I got my flippy floppies and couldn't be happier. They were brand new and even had that new flippy floppy smell, unlike my other ones which smell like dog crap, because my neighbor refuses to pick up after her dogs. The shipping was super fast! If I had more feet, I would get another pair.

Very comfortable but too loose. It feels like they would energize feet, but also would fall off in short order.

Great shoes. Felt fine out of box, but really felt good after a week. I would buy another pair tomorrow if they were lost. Strongly recommend.

Amazingly awesome on a boat! I've been fishing all over, just got back from Tamarindo, Costa Rica and these babies are outstanding. Not a better slip resistant shoe out there. I ordered a second spare pair and so did a couple of my friends. Great comfort and very quick drying and would recommend to everyone! It may be almost a full size smaller than marked but I'm going to put half. Usually wear a 12, ordered the perfect fitting 13.
Brands I'd also recommend: None..this is the flipflop for you

Comfortable and seemingly durable thus far, these are a good quality, well made flip flop. And they look pretty sharp, too. Only a few issues with them: (1) Straps are a hair too loose for my liking. (2) They have almost too much arch support for those of us with normal arches and my feet get a bit sore after a full day of wearing them. (3) They have an odd smell since new and it doesn't go away. I've never had this problem with other brands like Reef, etc. Not sure if there is something in the foam they're using for the footbed or what it is, but the smell has become really obnoxious to me. I can actually smell them from the floor as I type this. Thinking about returning them only because of the smell -- it's that bad.

Straps were way too loose and I have a wide foot, imagine my disappointment. I'm still hoping OluKai will bring back Kekai, by far the best one made.

I ordered three different flipflops and ended up keeping these. They have good arch support and have a fairly durable sole, both of which were key for me. I had the Mush flipflops before and I loved how they felt but the soles became too thin after just two months. The OluKai Kohola are a bit heavier (not too bad) but much sturdier and really good for walking a lot such as on vacation. Also, I have wide feet so I wear a 12 in some shoes and a 13 in others. I ordered a 13 in these but I could have gone with the 12. They're relatively wide, which is good for me.

Bought these for my husband for Hawaii. They were wonderful. Great in wet areas, grippy & the channels in the footbed allow water to flow off. And they dry quickly too. No break-in period! He loves them.

Very comfortable fit once broken in. Had a very slight calsis but I think it makes for a better fit. Only used for three weeks.

This is my second pair of Olukai and they do not disappoint. Bought for more active use (my other pair have leather straps), they did equally as well wet as they did dry. They did not seem to stretch and stayed comfortable throughout. Very impressed with the brand, comfort, and quality. Fit is true to my size and they accommodate a wide foot.

Very roomy, good arch support, soft footbed. The footbed squeaks a little because of the waterproof material. The leather piece in the center chafes a little. This shoe is so comfortable that I will just have to get over the squeaking, and the chafing will hopefully pass.

This makes the fifth pair of OluKai sandals I've purchased, all from Zappos! I've purchased some of the most expensive as well as the least costly. No matter the price, their products are consistently well made and comfortable. I know that comfort, fit and style are always important and OluKais always get high marks for all of these. But there are other factors too. I have terrible feet -- flat as a pancake and I've had two surgeries on both feet within the last few years. Except for when shoes are a must, I'm in a pair of OluKais. Why? They have just enough support to minimize my pain from flat feet. And enough style to let me get by with wearing a dressy pair almost anywhere, which lets me keep my feet well aired. This pair is great to wear in or near water which is why I bought them.

I have been a loyal customer of Olukai for many years but unfortunately the quality of their product has decreased greatly along with the increased price. The last pair of Kohola sandals came apart at the toe on both left and right. They have also not worn as well as past products. I ordered these in June and already they are worn out and coming apart! Previous pairs had lasted a couple of seasons.

I sent these to my brother for his birthday. He put them on when they arrived and has been wearing them ever since. They are very comfortable, and have not stretched out. Superior product and exceptional service. Thanks Zappos!

I've bought this brand and style before, but Olukai changed the styling a little bit. Before the straps used to be a solid piece of material, not the straps are pieced together with a more flexible piece of fabric and the areas that straddle your foot. I'm sure they did this because the previous model had a large break-in period to get the straps to fit. These new straps fit well from the start, however, they have stretched out a bit too much and now the shoes feel like they don't fit me anymore. I'm perplexed because the sole of the shoe is perfect size, so I can't go down a size at all. I love these sandals, but I think Olukai needs to go back to the drawing board on this design again.
