With summer just around the corner, it’s time to think flip-flops. And while we adore our pale green Rainbow flip-flops, they kill our feet after 3 hours of Phoenix errand-running and Scottsdale over-embellished people-watching. We’ve even investigated the Dr. Scholl’s route, but Doc’s south-of-the-ankle options are far too orthepedic-looking for our taste. Little did we know that a small, Teva-inspired company out of Arizona could provide supportive, stylish footwear for our flip-flop-loving lifestyles.

Named Moszkito, this Scottsdale-based company specializes in foot-friendly flip flops, sandals and orthotic insoles (you know, those fabulously smooshy footpad insert things). Moszkito products are tested on the rough, rugged terrain of the Arizona desert, while their specially-designed sandals and flip flops help ease the aches and pains associated with arthritis, plantar fasciitis and athletic strain. In other words, get the support, comfort of a good pair of sneaks, but in a summer-ready package. Most important, getting support does not mean sacrificing style. Moszkito sandals are offered in classic neutrals, sassy brights and exciting textures. Check out the lime green at a local Foot Solutions and say “Ahhhh.”
