OOFOSUnisex OOahh Slide, Black - Lightweight Recovery Footwear - Reduces Stress on Feet, Joints & Back - Machine Washable

Hi! I love these shoes, now have 2 pairs, but I did notice a sizing thing with my two pairs. The first was a women's size 8, which fit perfect. The second pair is a men's 6, which is to be a women's 8, which it is. Because I have wide feet, I often buy men's shoes to get that little extra wiggle room, when buying runners or work-type shoes. I think that if I had narrow or regular width of women's sizing, then the men's 6 is just too wide, it's almost too wide for me, and I've been buying men's shoes for 20 years now. So if you need super comfort, and have a women's narrow foot, make sure to buy women's. I do plan on buying another color in the future.

I bought these due to having pretty bad overpronation and needing a pair of slide on sandals versus thong sandals. I kept seeing this brand and it seemed very popular. What I didn’t realize is that these are more so “rockers” versus orthotic sandals. Reminds me of a popular brand of shoes that came out about 20 years ago to loose weight. I may have been able to get use to that feature but what I found with these and almost every EVA foam shoe like it is that they are made for people with exceptionally long toes. I have average size feet, I’m size a women’s size 8 and do not have stubby short toes and there was a 2-3 inch space from end of toe to end of sandal which to me just looks strange. Coupled with the fact that I was looking for sandals that had an actual raised arch support, I returned these.

I’m now on my fourth pair over past 6-8 years. How I often I order depends on use. My last pair wore a little more quickly because I’ve been working from home since mid-March during pandemic. We live in OK with no basements, hard floors on top of cement foundation. I started wearing these shoes in my late 30’s - I was looking for more cushion that my Crocs slides provided. Oofos greatly reduce joint/muscle fatigue walking/standing on hard surfaces while doing daily activities, caring for myself and family- cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. I recommend taking it easy if you wear with socks- no quick turns/pivots or you foot can slide off of the side. Also, wearing with socks stretches them out quicker. I also don’t recommend these slides if your feet tend to sweat- it will likely cause sliding around in footbed. They are so easy to pop in the washer and air dry.

While the price put me off initially, I am so pleased that I decided to buy these! My house is 100% tile and it was taking a toll on my feet, especially my plantar fasciatis. I've been searching for weeks for a thick soled sandal to wear around the house and while Isotoners were soft and fluffy, after a few weeks I could feel them flattening. These are super thick and soft, they will never lose their shape or cushioning. They've made such a difference, it has been wonderful! These are so thick and cushiony that I don't even feel the tile under me feet! I wear a 6.5 so I purchased the 7's and they're a tiny bit longer than my feet but it's not an issue, they are snug and stay secure. If you have the $$$ I would recommend these in a heartbeat!

I now have four pairs…2 flip flops and 2 sandal slides. They are great after exercise but I use them constantly as house sandals. When I’m at home I don’t like heavy sneakers or shoes, so I leave them by the door and slip these on. They do take a little getting used to and you may feel a little off balance at first. Persist! I have been wearing this type of sandal for over a year now, and recently I felt that my balance had improved, had not expected this so is one more reason I love them.
