These are a great quality shoe. A little more money than most; however, you get what you pay for. They fit true to size, and would definitely buy again.

Feet down the best pair of sandals I've purchased. Others are correct that you should purchase a ½ size larger than normal. I took that advice and I'm glad I did. They are even comfortable on moderate-long walks. I've owned other sandals where moderate-long walks were out of the question as far as comfort goes but the Hiapo's are up for the challenge. The glue where the strap meets the side has worn a little over the last couple of months but the straps are also stitched to the side so I'm not too worried about it.

I typically do not wear sandals because I have had a couple foot injuries and require substantial arch support. I knew that I would need to wear some, however, on a recent beach trip in SE Asia. I opted for the Hiapos based on the fantastic reviews, and I could not have been more pleased. I typically wear a 12 wide, so I ordered both the 12 medium and the 13 medium. The 12s were a little snug and a little short, so I\'d say they run true to size for width and maybe a half size small for length.

This was a gift for my husband and he absolutely loved them. They provided great support for his arches, which is extremely hard to find in flip-flops.

These flip flops are almost everything you\\\'d want them to be. I\'ve owned them now for about a month. The only downsides I\\\'ve noticed is they took a couple weeks to break in comfort-wise (although that\\\'s probably normal) and sometimes the leather squeaks when walking quickly. Other than that they are a stellar feet companion!

Wonderful sandals. The arch support is great and fits perfect. The natural curve when you walk is just amazing. I would highly recommend these to anyone that wants a great pair of sandals should try these. My wife wears the MBTs and she like the feel of these when she tried them. I can see her buying a pair for vacation soon.

Got these for my husband, the first few times he wore them, he said they felt weird, but now loves them. He has wore Clark flip flops with no arch support in the past and these have arch support, so it took a few times to get used to it. He normally wears size 10 in all shoes and had to go up to an 11 in these. Says they are worth the money.

These flip flops really look like a hundred bucks! You know your looking at quality and my husband says they feel like quality. He said they become even more comfortable each time he wears them. The black leather has a carmel colored (brown) stitching so they look great with anything. He loves them, I love them.

I love this style flip flop. This is my 3rd pair. I have two other colors. These look great with jeans and shorts. Worth the extra money!

My new sandals were bought as a replacement for my Uggs, which were the best to date. While it took a few outings to break the OluKais in, they have been a good replacement. I bought a half size bigger and that was perfect.

I tried a pair of these on in Key West last month and they felt great but I didn't want to buy them then since it meant one more thing to squeeze in the carry-on for the trip home. The day after I got home to Ohio I found these shoes on Zappos and ordered them. It has been just over a month now so I can't speak on the long term durability of these but the comfort is outstanding. Every chance I get to wear these I do. Knowing what I know now I would have bought these in Key West and found a way to get them home. The only drawback is that they shouldn't get wet so I am careful with them poolside. Other than that, truly worth the higher price.

The OluKai Hiapo has got to be one of the best investments in footwear I have ever made. They're exquisitely crafted. They conform to the foot perfectly right out of the box. So cushy a ride and such amazing support for a thong sandal, it's unbelievable, I don't even like to take them off! And I'm not really a foot sandal kind of guy! But these have converted me for good. I'm impressed by the look and design of the sandal as well as by their quality and fit. Simply outstanding and worth every cent. Get 'em! I give these my unequivocal recommendation.

OluKai flops are the best (have 2 pairs of Hiapos) - extremely well-made and supportive. I have narrow, flat feet, and the footbed shape/arch support is excellent. The longer strap also helps fit. I have even shot hoops in these (just shooting around). Note that other reviewers are correct: OluKai run small so get yours in a half to one full size larger than you normally wear. My wife likes them, too. She keeps "trying" them on around the house. I just ordered the Haiku for her yesterday. I imagine she will like those even better since they fit. Highly recommended; worth every penny & support is better than many shoes.

My wife and I first saw these shoes in a local surf shop a year or so ago and fell in love with OluKai shoes. Since I live at the beach I wear sandals year round almost every day and these are worth the price. Buy them today.

I have had these flip flops now for about a week. I am thrilled with the comfort, look, and fit. I am a 9.5 in shoes and the size 10 was the perfect choice. Service was absolutely fantastic. Started with Merrell Westsport and they were too small and tight. Decided to upgrade to the OluKai Hiapo and that next day the shoes were at my door and the Westsports were taken away by UPS. Wonderful experience!

