2/1/16 Product update. The thong broke today! I was worried about the durability of that little piece of foam. I would NOT recommend these shoes even though Oofos customer service replaced them for me under warranty. The warranty is only 6 months and they would not exchange for the slide due to their warranty policy. There is no reinforcement in the thong. She also told me the shoes were only designed for about a 6 month life - if you are wearing daily.   Update 8/25//15. I definitely have been more willing to be more active with these shoes. The soreness has subsided somewhat, but there is no question the extra activity is contributing. Obviously, the goal was met  - I am more active in these shoes than I am in other shoes thanks to the support and comfort. The only question is, when will I be able to buy OOFOS dress and casual shoes with full leather uppers? They are probably too squishy to work well as active/athletic purposes.  Update 8/14. I lowered the review to 4 stars. My feet are a bit sore. I am not sure why, perhaps due to a bit more activity. These are still by far the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. However, I am concerned these aren't good for my plantar fasciitis. I will update the review in a few weeks to report any updates.  Original entry 8-10. Wow! I just got my Oofos yesterday and already I miss them!! I am at work, and unfortunately, I can't wear sandals with my suit. But if I could I would! These shoes are THAT GOOD! I have chronic plantar fasciitis and have tried everything except invasive surgery. Hopefully these shoes will make it more bearable. My Croc Comfort Clouds have been the best I have found, and I remember being very happy when I first got them. But they are EXTREMELY HOT look horrible, so I don't wear them much. I will update my review, hoping the joy continues.  I wish Oofos made inserts and/or casual and dress shoes. I will be FIRST on the list to buy! For now, I will wear my Oofos at every opportunity. I will begin a walking program powered by Oofos! I have been unable to walk much due to the pain, but I am hopeful these shoes help me get more active - which obviously will help with the overall condition.
