OOahh Recovery Slide - Women’s and Men’s

LONG, DETAILED REVIEW: I received my OoFos recovery slides 11 days ago and have only taken them off while sleeping (and part of one day as a test) because I LOVE THEM. My feet and knees started feeling better immediately. The arch support, the shock absorption and the rocker bottom that takes pressure off the heel are everything the company says. For reference, I wear a women’s size 10.5 with an average width. I have low arches, over pronate (ankles/feet roll to the inside), have plantar fasciitis and a painful heel from stepping on a sharp rock while running. I prefer a wide toe box so my toes can spread naturally. If the toe box isn’t wide it crams my big toe into the others and quickly becomes painful (I could see that turning into a hammer toe if not careful). The slides have a great toe box but, as everyone knows, wide toe boxes are not necessarily “pretty” in women’s shoes. Screw fashion; I need my feet to make a living and enjoy my life. I purchased a woman’s 11 which is fine for me but probably could have done the size 10. I’t’s ok, I’d rather that they be slightly big than a little too small. I will try to include photos if that helps people make their decisions. I already wear shoes with arch support from morning until night. I slip on shoes before getting out of bed and even wear swimmer’s sandals with arch support when I’m in the shower. Yes, that is how much foot pain I have. If I can’t be mobile I can’t work in my profession so I’ve gotta do what I can. I’ve tried rotating through different shoes while at work and for that reason I have 4 different pairs waiting on the floor at work at any given time. So the only real change I’ve made so far is that I’ve been wearing these OoFas slides instead of my regular shoes that also have good arch support. My foot pain had gotten so bad that when I get a new pair of shoes of the same brand and model that worked for me previously my feet hurt as if I’ve already worn the shoes out. I have spent at least $850 on shoes costing $80-125 during the last 1.5 year trying to find something that can handle the abuse my feet endure by working 12-14 hours a day on concrete. I’ve been wearing these slides at work whenever possible even though they aren’t really a professional style just because I needed something and needed it fast. Previous to this the plantar fasciitis has been so excruciating that I am hobbling on and off and I cannot endure any of my usual athletic activities. My whole body is affected including my knees, hips and low back. With these shoes the PF is markedly improved already. Unbelievable. As a test I slipped my newest, most comfy running shoes on briefly on each day, stood there and took a few steps. Each time I feel my feet and knees start hurting immediately so I put the slides back on. After 1 day of wearing the slides I felt the muscles in my low back were noticeably loosening up so there has been some popping and relief in that area too. It did take me about an hour of getting used to the arch support and lower heel. I could feel some stretching so I took it slow walking in them at first so I wouldn’t hurt myself. After that I became less focused on that and just enjoyed the shock absorption and arch support. I know the support and shock absorption of these slides will only hold up so long, like with most athletic shoes. I use a Fitbit and log about 200 miles per month (and that’s when I’m not very active due to all this pain I’ve had). If I remember correctly, most athletic shoes should be replaced every 300 miles (that’s about 6 weeks for me) because I wear athletic shoes all day long at work so they don’t last long. So I’d be happy if these slides held up a month wearing them everyday, all day. Most people probably don’t put in as many miles as I do. To some people it might seem like $50 is a waste but in all honesty I’d spend $50 a month to deal with a lot less pain and return to my normal more active lifestyle. When I bought these I was desperate for some relief ASAP. I feel like after a couple more weeks I may be able to wear other shoes for part of the day again. I’m waiting on some other shoes designed for PF and knee pain to arrive so I’ll continue wearing these slides from the moment I get out of bed until I hit the hay again. I’ll check back in later for an updated review. Some things mentioned in other reviews - I personally did not notice a chemical smell with my shoes and I’m sensitive to chemicals so I would notice. I’ve not had slippage toward the front of the shoe but I’ve been wearing black athletic ankle socks with them so it’s not as obvious that I’m wearing sandals at work. LOL Even with socks I’ve had no trouble at all sliding them on but my foot isn’t wide and I do not have a high instep. I generally wear average width shoes. It does take a bit to get used to the feel of less pressure on your heel while walking or standing if you’ve never had a shoe with some degree of a rocker sole and prominent arch support. The rocker is part of how they work to relieve pain. I’ve not noticed any significant wear on the bottom but I do wear them mostly indoors and I don’t drag my feet. Depending on your foot and joint issues they may or may not be the right shoe for you but if you are flat footed, have PF or other foot/knee/leg joint pain they are worth a try. If you experience supination (weight falls more on the outside) anything with this level of arch support and a heel drop may not be a good fit for you but it’s up to you to try. If you do a lot of lateral movements this slide might not support your heel enough during those lateral activities but that is expected...it is a slide and it’s marketed as a comfy shoe to get some relief after exercise and not for everyday wear. I know I’m not wearing mine as they were intended to be worn because I wear them all day but they are helping me so far so I’m going with it.

