Prior to leaving for Princess Half Marathon Weekend, I was contacted by OOFOS regarding a review. Disclaimer: I was sent a pair of OOFOS to review, free of charge – all opinions stated are my own, I did not receive any monetary compensation for this review.
I remembered seeing these all over the parks after previous runDisney races and just knew I had to try them out. I’d heard they were crazy comfortable and felt amazing to wear after running a race/walking in the parks all day, etc.
My first debate in the ordering process was the color choice. OOFOS come in a WIDE variety of sizes and colors. After a little debate between a pretty aqua blue and black, I finally decided on black because I figured it would match anything.
OOFOS are made from a unique and proprietary material called OOfoam, which is 37 percent more impact absorbent than EVA, OOFOS allow the recovery process to begin as soon as you finish your workout and slip them on!
OOFOS offer unparalleled impact absorption and arch support, yet they are soft and insanely comfortable. Our biometrically designed footbed massages the foot, causing you to feel the OO as you tackle all of your daily responsibilities.
These shoes truly live up to their description!
Like walking on a bed of clouds, I kid you not!
Here you can see the awesome arch support!
OOFOS come in full sizes only and I hear they run small – I ordered mine as an 8 (I wear an 8 in work tennis shoes and an 8.5 in running shoes) and the size 8 OOFOS fit great!
These shoes were made for recovery. After running the Princess Half Marathon, I found myself wishing I had these with me. I was incredibly envious of those I saw wearing them around the parks. My feet were definitely feeling all of the excess park walking plus race mileage on top of that! I’m running the Diva’s Half Marathon in Galveston in a few weeks and I’m curious to see how they feel after that. I’ll keep you guys posted!
Head over to OOFOS to check out their great products in a wide variety of colors! Your feet will thank you later! :)

Have you ever tried/do you own a pair of OOFOS? What are your thoughts on them?
I absolutely love my Oofos and bought a second pair in periwinkle, because I "needed" a pair that would match my Boston Marathon finisher jacket! haha
ReplyDeleteYES! That's awesome...I might have to purchase an aqua pair - love that color, too! :)
DeleteBy the way, I definitely agree with you - a matching pair is a MUST for Boston!!
DeleteThanks for the review! I always see runners wearing these, and I've been dying to try them! I can't stand walking around in sneakers (or any kind of enclosed shoe, really) after a race, so I pretty much just rely on my Crocs flip flops. It would be awesome to try a sandal with that little bit of extra support.
ReplyDeleteYou would love them, Jennifer!!
DeleteNever heard of them, but they look awesome!!

They are amazing!!
DeleteI love these sandals! I had seen them at many expos but never really gave them a second thought. They really do feel like clouds!
ReplyDeleteSame here...I love them!
DeleteI was on vacation in Hawaii and found these amazing OOFOS sandals in a small store. I tried them on , walked around and immediately the pain I had in my knee subsided ! When I stepped up and down from a curb there was no impact on my knee. I walked and walked for hours, and was amazed how good I felt. I was wondering where I could find more of these recently, and did a google search for dealers in Canada. I found a guitar store in East Vancouver at 2741 East Hastings St. called Westcoast Guitars selling the product today and grabbed a pair of slides for my self and another pair for my wife. The owner informed me he has been wearing OOFOS sandals for a few years, and said a lot of musicians are also buying them. Nice to know I can get them in Canada now .
ReplyDeleteI bought my first OOFOS sandals at Westcoast Guitars in Vancouver Canada the local dealer. I have knee trouble and they really helped me because of the low impact when stepping up and down, and walking on pavement or hard floors. I liked them so much I got another pair to wear just indoors !
ReplyDeleteShoe fitting may seem like such a simple task, but performing it correctly can be somewhat complicated. A proper fitting shoe is vital for comfort and for prevention of injury. I find this web http://bestshoeswomen.com/best-tennis-shoes-for-flat-feet/
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this post. Running shoes are designed to handle the shock of 2.5 times your body weight that is created by the impact each time your foot strikes the ground.Perfectkicks
