Holy grail of mf flip flops right here!!! I swear these shoes have changed my whole life. I will never buy another brand or style of flips ever again. I want them in every color. I will buy another pair every year, if not two a year. I’m wearing them right now and it’s freezing out but I care not. I have kinda sweaty, hot feet and it’s hard for me to find anything like this that my foot doesn’t slide around on or isn’t horribly uncomfortable. These are so so good. Quality and workmanship really shows here and it IS a case of “get what you pay for”. They are COMFORTABLE. Right from the very first wear. They are SUPPORTIVE when most flip flops cannot ever make that claim. I have not worn much else since I bought them. They are SUPERB QUALITY as I’ve been wearing them everywhere since I got them 6 months back and they still kinda look new, honestly. Not a flaw to be found. They are SO CUTE. I always get compliments and they go with everything. If I haven’t convinced you yet, let me know I’ll come back and say more bomb things about these BOMB shoes. Thank you
This is my sixth pair of Olukai flip flops. They just don't wear out. I have several pairs I've worn for years and they still look like new. The best part aside from looks is the comfort. I have a high arch and most flip flop sandals have little to no support. These are delightfully comfortable.
I live in AZ and casual is the dress code most of the time. These flip flops go on in the morning and are always very comfortable all day long.I wear a six and that is what I ordered. I believe a good arch support is essential and a strong sturdy fit means they will last. These are quality for sure. Mine are a beautiful medium blue and look great with a tan.
In spite of the fact that the 2 sandal straps do not fit flush on my foot, the sandal is extraordinarily comfortable, is easy to walk in, and does not fall off. My foot is between a Narrow and Medium so am not totally surprised. Just surprised the fit and comfort is so good anyway. I am a half size, so because of that and the recommendation to size down for half sizes, i did, and I am pleasantly surprised with the comfort. Only thing I’m not so happy about as appearance of space between two straps and foot. Nonetheless, I’ve gotten compliments, asked for brand name, and wearing them non-stop!
Super soft feel with good arch support and stays firmly on my mid/narrow feet. They are the only flips that I wear. Super comfy and great for casual or dressy occasions.
This is my second pair of Olukai Ohanas; my first one fell apart after almost three years of constant use. I suffer a lot of embarrassment over my heinous hooves. I have significant bunions and absolutely no arch. None. I've had multiple podiatrists describe my feet as "the flattest I've ever seen." They are so flat that I have to wear shoes all the time, or I'll have back and leg pain by the end of the day. These are my around the house/garden shoes, and my favorite on a hot day. For the record, I'm an 8.5, so I ordered the 9, which was the right decision for my feet.If your feet are pancakes like mine, they will creep to the very edges of this shoe, but the support is similar to a quality orthotic. They're solidly constructed with great tread at the bottom, so you won't go sliding in the mud or rain. The fabric toe grip is comfortable and perfectly aligned, and the wide toe box is great for mutants like me.Is it expensive? Depends on how you look at it. For me, $10 flip flops that look like clown shoes are expensive, because the item itself is trash, and will probably need to be replaced in a few months. This is expensive to the environment, and as a repeat purchase. I spent basically $22 a year to wear a shoe all the time -- and almost *nothing* is comfortable on my feet. I could create a tower of all the shoes I've tried that ended up a waste of money. These would not be a part of that tower.Whether you walk a lot or just a little, or are looking for a slipper or a sturdy beach shoe, this sandal is all of the above. Your wallet might whine a little, but your feet will thank you over and over (and over) again.
I like the support these sandals provide. The arch is perfect and I feel secure with each step I take.
I live in flip flops. It’s hard to find a pair that won’t slip on sleek wet surfaces. These don’t slip at all!!! They fit snug and look really cute too. I’m going to buy another pair.
