How does women's sizing work?

The sizes listed are men's. Women should choose a size two lower than their women's size, so a women's 8 takes a men's 6.

Is it good for plantar fasciitis?

It is soft and cushioned rather than supportive, so some people with foot pain like it for short recovery wear, but it lacks the arch support a firmer orthotic-style sandal gives.

Yes. The sandal is machine washable, and the foam resists moisture and bacteria.

How does it compare with a flip-flop?

It has far more cushioning and a heel strap-free slide shape, but less structure than a contoured sport sandal.

Yes, the Ooriginal is unisex, sold in men's sizes.

Wearing after runs, workouts or long shifts to ease pressure on feet, knees and joints.
