Both podiatrists and customers alike, absolutely love this feature as it allows them to walk with a normal walking motion, often over impressive distances in comfort, and without issue! The good news is, while a tight strap is essential for normal foot function, if the strap is too tight it is very easy to instantly fix this by stretching the strap and toe pole to reach your desired level of tightness. Please see the image below of normal overhang.Īrchies Flip Flops have been designed with a tighter strap compared to normal flip flops.
If you have a particularly wide foot, we recommend choosing one size up. We find that most people, even those with wider feet can fit into the flip flops without issue, once they adjust the straps to suit their foot. The reason for this, is so the foot is held securely in the flip flop and the orthotic sits in the correct position under the foot. Our flip flops have been designed to be slightly narrower fitting than regular flip flops. Please see the image below of too much overhang:

It is important to note, that it is not a concern if some of the back edge of the heel hangs over the edge of the flip flop (as per the below image). The reason we encourage you to wear your Archies nice and snug is so the orthotic sits in the correct position under the foot. Before ordering we recommend you check out o ur size guide. In terms of length, the flip flops were designed with a reasonably ‘snug / tight’ fit in mind.
