Heel pain and plantar fasciitis is such a pervasive complaint at our clinic that we have created recommendations for home remedies for treating heel pain . One of the most important remedies is to keep the arches supported at all times by never going barefoot during treatment.
When you can’t wear shoes with supportive orthotics, we recommend wearing flip flops or sandals with built-in arch supports. An arch support keeps the foot from flattening while standing or walking and reduces tightness in the plantar fascia, allowing pain to subside. This is such as important part of treatment for heel pain that if it does not happen, it is likely that treatment will fail.
In order to reduce tension on the plantar fascia and to transfer pressure off of the heel the orthotic portion of the sandal must include these features:
With this type of support damaging tension and pressure on the heel is reduced significantly. Most people notice the difference immediately.
The sandals listed below contain these features. These are the sandals we recommend to our patients and they are also affiliate links so we may receive a small commission if your order from the link.
These are our go-to sandal for most of our patients with heel pain. I love these things and I wish I had invented them. These are the one item I recommend to essentially all of my heel pain patients.
Vionic sandals are designed by a podiatrist and have the best arch support on the market and they simply do an amazing job transferring pressure off of the heel and reducing tension on the plantar fascia. Prices range from $35 to $110 depending on the model. All have the same great arch support, however.
Pros: Exceptional arch support. Best job at reducing tension on the plantar fascia. Attractive. Many model and color choices. Great reviews from our patients with heel pain. Not cheap, but a very good value. Very durable.
Cons: Higher arch may take some getting used to for some people. Most people adapt with no problem but rarely someone just does not tolerate the arch. We recommend wearing them around the house for a few days to make sure they work for you. Vionic sandals tend to be more expensive then other brands, but worth it.
Some of our patients with heel pain find the Chaco Ecotread very comfortable.
The arch is not quite as high or supportive as the arch on the Vionic so this is not our first choice for most of our heel pain patients. If you have had trouble tolerating the arch height on the Vionic sandals, however, the Chaco EcoTread might be a good choice for you.
Because the higher arch of the Vionic sandals is superior at reducing the forces that lead to conditions such as plantar fasciitis we do recommend that patients with plantar fasciitis and other types of heel pain try the Vionic first. But if you find the Vionic arch too high, return the Vionic sandals and try these Chaco.
Pros: Excellent choice for those who have flatter feet and don’t tolerate the higher arch of the Vionic sandals. Good arch support although not as supportive as Vionic.
Cons: Arch not quite as supportive as Vionic sandals so it will not be as effective at reducing tension on the plantar fascia or transferring pressure off of the heel.
This is a good value-priced arch support flip-flop for those with plantar fasciitis and other types of heel pain. Of the sandals we reviewed, this has the lowest arch so it is less likely to reduce tension on the plantar fascia relative to the others we recommend. But it does have the best arch support available in the $40 range.
Pros: Best heel pain relief sandals in the $40 – $50 range. Attractive sandal. Many great color choices.
Cons: Not as supportive as other choices. May not be as durable as it has softer EVA foam in the arch.
That’s it. We could not find any other sandals or flip-flops that provide adequate arch support to reduce heel pain. If you know of other sandals that we should include in this list please reply to this post and let us know.
It is critical to keep in mind that while these sandals are the best we have found for our patients with heel pain, they are not a substitute for stable shoes and custom orthotics designed to treat heel pain . But for those times you want to wear sandals or flip-flops give these a try.

