Disclaimer: I was
recently sent a pair of OOFOS OOcloog Project Pink Clogs to review as part of
being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about

“Feel the OO”
So you may remember I had the chance to “feel the OO” for
the first time last summer when I tested and reviewed the OOriginal Sport Sandals. Another opportunity as a
BibRave Pro came to test a shoe from the Project Pink line. I was originally going to pass this one up
but then I found out… OOFOS makes clogs!
Why was I so excited about the clogs? Because I can wear them to work!
OOFOS is a recovery footwear brand made for an active
lifestyle. Although I spend a good
amount of time sitting at my desk, I am on my feet most of the work day running
around in between teaching classes, training clients, working with therapy
patients and covering the gym/pool. In
all my years at Cape Cod Rehab and Mashpee Fitness, I have always just worn
sneakers to work. I mean I LOVE my
sneakers—I own Nike Lunarglides in every color of the rainbow to match all my
work outfits—but it was nice to switch it up and wear a black clog that not
only went with everything but also felt extremely comfortable and looked a
little nicer and dressier than my everyday work shoe.
Some of the OOFOS clog features:
·
OOfoam absorbs 37% more shock than other
materials
·
Reduces stress on sore feet, knees and lower
back
·
Cradles your arches
·
Biomechanically designed footbed allows natural
motion
·
Moisture resistant; doesn’t retain smell
·
Durable OOfoam holds its cushion
·
Machine washable
·
So light they float
So what’s the deal
with Project Pink?
“This extends beyond
footwear to a cause that strikes way too close to home: the fight against
breast cancer.
Duncan Finigan is a
long time member of the OOFOS family and was diagnosed with advanced breast
cancer in October 2014. After Duncan’s
diagnosis, it was an easy decision for us to choose breast cancer research as
the cause that OOFOS would stand behind.
With every pair of the
Pink collection that we sell, OOFOS will donate 100% of the proceeds to
Dana-Farber breast cancer research. As
one of the world’s leading cancer care centers, the Dana-Farber team works
tirelessly to find a cure to help the millions around the world that are
affected.”

When do I wear my
clogs?
Like I already said… I wear them to work! I throw them on after my run and to go outside with the pup. I’ve been wearing them to run errands after
work, to go to the grocery store and when I’m out and about on weekends.
Other bonuses:
·
The arch support is unreal. I have a high arch and I love that I can feel
it.
·
From afar you may think the clogs look thick and
heavy however they are super lightweight and non-bulky.
·
While I only wore the clogs with socks, you
could wear them without. They are made
of the same material as the sandals and don’t retain smell.
·
The clog comes in a shiny or matte finish. I opted for the matte finish.
·
No pedicure was needed to review this style of
OOFOS!
Cons:
·
If the clog style isn’t for you, the Project
Pink line also features a few different varieties of sandals.
·
Clogs don’t quite go with leggings, tights,
capris or shorts—but who cares! I make
it work.
Happy running!
P.S. Georgie totally gives OOFOS “2 paws up!”
