GORUCK OOFOS OOriginal Sandal Review

June 28, 2021 clothesadmin Comments Off

I recently bought the new OOFOS OOriginal Sandal from GORUCK. The OOriginal OOfos Sandal is ideal to slip on after an intense workout, 50 milers, or GORUCK Challenge as it provides comfort and recovery. It alleviates stress on the knees, ankles, and other joints and has the best arch support on the market. GORUCK is calling this a recovery sandal. What does that mean? Comfort and cushion. Here’s some of the styles available now: GORUCK Sandal Review How well does it work? Pretty well. These are not cheap sandals – but they are well made. First of all, let’s talk about the foam – there’s lots of it. It’s padded all over – in the forefoot, the arch, and the heel. There’s also a lot of arch support. This foam feels great on your feet – but it wouldn’t be good for carrying weight (it’s too mushy.) These are made from OOFOS OOfoam. But, that’s OK these aren’t for the ruck march – they are for your recovery AFTER the ruck march. The other key point with these is that [Read more …]

June 19, 2021 clothesadmin Comments Off

Let’s review Ruck boots from GORUCK. The MACV-1 is one of the nicest shoes (boot or otherwise) I’ve had the pleasure to test.
