"Lovely sandal, wrong shape for a lot of feet. A toe post sits exactly where a bunion is, and it only stays on if your toes hold it. If either of those is you, take a slide instead and you'll get the same foam."
Specs published by OOFOS
Stack height under the foot. The same foam as every OOFOS recovery style.
Full pair. The lightest of the three we stock.
A toe post between the first and second toes. Not right for every foot, see the FAQ.
US women's on this page. No half sizes and no widths.
A recovery sandal isn't a supportive shoe and isn't trying to be. Its job is the hours after the run, the shift, or the long day on hard floors. This is the lightest and least structured way OOFOS makes to get there.
This is the sandal the whole brand was built on, and it's still the one people reach for straight after a run. Nothing across the top of the foot, 9.5 oz for the pair, and 20 mm of foam under a heel that has just done five miles on pavement.
It isn't competing with your running shoe. It's what stops the loading when the run is over.
Whatever you think of a toe post, the back half of this sandal is identical to the OOahh: a walled, rounded cup that lets the fat pad under your heel settle into the foam instead of sitting on top of it. If you buy one of these for the first steps out of bed, that's the part doing the work.
OOFOS says OOfoam absorbs 37% more impact than traditional footwear. That's cushioning, and on a sandal with this little upper it's the entire product. Nothing here is holding your arch or controlling your foot.
One molded piece with nothing to wear through. Wash them and air dry, but keep them out of the dryer, because heat is what breaks foam down.
Impact and APMA figures are published by OOFOS and quoted here as the manufacturer's claims. OOFOS publishes nothing about the toe post, so everything this page says about it is our own fitting experience, not theirs. Recovery footwear isn't a treatment for any medical condition. If you have diabetes, neuropathy, or any loss of sensation in your feet, talk to us or your doctor before wearing an open sandal.
These are reviews of our Matthews, NC store, not of this sandal. We'd rather show you real reviews of the fitting than invented reviews of the product.
Read all of them on Google →The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The staff have helped me find shoes to alleviate my plantar fascitias pain.
I am learning to walk again & heal after a procedure to my spine. Thanks to Jim I am able to stand up straight without pain!!!
Excellent service! Pam was very helpful and informative as she guided me through the process.
The toe post, sizing, orthotics, care, and how to reach us.
Almost certainly, and we'd rather lose the sale than have you find out at home. The post sits in the web space right next to the joint that a bunion pushes outward, so it rubs on the tender side of it with every step.
The OOahh Slide is the same 20 mm of OOfoam and the same footbed with nothing between your toes. That's the pair we'd put you in.
Then we'd steer you away from a thong. It only stays on if your toes grip it, and toes that are already contracting don't need more of that.
If you have diabetes or any loss of sensation, a toe post is a rub point in the one place people check least, and you won't feel it if it breaks the skin. Please call us at (704) 846-0301 or talk to your doctor before choosing open footwear.
The upper, and nothing else that matters. Both are 20 mm of OOfoam on the same patented footbed with the same cupped heel. This one is a thong with a toe post and is half an ounce lighter for the pair. The OOahh is a slide with a strap over the forefoot, and is labeled in men's sizes.
Pick on the upper, not the foam. They cushion identically.
The sizes on this page are US women's. OOFOS builds one unisex sandal and labels it two ways, so if you normally shop men's, add 2 to get your size here: a men's 9 is the women's 11.
Whole sizes only, no half sizes and no widths. Between sizes, go up. If your feet swell through the day, size for the evening rather than the morning.
For a lot of people they help with the part of the day nobody thinks about: the first steps out of bed and the last hour at home. Deep cushioning with a cupped heel is much kinder to an irritated heel than a bare tile floor. What they won't do is support the arch through a working day, and they aren't a treatment. If your heel pain is new or getting worse, get it looked at.
No. There's no insole to lift out: the footbed is molded into the sandal itself, so an orthotic has nowhere to sit and nothing to sit against. If you rely on orthotics, treat these as something to change into around the house and call us at (704) 846-0301 for a shoe that will actually take them.
Height 20 mm. Weight 9.5 oz for the full pair. OOfoam footbed with OOFOS's patented footbed geometry and a rounded, cupped heel. Whole sizes only, unisex build, labeled in US women's on this page. Machine wash and air dry.
Every figure there is published by OOFOS for this style. They don't publish a heel-to-toe drop, don't describe the footbed as removable, and publish nothing at all about the toe post, so we don't list any of those as facts.
Machine wash and air dry. Keep them out of the dryer and away from radiators, because heat is what breaks the foam down and the foam is the entire product. OOFOS warrants every pair against defects in material and workmanship for six months.
Yes to both, and with a toe post we'd rather you tried. We're at 924 Park Center Dr, Ste 101, Matthews, NC 28105, open Monday to Friday 10 to 6 and Saturday 10 to 4.
Call (704) 846-0301 and you reach our fitting team, not a call center.
Usually not for a recovery sandal on its own. Some plans reimburse therapeutic footwear when it's recommended for a diagnosed condition, which normally means a letter of medical necessity from your doctor. Call us before you buy and we'll tell you honestly where this pair is likely to fall.
