SUPERPLUSH from ROLL Recovery
Engineered for recovery
I’m not sure if I’ve fully bought into the “recovery” footwear thing yet. But it must be said - some are more comfortable than others, and some certainly fit better than others. Enter the SUPERPLUSH Slide from ROLL Recovery.
For me the most important aspect of a recovery shoe, is that when I’m done with my workout - either coming from outside or off the treadmill - I don’t track my sweaty feel all over the house.
That being said, I will throw out what I feel are a few important features:
Bloom Foam technology - sustainable, created with algae (!)
Cradle design - wraps around the edges of your feet
Gender-specific sizing (men’s 9.0 for me)
Orthofit arch/midfoot support
No trouble with sizing here - full sizes only, if you’re in between, go down a half size. My running shoe true-to-size is US 9.5, and these slides in 9.0 fit perfectly - either with or without socks.
They fit securely and hold on to my foot well when walking around. The feel underfoot is not mushy soft, I’d call it “comfortably supportive”. I like the subtle arch contouring (Orthofit) which is not overdone. It gives your foot muscles some freedom to spread out and relax.
I also like the cradle design which wraps around the edges of the foot. I’m never a big fan of having my feet teetering over the edges of sand als- especially if they’re in delicate condition after a long race!
Some may prefer a squishy feel underfoot for this type of footwear, but this one hits just right for me. A supportive and sustainable level of cushioning, no fuss, let your body do its recovery thing!
