Near as I can tell, OOFOS OOriginal Sport Sandals are orthopedic flip-flops for people who don't want to look like they're wearing orthopedic flip-flops. So, yeah. Definitely out as a gift for Dad this Father's Day, since the old man prefers footwear that highlights his bad knee and arthritic feet.
OOFOS developed a proprietary OOfoam technology they use in all of their shoes and sandals, a product the company says is proven to absorb 37% more impact than traditional foam in footwear. OOFOS has also patented their footbeds, designed to cradle and support arches. When OOfoam and OOFOS footbeds are tread upon in tandem, the result is said to be an up to 47% reduction in energy exertion in the ankles, compared to competitor brands. In other words, walking is a little easier, and aching Dad bods hurt a little less from doing it.
OOFOS OOriginal Sport Sandals come in both men's and women's sizes, and a handful of different colors, each with hand-painted graphics intended to sport-ify them. The flip-flops are also machine-washable, for when you stink them up during sporting endeavors.

It's officially spring, so naturally I am champin' at the bit to get to summer. These Suicoke Padri Sandals are about as summer-ready as they come, with a cush, walk-to-the-pool contoured footbed, and rubber sole sporting...

Hollow Massage Sandals & Shower Shoes
I don't think these hollow-soled massage sandals / shower shoes were 3D printed, but they sure do look like they belong at a family reunion with footwear that was. Zellerfelds. The Cryptide <a href="http

Banana Flip-Flops
These Banana Flip-Flops better be non-slip. On the outside and on the inside. Because they may be fruity and fun to look at, but if this dude is going to wear a bunch of bananas on his feet, I need a guarantee they're...

GUDO Footprint Flip-Flops
When I say GUDO's flip-flops have footprints embossed in their soles, what I really mean is the summer sandals will leave behind marks in the sand that look like a human mated with, like, a palm tree. Or maybe a nice...

Solethreads Recliner Flip-Flops
The bad news: Solethreads Recliner Flip-Flops are not made from actual recliners. The good news: they're made from actual yoga mats instead. This is probably even better because, while recliners are indeed muy comfortable...

Reef Men's Mulligan II Flip Flops
One question: what the fairway is up with that bulging golf ball embedded in the Mulligan II Flip Flops' footbed? Reef's only reference to it is to say their golf fan's footwear has a "molded golf ball logo." Yeah, more...
