True Stryde tip

Try them on at the end of the day, when feet are a little bigger, and we'll check the fit.

Sizing

FAQs

Do Archies need breaking in?
Archies says most people find them comfortable straight away. If they feel firm, wear them for short periods over a couple of weeks so the foam softens.

Are they unisex?
Yes. Archies uses unisex US sizing.

Care

Scrub in warm water with a brush and a little dishwashing liquid, then drip dry. Archies warns that dishwashers can warp them and washing machines can damage the straps.
