Best shoes with arch support

Want to know about the best arch support shoes that you can walk in all day. This article will give you all the best brands of arch support shoes that are both hip and comfortable.

Why arch support shoes?

Women love shoes. However, it gets more important as you get older that your shoes don’t just look good, but that they also feel great on your feet. That’s why you may need to think about choosing arch support shoes.

Unfortunately, for many of us over 40 it gets harder to wear uncomfortable shoes as we age and we do need shoes with good arch support. If you are looking for the best shoes with arch support, you’ve definitely come to the right place. This article features my own favorite recommendations and those of 40+ Style readers.

Best SHOES WITH ARCH SUPPORT

In this updated extensive article based on my experience and your own comments and experiences, I will highlight the best arch support shoes and brands.

I also share a comprehensive list of brands that offer shoes with arch support and share some of my favorites with you.

We are always updating this article so if you have a great experience with shoes that offer great support, be sure to add your comments to this article so it becomes the definitive resource on arch support shoes! (more than 100 comments and recommendations already).

Let’s help every woman to be comfortable AND stylish. There’s definitely no reason that the two have to be mutually exclusive!

Favorite ARCH SUPPORT SHOES

Above, I’m wearing my favorite Fly London Bani sandal which have a comfort footbed and shock-absorbing sole. To finish your outfit – denim jacket (similar) – dress (similar)

Another favorite shoe that I’ve been wearing a lot on my travels is this silver sandal from one of my favorite comfortable shoe brands Fly London. I can’t find an exact match online, but these ones are very similar and seem to have the same cushiony sole that’s been really comfortable. I also like these silver ones that are a bit edgier and higher. I’m also loving these white sandals although they don’t appear to have much arch support.

Another favorite of a higher Fly London shoe is the Fly London Yala wedge. You will find more examples of how I’ve worn these below.

WHY IS ARCH SUPPORT IMPORTANT?

Many women over 40 suffer from foot problems like plantar fasciitis that require shoes with more arch support.

It’s one of the unfortunate annoyances that often come with aging.

Wearing shoes with arch support may actually be a good preemptive step, as it is estimated that over 80% of the population will end up with foot problems, which are largely due to poor footwear.

A shoe with good arch support reduces muscle strain and helps you to maintain balance. In effect, arch support equals shock absorption.

It can also reduce the risk of plantar fasciitis, which is a painful inflammatory process of the plantar fascia, the connective tissue on the sole (bottom surface) of the foot. You will find our recommendation for the best shoes for plantar fasciitis here.

This is often caused by overuse of the plantar fascia or arch tendon of the foot. It is a very common condition and can be difficult to treat if not looked after properly. Another common term for the affliction is “policeman’s heel”.

A good support shoe is rigid enough to support the arch, yet offers just enough flexibility to allow the foot to naturally flex.

Dayle @artfulcitystyle above (read her style interview here) opts for wedge sandals from Fly London with her yellow and black outfit.

Recreate her outfit with this similar dress, pants, sandals and necklace.

comfortable best shoes with arch support for spring

As we are now approaching Spring (at least for most of you) this page will tell you about many of the choices you could choose for the spring and summer season. You’ll also find plenty of options for cooler weather.

A pair of ankle booties like the Sorel booties (below) is a good choice for transitional weather as they will keep your feet comfy and cozy, without looking too “heavy” with your warmer weather outfits.

They feature a cushioned footbed with arch support to fit and support your feet. Reviewers say they are stylish, comfortable, and add a little height without feeling too high.

WILL ARCH SUPPORT INSOLES OR ARCH SUPPORT INSERTS WORK TO PROVIDE THE NEEDED SUPPORT?

Another way to provide more arch support is to work with shoe insoles like these ones from Amazon (below).

These are very affordable and you may be able to use them with your existing shoes, even though high-quality orthopedic shoes are recommended.

Experiment with insoles to see if they fit in your current shoes and if they provide enough support before changing all your shoes!

CAN YOU WEAR ARCH SUPPORT SHOES AND STILL LOOK GREAT?

‘Sensible’ shoes do tend to be thought of as more boring and are slightly more aging.

However, more and more manufacturers are paying attention to this problem now and the shoes on this list all look good.

Shoe brands like ECCO, FLY London, Vionic and Söfft have started to create really nice shoes!

The key is to find shoes that are just slightly different, have a hip vibe to them and are just a bit funkier than the regular ‘sensible’ shoe.

You can see that I’m wearing comfy booties with my skinny jeans (below) – perfect for sightseeing.

Below you will find a list of recommended brands that offer comfortable shoes and shoes with arch support. My personal favorites are ECCO and FLY London.

They all combine comfort with style because I’m sure you don’t want one without the other!

My personal favorite brand for arch support shoes is Fly London.

My current favorite is their Bani sandal which I have worn very often over the last few months.

They are incredibly comfortable, even for long city walks or when visiting Versailles. The dress above is from COS but it is already sold out. Here is a similar dress from the same brand.

I also like wearing my Fly London wedges (another style here) when I want more height. They look a little ‘chunky’ in style before you put them on, but when you wear them, they are comfortable, stylish and edgy. They remain on trend each year!

They come in all kinds of colors too and I know several women who have these shoes in multiple colors.

They manage to be timeless, but on-trend year after year. The Yala wedge is my style of choice. You will always find this style is available season after season.
