I have been an oofos fan for years. I have many pairs. The sizing is not consistent. I've had size 8's too big, size 7's too small, and size 7 Oolala's that fit fine. Hard to order when sizing is inconsistent over the years.

After a few weeks they started to peel! They look awful and I can just wear them around the house now. I’ve had them since May.

After less than a month of wear, the white, which seems to be a plastic color coating, is already cracking. Very disappointing. Otherwise very satisfied with the shoe. Guess I would only recommend the black so you don't have to worry about the color coming off so soon after purchase.

Ofoos were recommended to me by 2 Physical Therapists for comfort and treat of my severe Plantar Faciitis. These are the only shoes I can wear comfortably. I wear them at all times except when in bed. Yes even in the shower. I use toe socks with them when the weather is colder.I am so grateful for these shoes and no longer have to take pain medication due to them. Since the gym requires closed toe shoes my PTIST wrote a letter saying I need these, not tennis shoes for walking on the treadmill etc.So far I have 7 pairs and am purchasing one more in the new variegated color top with black sole.So glad to see them on Zappos finally.

This is the most comfortable sandal I have ever owned. I actually use it as a house shoe because I have tile throughout my house. Love it!
I am over 75 years old.

I am astounded that these shoes got so many positive reviews. True, no one indicated they had purchased the orange pair and that color, unnerving day-glo orange, is probably the single most objectionable thing about them. They looked and smelled like something had gone terribly wrong in a lab somewhere in China and the scientist said, hey, maybe we can squirt this stuff in a mold and make a pair of shoes! The smell was so toxic I could smell it before I opened the shipping box. They are squishy like Croqs but feel cheaper. The surface of the soles was tacky and stuck to my feet. The toe strap is deep and uncomfortable. The Oolala isn't offered in half sizes so instead of 8.5 I ordered 9. They cradled my heels without room to spare but jutted out an inch or more beyond my toes. Many reviewers claimed the unusual style was great for their plantar fasciitis. I don't suffer that condition but I do like to alternate my regular shoes with negative heel shoes for overall foot health so I am not unfamiliar with the feel of negative heels, which is what this style feels like, and it was still odd and uncomfortable, like spongy little rocking horses on my feet. If you have plantar fasciitis these shoes might be worth a shot but only for around the house, they are not appropriate for street wear. If you would like to announce to the world that your feet are radioactive, the orange Oolala are the shoes for you. Also unhappy with change in Zappos shipping. I always got free overnight shipping which is one of the big reasons to shop Zappos. This time I placed the order at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday morning and the shipping confirmation said they would be delivered on Monday. They actually arrived on Friday afternoon but my feeling is, I can expect the same crappy service now from Zappos that I always got from Amazon so Zappos, we might be done here.

This is my 8th pair of Oofos! I have both clogs and flip flops. I'm a Kindergarten teacher, on my feet all day, and these are the only shoes that save my feet from the excruciating pain of plantar fasciitis. I can no longer go barefoot, so these are my house shoes along with my every day shoes. I can't say enough good things about the comfort.
On a side note, I have purchased two two-tone pairs that have begun to peel (the secondary color) after a few months. I hope they can figure out how to keep this from happening in the future.

This was my 4th pair of Ooofos. I love them so much. It's not always possible to walk for long distances in proper sneakers. Oofos are the perfect shoes to wear when walking long distances, especially in hot climates. I have knee problems, but I'm able to comfortably walk up to 6 miles in my Oofos. They have great arch support, plenty of cushioning and the piece between the toe is smooth and comfortable. They're very lightweight, so your feet don't get tired. If I'm not in my sneakers, these are my favorite comfortable footwear.

For fit, I normally wear an 9.5, so went with a 10. At first they seemed like they'd be too small, but after wearing around the house for 2 days they ended up being perfect.
These are the most comfortable shoes I own and I wear them everywhere. They've held up through months of camping and hiking through rocks, sand, and water. Already ordered another pair.

The thong broke after wearing them for 2 months! I’m really sorry because I thought I’d have these shoes a lot longer with as much as I paid.

Loves these flip flops, however the latte color and the strap breaks down.
This happened fairly soon. These are much too expensive for this to happen.

I have several pairs of Vionic Flip Flops and although very comfortable, none of them are as comfortable as OOFOS OOlala Sandal. I absolutely love these. They are like walking on memory foam with some arch support too.

