About Arche
All about Arche
Arche shoes are made exclusively in France by a team of craft artisans devoted to bringing you the quality you deserve. Arche brings you a rich and inviting color palette gathered from the latest fashion trends. After much research into contours and shapes, Arche has devised shoes, boots, and sandals that will provide you with hours and hours of comfort and well being. Modern, simple, and durable, a timeless classic that has made Arche a "trademark" of great style. Arche brings you the best in supple European leathers and the softest nubucks. Arche´s unique care with the traditional tannery process allows these leathers to maintain their authentic look and feel.
Arche was established in Paris in 1968 by Pierre Robert Helaine with the philosophy: “If you can´t think, walk. If you are thinking too much, walk. If you are thinking bad thoughts, keep walking.”
Paris is where fashion begins and where all Arche products are designed. As a result, these Arche shoes, boots, and sandals easily accessorize and relate to the most current ready to wear, outerwear, and swimwear trends.
Arche begins with the belief that black and brown do not go with everything. Every Arche collection of shoes, boots, and sandals are then offered in a myriad of coloration that correspond exactly to fashion enabling our customer to always look her best.
All Arche shoes, boots, and sandals feature 100% natural latex cushioning for maximum durability, flexibility, and unrelenting shock absorption. Supple water and scratch-resistant nubuck leather repels the elements while creating a cozy and breathable home for the foot. All Arche shoes, boots, and sandals provide instant comfort that will create a bounce in each step.
For 40 years, Arche has been assembling its shoes, boots, and sandals in the Chateau Region of France, not far from Paris. Every pair of Arche shoes are handcrafted to perfection with the goal of providing the absolute best product possible.

Arche Reviews
Beautiful shoes and I want so badly to make them work. I usually wear 7m which translates to 38 but shoes felt loose but the cut seemed a tad narrow. Also order the 37m which was definitely too small. I’m hoping I can use inserts to tighten these shoes up a bit if I can make the width work as well.
I ordered what I thought was Navy. It is a brighter blue--on the teal side of blue. Very pretty but not what I needed. I also have this shoe in another color--the fit was different for this one.
Very nice, comfortable, great leather but weird fit. The 7 was too big and the 6 too small. I need arch support in all my shoes and I just couldn't get the right combination of shoe and insert to work. Too bad.
This is a second pair I just received because they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I've walked all over Europe, twice in them. I logged over 30,000 steps some days and my feet never hurt. I get complimented on them all the time. I have high arches and a funny toe, so comfortable shoes are a must if I don't want to be miserable. My only fear was that Arche would stop making them, so I ordered another pair just in case. I never want to not have these sandals! They are expensive, for sure. But in my opinion, worth it.
Love these! Classic style but with a pop of color!
Love these! Classic but with a touch of color!
Love the boot but the 6 was too small and the 7 was way too big.
These were very comfortable but decided the Munro which looked almost identical and were $100 cheaper were more comfortable. I wore the Munro all night to a party and never felt uncomfortable...a first for me in heels!
I loved this shoe! I have several Arche's in my closet that are timeless. Unfortunately I had to return. Minimum arch support and gaps around the ankle. I really wanted to keep them but....
I have had these before. Love them. Heels I can actually wear and they look great with pants. So happy to have found them again.
This is a beautiful shoe, and exactly what I wanted for dressy casual. It however is too tapered in the front for my feet, and hurt my bunion on the top of my big toe. I felt every step since it is very flexible. Also, it has no arch support. I tried it on with cotton trouser socks, and it was snug. I am sure it would have stretched. This would be a keeper for someone without problem feet.
VERY, VERY disappointed with these shoes. They cost $345.00. This is the 2nd pair I received. The first pair - size 40 - which is my size, was too tight. Zappos was kind and let me exchange them at no cost for a size 41. I tried them on at my office and walked around and they seemed fine. I purchased these $345. shoes specifically for a trip where I would be walking a lot so I decided to go get a coffee 2 blocks from the office. WOW...the soles are hard as rock, no give whatsoever, just so uncomfortable. When I returned to the office I took them off and there is already cracking of the leather insole. see photo. It's not a big crack but I had them on for 25 mins and they are $345.00 I cannot believe I paid $345.00 for such cheap, uncomfortable, shoes. Since I have worn them I don't think I can get my money back. Do yourself a favor and do not waste your money!! OMG - did I mention they are $345.00 DOLLARS?!!!!!
A shoe for walking and walking - very comfortable and soft, with a bouncy sole. As comfy as my sheepskin slippers, but with support! Uppers are "cerf" - that is, deerskin - at least for the noir-noir version. Not the most chic Arche, but the previous reviewer is correct: the long toe box and the pull-on tab at the back do give it a bit of style. I would recommend ordering your proper size - I'm a 10-10.5 and the 41 is perfect.
The fit was very nice, snug on my foot.The nice wide straps provide excellent adjustibility. I would only wear this shoe when I am planning a lot of walking. I did not keep this shoe because my foot requires more of a mid foot support over a full day of walking.
Handsome shoe. Beautiful burgundy color. Problem was that it was simply not comfortable. The ripples in the sole made walking unpleasant. Returned them and am trying another style of Arche. Stay tuned!
Arche shoes: absurdly expensive and absurdly comfortable. Nothing like them. It's all I will ever buy now that I've discovered them. If you can afford them, they're worth it.
I love these, but after I got the antique gold color, I realized I prefer the black. So I swapped them back for the black. Arche shoes are always pricey but the sandals, at least, are worth every penny. I will wear these for three weeks straight on vacation this fall, walking up to 10 miles a day. Arche are always perfect for that.
Beautiful royal blue suede. Would make the right outfit. Good fit. Not sloppy like many arche styles.
Overall nice fit and comfy when first slipping on but front toe area felt a little too wide even with my bunions. Since not perfect for $$$ it costs am returning.
I loved everything about this shoe but there was not enough padding under the ball of my foot for extended walking.
