Oh, oh, It's Magic...Our Favorite Recovery Footwear
Like many active humans, you spent your early days playing sports, jumping on trampolines, walking marathons across Europe, and wearing improper footwear for the sake of looking “good” … even when you know it compromised comfort — gentlemen, this goes for you you, too!
Extreme sports, outdoor adventures, and everyday exercise alike start catching up to us. Often in the form of knee pain, back pain, or even hips and shoulder pain (it’s awesome getting older, huh?) we do our best to self manage through physical therapy, stretching, or for some, medication and surgery. While there is no magic formula just yet there are ways to make small changes every day that can make a big impact. But would you believe us if we told you you could do so by simply improving your footwear?
Regardless of age, lifestyle, and activity level, if you’re a human with feet we want to tell you about a revolutionary footwear brand changing the name of recovery and comfort — OOFOS.
Coming from experience, the first time stepping into a pair of OOFOS felt more like magic. Like small clouds surrounding every inch of your foot with just the right amount of support. An instant mood changer and one that just gets better with every step.
So, what are they?
Exercise and longterm standing or walking is demanding on your joints, particularly in areas like your feet and ankles. And after a long day or intense workout, that translates into fatigue, muscle tightness, and pain or soreness.
Made with proprietary OOfoam™ technology, OOFOS absorb 37% more impact* than traditional foam footwear materials for the perfect blend of cushion and stability. Built to enhance the recovery process and take the stress off tired soles and joints while giving your feet the freedom of natural movement in a shoe you can wear all day, every day.
Based on a 2018 University of Virginia laboratory study, OOFOS cradle and support arches to reduce energy exertion in the ankles by up to 47%* when compared to competitors’ footwear. So walking is easier. Recovery is faster. And YOU actually feel better.
“OOFOS recovery footwear helps the deep intrinsic muscles of the feet to “wake up” and do the job they were designed to do—to support the “whole”body to perform and feel its best. ... the OOfoam and the footbed design. ...helps the rest of the body’s biomechanics to be more efficient. And if the body is working less hard, less energy needs to be extended, which is always great for recovery.”
What we love Most
Support and comfort where it matters most
Simply put, they reduce pressure and demand on your feet and joints. So instead of feeling fatigue, pain, and tightness, you’re left feeling recharged and weightless. Proper walking mechanics are key to avoiding even more issues within your joints, so it’s imperative to find something that complements your lifestyle.
The perfect travel companion
While OOFOS are targeted as a workout recovery shoe for both men and women, they are also perfect for travel and sightseeing. The minimalist construction is lightweight making it easy to pack away in luggage or a backpack. Plus they are extremely durable making those long treks seem almost effortless. Did we mention they also float?
Easy to style and clean
As if it couldn’t get any better - OOFOS are machine washable. The foam is moisture- and bacteria-resistant for easy cleanup making shining these shoes simple. With hundreds of styles and colors to choose from, there is something for everyone and every occasion. We wash ours on a bi-weekly basis and not only love not having to wear socks with them but love that they don’t carry harsh odor.
