Active recovery footwear company OOFOS has launched its latest innovation in recovery footwear – the OOmy Stride. This new product delivers the technology found in all OOFOS styles while furthering benefits for users with an update on the best fit, feel and ride from heel-strike to toe-off.
The OOmy Stride has several design and structural updates. The new extended and rounded heel provides a better biomechanical absorption area when taking longer strides, and an integrated support cradle that raises up just outside the footbed helps keep the foot centred over the platform when walking.
The new outsole provides deeper flex grooves for increased traction and lug longevity. Overall, the new platform surrounds the foot in OOfoam, as opposed to the foot resting on top of it. The OOmy Stride fills a space in the OOFOS product line for those with an active lifestyle looking to combine their active recovery with an updated, flexible design and contemporary style.
All OOFOS active recovery footwear features proprietary OOfoam, the brand’s technology, which absorbs impact. The OOmy Stride is constructed on this same foundation of OOfoam and the brand’s patented footbed design found in other OOFOS models – from the OOriginal Slide to the OOmg Sport – with enhancements to improve impact absorption, traction, and longevity.
Additionally, the new style features a breathable four-way stretch mesh forefoot, which allows the user to vent moisture and heat and most importantly, allows the foot to splay and move naturally for recovery. The lightweight material on the quarter panels hugs the rear portion of the foot to provide more support when striding, and the stretch engineered knit featured on the tongue and collar area gives a snug fit around the instep that gently holds your foot in place. The heel counter features a pillowed collar to help protect the Achilles when making long strides, and an antimicrobial footbed lining helps the fabric stay fresher longer.
The combination of OOfoam technology and the patented footbed design are the foundation of every pair of OOFOS, proven to absorb 37% more impact than traditional foam and reduce up to 47% of energy exertion on the ankles.
The combination of technology reduces load rates by up to 88%, decreases compressive stresses and helps enhance mobility and gait patterns to enable faster recovery. The OOmy Stride launches in both men’s and women’s styles with an MSRP of $159.95.
