Flip-flops and Sandals
Finally, you can now purchase flip-flops, (more commonly known as thongs for your feet in Australia), and sandals which provide the feet with a greater degree of support than just your plain old flip flops. Previously, the only sandals which offered some degree of arch support were the Birkenstock sandals. Unfortunately, this was all shoe companies offered consumers until NOW! NEWS FLASH... NEW FLIP FLOP STYLES and COLOURS AVAILABLE...We have just two images of styles available on this page but we now have a range of flip flops that even my 16 year old daughter would wear. They look good!Here are just some examples of the style of footwear and sandals available:

Now the support of open footwear has improved. Podiatry Care and Orthaheel are now offering flip flops (thongs) and sandals which are not only better in regards to support, but they are also more reasonably priced and offer an alternative to the conventional and expensive Birkenstock sandals.I tried the thongs out myself and I know one thing is certain - I will never go back to wearing normal flat thongs again. These sandals are so much more comfortable than your normal flip flops which generally have no arch support. The arch support is what makes them so comfortable. They're a great option if you suffer with heel pain and like to walk around without shoes. For more information on
