Details + technologies
Brand technologies, in plain English
OOFOSOOfoam
A proprietary foam that soaks up impact as you walk or stand, easing load on your feet, joints and legs.
OOFOS states OOfoam absorbs "37% more impact than traditional footwear foams (like the EVA foam found in your running shoes)," so "energy gets displaced to the side instead of going back up into your body." Benefit: softer landings and less leg fatigue on tired feet. Trade-off: this is recovery footwear for after activity, not a running or sports shoe.
OOFOSPatented Footbed
A patented, contoured footbed that cradles your arch and spreads pressure across the whole foot.
OOFOS builds in a "patented footbed that cradles and supports arches," using "carefully crafted geometry and dynamic foam properties [to] more evenly distribute pressure." Benefit: arch support and even weight distribution that reduces foot fatigue when you're on your feet.
OOFOSBuilt for Recovery
Designed to ease stress on feet, knees and ankles so tired legs recover after time on your feet.
OOFOS says the footbed paired with OOfoam "reduces energy exertion in the ankles by up to 47%" (citing a 2018 University of Virginia Speed Clinic study) and reduces "stress on knees, ankles and other joints." Benefit: a genuine recovery tool for after long runs or long days on your feet. Note: these are OOFOS's own "up to" figures. Helpful positioning, not a medical claim.
OOFOSClosed-Cell Foam
The foam won't soak up water or bacteria, so it stays hygienic and low-odour, good wet or barefoot.
OOFOS states "OOfoam™ is a closed cell foam, so it doesn't hold in any moisture or bacteria and minimizes odour." Benefit: sweat- and water-resistant, wipes clean, and comfortable worn barefoot or poolside.
OOFOSMachine Washable
Wash them in the machine on cold and gentle, then air dry. No dryer, hot water or direct sun.
OOFOS says "All OOFOS can be washed in cold water with mild soap" on "the most delicate setting," then "air dry them away from direct sunlight or direct heat." Benefit: easy to keep fresh. Trade-off: heat shrinks the foam, so keep them out of the dryer and hot sun.
