OOFOS Footwear for Back to School

The struggle is real ya'll... and I'm not just talking about getting my classroom set up for the new school year struggle. I'm talking about clothes and shoes shopping to replace a few items in my closet from last school year struggle (like those black pants that are now a nice shade of gray).

While the black-now-gray pants thing is a quick fix, shoes shopping is not. Well it wasn't. Enter OOFOS Footwear and prepare to have your life changed forever.

Let me tell you before anything else that I have lower back problems. I injured my back on a field trip 4 years ago, I've gone through physical therapy for it twice, and every once in awhile I get debilitating pain through my lower back and left leg. So when I buy shoes for every day wear, I have to take that into consideration.

When my OOFOS sandals and luxe clogs arrived, I was experiencing a mixture of excitement and nervousness. I was excited because deep down I knew these were going to be a game changer for me, but nervous because the last thing I want is to be locked down on a couch in serious pain.
You should know that OOFOS footbed is designed with tremendous arch support to take the pressure off of ankles, knees and hips, as well as your lower back. And the OOfoam absorbs more shock than the traditional foam, which helps to provide your feet and joints with relief and a chance to recover.

So less than a minute later, after putting on the sandals, all of the nervousness subsided. I started walking around my house in them and noticed an immediate difference between the shoes I was wearing and the OOFOS sandals.
I switched between the clogs and the sandals daily while working in my classroom. In those 2 weeks, I climbed ladders, I stood on desks (shh... don't tell!), I squatted, and I walked endless miles of hallway.

And at the end of every day, neither my feet nor my back hurt. At all. Just ask my husband, because on any typical school evening, he is massaging my feet or back because I'm in pain. He deserves an award... and so does OOFOS.
The flip flops are my absolute favorite!

If you aren't quite sold yet on giving OOFOS a try, OOFOS is letting me give away 3 pairs of winner's choice sandals or clogs!

    ReplyDelete
  21. New to your blog. I teach a Life Skills class in IN. I was just thinking I need to change shoes throughout the day. Ps I have 16 kiddos this year. ��

  22. The flip flops! I try to wear sandals for as long as I can... until the snow comes. These would be great to leave at school!

  23. I bought my first pair of OOFOS in late June when we did our annual trip to Saint Augustine. They were so comfortable right out of the store which means a lot since we did a lot of walking. I am a huge FitFlop fan, but find these just as comfortable. I didn't realize there were clogs, too, so I'll have to see if I want to add a pair when it's not longer sandal time.

    ReplyDelete

  60. Hi! I found you through Oofos and appreciated your review of them. I would want to try the Oocloog in mocha. I have been looking for comfortable brown shoes for a long time (or maybe the black since I wear lots of black pants to work...or gray sincr my gray shoes are falling apart...ahhh) But as an injured (recovering) runner who works in a college part time and has 2 kids, one ASD, having comfy shoes are a must!

    ReplyDelete
  61. I really like the OOcloog Deluxe Clog in Black. I have plantar fasciitis and sciatica in my right leg.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I love these as a recovery sandal after I go for a run. They are amazing on my feet after hitting the pavement.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I would love the Rio slides!! Love them!!!

    ReplyDelete
  64. I loved my oofos. I wore them all the time. I wore them for years before they wore out. I would probably get an all black pair if I won.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I would love the sandals!

    ReplyDelete
  66. Original sandal in aqua! Had surgery on both feet this year and these would be amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Last night I was telling hubby that I wish Oofos made tennis shoes, hiking boots, heels..... on and on - I was a little crazed with comfort smile emoticon:-) Fortunately HH is used to this behavior from me. We continue to amuse and tolerate eachother as we age together.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I think I'd choose a black OOriginal or OOlala. I love sandals but as a runner, I'm picky about not wearing cheap ones that don't provide support.

    ReplyDelete
  69. The oolala sandals look awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  70. I think they both look amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I live in my Oofos and can't wear anything else. Winter will be here soon and they don't make winter boots! Any suggestions for SOFT cushioned boots?
