We’ve got pretty high standards when it comes to comfort.
And typical flat flip flops just weren’t up to scratch.
So we put our heads together and created Archies Arch Support Flip Flops.
So comfy, your patients will never want to take them off
Founded and designed by an Australian Physiotherapist, Archies are now the flip flop thousands of the world’s leading speciality running stores, podiatrists, physiotherapists and health practitioners recommend to their patients.
Give your customers a pair of arch support flip flops that will support them this Summer.
They will thank you for it!
The newest edition to the Archies lineup has just been announced.
By combining key designing features we have re-imagined what flip flops are.
Archies Arch Support Flip Flops look just like ‘normal’ flip flops, yet provide the same amount of support of a typical orthotic, providing comfort beyond what is thought possible in a regular flip flop.
This is why Archies Flip Flops are the choice for many of Australia’s elite athletes and recommended by thousands of Australia's leading Physiotherapists and Podiatrists.
Ask our customers and their happy feet!
After a serious leg injury and years of pain I could no longer work 12 hours a day standing on a concrete floor. Archie thongs have alowed me to work long hours again with no knee, ankle or leg pain. I can’t thank Archie thongs enough and feel pain as soon as I wear anything else. Money well spent!!! Highly recommend. 🙌🏼👌🏻
Read moreI have had acute Plantarfasiitis in both feet for about 18 months and have had every treatment available but my feet are always in pain no matter what I do.I came across Archie arch support thongs while on holidays and wow instant comfort they are on my feet first thing in the morning until I get dressed for work then as soon as I return work shoes off and my Archies are on ,I can't believe how comforting they are it's such a relief to put them on when I get home. If only I could wear them to work !
Read moreI've not been able to wear thongs for years; neuropathy in both feet and also plantar fasciitis in one, as well. Just did a trip to Singapore and Vietnam; fantastic to be able to walk around those streets without any issue of foot discomfort. I have an indoor pair and an outdoor pair. Brilliant!!
Read moreBrilliant.... only regret is I didn’t purchase these years ago.
Read moreI did not have high expectations and I have to say I am impressed. These are not your normal thong flops. The arch truly does support and the flops form to your foot as you wear them. I will be ordering another pair! I wear my black pair with everything. I ordered my normal shoe size and it fit very well! LOVE them! I wish more shoes offered sorry like these do. Fan for life right here!
Read moreThese are far better than I honestly anticipated. I love my first pair so much I bought two more pair in other colors. They have the arch support they claim, AND, I don't feel like I'm having to fight to keep them on my feet. Some flip flops are exhausting. These aren't those. Highly recommend.
Read moreWhen I first walked into my podiatrist's office wearing regular flat flip-flops last summer she said, "Please tell me you don't wear those all the time." Sadly, I did wear them all the time in warm weather and they were exacerbating my heel and ankle pain. I was given an insert to wear in my closed toe shoes, but searched for a few months to find a flip-flop that would be equally healthy for my feet as they would be cute and stylish. I found them with Archies Footwear. From a quick glance, you can't tell that they are orthopedic sandals. But when I wear them all day long to the park, beach or out running errands, I notice that my feet feel good at the end of the day unlike how regular flip-flops use to make my feet hurt. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants heel support or arch support. They even help my toes feel better too. I love them
Read moreHaving had the discomfort of plantar fasciitis for a few months now and I have found that these Archies thongs actually work as advertised. A welcome relief! They were a little tight initially but now they are worn in after only a couple of days, and I find they give relief. I look forward to getting home each day and getting my hot feet out of my work shoes and slip into my cool Archies thongs. Many thanks on a great product

For our patients with low back pain, hip and knee complaints or foot problems such as plantar fasciitis it is imperative that they have supportive footwear so that they don't aggravate their condition. Archies are the perfect solution for those patients in the warmer months.

