If your feet are flat or low-arched, the wrong sandals can leave you aching after a short walk. The fix is structure: a supportive footbed that does some of the work for you. Here's what to look for in sandals for flat feet.
What to look for in sandals for flat feet
- A supportive footbed that fills the space under your arch instead of leaving it flat.
- A cushioned, shock-absorbing sole for comfort on hard floors.
- Secure straps so your foot stays centred and doesn't roll inwards.
Do flat feet need arch support?
Many people with flat feet feel more comfortable with gentle arch support, because it helps keep the foot aligned and reduces strain on the arch and heel. Others prefer a flatter feel. The key is having the choice. See our fit guide.
How Sole Mate helps
Every Sole Mate base comes in With Arch (added support, great for flat feet) or Without Arch, on a cushioned memory-foam footbed — then you snap on whichever top you like. Shop the bases or build your set.
