Spring is in the air which means summer isn’t too far away! So it’s almost that time of year to slide on a pair of thongs or sandals and soak in some warm summers air. But how do we enjoy the sun without sacrificing the stability of our winter shoes? Geelong podiatrist Andrew Graham list his best thongs and sandals for this summer!
While comfort is our number one goal, fashion is a close second! This list has a style for everyone from a dressy sandal to a go to set a thongs.
Archies
- A summer staple for the Pro Feet Podiatrists.
- A supportive alternative to the classic ‘havaianas’ style flat thongs.
- Designed by a Physiotherapist right here in Melbourne!

Frankie4
- Just for the women, Frankie4 offer a large range of sandals and slides that are sure to have a style for everyone.

Reveres
- The perfect sandals for those with custom foot orthoses.
- The reveres sandals come with a removable foot bed allowing an easy change for custom orthoses.
- Coming in a range a styles and colours in both womens and mens.

Birkenstocks
- A great style for both the guys and the girls.
- Similar to some of the Frankie4 styles, the Birkenstocks provide a cushioned footbed along with adequate arch support.
There are a heap of different options when it comes to the right slipper this summer but style doesn’t have to sacrifice support. So when making your next summer purchase make sure to keep this list in mind.
