Bokos Sandals Review

by


women sandals
I received a pair of the Bokos Women’s Melon Sandals to review. I love a good pair of sandals, and when I read the description and history of Bokos I knew I had to try them!
Bokos was created by two brothers from Minneapolis, Minnesota. They spent time overseas and returned to the US with sandals similar to Bokos. They loved them and wore them everywhere. They were durable, easy to clean, and fun to wear. Others noticed and started asking about them and how they could get a pair as well. So, Bokos was born!

Sandals

When I put the Bokos on the first time I loved the fit. They aren’t too loose or too tight on top. They are flexible and comfortable. I am really surprised how comfortable the material is. When they said these are sandals you wear everywhere they were right! I have been wearing them everywhere: around the house, at the store, to the kids’ therapy appointments, outside, etc.
I even put them to the test by wearing them for an entire day when we were out enjoying the attractions in Houston. I was on my feet most of the day and was pleasantly surprised! They didn’t hurt any more than they would if I was wearing my most comfortable tennis shoes! This is a BIG deal because my feet hurt easily! I have never had this experience with sandals before! I was able to stay comfortable, cool, and stylish. Who wants to wear tennis shoes with a skirt? I often have to, though!
I also like that the material can get wet because that means I could also wear them when we go fishing, swimming, or to the beach as well! Plus, they are extremely easy to clean off! Comfortable and convenient!

Sandals

I feel like Bokos sandals are sandals I can rely on and are great for a busy, on-the-go woman like myself. You can wear them with so much. Plus they are comfortable, and easy to clean. They are exactly what I want in a sandal!

About OOfos:

We can get into the technical aspects of OOfos but let’s be honest here, what matters is this: OOfos uses a type of foam that absorbs 37% more impact energy than most other shoes. OOfos is very light. OOfos uses a patented foot bed design that helps your feet feel comfortable.
Shoes that absorb impact, are light and are comfortable are by far the best types of shoes because they prevent your feet from making you feel uncomfortable.
You have all heard somebody say “My dogs are tired”. You can usually see that the person who said that looks tired and uncomfortable. The reason for this is your comfort during the day depends a great deal on having comfortable shoes. OOfos describes the comfortable feeling you get from wearing their shoes as “the OO”
The one thing that I don’t like about open shoes is that your feet get dirty from dust and grime and this dirt is then walked into the shoe and makes the shoe look dirty and grimy. I’m not a clean freak but, OOfos has another OO for me. The OO, it is machine washable OO feeling.
OOfos is constructed as one piece so there is no stitching or glue used to make the shoe, so you can toss them in the wash without wondering if they will fall apart.
I highly recommend open shoes like the OOfos thong or slide for young kids, especially teenage boys. I spent a good deal of my childhood in a boarding school and smelly feet is something I’m unfortunately very familiar with. Nothing helps more than getting those smelly feet in some clean air and a bit of sunlight and the OOfos shoes are perfect for that.
Spending my entire day in hard leather school uniform shoes I quickly learned that feet can not be kept in shoes all day every day or they start to attract bacteria that causes the bad foot smell. There are two very effective treatments for bacteria, O2 or oxygen from the air around us and ultraviolet light from sunlight so I would spend as much time as possible barefoot or wearing open shoes.
Adults can gain the same benefits for OOfos. Let’s not pretend adults feet don’t like to be comfortable and get some fresh air. OOfos do come in male and female sizes so Mom and Dad can both feel the OO and strut around in their lightweight and ultra comfortable OOfos too.

About the Foot Bed Design

OOfos, the OO

If you look at to OOFos foot bed you will notice that the shoe starts off higher in the back and slopes down to the ball of the foot. The inner foot area is also raised. When you slip your foot in to the shoe the shoe fits the natural shape of your foot perfectly while some other shoes of the same design are flat and unnatural. This is one of the reasons why this shoe is so comfortable.
