It’s nearly summer, which means it’s time to whip out your warm weather shoe collection. Whether you’re hitting up the beach, going to the pool, or just want a new pair of flip flops, this pair is universally adored by its 45,000 fans on Amazon.
These flip flops are supportive, sweat resistant, and somehow, extremely adorable. They’re marked down less than $40 during the Amazon Big Spring Sale, so it’s a great time to get your own pair. There are 24 colors to choose from across women’s sizes 6-11. Each features a black base, but you can pick the color that best speaks to you.
What makes these sandals so great?
We don’t often associate “strong arch support” and “plantar fasciitis relief” with flip flops, but here we are. This pair is the holy grail of comfort, according to shoppers. This pair of flip flops was made to be supportive, particularly for those who have achy dogs.
The Aerothotic sandals have a cushioned toe post to prevent blisters, padded lining on the heel to increase comfort, and a deep heel cup that cradles the heel. They’re a big step up from your standard flip flops, especially when they’re on sale for less than $40.
What do reviewers say about these ortho-friendly sandals?
Reviewers tend to love these sandals, but they all share one common complaint.
Pros
“I am not exaggerating when I say these are the only shoes I wear,” one reviewer raves. “I have them in every single color! The arch support is incredible, especially if you’re on your feet a lot, and they didn't require any "break-in" period at all. The straps are soft and don't rub, which is rare for a flip-flop. They look stylish enough to wear out with a sundress but are comfortable enough to wear as house slippers. I hope they never stop making these!”
This reviewer isn’t alone; other shoppers say they “hug your heel like a glove” and similarly own more than one pair.
Cons
Both reviewers and the brand itself warn that you’ll need to size up when purchasing. The sandals tend to be narrow (likely due to the cupped edges), so for optimal comfort, you’ll want to size up, especially if you have wide feet.
Do you need these sandals?
If you love spending time at the beach, but hate wearing flat flip flops, this pair could be a great addition to your wardrobe. They provide solid arch support and may help keep your feet comfortable as you walk around this summer.
