Oofos Men's Footwear

Frequently Asked Questions

• How should I size OOFOS men's recovery footwear for the best fit?

  OOFOS uses a slightly firm-yet-plush OOfoam™ that doesn't stretch, so many people size up if the toe box feels tight; most styles use a unisex medium-width footbed while thongs like the OOyee/OOyea come in a narrower (B) width. Choose lace or adjustable options such as the Sport LS for a locked-in fit, and when possible try your normal casual shoe size or consult the brand size chart for specific models.
• How do the OOahh, OOahh PLUS, and OOmega slides compare?

  The OOahh is the foundational slide designed for everyday recovery, while the OOahh PLUS adds about 6mm more OOfoam™, a wider strap, and an elevated arch and heel cup for increased impact absorption and stability. The OOmega steps up cushioning further with a MEGA midsole (extra OOfoam™ thickness) for maximum plushness and rocker-like feel, making it the most cushioned option of the three.
• Which OOFOS styles are best for post-run recovery versus all-day walking or travel?

  For immediate post-run recovery and cooldown, slides and thongs like the OOahh, OOriginal, and OOyee provide easy on/off, open ventilation, and the targeted OOfoam™ cushioning people look for after workouts. For all-day walking, travel, or situations that need toe protection and a more secure fit, choose closed options like the Sport/Sport LS, OOmy Stride, or OOcloog—Sport LS adds lacing for midfoot lock and breathable mesh for longer wear. The Londoner insulated boot or Mule/Low with sherpa are better for cold-weather recovery and casual outings.
• How does OOfoam™ and the patented footbed geometry reduce joint stress?

  OOfoam™ absorbs about 37% more impact than traditional EVA foams and disperses energy laterally, which lowers peak forces transmitted to ankles, knees, and hips. Combined with OOFOS’ patented footbed—high arch support, cupped heel, and rounded heel-to-toe geometry—the design cradles the foot and promotes a smoother, more natural gait that reduces joint strain.
• Are OOFOS machine-washable and how should I care for them?

  Most OOFOS styles are machine-washable—use a gentle, cold-water cycle and let them air dry away from direct heat or sunlight to preserve OOfoam™ integrity and uppers. Avoid harsh chemicals or high-heat drying; OOfoam™ is water- and bacteria-resistant and retains cushioning, but regular air-drying and occasional cleaning will keep the footbed and uppers performing.
