Once there were Crocs. Birkenstock had its day in the sun. KEEN, Chaco, Teva, and Vibram FiveFingers all come to mind when thinking back over the past few years of footwear crazes.<\/p>\n

Steve Gallo thinks OOFOS could be next. As president of the brand, he has a bias. But after working in footwear for 25 years, most recently as a GM at adidas, Gallo is bullish as the brand gains awareness and some key cultural trends align.<\/p>\n

Nine years ago, OOFOS launched with a new kind of all-foam sandal made for the outdoors and beyond. The brand is doubling down to try and become an \u201cit\u201d shoe of the year.<\/p>\n
