... 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.

These sandals are super comfy, with sturdy soles for working, have decent grip, and do well when wet, so I want to love them . . . but the toe strap broke after 2 months on the first pair. Olukai replaced them for me (but at that point it was past sandal season here), so I put them away for the winter. Now another 2 or 2.5 months of use on the replacement pair and the toe strap has broken again. Guess I'll have to go back to Chacos.

Difficult to return...nice looking sandals...

I am an Olukai fan, owning 9 pairs of Ohana's. All are extremely comfortable, for hours of walking and standing, however this pair for some reason is very uncomfortable with the tape cutting into my toe and the band on either side rubbing the tops of my toes. So disappointed, since they are not inexpensive shoes.

These were comfortable flip flops but way too expensive. I ordered the Sea Glass color because the picture showed a colored line around the side, which wasn't there. That was the main reason I ordered them. The color was a little off too. I would never buy another pair.

Disappointed

The item received was not what I thought it was going to be. I have a pair I have woren for 3 years & the ones I received are not the same quality.

This style did not fit right, the straps were to thick and tight although the sole size was perfect. The Kulapa Kai style fits me perfectly.

The sole of these flip flops is a little on the heavy side but the arch support is nice and high so in the beginning these shoes are comfortable, wear them everyday for 6month, they song or top portion of the shoes starts to get really loose and then you end up dragging your feet because you can't walk otherwise. my feet actually got really sore dragging all the time. I would say if these shoes cost 30 bucks fine, but I bought them at local shop and paid 90 dollars, for that much money you expect a shoe to last a while not 6-8 months, and then become a throw away loose mess. No wonder there are so many of these on ebay being sold used, they look ok but they are a mis shapen mess for the most part after short enough wear. Overall will not buy again, too poor quality for such a fat price tag.

two stars because they were awsome but didnt last very long before the toe blew out. i wore flip flops for 3 months ( on weekends and some evenings during the week) not worth the extra money. i will not purchase again for the 110$ i paid. they are no better longevity than any other brand. tired of not getting what i pay for.
