Summary: "Not archy enough"
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 also costs significantly less than any of the above brands.
CONS - Arch height was comparable to Sole's, but the material gave it an edge.
I kept both the Moszkito and Spenco - the former for daily wear, the latter for the beach and pool.

Summary: "Comfortable"
Very comfortable shoe. Kind of pricey, but better than Cole Haan which costs about the same. Good arch support.

Summary: "Nice flip flop, but!!!!"
This is a nice flip flop, however I have nerve damage in my feet and bought this because so much was talked about how this was approved by the medical gurus of the world. This may be nice for people with good feet, it has nice arch support, but very little in the way of cushioning of any sort. So if your feet are sore and hurt, this is not the flip flop for you.

Summary: "Great Comfort, Highly Recommended for Planter Faciitis"
I suffer from Planter Faciitis and these sandals provide the best support for my condition. I use them at home all the time as recommended by my podiatrist. They look cool and are superlight. Kind of pricy, but could not find anything better out there. If you are just looking for sandals and do not have any foot issues this may be an overkill. You will find several others for less than half the price. But otherwise highly recommended!!

Summary: "worth every penny"
These sandals are a comfortable summer shoe. You could walk miles at a time in them without any discomfort.
