Archies Arch Support Flip Flops

Archies Footwear is a prominent Australian brand founded by physiotherapist Daniel Gullotto in Echuca, Victoria. The brand was established to address the lack of support found in traditional flat flip flops (thongs), creating a product that looks like a normal thong but provides the orthotic support of a high-quality sandal.

While the brand is proudly Australian-owned and maintained, with its global headquarters remaining in Melbourne, the manufacturing of the specialized foam footwear primarily occurs in China to meet global demand. Despite the overseas production, the design, research, and development remain local to Australia, ensuring the product meets physiotherapeutic standards.

The company remains privately owned by its founder under the entity Archies Footwear Pty Ltd. It has expanded significantly from its origins at local markets to being a globally recognized podiatry-recommended footwear brand sold in thousands of clinics and retail stores worldwide.
