Stride in comfort and confidence🩴
Rainbow is one of Dr. Schaeffer’s go-to brands when it comes to flip flops for those with flat feet. This pair features closed-cell memory foam that allows the midsole to mold to the contour of your foot as you wear it over time.
Rather than collapsing, it will just get more and more comfortable over time—which is a game-changer. It also comes in a variety of colors.“I am flat footed and over-pronate and one of my legs is 1/4 inches longer than the other, thus throwing off my hips which causes pain if I don’t wear good shoes when walking for long periods…but these flip flops prevent me from ending up in pain! They have a well defined and strongin my foot… I would highly recommend these shoes for anyone with finicky legs or feet like myself,” — Amazon customer.The classic Birkenstock brand is another favorite of Dr. Schaeffer’s. If you’re spending a lot of time by the water, this waterproof pair—which has a contoured footbed for adequate support—is a great choice. It’s light and flexible, too, which is much more comfortable on fallen arches opposed to traditional, stiff midsoles.“These flip flops are by far the cutest and most comfy I’ve ever tried. I normally don’t wear flip flops, except to get a pedicure, because I need some arch support. I was super excited when I tried these on because I love Birks and have distressed many over the years by wearing them in the rain or at the beach,” — Zappos customer.Vionic has a podiatrist-approved goldmine of flip flops that those with flat feet won’t want to take off.

The rainbow of colors they come available in certainly don’t hurt either.This is my ninth pair of Vionic sandals and they didn’t disappoint. I love the little cutouts to liven up the plain Tides and the colors are great. I have plantar fasciitis and a heel spur and thought I would never be able to wear cute flip flops or sandals again. My doctor recommended Vionics and I’m back to loving summer again!” — Vionic customer.Flat feet or not, you’re bound to live in these cloud-like flip flops from Oofos.

The Comfort Slide sandals by Adidas is soft all over, maximizing comfort without undermining any support. Slip ’em on while you’re padding around your house for a sweet treat on your feetI love my Adidas flip flops!
