I love Oofos! I had a pair of the original style, but I lost them. I like this style even better! Im 31 weeks pregnant and our house has hardwood floors, which is a bad combination for my feet. I have wide feet and high arches and I tend to walk on the outside of my feet. Now they're swollen on top of that. My feet and back instantly feel better when I put them on. Theyre just as comfortable as the originals, but the shiny thin straps make them look like regular flip flops. I tried a cheaper, similar brand, but theres no comparison. The other brand were hard as rocks. I have the flip flops, the clogs for work, and I really want to get the new closed slip ons. A++
