What Makes Archies Thick Thongs Different?
Elevated Heel Pitch and Profile
A heel-to-toe pitch up to 9mm — similar to what you'll find in a supportive running shoe — for a smooth step and natural stride. That lift carries through the whole footbed, creating a thick profile.
Soft Cushioned Footbed
A soft, cushioned and high-rebound footbed that feels supportive and stable, not too spongy.
Wide, Textured Strap
A wide and textured strap alongside the substantial silhouette, gives this pair a bit more visual presence on the foot.
Everything you need to know about our new Thick Thongs
What are Archies Thick Thongs?
It's a thicker, softer version of our Archies Thongs. Same Signature Arch Support you already know, with a more cushioned footbed, a more elevated heel and profile, and a wider, textured strap.
Do they fit the same as the Original?
Yes — take the same size you wear in your Originals; they're true to size. If you're normally a half size, size up to the nearest full size (a 7.5 would take an 8). Archies Thongs are made to fit snug, so if you prefer a more relaxed fit, size up.
Is the arch support the same as the Original?
Yes. It's the same Signature Arch Support — a contoured arch shape measuring approximately 2.2cm, designed to keep you comfortable through a full day of wear.
How do I find my right size?
The best way to find your size is to measure your foot length or to choose your standard running shoe size. Here's a quick video on How to Find the Perfect Size. You can also refer to our size guide.
Do they come in half sizes?
No — Archies Thick Thongs comes in full sizes. If you're normally a half size, we recommend sizing up to the nearest full size. So if you're usually a 7.5, order an 8.
Worth knowing: Archies thongs are made to fit snug, so sizing up tends to sit comfortably rather than loose.
Won't a thicker sole feel soft or mushy?
No. The footbed is soft but high-rebound, so it feels supportive and stable underfoot rather than spongy.
Can I stretch the strap out?
Yes. The strap is designed to be stretched if you'd like a looser fit, and it'll still hold your foot securely.
