Incredibly comfortable and long lasting. Go for the thong rather than the slider - the front projects a bit and I was constantly tripping on stairs in the slider. Review: Hajj Sandals - I used these as my daily walking sandals during pilgrimage, averaging 12–20 miles a day and they performed incredibly well. I didn’t get a single blister or sore spot the entire time, which honestly shocked me. The cushioning is unbelievably soft and supportive and my feet felt comfortable even after hours on the move. Pros: Felt like walking on foam with just the right support No break-in period – zero blisters or rubbing, even with intense daily Lightweight Held up well through daily mileage and different surfaces Cons: Took a bit of getting used to the thong style at first if you’re not used to it Slightly pricey but absolutely worth every penny for the comfort I originally bought them thinking I’d use them just to recover after walking, but ended up wearing them all day, every day. One of the best purchases I made for the trip. ## Features - Feel the OO - The OOFOS shoe story begins with the OOriginal Sandal.

Would the size 7 be okay?** A: This is a difficult one - I am a size 6 in normal shoes and 6.5 in trainers and ordered size 6 or EU39If you are more like a 7.5 I would be tempted to size up rather than down.Hope they fit - They are sooo comfy **Q: How are the unisex ones different from the women’s ones?** A: I don’t think there is any difference, just maybe a bigger selection of larger sizes. I got some light blue ones in size 7 and they are wonderful. So comfortable. I don’t usually get on with toe posts but these are great. I also have a pair of the black sports slides and they are also fantastic. Would recommend highly. **Q: Just received these and wore them for the first time yesterday. Has anybody else found them painful? Really worried that I’ve wasted £50!** A: I find them very comfortable. **Q: Are these shoes for outdoor use?** A: Good Morning, The Oofos Thong Sandal can be worn outdoors, it has a patented footbed design which absorbs impact, cradles your arches and allows you to move naturally.

Incredibly comfortable and long lasting. Go for the thong rather than the slider - the front projects a bit and I was constantly tripping on stairs in the slider. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hajj Sandals *by A***A on 10 July 2025* I used these as my daily walking sandals during pilgrimage, averaging 12–20 miles a day and they performed incredibly well. I didn’t get a single blister or sore spot the entire time, which honestly shocked me. The cushioning is unbelievably soft and supportive and my feet felt comfortable even after hours on the move. Pros: Felt like walking on foam with just the right support No break-in period – zero blisters or rubbing, even with intense daily Lightweight Held up well through daily mileage and different surfaces Cons: Took a bit of getting used to the thong style at first if you’re not used to it Slightly pricey but absolutely worth every penny for the comfort I originally bought them thinking I’d use them just to recover after walking, but ended up wearing them all day, every day. One of the best purchases I made for the trip. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very comfortable, but expensive for what they are, and they squeak everywhere! *by B***X on 23 March 2020* Bought these after suffering from some tendonitis after walking too far in flip flops on holiday. They're a good fit and comfortable, but they squeak everywhere to the point that it's annoying and also they're pretty expensive. I guess their popularity has exploded similar to havaiannas. I don't really notice them helping me post work out or run, but i do wear them after each 5k and so there could be some merit to it. ## Frequently Bought Together - OOFOS OOriginal Recovery Sandal - Women’s and Men’s - OOFOS OOahh Recovery Slide - Women’s and Men’s - OOFOS Unisex OOcloog, Black - Men’s Size 14, Women’s Size 16 - Lightweight Recovery Footwear - Reduces Stress on Feet, Joints & Back --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/69313411-unisex-original-thong](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/69313411-unisex-original-thong) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
