Reviews

Well…

"These shoes have a higher profile than the previous slip-ons. They seem to be high around my ankles which I found a little uncomfortable. The cushion feel is great. I think this model does not ventilate as well as the previous version, my feet get warm and sweaty after a while. I had several colors of a previous model slip-on that were great, until some of the interior cloth parts came undone. They seemed to have a more natural step and they were cooler for my feet."

Nurse recommended

"BEST SHOES FOR NURSES! I borrowed some sandals last summer and was impressed with the comfort. This nurses week thr brand popped up and I remembered being impressed so I bought 1 pair. That 1 pair replaced the more than 30 tennis shoes I keep in rotation hoping for comfort through my 12-16 hour shifts. I rushed to buy 3 more pairs and cannot imagine a shift without these. My feet aren't burning, and my legs and back hurt far less. Will be adding more colors"

OOmy Zen Men's Shoe

"The Zen is very comfortable and fit very well. I have been wearing it for out and about activities and it looks good with pants or shorts. I was looking for a Sketchers style slip in shoe and this is not it. You have to put one or both hands to work to pull the shoe on."

Eric V. (4/5)

Very comfortable. They are NOT

"Very comfortable. They are NOT close to being slip-ons however. Once on, I like them a lot, but they do not serve the purpose of leaning over, putting my shoes on, etc. I have at least 12 pairs of your various shoes. I love them. Make the back more stable, firmer so they actually slip on."

Answered Prayers!

"My mom has had multiple foot and knee surgeries in the past few years, and always feels off balance. When she tried on these shoes for the first time in years, she felt balanced. She instantly started crying and praising God; she thought it was a goal that may no longer be attainable. It was her birthday gift, and she immediately bought another one for herself and my stepdad. Oh, how we thank you!"

Awesome and Comfortable Shoes

"I purchased OOmy Zen to knock around in this summer post run or long walk. Liked them so much when they arrived, I went back and bought the same shoe in Navy Blue. The shoes are light weight and very comfortable, I plan to take them to Europe in the Fall. Had a couple friends ask me about them and both went online to purchase them."

1st pair of Zen Oofos

"This my 1st pair of Zen Oofos. The foot opening for me is too small, I had a really hard time getting them on. Also, the opening was too tight on the top of my foot. I’m going to stick with the Stride style. I love them! I’m on my third pair."

Jimmy T. (3/5)

Very Disappointed in purchase and return policy

"I cannot fully express how disappointed I am with my recent purchase. Having ordered multiple pairs from OOFOS in the past, I knew my size was 11. 5 and was excited to find this and another shoe at a final sale price. I quickly placed my order, but upon arrival, both pairs were too large. When I contacted customer service to request a smaller size, I was told I couldn't because the items were final sale. I explained that I ordered my usual size, which was too big, but was harshly denied any return or refund. This experience has been incredibly frustrating, especially given the poor customer service. My feet haven't changed, and the inconsistent sizing is not my fault. Ultimately, I was forced to donate two brand-new pairs of shoes to charity, which is unacceptable. I strongly urge OOFOS to address their sizing issues and improve their customer support to prevent others from experiencing this level of dissatisfaction."

I really love my new

"I really love my new Ooofos. So far they are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn. Great to ease my Plantar Fasciitis pain. I plan to order another color soon. My Podiatrist recommended that I try Oofos and I am telling all of my friends and family about them. I wish that the Zen were available in a brown or tan color. I am extremely satisfied. Thanks"

Mark G. (5/5)

Swollen Ankle

"Unfortunately, the design of the shoes does not provide sufficient room for my swollen ankle. Consequently, my whole foot feels sore after wearing the shoes for only a few hours. I love all my previously purchased Oofos, however, the design of this shoe does not work for me."
