Maybe that's what the OOF stands for

VVfer, ugh I hate it when sandals cause the foot to fart! Or at least allegedly that's where the fart originates...

I dunno I'm not so sure that recovery shoes are "necessary" or backed by any real evidence that they do anything, but if they feel good and people like them, go for it!

I was looking into the Oofas closed toe shoes, since my crazy toed feet aren't made for regular sandals anymore. Has anyone tried them? Thoughts?

Oh, dear! Farting shoes are the worst! Does the comfort factor overcome the fart factor?

I just try to wear socks with them. They are comfortable for around the house. I don't know if I would wear them outside.

OMG!!! I'm going to start blaming my shoes now.
I'm interested in these since it's recommended by a podiatrist association.
I got some slip on Merrills when the store closed locally and I love how they feel. My podiatrist said she liked them too.

Just took a look at my zappos orders, and realized that when I got my Oofos shoes, I first tried an 8, but returned them for a 7. I normally wear a 6.5, but I guess I thought I'd need a larger shoe for these?? Not sure of my logic.

I do like the size that I kept, they're comfy shoes to wear at the end of the day when my feet are just tired. Took them on a trip, and they were the perfect end of day-but can't do without shoes option.

The first of theirs I tried are the clogs, as a replacement for Crocs.

I like Oofos a lot better.

I am going to return the Oofos. While they are comfortable, I've noticed that my knees hurt after wearing them. Maybe as they throw more weight to the front of the foot? I dunno.

Now I'll have nothing to blame any alleged farts on.

Blame the cats. That's what DH does. They are very gassy cats.
