    I orginally bought the OluKai Hiapo leather sandal and it was amazing. No other sandal fits like these. This new Mea Ola is no different. Killer design and super comfortable. Fit was a little snug out of the box but within an hour they fit like a glove. Love them!

    As others have stated about other styles by OluKai, order a size larger than needed. I wear a size 14, ordered a 15, and it’s a perfect fit. By perfect I am not only talking about the size, but the leather and quality of the Mea Ola by OluKai is amazing. The look is unique and they feel great wrapped around your feet! Can’t wait to wear them out and about! No need to mention this, but Zappos in the dictionary means: fast delivery, quality, and you get what you order every time! Thanks again Zappos!

    These are solid sandals. Probably the best I've ever had. They are heavy and with a lot of attention to detail with the little metal studs. Almost shoes really. I'd buy them again. You actually have to break them in before they get comfortable.

    Excellent sandal. Very well made and great attention to detail. They run true to size and have great arch support. They take a day or so to break in but are very comfortable. My only complaint is that the footbed is somewhat slick and your foot can slip a little. I anticipate this may just be because they are new. Overall a great sandal.

    These sandals are expensive but very comfortable and very good looking. Takes about 1 week to get broken in. Also they run big so if you are a 10.5 order the 10 and you will be fine.

    I was first introduced to OluKai sandals from a friend of mine. Although the sandals are rather expensive, there isn't any part of a OluKai sandal that isn't worth it. These sandals boast an edgy, stylish appearance and for people like myself that need great arch support (which is tough to find in a sandal) these sandals are worth the cost. I will not wear anything else.

    This is my 3rd pair of OluKai sandals. Fit is true to size; footbed extremely comfortable with great support and surface is like leathery butter. Workmansip is excellent and for a standard thong type sandal, with single attached strap, I don\'t think you could find a better shoe.

    I love these all leather sandals. True, they are expensive, but they are so extremely comfortable and fit so well on my feet. I found them in a store in Naples tried them on and had to have them. Durable, well made, and very nice looking too!

    It took me awhile before pulling the trigger to buy this product at this price. But, you only live once! Leather does take three days of hard wear to break in. It almost has become sloppy though. There really isn't any arch support in a sandal, but this is adequate. Great looking sandal. You do pay for shipping. It's built into the price. I know that because the price was left on the other and I also did comparison shopping. Saw an expose on Zappos. They really treat their employee's well which I'll support! Great company!

    from Art City, Wisconsin

    I wear flip flops a lot, and I usually wear Teva's, but I go through them so quickly, and I wanted something a bit more "professional" or something. Anyway, I bought the Mea Ola's because I loved the laser engraved octopus. The size seems true. I wear a 10.5 and got the 10, works well. They do leave a bit of residue on your feet, which helps make a squeaking sound when you walk. That's my only complaint. They took a minute to get used to, they are heavier than my Teva's. Built really nice, with attention to detail. Overall, I am glad that I went above and beyond my normal purchase price for flip flops. I feel like these will last and are of good quality. Also, made in Hawaii!

    Living in FL you need a good pair of sandals, maybe two. These are some higher quality sandals, although still made in China, they come with a year warranty. They fit a size smaller then you might fit in shoes, so size up, even still they are a bit tight, but break in quickly. Don't get them wet, water and leather sandals don't mix.

    Beautiful shoe made with very high quality material. Comfortable and extremely stylish, one of only 3 pair of sandals the wife lets me wear as dress shoes. Looks amazing with shorts and with a nice linen suit. Highly recommended even with the high price. Well worth the money.
