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.

The OOFOS OOahh Recovery Slides are some of the most comfortable sandals I've ever worn. The cushioning is incredibly soft and supportive, making them perfect for wearing after workouts, long walks, or just around the house. They provide excellent arch support and noticeably reduce the impact on my feet and joints. Even after wearing them for hours, my feet feel much less fatigued compared to regular slides. They're also lightweight, easy to clean, and the slip-on design makes them convenient for everyday use. Overall, these recovery slides are worth every penny if comfort is your priority. They're well-made, durable, and have made a noticeable difference in how my feet feel after a long day. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for supportive, comfortable footwear.

Love these. Excellent support and highly recommend them for comfort and support.

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.

I am so excited to be the proud owner of a pair of Oofos. I was introduced to the brand from my father-in law he wears these sandals on any long walk in the summer. He brags about the comfort, thickness and strength. I bought my husband a pair around Christmas and he was immediately obsessed and began wearing them as house slippers!! I tried his on and knew I needed a pair of my own. They are worth the price. I tried initially the flip flop style but it was too tight and didn’t want to wait to stretch them out. When I had some extra money I bought the ones I got for my husband and I’m in love with walking in my house. It is helping with my lower back pain and I’m so glad I have these shoes to turn to for long summer walks.

I’m writing this the first day I’ve tried them on. They’re incredibly comfortable, sort of. They’re narrow and my feet feel crammed on the pinky toe side, enough that it significantly bothers me. I do not have wide feet. I am used to wearing “altra” brand trail shoes (with the wide toe box). I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to wear these long term. I’m going to try them for a few days and some longer walks and I’ll update my review. I’m wearing true to size - I’m a size 6, 6.5 is always too big for me (unless it’s trail running shoes - with those I wear a 6.5) and ordered a size 6. Also, all of the color choices are so ugly IMO. These (“nomad”) seemed the best of the available color choices, and the color is god awful in real life. Why can’t there be a light yellow, or a light orange, or a sea foam green, or a cream, or a warmer tan, or a grass green, or a pale blue, or a bright orange… Anyway. I got them for the function. So I’ll update on the fit as I wear them a bit more. *update* - after wearing around the house for only an hour and a half or so, I had to take them off. Caused red marks on my feet from being too tight (see photo), was painful. Again, I have never in my life worn a “wide” shoe. My feet are a standard width. It also aggravated the nerve injury I bought them to support (from the pressure of how tight they were), causing tingling for the rest of the day. I opted to return them, and I purchased a different brand similar shoe to try - and the other brand is much more comfortable/wearable (and wider) and has nicer colors too.

OOFOS recovery slide is by far the most comfortable slide type shoe I have owned. I wear a pair inside to walk on my tile floor. And I have a pair for the backyard and one for the front yard. I have work them for a year. The only down side is that they are very slippery when wet….i wear them with socks and without. I prefer the nonthong type

I was a barefoot walker in my house. Never wore shoes. And then I developed a foot injury and was told I shouldn't be walking barefoot ever. I have a tear in the plantar plate of my second toe, joint effusion, and mild tenosynovitis. Walking was painful. It got to the point where I started limping. Surgery was recommended to fix it. So I bought these to walk around the house in. Honestly I think they were the main source of allowing my foot to heal. I do also have prescription custom orthotics now for my leave-the-house shoes, but these sandals are what I wear the majority of the time since I work from home. I've been wearing them for 2.5 months. This is actually a second pair I purchased. I no longer have foot pain. I have no foot pain at all when I'm wearing these. I have no foot pain when I walk barefoot - which is usually just walking from the bedroom to the shower or bathroom in the night. I have more foot pain wearing my prescription orthotics than I do wearing these sandals. These sandals saved me from needing surgery, because I was on the verge of having that done. These sandals and the prescription orthotics were the last attempt to fix the pain before the surgical solution. I'll always have the torn plantar plate unless at some point I do get surgery. Until then, I'll be wearing these sandals to put that off as long as possible. So a few things about the sandal itself. They're some kind of foam. I can't wear them without socks because my skin sticks to them and it feels awful. I have to wear wool socks because non-wool socks get smelly fast. The one time I wore something else, the sandals and the socks stunk by the end of the day. I'm not a smelly foot person so it was absolutely these sandals as the cause. I think whatever these sandals are made of help to contain the bacteria that makes feet smell. Wool socks are very good at preventing this. The sandals are HOT. The first pair I purchased was in August. I'm very much a person who feels the temperature of my feet. If my feet are hot, I'm hot. If my feet are cold, I'm cold. Well, hot feet in August is not fun. I ended up exchanging them for a larger size and that helped a lot. That let my feet breathe a bit. I wear a size 10 in women’s shoes. I'm wearing a size 12 in these. They are absolutely too big. There's about an inch of space in front of my toes and behind my heel. Despite this, I don't trip around the house because they're too big. They work great. And they don't feel so tight wearing socks which allows my feet to stay cooler. Now that's it's nearly winter, I'm doubling up on socks because despite the warmth they have in summer, my exposed toes are too cold for the winter. So I need more room for that. They're too big, but they work well for me. And as you wear them they squish down a bit so they become bigger inside. I'm wearing the older pair with two pairs of socks and I wear the newer pair with one pair of socks. You can throw them in the washing machine to wash them. Which I've done a few times. I've also hand washed them. But honestly, the washing machine works great, so there's no need to take the time to hand wash. They're expensive, in my opinion, but considering they saved me from surgery, they're worth it.

Perfette per chi ha dolori ai piedi non creano stress L’unica cosa é che fanno sudare il piede Veramente comode Soddisfatta anche se l’articolo parlava di un 36 EU donna Arrivato un 37 e1/2 tenute ugualmente Consegna perfetta anzi 1 giorno prima del previsto

Parfait, pour soulager les pieds après une course à pied!

These are great!! Really soft, cushioned and comfy AND they have good arch support too which is what I wanted. I have pain in one heel (could be plantar fasciitis) and always have bear feet when walking around the house. I wanted a flip flop style footwear that didn't use a thong style grip between your toes so I could slip on and off. I can also wear socks if its really chilly but most importantly I wanted some arch support to take the weight off my heel. These OOfos are ideal. The top of the shoe is made from material that is soft too which doesn't grab the hairs on the top of my foot so slide on and off easily. They don't make my feet sweaty either. Great value, highly recommended!! I will be buying another pair when these wear out!

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

Provides excellent comfort and support for active and non active people ! I wore my pair for the better part of a day in doors and then switched to my crocks and the difference in support was insane ! As others have stated if you are in between sizes even with wide feet size down (I’m a 10 1/2 and ordered a 10 and it it fits perfectly) Be mindful using wet feet as the material can cause some chaffing so in the summer with sweaty feet might be an issue but for just indoor use they’re great, alternatively just wear socks to create a barrier. One thing of note if you order you could end up with a Vietnam or Korea manufactured pair, in my experience the Korean pair was a better print but they both did exactly what they’re meant for and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase ! 👍🤠
