In our quest for cute shoes, comfort is often sacrificed for style. Arch support is one of the most sought after comfort features by our customers. Arch support in shoes is crucial for several reasons. Shoes with arch support bolsters our natural foot structure, improves posture and spine alignment, enhances shock absorption, and prevents fatigue, especially when you’re on your feet all day. It also prevents overpronation (inward rolling of the foot) and supination (excessive outward rolling).
Here are a few of our favorite shoes featuring this critical comfort feature.
Boots With Arch Support: Stride Comfortably Through Every Season
Boots like our Lieben Chelsea Boots and Chukka Boots are a staple in every wardrobe. They offer warmth during cooler months and practical protection of your ankles and feet during the warmer seasons. Finding boots with adequate arch support can significantly reduce foot fatigue for those who like to adventure. Look for boot designs that feature a contoured footbed like our Stegmann boots that mold to the shape of your foot over time. You’ll get a truly custom comfort fit.
Arch support in boots is particularly beneficial for those suffering from plantar fasciitis. This causes pain when the arch of the foot becomes inflamed because of strain or overuse. When you add support to the arch, the right boots can alleviate pain and even prevent discomfort in the future.
Work Flats With Arch Support: Professional Style, All-Day Comfort
For many professionals, striking a balance between office-appropriate footwear and comfort can certainly present its challenges. That’s why we created the Liesl Skimmer, our first work shoe for women. This chic work flat feels like a slipper but offers feminine polish to any office #ootd.
Our Maria Mules also feature an ergonomic design that supports the natural arch of the foot. The cushioned insoles also reduce strain on the feet during long hours of standing or walking. Our leather mules are great for days at the office.
Our customers who have bunions and achilles tendonitis find relief from the pain caused by prolonged pressure and inadequate support in flat work shoes. Our flats are truly podiatrist-recommended and our customers regularly share stories of relief and confidence.
Mules with Arch Support: Effortless Chic, All-Day Ease
Mules are perfect for those who like to keep things simple. The slip-on convenience makes getting ready feel effortless yet stylish. Modern mules like our Maria Mule in leather or vegan basketweave should feature arch support and other practical comfort features to keep you feeling healthy and comfortable. Make sure to look for shoe styles with a supportive footbed that contours to the foot's natural shape to ensure stability and alignment with every step.
Mules with arch support can transform those prone to knee pain. The right soles encourage proper spinal alignment from the feet to the top of the head. That’s largely because comfortable soles evenly distribute pressure across the foot and help alleviate strain on the knees. Bonus: mules are totally cute for work of play!
Sandals with Arch Support: Summer Comfort Without Compromise
When summer rolls around, we know how difficult it is to find sandals with arch support. That’s why we continue to expand our sandal collection. We know you’ll find the right pair that blends with your warm-weather wardrobe. Each of our sandal designs combine breathability, hidden comfort features like elastic goring, and of course, that famous arch support.
You can even create a personalized fit with adjustable straps on sandals like the Freya Wedge, Louisa slingback and Hannah Sandal. The Hannah and Heidi Sandals also come in a wide width for those who need wider room in the toe box. You’ll find all of these comfort features help distribute weight evenly, reducing strain on the plantar fascia and promoting a more comfortable walking experience. You can say “ahhh” with every step.
Wedges with Arch Support: Elevate Your Style, Support Your Feet
Who doesn’t love a wedge? They are perfect for weddings, wineries, and wherever else your adventures take you. A great wedge dress shoe or sandal adds height and polishes off your outfit of the day. We had a hard time finding wedges that were supportive, comfortable, and stable, so we made them ourselves!
Dress shoes like our Elsa Wedge and sandals like the Freya and Layna have become popular for our long-time fans looking to bring the comfort of our clogs into their everyday lives. Our modern wedge designs all feature arch support, cushioned footbeds, and more. You can look cute, feel great, and care for your overall posture and well-being at the same time.