Wearing the OluKai Hiapo is like being on a perpetual vacation. The arch support allows me to wear them all day without my feet feeing tired. Flip flops are my thing--I have a variety in my closet. The OluKai Hiapo's are the only ones I reach for. Yes, this "ride" is spendy, but well worth the cash. They felt great on the first test drive and continue to feel great. I am considering another OluKai in a different style. Zappos is the only way to go. The customer service is amazing. You people rock!

These sandals are awesome!! Right out of the box very comfortable, stylish and not to mention well made. I have an arch like the Golden Gate Bridge and these sandals have excellent arch support and are true to size! They are a bit pricey but look great and feel even better, so to me it's worth the extra money! And as always Zappos rocks!!!

First time flip wearer. I needed a "dressy" all leather flip to wear around the pools in Las Vegas (or so my wife told me.) After wearing these for a just a few days, I cannot believe it took me until age 50 to slip a pair onto my feet. Excellent support, great looks, and what appears to be very sound construction. They were a hit around the poolside!

I'm not a guy who likes flip-flops with a thong between your toes, but my wife convinced me that my no thong Foot-Joy flip flops weren't "cool" or "adult" enough for her. So, after trying on dozens of flip-flops in different stores, I came to Zappos and read reviews until I settled on four pairs to try. With their free shipping both ways, I was able to find the perfect pair. The stiff-looking leather that goes between your toes is actually very comfortable - no chafing no matter how long I wear them. And they stay comfortable. You get what you pay for, and the price for these flip-flops seemed extravagant, but it's been a smart move for this picky shopper.

Maybe my expectations were unreasonably high based on all of the great reviews, or maybe my feet are not the type that the Hiapo was designed for but I find that the comfort is not what I expected, especially for the price. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind paying for quality and comfort, it's just that the comfort was not where it should have been at the price point on the Hiapo. The top strap should have been constructed of softer, more comfortable materials. I do have a narrow, somewhat flat foot, the design and comfort of the foot bed was good for me. I have had a difficult time breaking the Hiapo in; the top strap has been extremely uncomfortable and would have worn blisters on the top of my foot if I had not taken the shoe off while breaking it in. Fortunately, I allowed plenty of time for break-in and wasn't forced to do a lot of walking and wind up with blisters. I am very happy with the styling of the Hiapo and the overall quality of the materials used seems good. I read in other reviews that people have worn them at the beach and have gotten them wet. The all-leather style does come with a brochure which states that the leather is not designed for use around water, so I wouldn't do this with the leather model. As usual the service provided by Zappos was excellent. Their prices aren't always the best but Zappos customer service is consistently outstanding and I don't mind paying a little extra for that (it's why I bought a Mac). I gave the Hiapo an overall rating of 3 stars because I don't think that the comfort to value ratio is where it should be. The comfort got 2 stars, the footbed was comfortable for me, but the top strap is still not as comfortable as it needs to be. The style gets 5 stars in my book. This shoe definitely runs small, I recommend ordering a size larger than you normally would.

I received my original order yesterday with next day shipping. That in its own right is greatness, considering free shipping. I read many of the reviews about ordering a size bigger because they would run a size smaller, but I was caught in a dilemma. I wear 10.5, so I thought getting the 11 size would be more acceptable, they were not! So, using Zappos’ great shipping and return policy, I returned them for a straight exchange for 12s. They were shipped that night w/next day shipping and received them at 5:00 that next day without having returned the wrong sized ones yet (great customer service). Comfort is second to none. I have a very high arch that causes me discomfort in my heels and the sides of my feet. These OluKai have taken all of that away for now. Plus, their designs are so original. I had a hard choice, they were all intriguing. I have had them for only a couple of days, so I will post a 3 month wear test in the future.

 |  | I just called Zappos to ask questions about shoe width (I need a wider size) and a rep helped me to find some boots that come in wide sizes, of which I ordered two pair. She was very helpful and friendly, and also upgraded me to VIP status. I'm THRILLED that my order will come tomorrow! And my return will be sped up as well. Thanks to the rep for doing a great job! She deserves a raise! Or at least a token of appreciation of some sort...take her out to lunch? Sincerely, Beth T. |  | ~ Beth T., October 12 2009
