Perfect timing just in time for Father’s Day and an up and coming beach holiday. My husband loves them and has already taken to wearing them around the house as a tester. My husband is a classic size 8 and whilst they fit they do come up quite generous. The box they come in is rather large and very much like a present when opening them. The footwear comes in a soft drawstring bag and a lovely velvet-feel towel which could be used for beach, sport or gym. I feel sure this will take pride of place in his golf bag.
OOFOS Men’s Ooriginal Plus Sandals are beautifully soft and almost hug your feet. Surprisingly, they are as light as a feather despite looking bulky. My husband is rather flat footed so these are ideal as they have a built in arch shape along with a deep wedge typed sole so ideal for walking without putting pressure on your feet and calves. He also suffers with plantar fasciitis so these will really be put to the test. I can see why OOFOS are often purchased as a recovery footwear item.
OOFOS claims to have a revolutionary foam material which absorbs 37% more impact than traditional foam footwear. This aims to reduce stress on feet, heels and joints.
I love their website which gives an insight into their “crew” members and their motivational and inspiring stories and how OOFOS have become their go-to footwear items for both sport and assisting with rehabilitation after surgery. The name apparently came from the physical reaction people had when trying on the footwear. The brand was founded in 2011 by a team of footwear industry veterans. They wanted to create a shoe focused on recovery and impact absorption, rather than the energy return found in most athletic shoes. They also support The Royal Marsden by donating 1% of all sales directly to the hospital.
They have a great range of styles and colours for both men and women; Sandals, shoes, clogs, boots and slippers. There is a fab selection of colours in addition to the standard black and white including mint, chalk, Nomad, primrose, ocean blue, navy slate, latte, tactical green and Razz Fade (red) so great for all seasons.
The men’s range are available in sizes ranging from 7 – 12 and women’s sizes 4-9. They also have extended sizes in some of the men’s ranges to a size 13. There is a detailed sizing chart on the website to ensure you order the correct size for your feet. Whilst you can purchase globally online there are a number of retail partners around the country that offer a smaller range of the footwear.
