I recently purchased the Oofos Oolala Sandal, and I have to say, it’s been a game-changer for my post-surgery feet. These sandals are made from OOfoam™, a unique material that absorbs significantly more impact than traditional foams used in footwear. I like to think of the firm cushioning standing in for my compromised joints and bones.
The Oofos Oolala Sandal provides exceptional arch support, which has been instrumental in taking the pressure off my sensitive forefoot (I recently had a cheilectomy and fifth metatarsal osteotomy). There’s a mild rocker sole also, which guides the foot through the stride while alleviating pressure on heel and toes.
I typically don’t like the feel of a toe post, but after a few days, it didn’t bother me at all. I understand podiatrists say to steer clear of flip flops, but Oofos sandals are anything but flimsy.
I find the fit is true. The Oofos Oolala sandal is available in whole sizes 5-11 for $69.95 from Oofos.com, Zappos, and Amazon. (FYI, the color in the video is called “Stardust”).