These are my second pair, I absolutely love them! We have hardwood floors and laminate floors in the house, and these change everything. The amount of support is wonderful. I would say they run a smidgen small. The color is great I'd like to see a lot more different colors

I cannot recommend these OOFOS slides enough! I have completely flat feet, and my podiatrist specifically recommended that I get a pair of these to help with my foot pain. It has been an absolute life changer.They provide the exact structural arch support I need, which is incredibly hard to find in a slide or sandal. They are so comfortable that they have become my everyday slipper. I wear them constantly—whether I am walking around the house, running quick errands, or recovering after a long day on my feet. They go wherever I go.If you have flat feet or need serious arch support, do yourself a favor and buy these immediately!

This is the second pair of Oofos recovery slides I have bought, and I also own two pairs of Oofos shoes. I have plantar fasciitis and my podiatrist recommended the Oofos sandals to me because of that. My feet are too sensitvie to handle toe thongs well, so I went with the slides instead of the sandals. For the most part, I find them comfortable. The sole cushions my feet well, and the heel is the perfect height for me. I did find the sizing a bit challenging. I am a woman and wear size 10.5 in sneakers, and the company suggests sizing up. I got a size 10 for my first pair nevertheless and still, the slide was much too long and a bit too wide for my fairly wide feet. With my second pair, I sized further down to 9. When I sized down all the way to size 9, I found the slides to be slightly tight on the sides but just right in length. Since I knew from experience that the slides expand some after you wear them, I kept them and have not regretted it. I have a allergy to carba mix, a substance that can be found in rubber as well as other things. This is most probably the reason my foot gets itchy and pink under the strap. It is possible, though, that the problem is athlete's foot instead. I don't think so, but I'm putting that information out there in case it is. The best things about these slides is that they are far more comfortable for me than anything else I can wear around the house. I have tried other solutions, including cork soles, with no luck. Short of wearing shoes with custom-made orthotics, this is the best solution I have found. And I like that I can easily kick them off and slide my feet into them.

The size was good according to what I wear. They take a little getting used to maybe because of the arch or heel. Only problem for me is that they are rubber and my feet stick to them. Overall they are comfortable. I ordered the ones with straps so I can wear socks when it’s cold.

Love these shoes the soles are thick enough that it makes my knees not achy I’ve worn them all summer & planning on wearing them into the fall with thick socks. They seem to be better made than the previous ones I bought last year thicker and a bit wider than last years which is a bonus if you wear them everyday they will hold up a bit longer as they are pricey but worth it if you have arthritis in hips & knees I’m hoping they make winter wear oofos I would definitely buy a pair or two:-)

I bought these to use as house shoes to give my feet more support walking around on my hard floors inside. I had high hopes, and while I’m not ready to throw in the towel on them yet there are a few things that keep me from wearing them very much even after a couple of months: 1. I have very high arches and a high instep. I’ve been trying to break these in but they still feel very tight on the top of my foot and leave red marks. Even using the heat of my hair dryer on high didn’t help them to mold better to my foot and wearing them all day hasn’t made much difference either. Due to the tightness they are actually challenging to get on my foot without specifically positioning them individually. They aren’t “slip ons” for me 2. Since they fit very snug around my midfoot they are very hot and I sweat in them there. (Super hot summer where I live) 3. There is a lot of arch support and they are pretty shock absorbing, not sure they are helping my right foot bunion much though, but it could be how snug they are across the mid part of my foot. 4. They are very unattractive. So, I don’t think I’ll wear these much unless they get a lot more comfortable. Pretty disappointed, but I do have cranky hard to fit feet so these aren’t the first shoes to not live up to the hype for me.

Was tempted to knock off a star for looks, but that is not what these shoes are for. They are for comfort and they do that job well. My regular slides for popping out to check the mail etc were so uncomfortable, especially after I got Morton’s Neuroma in one of my feet. These shoes seem to distribute the weight of the foot in a completely different and better way that doesn’t put pressure on my painful spot. I don’t have to clench with my toes to keep them on, they stay on easily. They’re super cushy and comfy. I wear a (women’s) 9 and that’s the size I got and it fits. I was worried it would be too big or wide - I have slim, narrow feet and often comfort brands run big/wide and I especially worried the “strap” portion would be too roomy. But they actually fit just fine, what a relief! These have just made my life a little more easy and comfortable - I also have been wearing them in the kitchen if I’m going to be on my feet for a while for a bit of support. I’m so glad to have these.

مريحه في المشي ووصلت بسرعه

履き心地がもっちりしていてすごく気持ちいいです。 室内で使用しています。 サイズに関しては普段のサイズからワンサイズ上のを選んだ方が良いかもしれません。 外靴27cmを普段履いてますが、 27.5cmサイズの商品で少しだけバンド部分が窮屈に感じました。

Muy cómodas pero mi número que es el 45 me sobra chanclas por todos lados.
