Archies Thongs have a patented footbed that moulds to the shape of your feet as you wear them. When they are new, the material still needs to soften and shape to suit your feet. This could also be a reason for the arch feeling uncomfortable for some. Don't worry, with wear, this will improve!
How to wear them in
The best way to customize the footbed of Archies Thongs to your feet is to gradually wear them in. We recommend wearing them for 20 mins a day. This will allow the footbed to mould to your feet with minimal discomfort. It will also give your feet time to adapt to the support.
Short on time or perhaps find the arch too high? Heat moulding sorts it out!
Archies Thongs are made from a special form of foam that responds to heat. When heated, the material will become soft and mouldable, so heating them and then standing on them will customize the footbed to your feet. If the strap and toe pole is feeling tight, we also recommend stretching them while the material is warm.
Here's how to heat mold your Archies Thongs - very important, as you will be using boiling water, please be very careful.
You will need the following: a kettle, a clean sink, and a towel to place on the floor
You can repeat this as many times as necessary until the thongs have molded perfectly to your feet.
