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.

Leather Thong and Contoured Footbed causes discomfort
July 8, 2018
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 can't believe I ordered these because of the "price" and also how "dainty" they are. They came right out of the box onto my feet and never came off. Comfortable beyond expectation, and just the right shape for my wide foot. At first I thought the price was too high for the sole to not be leather, but then I remembered that leather gets discolored, and these won't. Then, because they are not leather, I was afraid the rubber would be too hot, but NOT. These may be expensive, but they LOOK expensive and they FEEL expensive. I am really proud of myself for ordering these and I love them!!!

Way more than I ever thought I would spend on a sandal/flip flop, but I'm extremely satisfied with them! Far more support than a standard flip flop, but not as much arch support as some of their other styles, which is perfect for my low arches. I'm typically an 8-8.5, and the 9 fits perfectly.

This is my 3rd pair of Olukai and these are the most comfortable. The Ohana's have a little too much arch support for me and these have a lot less. Just a note on sizing, I am a 6 1/2 but the O'Hana I have in a 6 and the Ho'opio in a 7 and they are overall the same length. Including picture of Ho'opio next to O'Hana so you can see the difference in arch support.

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.

Going on 2 years wearing these nonstop in the summer. Love that they have thinner straps and do not hurt even after walking all day in these flip flops, unlike other cheaper ones. Also like the fact that they are not too narrow, since my feet are borderline medium/wide width. Well worth the money to have no pain in ankles or balls of feet etc.
Leather is starting to come apart on the straps a little, and at the point where the small silver logo is in the middle of the sandal, but that is to be expected as they have been through puddles, beaches etc. Overall very happy and would purchase again.

Wow! I got these yesterday and wore them the remainder of the day and again this morning. THESE FLIP FLOPS are my new favorite Summer shoe. They are the most comfortable ones that I've ever worn. The arch support is great and the heel inclines a bit, forcing you to have straighter posture. They do run a bit small- if you are in the middle of a size, go UP. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these shoes!

I LOVE these sandals. I bought both a 10 and an 11 (usually wear 10) and the 11 fit better. Now that they're broken in, I'm happy with the 11 but it is just a smidge loose. But nothing that bothers me.
They're very comfortable despite their minimal design. I actually wore these while visiting NYC for the day - walked 8.5 miles in them and my feet didn't hurt at the end of the day - I was very surprised!

Love this color combination—looks good with anything . I’m a big Olukai fan & own several pairs & have worn out several pairs . My husband & oldest son have both become addicted to their quality & comfort :) I’m a 7.5 narrow foot & the 8 fits just right :)
