arch support to your foot type (we can test this).
