Orthotic Flip Flop FAQs
Do your orthotic flip flops provide support for flat feet?
Yes. Unlike standard flat flip-flops that offer no structural integrity, our range includes orthotic flip flops specifically designed to support the arches of the feet and correct over-pronation.
Are your flip flops designed to help plantar fasciitis?
Yes, our orthotic flip flops can help those with plantar fasciitis. Unlike standard flat flip flops, ours feature built-in biomechanical arch support and cushioned heels to relieve pressure on the plantar fascia and reduce pain with every step.
What makes your ‘thong’ style flip flops different from cheaper alternatives?
Our arch support thongs are engineered with medical-grade biomechanics. While most ‘thong’ style flip-flops are made of flimsy foam, the best arch support thongs feature a contoured footbed and a deep heel cup to stabilise the foot.
Are these sandals suitable for long-distance walking?
While flip-flops are generally for leisure, our men’s and women's walking sandals with arch support are designed for much higher durability and comfort than standard beachwear.
Do you offer different styles for men and women?
Absolutely. We carry a wide variety of designs, ranging from men's orthopedic sandals with wider footbeds to sleek sandals for ladies with arch support. Whether you are looking for ladies flip flops with arch support for the beach or mens arch support flip flops for casual wear, we have a style to fit. We also have a range of unisex styles designed to fit anyone.
Are FootActive's range of both men's and women's sandals with arch support suitable for long walks?
Yes. Wearing supportive options like arch support slide sandals or dedicated walking flip flops makes extended walking far more comfortable than flat, unsupportive footwear. By incorporating dense shock absorption, these designs prevent heel fatigue and keep your gait natural.
Where can I find stylish orthopaedic sandals in the UK that aren't bulky?
Finding fashionable orthopaedic flip-flops no longer means sacrificing foot health. Today, you can easily find stylish orthopaedic sandals UK shoppers love, alongside lightweight ergonomic sandals that conceal podiatrist-approved support beneath sleek straps and low-profile soles. If you are searching for the best arch support sandals UK ladies trust for summer holidays, FootActive delivers elegant, supportive designs that prioritise complete foot health without looking bulky.
I have high arches; will these work for me?
Yes. Our footwear is designed to fill the gap between your foot and the ground. Our men’s and women's flip flops with arch support provide a consistent contact point for the sole of the foot, redistributing pressure and preventing the arch from collapsing or straining.
