Not Your Average Flip Flop
When most people think of flip flops, they picture a thin, flat piece of foam with a rubber thong — the kind you grab at a drugstore for a few dollars before heading to the beach. They're convenient, sure. But they offer virtually no support, and wearing them regularly can contribute to heel pain, arch strain, and plantar fasciitis. Read our full breakdown: Are Flip Flops Bad for Your Feet?
Sootheez Arch Support Flip Flops are a completely different product. They look like flip flops. They feel like flip flops. But underneath, they're engineered with the same foot health principles as a quality orthopedic shoe. So who exactly are they designed for?
Who Benefits Most from Sootheez Arch Support Flip Flops
People with Plantar Fasciitis
This is the most common reason people seek out our arch support flip flops — and the reason they're specifically named for the condition. Plantar fasciitis causes stabbing heel and arch pain, especially with the first steps of the day. The deep contoured footbed and genuine arch support in our flip flops reduce the strain on the plantar fascia with every step, making them a go-to for plantar fasciitis sufferers who still want open-toe footwear. Read our full guide on the best shoes for plantar fasciitis.
People Who Spend Time on Their Feet
Whether you're a nurse, teacher, retail worker, or parent chasing kids around all day, your feet take a beating. Our arch support flip flops are designed to provide real support during extended wear. Read our tips on how to relieve foot pain after standing all day.
Warm-Weather Wearers Who Don't Want to Sacrifice Foot Health
Summer shouldn't mean choosing between comfort and foot health. Our flip flops give you the breathability and ease of open-toe footwear without the flat, unsupportive sole that makes most flip flops problematic.
People Recovering from Foot Injuries
After a foot injury, your podiatrist will often tell you to avoid flat, unsupportive footwear. But closed shoes can feel restrictive and uncomfortable during recovery. Our arch support flip flops offer a supportive, low-impact option that keeps your foot properly aligned while allowing it to breathe.
Anyone with Flat Feet or Low Arches
Flat feet (fallen arches) mean your foot has little to no natural arch, which puts extra stress on the heel, ankle, and knee with every step. The contoured arch support in our flip flops helps compensate for this. Also see our guide on best shoes for women with arch pain.
People with High Arches
High arches create a different problem — the foot doesn't absorb shock as efficiently, putting extra pressure on the heel and ball of the foot. The cushioned EVA footbed in our flip flops helps distribute this pressure more evenly. Learn more about why EVA foam is so effective for cushioning.
Bunion Sufferers
The open design of a flip flop means no compression on the bunion joint — a major relief for people who struggle to find closed shoes that don't aggravate their bunions. Read more about what causes bunions and how footwear can help.
Post-Workout Recovery
After a run, gym session, or long walk, your feet need support — not a flat flip flop that lets them collapse. Slipping into our arch support flip flops after a workout gives your feet the cushioning and alignment they need to recover properly.
