Your Questions About Sandals With Arch Support
Thomas asks…
Looking for comfortable gladiator sandals?
I’m looking for a pair of nice, stylish gladiator sandals that have good support. I find all nice gladiator sandals are flat and therefore offer no arch support and hurt my knees and back so much. Do you know any brands that make really nice looking gladiator sandals with support?

How to pick Summer shoes or sandals with good support to avoid feet from spreading and swelling?
I’ve just realized that walking around in sandals has been making my feet swell up..
I’ve been wearing the Cozumel style Birkenstocks for the past 2 years and I’ve just realized that wearing such an open shoe isn’t so good for walking around with..
I notice that my feet spread and swell up when I wear those kinds of open shoes.. And from there on, I guess that the fluids collect in my legs but that there is nothing or no pressure to bring them back up in the same way that wearing a sneaker or a more structured shoe would do..
Knowing this much will help me to pick out a better sandal for the Summer, I think..
So I am shopping around for a new sandal and I am curious on what to look for, I’m hoping to find something kind of stylish as well so I’m trying to pinpoint the qualities of what makes a supportive walking shoe for the summer..
I think that maybe something that covers almost the whole foot but exposes only the heel and toe would work well for support?
I used to go by “arch support” that but now I’m convinced that the foot needs more than just arch support in the Summer especially when you’re walking around alot.. The foot needs to be held or hugged by something I suppose?
Is anyone experienced in this area?

Steven asks…
I’ve just been told I have plantar fasciitis & need arch support. But I HATE shoes!!! Any suggestions?
I will NOT wear anything all day that “traps” my toes.
Are there good sandals out there with good support?
Is there a way I can wrap my arch, heel & ankle up so I don’t have to wear shoes all day?
What about the various arch supports at drug stores?
Which ones work the best & which are worthless?
HELP!
It’s not too bad yet & I don’t want it to get too bad!

Hi there
the real cure for your foot pain is to stretch your foot and calf muscle while you sleep! Its called a night splint and it is specifically for heel, arch, and achillies tendon pain.
I can get you one if you cant find it
Best,
Spencer Weisbond, C.Ped.

Oh boy…I have flat feet,and I too also hate wearing shoes,so I know exactly what you’re talking about.
Here are some solutions:
- Tape your arches.To do this,place a strip of athletic tape around your heel that goes up the side of your foot on both sides until the end of your arch.Then,take strips of tape and tape your arch up…Start at one side of the foot and pull across so you feel the arch being pulled up.Do this for your entire arch.You don’t need to go all around your foot,it just has to be high enough up on it to stay in place.
- For sandals,Birkenstocks are great shoes for arch support.Reefs,Rainbows,and Tevas are also pretty good.Even Crocs make sandals,or the regular ones are also good.
- In terms of arch supports…I’ve tried pretty much every type of drugstore brand,and the only ones that I found to be at all helpful were the Dr. Scholl’s sport ones and Airplus insoles.Neither of these are too expensive,and they both help.
David asks…
Shoes w/ good arch support?
Any suggestions on some shoes with good arch-support?
and
Is there a sandal(ex: flipflops) out there w/o totally flat soles?
MonroyPro answers:
Dansko (www.dansko.com) and Chaco (www.chacousa.com) both have excellent arch support.
Dansko makes dressier sandals (and shoes). Styles like the Monika, Sela, and Sissy will have the highest arch. Many people find that once they try Dansko, that’s all they wear.
For flip flops and sport sandals, you can’t beat Chaco. Every Chaco sandal has a biometric footbed. This includes a high, supportive arch and a stabilizing heel cup. Their flip flops are the most supportive on the market.
Www.comfortableshoes.com has a good selection from both brands.
