Supportive flip flops?

[tamiandryan]

I love Chaco flip flops, plus they come in lots of cute colors. I have two pairs that are on their 3rd year of use and they still look new. I have plantars fasciatis and get tendonitis in my knee if I don't wear something with a supportive arch, these have really done the trick for me.

I second the vote on Chaco's. I have had multiple pairs and love them. My Chaco flip flops I have had for 12yrs, they are still awesome. I may need to get them re-soled soon (another benefit of Chaco).

Also a big fan of Keen products.

Both are expensive, but you get what you pay for.

I have worn my Tevas everywhere - in fact I have 2 really worn out pair that I wore to Vegas on 2 separate trips and put who knows how many miles on!

Right now, these are my favorite summer shoes - SUPER supportive. I practically live in them all summer long, and I'm just finishing up my 2nd summer with them:

I love my Nike flip flops they are very comfy for me. I wear them everywhere I can.

Big fans of Keen products here. DH has plantar fasciitis, and the Keens keep him pain free like no other shoe. Love the flip flops with the toe bumpers for extra protection at the parks!

I know people bash Crocs, but I got a pair while at DL this summer and they are great!

I'll second the Crocs. I got a pair of Crocs flip-flops and I have worn them to Disneyland all summer - probably half a dozen times at least - and they've been great. Mine are the Ocean Minded Line, so they don't even say Crocs, and they're a little cheaper than Fanning.

For the past few years I have been wearing a pair of Clarks brown leather flip flops...not just at Disney parks but everywhere! I walked around Europe for two weeks with this babies and had no issues.

Here is a link I found: http://reviews.dsw.com/2752/108242/...her-flip-flop-reviews/reviews.htm?sort=rating

I stumbled upon them for pretty cheap at DSW one day and love them. I'm honestly not sure if they make these exact style anymore but Clarks in general have very supportive shoes and make lots of other flip flops as well, some are a bit "cuter" if that's important to you...

Sadly I know they don't make that particular style anymore. I know this because I LOVED those sandals and I bought up every pair I could when they stopped making them. They were the only flat-heeled, leather flip-flops I could find that had good arch support and didn't look like athletic sandals. Because of the leather, they were just barely "dressy" enough to look nice with a skirt.

I now wear the Clarks "Latin" series sandals (exact name changes from summer to summer). They have a low heel, which turns out to be better for my Achilles tendonitis. (Picture: http://www.amazon.com/Clarks-Womens-Latin-Samba-Sandal/dp/B003US43NO) Cute in a middle-aged-lady sort of way and slightly dressy. Great arch support. I get a lot of compliments on them.

Clarks are literally the only sandals I've ever been able to wear all day in the theme parks without wanting to cut my feet off!

I know people bash Crocs, but I got a pair while at DL this summer and they are great! They are the Mickey-head flip Crocs and so comfy. I got one blister between my toes on the first day I wore them, but that was it. I get plantars fasciitis sometimes, so I know good shoes for my feet and these do the trick!

I know they are sort of hideous, but Crocs are very supportive. I also have plantars facscilitis issues and I can wear the Crocs with no orthodics. I need to stick with the Beach series for some reason. I can't deal with wearing sandals that go between my toes anymore.
