Benefits of Arch Support Thongs

Published: October 21, 2020

With Spring well and truly here, it's time to think about how your footwear impacts the rest of your body.

Are your thongs offering you enough support?

You'd be surprised at the impact your feet have on the rest of your body! Most thongs or sandals are flat - which offer no support and can lead to strain and stress on the body. Switching to arch support thongs can help with:

  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Correcting posture
  • Better stability and balance
  • Localised foot pain
  • Knee pain
  • Back pain
  • High arched feet

What to wear instead of flat thongs or sandals?

Archies Footwear

Archies Arch Support Thongs look just like ‘normal’ thongs, yet provide the same amount of support of a typical orthotic, providing comfort never before seen in a regular pair of thongs. By addressing many of the issues associated with 'regular' thongs we have re-defined what your pair of thongs ought to be! Podiatrists in particular are finding that Archies Thongs are perfect for their patients when they are not wearing their orthotics, giving their patients a break from their shoes and some much-needed fresh air while still giving them substantial support.

Vasyli Scholl Orthaheel

Vasyli sandals offer a supportive contoured arch support, a biomechanically designed footbed, a deep heel cup for extra support and cushioning to relieve pressure. They are soft and comfortable for everyday use and even has a fabric toe post to prevent rubbing. 

We offer both Archies thongs and Vasyli sandals for both males and females. Feel free to pop into the clinic to try a pair on and don't forget we are open extended hours during the week. Both Archies Thongs and Vasyli sandals come in a range of colours and sizes. 
 
If you think your pain might be due to poor foot biomechanics, book in for a free 20 minute, pain-free Gaitscan to see whether faulty foot function is the cause of your pain.
