- OOriginal Recovery Sandal - Women’s and Men’s

I need a summer shoe that provides great arch/foot support, and that fits my feet. I recently rubbed the top of my foot raw with a new pair of closed shoes, so was looking for something that didn't rub that part of my foot. I have wide high volume feet: size 10 E or EE in Women's (usually a 9 EE or EEEE in Men's), a high arch, a high instep, and short chunky toes. I have recurring plantar fasciitis as well as pain on the side of my foot that both are much improved when I have enough support; with my high arch, it is hard to find supportive sandals (no orthotic can fit). Because there are almost no wide sandals or flip flops that also have support, my choices were limited and I had to try several average width shoes. But, we all have differently shaped feet, so what works for one in a shoe, will not work at all for another. I spent hours reading reviews, bought 4 pairs, and none worked. This time, I bought 7 pairs: Oofas, Birkenstock EFAs, Chacos, New Balance, Vionic, and 2 pair of Footminders. The Oofas were the first pair out of the box. It was so nice to put something on that was an instant possibility after the four failures earlier in the week. I ordered the 11W/9M because I figured I would gain some width and I usually wear a 9 Men's shoe. Initial fit - it was a bit snug. These are not sold as wide shoes; I was hoping that they would be both wide enough and have a long enough strap to fit over my high instep. My feet pushed into them with a bit of effort. The material is soft and doesn't rub, so I felt hopeful. Since I have had Crocs before and they are snug to start but stretch, I was also hopeful that these would stretch a bit over time. (Still have to see about that.) Width - For a shoe that is not sold as a wide, the footbed is wide. Not super wide, but wide enough for my feet, though I did size up a full size compared to a normal Women's shoe. Better yet, the thong placement was accurate for my chunky big toe. Often the placement is such that the inside of my foot hangs off the foot bed. In this shoes, my whole foot fit! Length - as suspected, they are a bit long. But, I did order up from my normal Women's size. They are not so long, however, to be a problem. Comfort and support - walking is like walking on...well, i do not know what! It is very soft and comfortable. Better yet, to me, is that the entire bottom of my foot is touching the shoe; that doesn't happen often unless I have inserts. Wear - no idea. Literally have had them a few hours. Will try to remember to post in a few months about how they wear and if they stretch out. Overall - these are a bit snug. If you have C or D width women's feet, order your normal size. E or EE, order up a size. If your arches are not high, they should be perfect. I have had them on while writing this and I can definitely tell that they are on my feet, but they are not cutting off circulation. There is still a lot of room past my toes, but I expect that with relatively short toes. See photos for more info.

Love these. They really help with the pain that I’ve been having and seem to offer mote support than flatter ones. Size is perfect for me.

Loooooove OOFOS! I have arthritis that has changed the structure of my feet. I have swelling in the ball of my foot that never goes away. Most shoes I cannot stand to walk in because there isn’t enough padding for the ball of that foot. I met my bff for a weekend trip to the beach and complimented her flip flop style shoes. She told me they were OOFOS and insisted I try them on and walk in them. She loves her OOFOS. She has advanced scoliosis so I knew they must have helped her. They felt heavenly! My foot was very swollen from getting ready for our trip, driving to our destination, and just being on my feet more. When I put her shoes on and walked in them I couldn’t believe that my swollen foot didn’t hurt and I wasn’t hobbling when I walked. I immediately ordered a pair and wear them every day around my house. I bought another pair to wear out and I am about to buy my third pair. These are great for arthritic feet!

My Plantar Fasciitis has been acting up for the past week or so. I had gone two years without a flare up by wearing wider shoes and adding Walk Hero orthotic insoles to my daily shoe wearing. After spending 3 weeks in a hotel room with concrete floors, well that is what caused the problem. Anyway, I am tired of wearing tennis shoes around the house, so I ordered the OOFOS. Day 1, hour 1 - On a scale from 1-10, my pain went from a 6 while walking down to a 1 wearing these sandals. What a relief! And I can kick them off and put my feet up.

True to size. A little tight between big toe, but it stretches out a little. Great arch support. Good cushion. I use these for indoor house slippers only as I am very flat footed.

I love these sandals! They are very comfortable with a lot a support and I wear them all day every day. Would definitely recommend

These sandals are a great. My wife has foot problems and these OOFOS are the only sandals that give her the needed arch support. This is her third pair and she swears by them.

Its soft and comfortable, for flat feet and planter fascitis. Liked it

Das Fussbett ist eine Wohltat. Toll. Wenn nur auch die Schuhe von Oofos so wären.

La planta del pie se siente cómoda y descansada. La tira delantera forma parte de la base de la sandalia, no la atraviesa por un agujero, lo que la hace resistente y duradera. Es el segundo par que compro y las uso para playa y paseos cómodos y también para casa.

楽

届いてさっそく部屋履きに。スニーカーのサイズは24.5㎝ですが、ユニセックスの25㎝で足袋ソックス履いて違和感なしです。立ってるときには爪先にほとんど体重がかからない仕様のようです。歩くと、けり出すときにだけ爪先が床につくような。中足骨頭痛の私にはよさそうだけど、フォアフット派の人には向かないかも。しばらく履いてよさそうなら、夏に裸足になるときには女性用モデルを買ってみようかと思います。

So very very comfortable, expensive though !!
