Comfortable sandals with arch support.

I would look here - putting "arch support " in the search term box:

I have some really comfortable Vionic sandals from here.

Skechers do arch support shoes and sandals

Skechers all day long.

Skechers are my go to.

Thank you, will google.

I would not choose Skechers as I feel they don't offer the ankle support necessary for healthy feet.

I don't have a particular brand to recommend either. My priorities in buying sandals are that they have a slight heel but not a wedge, this allows for movement in the sole that is better for your foot.

That they are well cushioned to prevent impact strain on the joints further up the leg, especially the knees.

That they have a good, easy fastener of some kind to keep the foot stable inside the sandal.

They look good!

You would be surprised how difficult this kind of sandal is to find at a reasonable price!

Do any make of sandals have ankle support??

Skechers for me as well.

I'm a Vionic fan. They are expensive but if you watch how they align your foot and ankle bones correctly it makes them a winner for me.

Birkenstock sandals work for me. They have a moulded footbed that supports the arch and they come in various colours and styles.

Exactly Elless I have Vionic and wouldn't buy Skechers as they are just too squishy I think to give proper support.
Definitely comfy for now-and -then use though.

If you have correct support for the foot that supports the ankles. If you don't the ankles will suffer, and so upwards to the rest of the leg including the knees. Maybe I wasn't clear enough on this.

Skechers don't offer good support for the foot.

OP asked about arch support and I am trying to say that footwear should support the whole foot, as well as the arches.

People, particulaly women, don't realise the damage they are causing to the joints in the long term by wearing badly designed shoes.

I have learned this lesson to my cost, including wearing Skechers and flats for many years.

Try Hotter. If you look at the weekend there may be deals that are not available in the week!

I used to love Skechers but my podiatrist is very critical of them saying they are too flexible.
She recommended shaped cork footbed sandals and I've got some from Moshulu

Thank you keepingquiet.

I will look at Moshulu cork footbed

I see here that the request is for recommendations for 'shoes or sandals' that can be worn in comfort all day. The OP doesn't say what kind of foot problems she has, but my DH's experience in searching for new shoes may just be helpful on this thread.

There's lots of common sense on this thread and I'd agree that having soft or squidgy shoes or sandals might feel very good, but feet do need proper support. Totally flat shoes, especially for women, are not considered sensible for all day wear. Again, comfortable, but something with a low heel is better and more in line with the way that most of us walk. I have some fabulous sheepskin slippers for winter. I only wear them sitting down as to stand in something totally flat all day only results in my suffering ankle pain for a few days!

My DH has had two TKR's in 2 years. Totally successful and he's worked hard with the aftercare to ensure that he became painfree and happy with New Knees!

Then week after week, month after month until recently, niggling pain - like nerve pain - in one of his feet would wake him in the night after a few hours rest. This would mean he had to get up and take paracetamol to stop pain on top of his foot sometimes, under the foot sometimes. It rather spoilt the success of his surgery because from time to time in the day, it would make him decide against a long walk or intrude into all his activities.

Finally, and why do we often just put up with things for so long, he spoke to his Surgeon who examined his foot/feet and recommended an X ray and a Podiatrist. Routine examination, lots of walking on various machinery, video-d steps, his manner of walking, sheets of measurements and results spilling out of all sorts of technology offered the diagnosis.

He has nice straight legs now, but he has flat feet together with extremely high arches. Result? At his age, it's a fact that his arches are just no longer strong enough to support, all day, two feet which are flat. This means that he 'pays' for much activity or even inactivity with nerve pain and persistent aches which can wake him when sleeping and don't allow him guaranteed comfort in shoes or sandals.

Orthotics (specially constructed insoles) were the answer. Not cheap but probably better than constantly looking for different shoes or having precious sleep disturbed on an almost nightly basis.

They were 3-D printed. This means nothing to me, but hopefully this makes sense. Delivered within a week. Podiatrist said give them a fortnight or so and wear them every day in any shoes (easy to slip in and out when changing shoes).

The result is he no longer has pain, life is back to normal and he just wishes he had done something more proactive earlier. Maybe after lots of surgery, one has had more than enough, but he recommends similar research to anyone with foot problems. They are so difficult to diagnose. We all need our feet to work well and to support us in our daily lives. Hopefully this information may encourage others to learn a slightly different way of walking and make the small adjustments needed for an easier life.

I should have said 'wear them for a fortnight or so' and in order to see decent results. But continue to use them always !

Fit flops are light and easy to wear .

I agree. They are light and wonderful on the feet.

Grandmafrench I suppose they are quite thin?
The thicker ones (which were made for my husband) were not a good fit in many shoes.

The Fitflops I recently purchased turned out to be the most horribly uncomfortable footwear I've ever bought. At first they felt great, but it was after a couple of days they caused serious damage to one of my toes and were generally extremely hot and unbearablely uncomfortable.
They don't breathe, so in hot weather my poor feet became very hot indeed.
I left them on wall with a notice... FREE PLEASE TAKE.
I would not have sent them to a charity shop as I wouldn't want anyone else to waste their money on them.

I like Vionic too, QVC often have them at discount prices.

NotSpag. Yes but sometimes used instead of the original insole.

I have Sketchers but although comfortable not very supportive. I have specially made orthotics but I cannot use them in any shoe other than lace ups, I lost one it just came out, a costly mistake. Would like to get Vionic but i like to try on and cannot find a stockist.
I have had a broken foot, left me with a weak ankle plus i have had Plantar Facilitis.
