OOFOS Sandals for Men

OOFOS makes the world’s best sandals (flip-flops). I found this brand via GORUCK – they had a very time-limited OOFOS sandal branded with the GORUCK spearhead – but they are all sold out – nd have been for quite some time. But that’s OK because you can get OOFOS Sandals from Road Runner Sports.
