If you've been into the clinic before, you've probably noticed our Archies display by the front desk. We've stocked them for a good while now, and with Christmas right around the corner, it’s a good time to take a closer look.
Summer here means thongs and slides take over from every other shoe we own, whether it’s a quick run to the shops, a full day at the beach or a lap around the house. Most summer footwear is completely flat. Archies are designed to look like a regular, trendy thong, with a few extra features built in.
Features of Archies
Built-in arch support: a contoured footbed with up to 2.2cm of arch support, designed to support the natural shape of the foot
Cushioned, moulded foam: soft, lightweight and designed designed to mould to your foot over time
Secure straps: designed for a snugger fit than many standard thongs
Elevated heel: a raised heel design
Thongs or Slides? We Stock Both
Not a thong person? Archies also come in a slide style. The slide style has the same contoured footbed and cushioned foam, with an easy slip-on design that suits wearing around the house, after a workout or running errands.
Who They Might Suit
People who live in thongs or slides at home, at the beach or running errands
Anyone who spends a lot of the day on their feet and wants a more contoured option than a flat thong or slide
People who prefer to wear something on their feet at home rather than going barefoot
Anyone after comfortable footwear to slip on after exercise
The Perfect Christmas Gift
Archies suit anyone on your list, from the parent who’s always on their feet to the friend who lives in thongs all summer. Thongs are $40 and slides are $60, in a range of colours and sizes. We’re happy to help you find the right size and style when you pop in.
Struggling with foot, heel or arch pain?
Footwear is only one piece of the puzzle. Book in with our physios at Thornleigh Performance Physiotherapy and we’ll assess what’s driving your pain and put together a plan to get you moving comfortably again. Any footwear advice we give is based on your individual needs, whether or not it’s something we stock.
