The OOahh uses the same OOfoam and arch-hugging footbed as the OOriginal, in a single-strap slide. There's no toe post, so it's easier to slip on with socks and kinder to feet that dislike flip-flops.
It is very soft. Some runners find that heavenly after a long run, while others find it unstable because the heel sinks and the foot wanders on the footbed. If you liked the OOriginal, you'll like this. If that felt too soft, this will too.
“Absurdly soft. Some people love that, some don't.”
