Okay, if you're on your feet a lot and regular flip flops leave you with aching feet, you need to check out these Vionic Activate thong sandals. They're not your basic drugstore flip flops - these have serious arch support technology developed by podiatrists. The footbed is contoured to actually support your arch properly, with a deep heel cup that stabilizes your foot and helps with alignment. They call it VIO MOTION TECHNOLOGY - basically it helps correct pronation and can really help if you deal with plantar fasciitis or heel pain. The dual-density cushioning gives you that nice soft feel while still providing support where you need it. The leather straps are adjustable with hook-and-loop closures so you get a perfect fit, and the thong part is comfortable between your toes - no rubbing or blisters. They've got a textured footbed that gives you a little massage as you walk, and the rubber outsole grips well on different surfaces. Now, fair warning - when you first get them, your feet might need a little time to adjust to real support if you're used to flat sandals. Wear them for a few hours at first, and within a week or two, you'll wonder how you ever wore anything else. They're perfect for recovery after workouts, beach days, or just everyday summer wear when you want comfort and support. The quality is excellent - these are built to last through multiple seasons. At 0.75 inches heel height, they give you just enough lift without being awkward. Seriously, your feet will thank you after a long day of standing or walking.
