Best Slippahs with Arch Support for All Day Comfort

· Slippahs.com

Flat slippahs are fine for a quick beach run, but if you are on your feet all day, your arches will let you know about it. Good news: a few Hawaiʻi slippah brands build in real support. Here are the pairs we point people to when they want comfort that lasts from morning to pau hana.

OluKai: the arch support king

If arch support is your top priority, start with OluKai. Their slippahs use an anatomical, compression molded footbed with a deep contoured arch that supports your foot the way a good running shoe does. Walking, standing, traveling, OluKai is built for it, and the soles grip wet decks too. Most pairs run about $70 to $130. Browse OluKai on Amazon.

One fit note: OluKai runs a touch narrow, so if you have wide feet, size up one.

Island Slipper: support with a leather feel

Island Slipper’s Island Pro footbed has a built in arch, heel cup, and outside contour, wrapped in full grain leather that molds to your feet over time. You get support plus a dressier look you can wear out. These are handcrafted on Oʻahu and run a bit higher, around $145 for the classic leather. See the range at Island Slipper on Amazon.

How to choose

  • Most support, active days, water: go OluKai.
  • Support plus a leather look you can dress up: go Island Slipper.
  • Wide feet: size up, and lean Island Slipper or check our wide feet guide.
