OOFOS Footwear: All about the OO

My sister and I have a goal of running 14 5ks in 2014. As of the end of May, we’d already reached the number 8. I still can’t believe we’re doing so well with our goal, and we have plenty of time to meet the number 14.

But with this goal comes the need to train. I am running three times a week to be sure that my feet and legs (and lungs and brain) are prepared for each race we enter. This means that my feet and legs (and back and neck) often hurt at the end of a running day.

I usually wear an old pair of sandals that I’ve had for almost fifteen years. Kudos to the sandals for holding out this long, but they aren’t the most therapeutic for my feet. That’s why I was super pumped and very thankful to get to try out OOFOS sandals.

First, I was really excited about the color. Most of my shoes are a boring brown or black, but I’m not very good at stepping out of this comfort zone. I know I need to add some pizazz to my wardrobe, and these sandals were a perfect addition.

I made sure to have Miss Sassy Pants video my first attempt at trying the sandals on. Be sure to watch here:

OOFOS sandals are way more than flip flops. These sandals feel like I’m wearing a very comfortable tennis shoe. There is amazing support in my arch and heels. Other awesome facts about OOFOS:

• 37% more shock absorption than any other foam material currently being used in the footwear market.

• Each step with OOFOAM disperses your body’s impact to the side of the shoe rather than coming up back through your body.

• Allows the body to recover after athletic activity. Endurance athletes in particular benefit from the well-designed massaging footbed.

• Countless testimonials on our social media from people who have found relieve from plantar fasciitis and other foot pain thanks to wearing OOFOS.

I have been wearing my OOFOS sandals on days after a long run. They make my feet feel much better than the old sandals I was wearing.

Where did OOFOS get it’s name?

Every time we tested our product during the development stage, our testers would smile and say “OOOHHH”. This is where the name came from and our tag line was created – Feel The OO! The OOFOS brand launched at the end of 2011 in the US marketplace.

You can get your own OOFOS. Be sure to use the code for free shipping: CREWnorth

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
