Supportive flip-flops?

LeeLee930

Spring is here and my toes need to be free!  I am a HUGE flip-flopper, anything from the $2.00 specials from Old Navy to metallic leather from Nine West. 

I want to get flippers that are sturdier and more supportive (if that's even possible) than what I wear normally.  Any suggestions?

I love my Nike flip-flops. They are very cushy. They still hurt my arch every once in a while, but all flip-flops do that. They are all I wear during the warm months.

I really like Rocket Dogs flip flops.  You can get them at DSW.  But I wore some flip flops (not Rocket Dogs) and by the end of the day my feet were so swollen.  So wear them with care.

im right there with you with the old navy flip flops. i wore them to the mall last weekend and my feet hurt so bad i defiantly need to find a more supportive flip flop

My mom has this sandal : wont let me paste a picture but they are from macys. She swears they are comfortable to walk in i just cant bring myself to spending 50$

I've never worn these specific ones...but I would imagine they're more supportive than the normal thin flip flops.  I love all my other Reefs, so I can't imagine these being bad!

I like the Reef brand of flip flops.  I have 2 pairs and I wear them all the time.

I like Cheeks by Tony Little.  You can buy from his website or HSN & QVC will run specials where you can get 2 pairs for $20 or something like that.  Really comfy/supportive and lots of color choices.

Teva makes a regular flip-flop that's pretty supportive and they come in a bunch of different colors/patterns.

I also like the Reefs and have a few pairs.

Best investment I have ever made! I buy a black pair and a brown pair ... They last me 3 years or so and I wear them all the time (wearing my black pair today!) amazing! A++ in comfort and cushion

 Chacos are great too! They have an indestructible soul...I have had mine for almost 8 years now and they still look brand new, the treads on the bottom aren't even slightly worn... they aren't very "cushy" like reefs, but they last forever literally. A++ on being well made.

 Sanuk Yoga flips are my favorite for comfort! They are made out of actual yoga mats! You can get them at Buckle, Dillards, Macy and a lot of other stores.

wow, thanks for posting this!!

I wore some leather flipflops instead of heels to host a baby shower in last Saturday, thought I was being so smart...the bottoms of my feet felt BRUISED until about wednesday. It seriously hurt to walk around the house, and I had to wear tennis shoes to work all week so they could heal. OUCH!

I would spend the extra $ and go with chacos or earth shoes. They are really good for support and comfort. Right now you need support (especially when your ankles start to get affected by the loosening up of the ligaments, right?).

I have chaco sandals and they are super ugly, but MAN I can walk in them for a long time and not have my feet hurt at ALL.

I just ordered a pair of Croc flip-flops and they are SO comfy.  Even the thin, flatter ones they offer make walking so much easier!

I forgot I have a pair of grey croc flats that I bought a few years ago. My husband HATES them, but I wore them all over Germany/Italy without any pain in my feet!

Once it gets warm I live in my birkenstocks. best thing is they will be fine to wear this year since they are adjustable and my swollen feet and not liking anything else.

these are my 2 favorites that I have:

i usually see what QVC has onsale when I need a new pair, but these have lasted me for years.

I second the Reef flips, or Teva Mush.  I wear my Teva's to work now because they have such great arch support.  I swear my arches started hurting more around week 20-ish.  Or, I break out my Birkenstocks, which now come in cute patterns and styles.  I'm all about arch support and comfort now!

I'm a huge Rainbows fan.  They need to be worn to break in, which can be uncomfy, but afterward they are totally molded to your foot like an orthotic.  They are pricey but last for years.  I have my first pair that I have been wearing for nearly 4 years.  DH is also due for a new pair, but again has been wearing them for nearly 4 years.

eta:  I prefer the double thick colored leather over the other options.  Definitely go for the double thick - it makes a huge difference in the comfort.

My J-Crew flip flops are the most comfy I have ever found They even have them at the outlets if you have one by you
