Plantar fasciitis does not take a season off and neither should your footwear. Every sandal in this collection is designed with the features that matter most for heel and arch support: Aetrex's Signature Arch Support, cushioned footbeds, and deep heel cups designed to help cradle your foot from the moment you step in.
Most sandals offer comfort without structure. That is the problem. A flat, unsupported sandal can place direct strain on your plantar fascia with every step, making symptoms worse rather than better. Aetrex sandals are engineered using insights from over 50 million foot scans and designed to help keep your foot in a neutral position throughout your gait cycle, reducing the pull on the plantar fascia that causes that first-step morning pain.
Each style is doctor recommended. Whether you are looking for the best sandals for plantar fasciitis for all-day wear, a casual flip flop, an adjustable strappy sandal, or a supportive platform, this collection features only orthotic sandals designed to help support your foot.
The best sandals for plantar fasciitis combine biomechanically engineered arch support, premium cushioning materials, and a stable sole. Aetrex orthotic sandals for plantar fasciitis are built around our Signature Arch Support system, which is designed to help stabilize your foot, reduce overpronation, and distribute pressure evenly across the plantar fascia. Our number one best selling sandal for plantar fasciitis is the Jillian, which features memory foam cushioning, a met bar pod, adjustable straps, and a padded heel.
The most important features to look for are built-in arch support positioned in the anatomically correct location, memory foam cushioning, and a shock absorbing sole. Most brands place arch support in the middle of the footbed. Aetrex's Signature Arch Support is positioned further back, designed to help align your body from the ground up and reduce strain on the plantar fascia with every step.
Yes. Every sandal in this collection features Aetrex's Signature Arch Support, engineered using insights from over 50 million foot scans and strategically positioned to help stabilize your foot and reduce strain on the plantar fascia. Select styles also include Cobra Orthotic Technology, designed to help provide equal pressure distribution while alleviating heel pressure and providing metatarsal support.
Aetrex sandals are designed for all-day wear. The combination of Signature Arch Support, memory foam cushioning, and shock absorbing EVA foam midsoles is designed to help maintain foot support throughout extended wear. If you are managing an active flareup, we recommend starting with a few hours and gradually increasing wear time as your foot adjusts.
