When the toes claw down, such as when trying to keep the flip flops on the feet, the arch does not activate correctly which means you do not get the protective support from the arch of the foot like you are supposed to. When the toes bend upwards, this activates the arch of the foot which helps provide protection and support to the vital structures of the feet. Normally when you walk, your toes are supposed to bend upwards. The problem with regular flip flops with a loose strap is that the toes claw down in an attempt to keep the flip flops on the feet. 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: To see how to correctly measure your foot length please click here Please see the image below of acceptable overhang: Again, the most important thing is that the flip flop is comfortable and the orthotic sits in the correct position on the foot. Of course, if your heel is completely over the edge of the heel cup and squashing down on the rim of the flip flop, then that is different, however, some heel overhang is ok. 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.
