I’m extremely flat footed and these were rated #1 on three different “Top 10 best sandals for flat footed men” lists (that were NOT sponsored) on Google. It didn’t make sense to me that a sandal with a high arch support was great for someone flat footed, but like I said, they were rated #1 so I ordered them anyway. At first, they took a little getting used to with the arch support. However, after a couple days of wearing them on vacation I’ve decided I love them! If you are flat footed, then these are for YOU! I wear a men’s size 12 in Nike and similar tennis shoe brands so that’s the size I ordered these in and they fit perfect. I purchased the black/dark shadow sandals and they are about 95% black with a little bit of dark gray.
