Now that we’ve had our first taste of warmer weather, it’s a timely reminder that summer has arrived. During winter, closed shoes make it easier to give our feet the support they need. Wearing supportive runners or footwear prescribed by your Podiatrist feels far more manageable when our feet aren’t overheating. But once summer hits, things can change quickly.
In summer, most Aussies live in thongs. They’re easy, comfortable and convenient but unfortunately, they don’t provide much support. While it’s simple to be told to wear supportive shoes, the reality is that fully enclosed footwear isn’t always practical in the warmer months.
That’s where finding a middle ground becomes important. Archies look like regular thongs, but they’re designed with built in arch support. This means you can keep your feet cool on hot summer days while still giving them the support they need, especially beneficial for people with flat feet.
With standard thongs, many people find they have to grip or scrunch their toes to keep them on. Over time, this can contribute to issues such as claw toes. Archies fit more securely, allowing the toes to relax naturally.
Even better, Archies soften as you wear them while still maintaining appropriate arch support.
