Really nice
November 9, 2016
I really love these. They have good (not great) arch support, but are also slimmer and cuter than most in this category, IMO. I definitely want another pair. I also have good utility flips from both Keen and Orthaheel, and those are definitely more substantial, but again, these are good, but maybe not for a full-on day of walking or sightseeing, or whatever. Coral is a really nice color, too. They're nice and pretty sleek. I am glad I read the size reviews, first, as well - these fit me perfectly, but I ordered a 9 when I am often (especially in sandals) an 8-8 1/2. I think they are a true EUR 39, which is my size in other brands. So go with that, I'd say.

They just don’t fit my foot.
January 30, 2018
My problem with these flip flops is they just don’t match the shape of my foot. The position of the piece between the toes is too far back from the front of the foot bed, so that there is too much space beyond my toes and not enough space behind my heel. They are also just a bit narrow for me. And, of course, they are pricey. I should have returned them, but I was hoping they would loosen up a bit so that my foot would eventually sit farther forward on the foot bed. That didn’t happen.

Despite owning 2 other pairs of OluKai (Ohana and Kulapa Kai) that are quite comfortable, I wanted to try these because they were a little dressier and had a grey footbed that wouldn't stain my heels. I bought a size 7 (I am a natural size 6.5) and while I love the look and the grey sole, they are not nearly as comfortable as the other pairs I own. The leather post thong is stiff and irritates me when I walk and the "contoured" footbed at the toe area doesn't fit me correctly and also causes discomfort. I might have a had a better experience sizing down to a 6 than up to a 7. Given my experience with my other 2 Olukai's, I decided to keep them hoping over time they would break-in and become more comfortable. After 5 months, there is no discernible difference. I only wear them for short periods of time. The only reason I am not marking this product 2 stars is because of the sizing - someone who is closer to the whole size may have a better experience.

I just received these and they are my second pair of OluKai. I ordered size 7 and they are almost too small. My foot is usually closer to a 61/2 than 7, but I usually get 7. The other pair I have fit perfectly, but these are just not right. Consider ordering a size up.

I'm a standard size 8 and these def felt small/tight. I even felt like the bottom was too heavy for the skinny straps that even with the good arch support these would be bad for my feet/back. Def not what I was hoping to feel in a $70 pair of flip flops. Will try a size 9 in a style with wider straps to support the weight of the bed of the shoe. My husband swears by his all leather Olukai flip flops and we both have high arches.

I wanted to like these, as the foot bed was really comfortable. The strap fit, but the material just rubbed too much. After 30 minutes I started to get sores, and I knew there was no "breaking them in." I have a pretty average foot 7.5/8 narrow to normal width. I see why people say they are too small. The toe box has more room than the heel, but the next size up would have been way to big.

Really love these flip flops and the fit is great and offers support for feet. This style is slick when wet so often gets a negative review...that said they make a different sole that does not slide but it is not as feminine cut and bulky looking.
The reason I only gave 3 stars is the colors rub off rather quickly on the heels and toes making the shoe appear “ dirty” when it is actually just the black base striking thru. So buying the ones with the black base and color strap is better even though I love the fun colors.

I bought these after wearing the Kulapa Kai for about a year and loving them. This shoe was a bit slimmer, not as clunky looking, thought they would be a bit more dressy (if a flip flop can be dressy). And they are, but they do not have nearly the arch support of the Kulapa Kai and the surface is slippy under your foot. They won't be a shoe I wear all the time.

The sole is cut to narrow at the top outer edge and my toes hang off. The sole of the pair I bought at a store are definitely cut more generously and provide a much better fit. I'm disappointed, and will return them today.

I wanted to live these, but unfortunately they run narrower than the Ohanas, and the strap is less sturdy feeling than the ohanas, but the footbed felt heavy like the ohanas. I am a true 7.5/8 and the 8 fit perfectly. Also, I received a size 8 and 9 in my box. Not good. I returned them for a different olukai sandal.

Thank you my slippers. I really like them. However, I think you sent me the wrong color and style. Received silver instead of blue. Style different. These straps are thicker
