Forget everything you’ve heard about flip-flops. We just found a pair of super cute orthopedic recovery sandals from Aerothotic that offer arch support and a deep heel cup. Reviewers say these kicks are some of the most comfortable they’ve ever worn. “I have a bad hip, knee, and ankle, and these are better than wearing sneakers!” one wrote. “I usually can’t walk in anything but very supportive sneakers but these are comfy,” said another.
Even better news? Today, you can snag a hefty discount on a selection of colors and sizes. Yet, the best deal we spotted was on all sizes of the ‘crystal gray’ colorway. Our price trackers show these shoes usually go for $37.99, making today’s discount closer to 34% off, a solid price for your new favorite shoes.
“I’ve worn them for miles long at a time and can honestly say they are more comfortable than if I were to wear sneakers,” one review said. “I’ve worn them to concerts, festivals, cruises, basically everywhere! 5 stars!”
Made from a lightweight but supportive polyurethane, these water-resistant sandals are designed with a thick sole and supportive straps. Wearers say the thong doesn’t irritate between their toes and the sole has “the right” amount of cushion. Many reviewers say these are the only sandals they can wear without pain, and they go with everything.
“I have tried two other brands and had to get rid of them after a few months,” one writes. “When I wear them, I have no pain. They work with shorts, jeans, slacks, and casual dresses/skirts.”
The shoes are sharp enough to wear around the city, but durable enough for days at the beach and lake. “They do not get slippery,” one wearer reports. “And I don’t feel like you can hear me coming from a mile away when they get wet after I’ve been in the pool.”
They run in women’s full sizes 6-11, with many reviews suggesting sizing up. “For most flip flops I wear size 7. After reading reviews I sized up to 8 and this is a perfect size,” CHendrix said.

“I have falling arches, plantar fasciitis and bone spurs. Yikes, right!? I have yet to find another flip flop that can provide me with the same level of comfort as my expensive insoles in my expensive tennis shoes! These have worked so well for me. I wear them all seasons. I wear them as house slippers. I wear my older ones to the beach, I wear my newer ones out to drink with friends or chillin with my family. They are the best and most wonderful, supportive flip flops I have ever worn. Period. And I will be buying additional pairs this year.” — Nicole
“My wife loves these flip flops with arch support they have straightened out her back and knee issues. She wore out the first pair constantly wearing them now she is on the second pair. We are ordering a third for our daughter Inlaw birthday present.” — J mastbrook
“I bought these as a gift for my daughter, who need extra stability in a shoe. This shoe gives her a nice break from sneakers, and is easy to walk in and so far has been both durable and attractive. She wears them all the time.” — Sheila Barbee Collins
“This is my second pair and I love them! I’ve had plantar fasciitis for several years and found these a year+ ago. The ONLY flip flops I’ll wear. Comfortable to wear all day; had no break-in period. I live at the beach so they get a lot of wear - casually, with dresses, and in sand, get rinsed off, etc and definitely have been worth the cost. I decided on these with glitter for a little glam, and they fit and feel exactly like my previous pair (that I’m still wearing). I’ll definitely continue to add to my collection as needed. The soles are sturdy and stable but the footbed cradles my foot comfortably without walking on a yoga mat!” — LbM
