I’ve been a runner for around ten years, and unfortunately, I’ve dealt with plantar fasciitis for almost that same amount of time. No matter how religiously I stretch my calves or roll out the arches of my feet with aspiky massage ball, the tell-tale pain makes an appearance annually. That means I’ve become Cinderella-level picky with my footwear, especially when I’m marathon training and running upwards of 30 miles a week.

But surprisingly, the shoe that matters most in managing my plantar fasciitis isn’t mygo-to running shoe—although yes, that’s important too. Instead, it’s thisclunky, max-cushioned recovery slide from OOFOSthat’s won my heart and sole (I’m so sorry for the pun). Right now, my beloved sandals are 20 percent off, thanks to the OOFOS Black Friday sale—and you better believe I’m stocking up now to keep my feet happy in 2026 and beyond.

The second I finish a run, I kick off my trainers and slip into something more comfortable—my beloved recovery slides. Thick and cushioned, these sandals are surprisingly supportive; I don’t feel like I’m sinking into them. The firm foam puts a pep in my step, even walking on my home’s hardwood floors or post-20 mile run (or both). The slight rocker shape helps propel me forward, making every step feel like I’m floating.

Aside from the OOahh Sport Slide Sandal, which we named thebest recovery sandal for foot injuries, I’ve also got my eye on a pair of closed-toe recovery shoes, like theOOmy Stride, for keeping my recovery habits strong when the weather prevents me from wearing my beloved slides. I’m also tempted by theOOcoozie Thermo Mules, which would make a perfect recovery shoe for short winter dog walks or running errands.

While OOFOS’s main Black Friday sale is 20 percent off sitewide, it’s also worth taking a spin through theirsale sectionfor some hidden deals. They’re offering up to 71 percent off end-of-season styles, including 57 percent off thiscute slip-on styleand 71 percent off theseplatforms with mega-cushioned soles.

We don’t know exactly how long theOOFOS Black Friday Salewill last, so hurry and get your order in before these deals start walking away.
