Oofos has revealed its latest sneaker.
According to the active recovery footwear brand, it has launched the new Oomy Stride shoe, which includes several design and structural updates from previous models.
Oofos said in a statement that 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 your foot centered over the platform when walking.

Compared to other styles, the company noted that the new outsole provides deeper flex grooves for increased traction and lug longevity, the company said. Overall, the new platform surrounds the foot in Oofoam, the brand’s impact absorption technology, as opposed to the foot resting on top of it.
Other design attributes include 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.
Plus, the lightweight material on the quarter panels hugs the rear portion of the foot to give the wearer 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 company added.
“Our newest advancement is one we’ve been excited about for quite some time,” Lou Panaccione, co-founder and chief executive officer at Oofos, said in a statement. “As the pioneers of active recovery footwear, we are constantly looking for ways to improve upon our one-of-a-kind technology to help make our customers feel even better and to provide styles that fit all aspects of their lives. And with the Oomy Stride, we have accomplished that.”
The Oomy Stride, which retails for $159.95, is now available in both men’s and women’s styles at Oofos.com.
