Signature Arch Support. Secure Fit. Everyday Comfort That Moulds to Your Feet.

The Archies Original Arch Support Slides combine the convenience of an everyday slide with built-in arch support, a wide upper strap and a contoured foam footbed designed to become more personalised with wear.

Designed by a physiotherapist, Archies use specialised built-in arch support rather than a traditional flat footbed. The brand describes its slides as having the same signature arch support as its Original Thongs, measuring up to approximately 2.2 cm.

The closed-cell foam footbed gradually adapts to your foot shape, while the wide strap and heel cradle help keep your foot positioned within the slide. A slightly elevated heel completes the contoured design.

Signature arch support

Unlike a traditional flat slide, Archies have integrated arch support built directly into the footbed.

The shaped footbed provides a defined contour beneath the arch. Archies describes this as its signature support, carried across from the Original Thongs into a slide-on design. How the support feels will vary with your foot shape and fit.

Moulds to your feet

The specialised closed-cell foam footbed gradually adapts to your individual foot shape with wear.

Your slides may feel firmer or unfamiliar initially. Allow a wearing-in period, starting with shorter periods of wear as you become accustomed to the footbed. The foam is designed to soften and become more personalised over time.

Secure, comfortable strap

A wide upper strap sits across the top of your foot, giving these slides their simple slip-on design without a strap between the toes.

The band can be stretched to customise the fit where additional room is needed. The strap and contoured heel cradle work together to help keep your foot positioned within the slide. A comfortable fit should feel secure without excessive pressure across the top of your foot.

One-piece construction

The Original Arch Support Slides use a single moulded design.

Rather than relying on separate strap connections, the one-piece construction reduces the common connection points where traditional slides can break. It also keeps the design simple and lightweight for everyday wear.

Material

Archies states that its Original Slides are made primarily from a premium-quality foam material, with a specialised closed-cell foam footbed.

The brand states that Original Thongs and Slides do not contain rubber, latex, PVC or formamide.

Fit & sizing

Archies recommends starting with your normal US running shoe size. Check your foot length against the brand’s size guide and assess both the length and strap fit.

Our size options display the equivalent US Men’s / Women’s sizes. For example, US Men’s 8 corresponds to US Women’s 9.

Half sizes

If you normally wear a half size, Archies recommends sizing up to the nearest full size.

US 7.5 → choose US 8 within the same men’s or women’s sizing system.

Width

Archies states that its Original Slides run wide.

For narrow feet, the brand recommends considering a size down. For wide feet, choose your usual size as a starting point. If you are between sizes or need to balance length with a narrower fit, try them on before deciding. The band can be stretched if more room is needed across the top of the foot.
