Oofos has just launched their limited edition London Sport edition of their Sport Slide Sandal and UltraRunner Magazine were on hand to give them a try out.
Their sport recovery shoes are made from Oofoam technology – thick foam designed for maximum support and comfort. They will absorb any impact on your feet so they can recover properly from long (or short) runs. Many ultra runners don’t always take the best care of their feet following their training or after races except to put their feet up, so we were delighted to see that the Oofos Sport Slides felt great on our feet afterwards.
“OOfoam™ technology absorbs 37% more impact than traditional footwear.”
Not only do they help to reduce stress on knees, ankles and other joints, the patented footbed technology cradles and supports the arch of your foot to reduce exertion on the ankle – hence why our muscles and joints felt better while wearing them. With their very thick sole, walking around in them around the house felt like bouncing around on cushions, they were that springy.
They actually felt nurturing to our feet. Despite being tired the sliders helped to give that extra vitality and lift to our joints. The team liked how the Oofos Sport London Sliders were open, and therefore really breathable – giving our feet a chance to breathe which was refreshing after being in hot trainers.
“Closed-cell foam is machine washable and designed to minimise odour.”
Overall, we really enjoyed wearing them after our runs. They elevated our feet and joints in a bouncy, forward moving motion and offering muscle stretch and movement in a really easy ‘throw-them-on-and-go’ way. Ideal for about the house following a run or pop them in the Oofos carry bag and use them after an ultramarathon.
