Oofos
Recovery Footwear Built to Absorb Impact
What do you put on your feet when your workout is over and you want a break from your regular shoes? Oofos was created specifically for that moment. The brand's recovery footwear combines proprietary OOfoam™ technology with a patented footbed designed to absorb impact, cradle the arches, and help reduce stress on the body. Oofos says its OOfoam™ absorbs 37% more impact than traditional footwear foams, while its footbed geometry is designed to distribute pressure and support a more natural motion.
That recovery-focused design is now available in sandals, slides, clogs, and other footwear made for the time after training, after a long shift, while traveling, or simply when your feet need a different kind of shoe.
The Footwear That Started the Recovery Category
Oofos was founded around a simple idea: recovery deserved its own footwear. When the brand launched, recovery footwear wasn't an established category. Oofos set out to create footwear specifically for what happens after activity rather than simply adapting a traditional athletic shoe for the job.
The foundation of that approach is OOfoam™ technology and Oofos' patented footbed design. The foam is engineered to absorb impact, while the footbed geometry is designed to cradle the foot and support the arches. Together, those elements are what give Oofos its distinctive soft-but-supported feel.
The brand began with recovery sandals and slides and has since expanded its recovery footwear collection into additional silhouettes, while keeping the same recovery-first philosophy at the center.
Why shop Oofos from Abbadabba's?
- Made Specifically for Recovery: Oofos wasn't created as a regular athletic shoe with “recovery” added to the marketing. Recovery is the reason the brand exists.
- OOfoam™ Cushioning: Oofos uses its proprietary OOfoam™ technology to absorb impact. The brand states that it absorbs 37% more impact than traditional footwear foams.
- Support Beneath the Foot: The patented footbed design is shaped to cradle the foot and support the arches while distributing pressure.
- More Than an After-Workout Shoe: Oofos can also make sense for travel, long days on your feet, around-the-house wear, and everyday situations when you want a softer, recovery-oriented option.
- Try the “OO” in Atlanta: Visit Abbadabba's in Buckhead, East Cobb, or Little Five Points and compare available Oofos styles on your own feet. Selection, styles, and sizes may vary by location.
The Technology Behind the “OO”
1. Impact Absorption. OOfoam™ technology absorbs more impact than traditional footwear foams, helping reduce the force placed on your feet with every step.
2. Reduced Stress. Designed to reduce stress on the feet, knees, and back, helping you feel more comfortable as you move throughout the day.
3. Natural Movement. The footwear design works with your natural stride, encouraging comfortable movement during everyday activities.
4. Arch Support. A contoured footbed cradles the arches, providing supportive cushioning that helps distribute pressure across the foot.
The Oofos Difference
Most shoes are designed around what you're doing. Oofos was designed around what happens after.
Instead of focusing on performance during a workout, Oofos focuses on giving your feet a different experience once the activity is over. Its combination of impact-absorbing OOfoam™ and a supportive, foot-cradling footbed creates the foundation of its recovery footwear.
That's what makes Oofos different: recovery isn't an extra feature. It's the entire reason the footwear exists.

You Want an Easy Slip-On
Oofos' recovery collection includes sandals, slides, and clogs, giving you options that don't require the same effort as a traditional lace-up shoe.
Fit & Comfort Tips
Let Your Heel Sit Naturally
Your heel should settle comfortably into the cupped portion of the footbed without excessive movement.
Pay Attention to Your Arches
The Oofos footbed has a noticeable shape. When trying them on, notice how the arch support feels under your foot.
Give Your Toes Room
Your toes should have enough space to move without hanging over the front or pressing against the sides.
Check the Overall Length
Your foot should sit comfortably within the footbed without your heel or toes extending beyond it.
Walk Around
The feel of OOfoam™ becomes much easier to understand once you're actually moving. Walk around the store and notice the cushioning under each step.
Try Both Feet
As always, try both shoes. Your feet can differ slightly in length, width, and arch shape.
