Not to be blunt, but I hate flip-flops. I’ve never been a fan of the piece that goes between my toes, and this definitely bummed me out, since I always loved the way they looked — I just didn’t love the way they felt.
As a shopping editor who’s constantly keeping tabs on what celebrities are wearing, I decided to give flip-flops one final try, considering they’ve been at the forefront of fashion this summer. While heeled and platform options have become all the rage, I figured I’d try a style that’s a bit tamer, so I tested the go-to pick in both Jennifer Aniston’s and Katie Holmes’ closets: the Arch Support Flip-Flops from Archies.

Anyone who lives in a city can attest to the large amounts of walking, and since I also have a dog, I’m on my feet even more. I’m always in dire need of an easy slip-on shoe, and for years, I was never reaching for flip-flops — until now. After trying the best-selling Archies pair, my outlook on the thong-style sandal has officially changed.
From first wear, they were comfortable right out of the box, and I immediately took them for a spin around the block to walk my dog without a single blister in sight — and for the piece between my toes? It isn’t the least bit irritating; to say I was shocked and thoroughly impressed would be a huge understatement.
After spotting Jennifer Aniston and Katie Holmes wearing the same style this year, I knew I had to give them a try. The sleek flip-flops are unlike any other flat styles I’ve tried over the years. The 1-inch orthotic arch is minimal, but makes a world of difference in comfort, and, according to the brand, the stretchable strap is designed to prevent the foot from overusing its muscles and tendons while walking. Plus, the foam material molds to your feet for a custom fit — seriously, what more could I ask for in a sandal?
I’m so excited to finally have found a pair that’s on-trend, feels comfortable, and offers the support I need for long days on my feet. I currently own the brown shade, but I’m also eyeing them in more colors to keep in my summer rotation.
