I bought the Sole Platinum, Moszkito Archy, Orthaheel Ryder, and Spenco Polysorbs for a side-by-side comparison.
Moszkito Archy = 5 stars
PROS - the highest most pronounced arch, had adequate cushioning overall, was wide enough to provide full coverage for my wide feet, and looked rugged
CONS - leather means I couldn't take it to the beach or the pool
Sole Platinum = 3
PROS - made of rubber with an assortment of colors, which means you can wear it anywhere; adequate cushining; looked very durable
CONS - you could barely feel the arch and the straps were rough and scratchy (although not unbearable)
Orthaheel Ryder = 1
PROS - none
CONS - arch was spread across a very wide area of the foot, so I felt like my foot was tilted to the side...not comfortable at all! In addition, the sandal was too narrow
Spenco Polysorbs = 4
PROS - made of soft rubber that completely envelopes and molds to your foot. At $35, it...Read more

This is a minor miracle!,

Doctors ought to recommend this product! For the first time in 10+ years, I know now what it is walk around without pain! The arch support is where this is unlike anything I've worn. I suffer from a very painful flat foot and this actually "massages" the arch when I walk, if you know what I mean. There is *very* good cushioning all over so the feet experience no impact at all. I do use custom orthotics but that doesn't help when I'm just walking around the house. Still, the difference the orthotics made is in fact, incomparable to this minor miracle! I'm sure there are countless others out there who could use this, so please spread the word!
Just for accuracy, I bought it directly off Footsmart's website.

Crazy supportive flip flops!,

These flip flops have incredible arch support. I wear them everywhere, even around the house! The leather gets softer each time I wear them and the traction on the bottom is easy to walk outdoors with. High arches are very hard to find on flip flops, but these fit the bill perfectly. I have plantar fasciitis and these are the first shoes I've worn that have made the pain much more tolerable. Highly recommended!
