The comfortable Archport sandals !
Archport recently sent me a pair of their ‘stash’ sandals to check out, promoting the pockets under the arches that allows you to keep credit cards, room keys, money and whatever other small, flattish items you want in your shoe. They promoted the convenience of going to the beach and not needing to worry about having pockets, but I saw a lot of opportunity for other uses for travelers.
They hadn’t mentioned how comfortable they would be. As a short person with flat feet, to wear a flip flop that kept me an extra inch or so off the ground while also supporting what little arch I had, these flip-flops made me very happy. Despite the fact that it was a rather dreary November in Seattle when I received the stash sandals, I found myself compelled to wear them-and not to take them off.
The bottle opener sandals also come with a wallet clip that fits tightly in the sole, and a plastic bag for cash and other small items. Because of the unique port feature in the arch area, the sandals offer exceptional stability, arch supportand comfort. They are also made of light polyurethane materials.
The primary impact areas of the foot while walking are at the ball of the foot and the heel of the foot. The arch area is the “rolling’ area, subject to less impact. Therefore I concluded it is the best area to place a compartment. The name ArchPort came from the idea that the compartment is in the arch, and also from the idea that it is a port which can one day be used to interchangeably carry various items, including GPS, music and other forms of data and data communications.
