Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It KILLS me to write this, because I have been singing OOFOS' praises for years. I swear I have encouraged at least 25 people to buy their flip flops. I have had these shoes for 3 months - I bought them because I am obsessed with their flip flops/sandals as they have basically cured my horrible plantar fasciitis. I wanted to be able to do a bit more walking, and the flip flops (while great) aren't awesome for long walks. I saved up for a while to be able to justify these because, let's be honest - it hurts to spend $60 on the (clearly injectable-foam-molded) flip flops, let alone double the price on pretty ugly shoes. But I did it. I have worn these maybe 5 times total, only used them to walk on paved easy trails, maybe clocking a total of under 10 miles over the course of a few hikes. As you can see, they look terrible. The soles are pitted and already disintegrating. The edges of the foam are showing permanent compression lines. They feel like they have no support already. The design of the shoe is also confusing - the band across the top is in a strange place and offers no support and no real aesthetic value. The back green tabs have given me heel blisters (solved by wearing higher socks), and they are both too wide and too narrow in the tip! It's like they were designed by someone who has never worn shoes before. Honestly, if these were $35, I wouldn't be complaining. It would be a case of "you get what you pay for" and we'd all move on with our lives. But for $120, I expected to be wow'd and never want to take them off. But even THEN, I could overlook how hideous they are and the price even, IF they actually felt like they were well-made durable shoes. But they do not. If you want a great pair of walking shoes, and you're about to spend this kind of money on them, skip OOFOS and get Oboz.
