Feelin' the "oo" with #OOmg Recovery Shoes

"Disclaimer: I received a pair of Oofos OOmg recovery shoes to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review find and write race reviews!"

A few months ago, I ordered the OOfos  oolala sandals and have been loving the support and cushion that I get from them.  When I got the opportunity to try the closed toe OOmg shoes, I jumped on it.

OOfos has it’s own “OOfoam technology”. It provides approximately 37% more cushion than traditional footwear.  The OOFos OOmg low shoe is designed to  enhance the recovery process., but to also be something you can wear all day, every day to take the stress off your tired soles, joints and give your feet the freedom of natural movement.

Since I have osteoarthritis in my knees, I look for the most cushiony shoes I can find. I wanted recovery shoes that provided the same type of support and also offers rejuvenation.  The OOmg shoes have about the same amount of cushion as my  running shoes,  which is pretty darn incredible!
I love that these are a slip on shoe, they are super convenient to grab and go, whether it is to walk the dog or get the mail.

I gave these a try after an 8 mile training run.  The cushion was incredible. I wore them running errands. I think they are casual and sporty at the same time.

Features:

• The 4-way stretch mesh upper allows a lot more give, so it helps the foot to move naturally post-run.
• The OOmg are designed to be a lifestyle shoe that you can wear at all times, not just post-race.
• Unlike flip-flops, the OOFOS patented footbed is designed with tremendous arch support to take the pressure off of ankles, knees and hips, as well as your lower back.
• Close cell foam, which means that you can get them wet and water just drips off, no water stays in the shoe, no bacteria. Shower ready!
• Machine washable - mesh won't bleed and you can also spot wipe. Wash on a cold wash, avoid bleach and fabric softener.
• Soft, conforming toe post eliminates chafing
• Durable OOfoam holds its cushion its entire life
  

Look at all this cushion -
My feet have plenty of room to move, and I wore them both barefoot and with socks. Comfy both ways.  I think that this will be very handy at my next Ragnar in Michigan. It’s maybe a little too chilly for flip flops in between running my legs, but these closed toed shoes are a perfect recovery tool!

The OOfos OOmg is currently only available in women’s sizes, and comes in 3 colors - black, gray and citron.The men’s version is coming out sometime in 2018.  The retail price is $120.00, which is about the same investment as a good pair of running shoes. The bottom of the shoes will wear out before the foam. Treat yourself to a pair for summer!

The BibRave Pros had a little fun trying out the OOmg, we definitely recommend these shoes!