I bought these after trying on a friend's Oofos. Normally, I don't like things between my toes. But these don't bother me at all. I'm surprised that the arch support is excellent - it normally is not with flip flops. But these aren't normal flip flops. They are very cushy! So, I heartily recommend them! They're great to wear on the grass and on hard surfaces.

Did OOFOS change their sizing? I have a black pair of the Oolala style thong sandal, in women's size 6, so that's what I ordered again last week when I bought another pair. But the new size sixes are a full size smaller than the ones I currently own. I am including a picture.

These are true to size and the most comfortable pair of flip flops! I have plantar fasciitis and had to research which flip flops would be best. These OOfos are great but only about 2 months old and have started to peel which is disappointing. For $60 I would have not expected that to happen. I did read other reviews that stated it too. I should have read all reviews first. I would buy the plain black if I were to buy these again. I tried vionic too but the fit was not good the toe strap was too big.

These are terrific! I also think they outperform the Fit Flop, and they are much less expensive. The support is pretty good, and the cushioning is excellent. They're a very cute sandal, and I will enjoy wearing them all summer!

These sandals are superior in comfort. Way better than Fit Flops. Price seems high for a flip flop, but you won't regret the purchase.

I'm a size 6.5 - 7 so I tried one size 6 and one size 7. Although the 6 fit snug from toe to heel, they seemed to not be positioned where the arch support should be. I kept the size 7, even though those appear long in the toe area and I do not have short toes ;-)
That aside... these were a life saver for my planter fasciitis! My 2nd bout of planter fasciitis came on just 1 week before a vacation. Being familiar with this disease I wore my ankle/arch supports 24/7 but was not getting any real relief. When my order came for the OOFOS flip flops, I put them on and couldn't bear to take them off. I didn't bother to pack my supports, with these sandals they weren't necessary. Really, they offered me instant relief!
- The arch support took the weight off my burning heels.
- The top of the sandal was comfortable, flexible and soft.
- The black/latte color was discrete, almost a nude skin tone top. I was able to wear them with both casual and dressier clothing.
- They wash well and look like new thru lots of wear!
Would have given 5 stars but the design could use some improvement:
- The strap on top is cut very flattering but the colors are spray painted on, not in a very good way.
- The size 7 fits everywhere as they should but then the room at the toe should be reduced.
- They need to offer a dressy color sole like metallic gold or silver.
Overall very glad I got these in time! I was surprised that after wearing these exclusively during my week vacation, my condition seemed to go away. Wore regular tennis shoes after I returned and my pain re-appeared. Now I know to wear these for at least a week after my pain goes before wearing my the regular shoes again. Highly recommend these to everyone.

I normally wear a 7.5, so I purchased both tge 7 and 8 so i could compare. 7 was a tad too small although i could have gotten away with it. The 8 has a tiny bit of extra room but i love that my toes don’t hang off the front edge like they normally do with flip flops. I bought these to wear as a ‘walking’ sandal when i go for a brisk 45-60 min walk and after trying two other pairs (tevas, which were too bulky, and under armour too fat and cushiony on top), these fit the bill perfectly. Instead of being convex like the under armours were, they are actually concave so they kind of cradle your foot. Loving them so far! I purchased the metallic light blue.

Loved them, so soft and comfortable. It took a few days for my foot to get used to the shape of the arch. I little unstable on slopes or when wet because they are so soft, but great for everything else. Broke at the toe post after 5 months. Also the shiny black finish starts to crack and wear off pretty quickly. For the price I would have hoped for them to hold up longer.

I just LOVED my first pair of these sandals! They were the only relief from plantar faciitis and knee pain, and I wore them daily for several hours for an entire year. Last month I started tripping over the toes and noticed they were too long for my feet. Weird! I wear an 8.5 in street shoes, these were an 8 and had fit perfectly. I finally realized the sole had compressed and grown from use and ordered another pair -- absolutely worth it after a heavy year of use. I started wearing the new pair, and the problem started after only a few weeks; obviously they've changed the sole to a softer, less durable material, so I returned them. I certainly don't mind repurchasing them each year, but not every few months! Emailed OOFOS asking about the problem, but no answer. Still searching for a comfortable, supportive replacement. Not happy. :(

These are the perfect flip flops! The foam padding is so supremely plush, I rather wear these then go bare foot. I immediately bought a 2nd pair because there's nothing like these. Amazing and size down. I'm a 10 and the 9 fit perfectly.