I Would Wanna Have the Black Orthaeel Comfort flip flops caus their comfort enough to wear
I was told by more than one doctor to NEVER EVER EVER EVER wear flip flops under any circumstances. I used to love them and wound up with stress fractures twice, so now am too fearful to consider them (I might add that I have had multiple foot injuries and will do anything to err on the side of caution to avoid that monster walking boot). I would love to hear more from you on why you are making flip flop recommendations at all — arch support or not.
People are going to wear flip-flops regardless of what we say so we guide them to the healthiest flip-flops available. Also, many people can wear flip-flops without an issue. If your doctors have told you that you should not then you probably should listen to them. That doesn’t mean that others can’t wear arch support flip-flops – at least in moderation.
I have a plantar fibroma in the arch of my foot. Any arch support causes more pain. What kind of shoes/sandals do you reccomend?
A softer sandal like oofos would likely be most comfortable. For shoes the key will be a proper orthotic. With a fibroma your best bet is a custom orthotic that is prescribed to accommodate the fibroma. More info here: https://www.footankle.com/orthotics/condition/plantar-fasciitis/
I have purchased both shoes and sandles/flip flops by KURU and they both seem to help my PF symptoms. My heel pain was so bad that I could hardly walk without limping. My heel pain has virtually disappeared in about 2 1/2 mths. I actually walked 18 holes in the shoes last week! Are you familiar with these shoes? I will buy a pair of the Vionics to compare, as having a wider selection should be a good thing! Thanks for making all the info available!
I had various foot/ankle/shin issues and starting wearing Olukai flip flops. They have a nice arch support and deep heel cup – they have helped tremendously! I used to go barefoot at home but the doc said to never do that – he was right. I feel so much better!
What is your professional opinion of Birkenstocks?
For support for collapsing arch problems from arthritis (Plantar Fasciitis not involved), what is your opinion about Birkenstock sandals?
Thanks.
Can you also consider adding regular sandals (other than the between the toe flip flops), as not everyone can wear the flip flop style comfortably, and they aren’t as supportive.
I too have plantar fibromas under both arches, but need the arch support as well…it’s hard to get something with right support, but offloading the pressure on the fibroma areas, or at least having something like a memory foam to cushion the area.
MBT has what they call a recovery sandal. it has a deep heel cup and arch support. it comes in my size, a 4, which is extremely hard to find. I have severe mid foot arthritis with a large bone spur. Is this a good shoe? Thank you

Customers say this fits true to size.
They’re very comfortable and helped with the pain of plantar fasciitis, pretty much right away.
These flip flops fit great and were very comfortable but unfortunately they broke after just 3 months of wear.
If that's the case, try wearing them for short periods and extending the time worn every day.

Size: 7 Color: Brown Verified Purchase
I've ordered several pairs of these shoes over the last year or two, and they fit and look almost exactly like Vionic shoes, or at least the Tide sandals I like. (They are a little tighter the first few days of wear, though, but stretch out just fine.) I do think they don't last as long as Vionics, though, as I noticed more plantar fasciitis pain sooner when wearing these than when I am wearing my Vionic sandals. Nonetheless, I can purchase two of these sandals for the price of one Tide sandal, so the decreased longevity does not bother me too much. Oh, and I'm pretty sure the company selling these is just a drop shipper or something like that. I ordered another completely different 'brand" that looked strikingly similar from Amazon, and those shoes came in an identical box and everything...guess they both have the same manufacturer in China!
Size: 9 Color: Matt Grey Verified Purchase
I haven’t been able to wear slippers in 2-3 years because of my fallen arch’s and widening feet from my MS and for me being from Hawaii this was horrible as this is an everyday wear thing. I found these and decided to give them a try and thank god I did! These have helped so much! I’m about to order a second pair just so I have a back up. If you have a problem with your arch’s and or foot pain do yourself a favor and give these a try.
Size: 6 Color: Black Verified Purchase
Reason for Purchase: Recovery from lisfranc fracture and PTT tendonitis First Day Review: I had no idea arch support flops were all I needed after getting out of the walking boot! With the tendonitis, my foot kept turning purple and becoming painful in places unassociated with my injury when attempting to walk without the boot. After emerging from the internet research rabbit hole, I hoped it was an easy solution and ordered these. It's only the first day, but I was able to my dog on her nightly walk with no pain or bruising! I'm still wearing a thin ankle brace to help with drop foot weakness, and there is no impact to the fit of either together. Hopefully this keeps up and my foot is no longer angry all the time :)
Size: 10 Color: Khaki Verified Purchase
I just wear these around the house at night. I have flat feet. They are perfect for my use. I could not wear them all day with my feet being in the condition they are in.
Size: 9 Color: Brown Verified Purchase
These solved my plantar fasciitis problems right away - just as well as the name brand they clearly are made like. I read the info about sizing in the reviews and decided to order my size and a size lower to try them both (I wear a women’s 9 and ordered both 8 and 9). I think they’re at least half a size too big but both are wearable and both support my feet and eliminate the pain. In the picture I’m wearing 8 on my left foot and 9 on the right. Give these a try! Walking was painful for months, and these took care of the problem almost instantly, and so thoroughly that I could wake up in the morning and walk around barefoot for a while with no pain.
