... it took a few days to decide if I liked them or not
September 5, 2017
I'm giving these sandals 4 stars because it took a few days to decide if I liked them or not. These sandals are a nice looking shoe, but I have both arthritis and what we're guessing is plantar fasciitis and I REALLY wanted these to feel awesome out of the box. The heel cup was much harder than I expected from the reviews I've read. The arch support is better than my crocs flip flops, but my crocs are softer with more "give" to them. Now that I have had them for a week, they feel more comfortable. I do have to say though, if the bottom of your heels feel like mine do in the morning, you might want to find a shoe with more of a cushiony heel cup. I feel these sandals are fine for around the house, short-term use. I don't dislike them enough to return them, but because I live in Florida I will most likely try to find a softer sandal to wear when out and about.

DISAPPOINTED
August 8, 2016
I want to give these shoes more stars because when I first got them I LOVED them. They were very supportive and helped immensely with being on my feet all day.
Now the bad. I purchased these shoes on July 11th...they didn't even last a MONTH! I wore them often but not daily. It's summer so they were the perfect on-the-go flip flop. August 1st I put them on in the morning and realize they're suddenly flopping more than they're flipping! Turns out, the sole came apart from the footbed. Upon further inspection it looks like the footbed even shrank a bit. I went to web looking for answers and their site mentions something about "shrinking" due to exposure to high heat and/or water abuse.....it's a FLIP FLOP! Am I supposed to wear it in the winter and keep them dry at all times??? It's not like I went swimming with them on or left them in the sun to tan. If they're that fragile maybe we shouldn't be paying $65 for them.

I have flat feet and now 70.I live in Sacramento, and I was raised on Guam when my feet were young and i travel to Hawaii now a few times a year. I wear flip flops even in our mild winters....Obviously, I hate closed toed shoes...My right hip and leg now pays the price...I get it...more then one podiatrist of recent has tried to sell me the 400 buck-700 buck orthotic to put in a sneaker...I tried one recently on a trial run, and in a few hours the doc had his sneaker back..Of course he said there was no such flip flop to deliver what I needed and my condition would worsen. Not to throw anyone under the bus,my flippys of choice was Teva and Sanuk.and.forget Dr. Scholls inserts. So I looked on Amazon,cause reviews mean alot to me. If YOU tried them and liked them,then maybe me too...WOW...I am an 8,and the fit is true to size,too many colors to choose from,but chose a neutral in Java..I put them on, and immediately thought the arch is too high BUT listened to a few reviews from you gals out there and kept them on...Now I can't take them off,the pain is gone and they seem to have molded to my feet. I found out that one foot is worse then the other. The painful right side foot was definitely flatter, and now they feel equal...All I can say is MAHALO..I AM DELIGHTED BEYOND WORDS.and NO folks I do not work for them....will call my podiatrist and let him know..THERE IS AN ORTHOTIC FLIP FLOP...and it works...

I bought these for more arch support as described, but these are just okay...somewhat heavy and "clunky"
And did not notice any difference in support than a "regular" flip flop and there is absolutely no " cushy"
comfort in the footbed.

I have plantars faciatis. These sandals are my favorite to wear to support my arches and prevent my feet from hurting. I have ordered four pairs of these. They are well made. I have a medium to wide foot and ordered the medium. The width is good and my foot fits okay, but would prefer a slightly wider foot bed. The arch support is excellent. The colors are excellent. I have white, brown, black and dark blue. I normally wear an 8 - 8 1/2 in most shoes. I ordered an 8 and the length is perfect. Also, received these in two day with Amazon Prime with free shipping. Great sandals!! Great customer service.

These are the most expensive flip flops I’ve ever purchased, but I am glad I went ahead and got them. They are comfortable even after standing all day. Whether they are worth the price will be determined by how long they last. They are a little squeeky, but I’m hoping that will go away after I break them in. I usually wear a womens 7, but if a shoe is narrow I wear 7.5. I ordered these in an 8, which is what I usually opt for in flip flops. They seemed a little tight at the tops of my feet at first, but seems fine now.

I live in sunny AZ and wear sandals year-round. I also have high arches and am prone to plantar fasciitis. I won't ever buy another cheap, non-supportive pair of sandals after finding sandals from Moszkito brand and OluKai brand. Both brands hover somewhere in the $60-$85 range, but I feel that the sandals are worth the price.
This sandal (Ohana in dark java) is a nice dark brown color. Very comfortable. Just enough cushion and arch support. The part in between the toes rubs just a tad, but it's okay.
The main thing I wanted to point out here is that these sandals run a little bit small. I wear a size 7.5 shoe, but usually buy 8 in sandals just in case. I don't like feeling my heal or toes on the ends or even close to the end. I bought an 8 here and it's almost too small. So if you buy these, definitely go up a size. Overall, very happy to have found another brand of cute, supportive sandals.

When they arrived ,earlier, I had been shopping all day and wearing a small healed shoe, my feet were tired and a bit sore, so not really fair to give a good review then. I was ready to send them back, but I waited until morning and tried them on again when my feet were fresh, the fit was good, the arch support seemed a little bit high at first. but as I wore them, they seem to mold to your feet, it was like they were made just for you.,these sandals turned out to be very comfortable, it's like you're not even wearing shoes,......I am very happy with my purchase, I will be ordering them again in different colors.

Love my Olukai's! When I was told I need to start wearing shoes with better arch support, I was very sad that I had to give up my favorite Sanuk flip-flops. I started to search for a flip-flop I could wear and came across these. I'm definitely going to be buying more as these are really comfortable and supportive. I could wear these all day long immediately, with no break in period. I'm sold!

Fit - I tried on a pair in the LAX airport I'm usually between a 7 and 7 1/2 and the 8m for woman fit better. Glad I did so I purchased the 8m and fits perfect. At 1st I thought it would be big but it's perfect.
How long can you wear? Just like any foot arch supports from the dr office or specialty stores. They take some time to get used to. I had to wear for the 1st week about 3-4 hours a day. Now they are good! Takes some time to get used to but they are definitely good arch support flip/flops

I loved these flip flops when I got them. I needed a high arch for a knee issue. However, I have only had them for one week and they are coming apart at the sides. I need to get a replacement.

These are pricey- yes, but my last pair lasted more then 6 years and only need replacing cause they stretched out a bit. These are SO AMAZING in comfort for feet which are happier with arch support which is hard to find in a flip flop. If live in flip flops during summer - well worth it!!!!!!!!!'
