With all that said, I was super pumped when the team at OOFOS wanted to send me a pair of OOFS to help my foot care and recovery game be on point in 2019 (and beyond). I have a variety of different shoes that I tend to use for post run, but they just don't provide me with the support and comfort that my feet need. OOFOS offers 3 keys features to wearers: impact absorption, arch support, and comfort. All of these features are definitely something that you want on your feet after a hard workout or race. It is so important to allow your body to recover properly and OOFOS are great to help your feet recover from life's journey while on the go.
The awesome team at OOFOS allowed me to select a model of their collection to try out. While I am in fact a lover of "flip flops", I knew that a slide would be most practical as a lot of the time I would be going from running shoe to OOFOS with my compression socks still on. The OOFOS OOmg Low Shoe would give me the recovery that my feet need all while still being in my compression socks. Win-win, right?
My plan was to put them with my race bag so I could slide into them after my race for breakfast and errands afterwards. While I was packing, I wanted to make sure that my OOFOS would fit me well so I tried them on. Seriously, as soon as my foot slid into the shoe I said "oooooooooooo." They are a mix of nice an "squishy" (OOfoam) and great support in all the right places.
OOFOS states that "Unlike flip-flops, the OOFOS patented footbed is designed with tremendous arch support to take the pressure off of ankles, knees and hips, as well as your lower back." (source: OOFOS). I couldn't agree more! I have a pretty high arch, so when products say that they offer great arch support I am typically very skeptical of them. The way the OOfoam "squishes" to conform to my feet and arch made it that every part of my foot felt supported. It is crazy - you would think that the foam would either be too soft and not support the foot well or be too stiff and not comfortable at all. Nope, OOFOS got this down pat!
The OOmg shoe features revolutionary OOfoam™ technology that absorbs 37% more impact than traditional footwear foam materials to reduce the stress on your feet and joints. This technology aids in the recovery process and creates an incredibly comfortable shoe you can wear anywhere. Our breathable 4-way stretch fabric allows for an incredibly comfortable shoe you won’t want to take off.
