OOFOS OOahh Sport Flex Recovery Sandal

I don’t usually write long reviews, but I’m making an exception because these OOFOS OOahh Sport Flex recovery sandals are genuinely one of the best footwear purchases I’ve made in years. First impression: the cushioning is different from a normal “soft” slide. A lot of soft slides feel squishy for 10 minutes and then your feet start working to stabilize, and you end up tired anyway. These feel like they’re actually absorbing impact and supporting you at the same time. The footbed has a real shape to it, so your feet don’t just pancake out or slide around. The arch support is the standout for me. It’s supportive without feeling like a hard orthotic. I can wear these around the house for hours, doing chores, cooking, walking around, and my feet still feel good at the end of the day. I originally wanted them as a “recovery” sandal, but they quickly became my default indoor/outdoor slide because they’re comfortable and stable. The Sport Flex strap is a big reason I chose this version. I like being able to adjust the top because feet can swell a bit throughout the day, and I don’t love straps that are either too tight or too loose. With these, I can set it once and it stays comfortable. Also, the fit feels secure enough that I’m not gripping with my toes to keep them on (which I didn’t even realize I was doing with other slides until I tried these). They’re also surprisingly versatile: around the house (my #1 use) quick errands after workouts / long days on my feet travel / hotel shoes pool/beach days (easy to rinse off) Sizing note: I found the fit true-to-size, but if you’re between sizes or prefer more room, consider sizing up. (That’s especially true if you have wider feet or want extra space with socks.) Durability/quality: The material feels sturdy and doesn’t feel like it’s going to compress into a flat sponge after a month. The sole has good traction for a slide, and the construction feels solid. They also clean easily—wipe with a damp cloth or rinse and they’re good. If you’re on the fence because of price: I get it. But after wearing these, I honestly think they’re worth it because they’re the rare “comfort item” that actually performs the way people claim. I love these and will absolutely buy another pair.

I purchased these for post recovery after a bunion and TMT fusion surgery. They are wonderful and true to size. These are great specifically to me post recovery is because I can adjust the strap to accommodate the swelling on the top of my foot. I always buy the Oofos Oolala sandals every summer since they're so amazing and these are right up there too! Super comfortable. Amazing value for your money. You can try on other kinds all you want but these are it! The arch support is great, I have high arches. They are not slippery, they're very stable. They are also super easy to clean. I recommend. I'm a lifer! Read more

A friend recommended these for my self-diagnosed plantar fasciitis. I find them very comfortable. The arch takes a little getting used to as it's kind of high, but it feels really good. I wear anywhere between a size 8 to a 9 depending on the shoe. I bought an 8 in these and they fit great. I think a 9 would have been too big. They are already wide, so those of us with wide feet, shouldn't have an issue. You can adjust them with the Velcro strap on top if you need to. They are expensive, but I'm hoping they relieve my foot pain that I have sporadically through some days. Read more

I didn't think these could make a difference in recovery and injury prevention, but they do. Worn in place of socks, slippers or Birkenstocks around the house before and after biking and running workouts has been associated with an absence of calf and achilles pain for the first time in years. I'm not a fan of excess cushioning in footwear (I trail run), but these are sufficiently stable, have not been a problem for knee issues, and allow comfort and activity around the house pre- and post-workout. I purchased a 2nd pair; this review is based on the first pair purchased ~10 months ago. Read more

Love these! 5 stars for comfort, but 4 stores because they are not attractive. Gosh my feet are happy. Excellent arch support, soft, relieves my metatarsal pain, like walking on a soft cushion of air. Just wish they came in some pretty colors. Read more

I love that these sandals are adjustable, to give me extra room for comfort when my big toe arthritis flares. Sandals are well cushioned and comfortble. Read more

Great comfort and light shoes to wear around house instead of bare feet. However, had to order 1/2 size bigger since Amazon didn’t carry 1/2 size in the size I needed per the chart. Read more