We love Archies – Flip Flops with Arch Supports! We have been looking for a cost effective solution for
flip flops with arch support for years. When I found out Archies became a partner of FYZICAL, I gave
them a call about their product. Archies Corporate support has been great. They helped us get
started! They helped with product training, ordering our supply, how to display the product and
training us on how to promote the product. Pretty much a turnkey operation. To get my staff to buy
in, I did the following: 1) each employee got a free pair of Archies, 2) each employee got a free
pedicure, 3) during the first week we were selling Archies our employees wore their Archies at work
and 4) all purchases were 15% off the $35.00 price. Two to three weeks after we started selling
Archies, we placed our second order. I love wearing the product! This is a good product, good price
point and a good ROI! You should consider having this product in your office.
The primary benefit has been the ability to get patients into thongs that have some support rather than flat thongs. Patients are happy to wear these over traditional arch support thongs. Having Archies in the clinic has allowed us to recommend them at the point of sale, so patients don't have to go to another shop to find them. Personally I have never been able to wear thongs. With the comfort of Archies I feel I am more than willing to recommend them to patients

I never recommend the normal flat rubber thongs and I believe them harm people’s posture and mechanics. Archie’s are an amazing alternative due to the arch as well as the right strap
I couldn’t be happier with the product and service of Archie’s. I recommend to everyone and wear them myself!

I have noticed the impact the online presence of the advertising, with many new customers coming in to purchase Archies based off Facebook and Instagram advertisements.
I have also found the store locator to be a fantastic way for people to come into the clinic for Archies

In opening my new practice in April (2019) I had put off ordering my first batch of Archies, as I was planning to order ready for summer later in the year. However, within the first week of opening no fewer than 3 different walk-ins all asked if I had Archies! Needless to say, I therefore put through my first Archies order. I sell a large amount of Archies directly to people ringing and walking-in, who have found us listed as a stockist on the Archies website. Some people have walked in and asked for 3 different colors, all in the same size and simply gone on their way; and this is in an Adelaide winter! They have been particularly good to on-sell to patients who need something to wear first thing in the morning or around the house when they don’t have their appropriate shoes + orthoses on. They are super easy to order, super easy to sell and take no time at all to fit. All marketing materials are easily accessible from the website and the company are super responsive to deal with. They are an easy boost to your normal clinical sales, from what are really only modest outlays to purchase in. I am very glad to be stocking Archies and I am looking forward to my first summer with them in stock. They could not be any easier to sell, for the most part they sell themselves.

From the moment the Archies thongs and display stand arrived in store we were off and racing. The brand recognition combined with their fantastic social media advertising resulted in many phone calls and sales from day one. Now all the staff are very comfortable with the product and find this an easy sale add on to any other footwear purchase.
Highly recommend the Archies product and the team behind the brand make everything seem so easy.
Love it.
Archies has exceeded our initial expectations from the early days when we had customer enquiries. It is now in our top category of branded footwear we carry and due to the amazing marketing Archies has done they sell super easy and amazing the broad age groups it has appealed to. Their customer service is exceptional and a pleasure to work with.

No worries, each approved stockist receives a FREE sample pair to try on for themselves. We are sure that you'll love them!
Archies Footwear sizing runs very true to your standard running shoe size. We suggest selecting your standard size or measuring your foot length.
Fit of Archies Flip Flops
Keep in mind that our flip flops should “fit like a glove” with very little space in front of the toes and behind the heels. See The Perfect Fit Video
Fit of Archies Slides
Our slides have a more relaxed fit than our flip flops but with the same amount of arch support. See The Perfect fit for Archies Slides video
If you already have a pair of our flip flops, follow these sizing tips:
You can also measure your footlength and use the size guide below
How to measure your footlength
Half Sizes
Once more, it’s best to measure your footlength and use the size for the biggest foot (if your feet are different lengths).
Narrow feet: If you’re a half size and have narrow feet, we recommend that you size down.
Wide feet: If you’re a half size and have wide feet, we recommend that you size up.
Use our size charts below to find your ideal Archies Size. Please note, the foot length is based on cm, please use a converter to find the approximate length in in.
