OOriginal Sandal
Specifically engineered for post-exercise recovery, using proprietary OOfoam technology that absorbs 37% more impact than traditional footwear foam. It is highly effective for individuals with plantar fasciitis or joint pain.
Ingredients & Purity
Constructed from OOfoam, a closed-cell foam that is moisture and bacteria resistant. It is lightweight and machine washable.
Scientific Evidence
A 2018 study at the University of Virginia School of Medicine confirmed that OOFOS reduces pressure on the feet and joints compared to traditional foam footwear.
Brand Transparency
While the foam technology is proprietary, the brand is clear about the intended use-case and anatomical design.
Value Assessment
Priced fairly for a specialized recovery tool, though the foam will eventually compress and lose efficacy faster than cork or PU.
Why Not Alternatives?
Standard EVA flip-flops provide almost no shock absorption; OOFOS's foam density is specifically tuned to reduce load on ankles and knees, which Hoka and Adidas slides do not match in independent testing.
