Review of Original Oofos Sandals

11/12/2018

 
I received Oofos Cloud White Ooriginal Sport Sandals to test and review for a month.

​Runners are notorious for ugly feet. The miles aren't kind. It's true for me, too. My feet make it hard to take appealing photos, but I think the Oofos make up for it. Keep reading to see why I love my Oofos sandals for recovery and more.

Oofos Sandals for Recovery 

Oofos are perfect after a run. They comfort my feet, knees, and legs after a few (or many) miles. They're one of the best pairs of recovery sandals I've tried.

Just look at that thick sole. 
Oofos have 1.25 inches of pillow-soft, shock-absorbing, sole-soothing support. Whether I walk across cement, mulch, gravel, brick, or asphalt, it's comfortable. The thick sole absorbs any shock. That means a lot after a long race when you walk a mile back to your car.
​

Since I live in Florida, I wear sandals year-round. As I said, this pair with all the cushion and comfort are my go-to post workout sandals. But, I find I'm wearing them all the time because they feel so good.

Oofos Sandals for Travel

Whether you're traveling by air to a race or to another event, these sandals offer easy comfort. Plus, they're simple to slip on and off at airport security. That's a win.
We began our trip in 84 degrees in Florida. But, we were headed to Pennsylvania where it was cold and rainy. That didn't stop me from wearing my Oofos to the airport and on our flights. They were just right for logging miles on hard airport floors all day. Even better, the sandals helped my tired feet and legs recover from a long run the previous day.

Next, was the airport. Oofos are easy off and on again when you go through airport security check points.

Oofos Sandals for Getting Things Done and Fun

While Oofos Sport Sandals are made for sports recovery, they work well for any occasion. I've worn them for long walks, post race, travel, and running errands.

Check out the special editions for the New York and Chicago Marathons in my Nov. 5th blog post. There Oofos slip ons sandals, clogs, and shoes for both men and women.

OOfoam technology absorbs 37% more impact than other foams. That translates to less stress on your feet, knees, and joints. It's a great feeling after any race 5K to marathon to ultra!

Watching the TCS New York City Marathon

11/5/2018

 
Is there anything better than watching a world major marathon unfold? Does everyone cry as the leaders finish like I do? It was pure joy watching everyone run the TCS New York City Marathon yesterday.

​Spectating online and in front of the TV isn't close to being there in person, but it sure was fun. Congrats to everyone who worked so hard to achieve the marathon milestone. It's inspiring! Extra cheers to all those fab NY Medal Monday shots on social today!

And yes, I appreciate the irony of watching the marathon from the couch while wearing recovery sandals. But, I can vouch for how nice they make my feet feel after a run — of any distance!

World Class Recovery Sandals by OOFOS

I hope all those marathoners can get their feet into a pair of OOFOS sandals or shoes today and the rest of the week. ​There are special 2018 NY Marathon sandal and slides available. Besides making your feet feel good, every OOFOS purchase contributes to finding a cure for breast cancer.

If you want to commemorate your race and treat your feet, check out OOFOS special edition 2018 NYC recovery sandals and slides. Happy recovery to all.

Have You Heard of Oofos Original Sports Sandals?

10/8/2018

 

#FeelTheOO is Real!

I am so happy to get my feet in a pair of Oofos recovery sandals! Their arrival was perfect timing. I ran a hilly 5 miler the day before and could feel it in my tired legs. So, I wore these sandals all day the next day. They felt great. I didn't have to break them in. The strap was pliable and soft. No rubbing at all.

I received these Oofos Cloud White Ooriginal Sport Sandals to test and review.
I'll use them a lot during my current half marathon training cycle. Many runners I know love Oofos. So, I'm expecting good things.

After I log some miles I'll write a full review. 
For now, here are a few photos for you.

Oofos has sport sandals in lots of fun colors. They even have special editions for the New York and Chicago Marathons! They make slip ons sandals, clogs, and shoes for men and women.

According to Oofos, the OOfoam technology absorbs 37% more impact than other foams. That means less stress for your feet, knees, and joints. Being kind to your feet and legs after a workout is the right thing to do for proper recovery.

Here in Florida we wear flip flops and sandals all year long. I know my sandals will get a lot of use!
