OOFOS’ proprietary OOfoam technology and patented footbed work together to allow the foot to operate without restriction. Traditional & performance footwear, as well as man-made surfaces like concrete, tile, etc. introduce our feet to unnatural substances, causing stress to our joints and unnatural foot & ankle movement. OOFOS places the foot in the most natural position - as if it were walking on a natural surface like grass or compact sand.
OOfoam technology ...
- Absorbs 37% more impact than traditional performance foams
- Has a slow rebound, while most performance shoes have a fast response to get you off of the ground.
- Reduces ankle power req'd to talk 34% over traditional EVA performance foams.
- Is proprietary to OOFOS. It's like the Coca-Cola formula, it wasn't patented so that it wouldn't be available on the public domain. SY Lee is the only person in the world that knows the OOfoam chemical compound.

The OOFOS footbed is the only part of the shoe that is patented. The footbed puts the foot in a natural position that allows weight to evenly distribute among the surface of the shoe in all directions.
The bottom curved shape takes pressure off of the heel and under the foot, therefore making it easier to walk and enable natural motion. It is not a traditional rocker bottom, but acts much in the same way due to the elevated arch and rounded toe/heel.
Due to OOFOAM being a more absorbent foam, the support in the footbed caresses each individual's’ arch without feeling unnatural. Each step will soften the tissues on the underside of the arch and allow the plantar fascia muscle to elongate and stretch out, therefore helping to reduce stress on the tissue.
Other brands may use a similar footbed to the patented OOFOS footbed shape, but it will not feel as good as OOFOS because of our OOFOAM. The OOFOAM and the footbed combination is what makes OOFOS unique.
