Unsurpassed Quality - Thank you OluKai for producing the most comfortable shoes in existence. I wear my Makaus or Maolis 7 days a week. Comfortable is an understatement and superior arch support! The Zappos Customer Service team also rates superior in customer service and selection!

WOW - I ordered these OluKai's in a size 10 which I normally wear. They came in two days and did not fit. I called Zappos and they said no problem print shipping label and send them back for free. I received a size 11 the very next day! Talk about customer service, Zappos is amazing! They are like Ninja's, I live 1,000 miles away from the Zappos warehouse and they were on my front door step when I got home from work. The 11's fit like a glove and I can't wait to try them out in Bora Bora. Zappos you rock!

Bought these for my husband - his first pair of flip flops. He protested at first, but he has finally admitted that these shoes are wonderful! The only bad thing is that he was between a 13 and 14. He chose the bigger size. Now after wearing them, they have loosened a bit. I think the 13 would have been a better choice. He loves the blue/brown color and now wears the shoes everywhere.

Simply the best - I have tried most every flip flop available and these are absolutely the best. They have great arch support and you can wear them all day without foot fatigue.

Great sandals, a bit on the small side... They look and feel GREAT! My only complaint... there appears to be extra room in the front, and a lack of room in the heel. It just seems that the extra room could have been adjusted to give a smidge more in the back, that’s all. I really love them though. No complaints.

Flip flop with arch support - Only had these a short time, but they're breaking in well - polishing the leather on the footbed nicely! More elegant than my old Teva's. Will they last 4 years like the Teva's? I'll revise my review if they fall apart too soon; I only wear them around the house. The new (lighter sole) version of the Teva has lost its arch support - wouldn't work for me anymore. Also tried Chaco's, which proved totally inadequate for my foot problem.

I wear Merrell boots, with custom orthotics.

Great flip-flop (slipper) took a couple days to break in. Now I use them everyday. Wish I could wear them to work. Very comfortable.

Great Sandal - This sandal is made with top quality leather and the workmanship is outstanding. They are very comfortable and a true to size fit. Soft uppers and the bottoms are cushy, which really helps with my heel spur. I would recommend this sandal to everyone. Good price too.

I LOVE THESE! If you are looking for a sturdy yet comfortable summer shoe, look no further. I have had these for about 3 weeks now. The first few days, they rubbed the tops of my feet. I put them away for a couple days, and when I put them back on, they felt like butter. They really are comfy. I don't think you could be unhappy with this purchase.

Great sandals - Best pair of sandals I've ever owned. I have tried several others and I have had to abandon them due to lower back pain. I have worn the OluKai Makau sandals since the day they arrived. They're the most comfortable pair I have ever owned. I highly recommend them.

Amazing - I have been a loyal Reef wearer for the past 15 years and this is only the second time I have tried another sandal and I have to say WOW. These not only look great, but are unbelievably comfortable. Also, I have flat feet and the arch support is fantastic. Couple all that with the fact that these have some tread as well as being fashionable, these are the perfect sandal.

ONE OF THE BEST FILPS AROUND - I have 6 pairs of various flips (Teva, Chaco), and after buying a pair of OluKai’s a year ago, I wanted another pair in another color. They provide good support. My only issue is that the leather thong on this particular model takes a while to break in.

OluKai sandals - My kids love these shoes. They normally buy Reefs but these are even more comfortable and last longer.

The best flip-flop - Bought 3 different pairs from Zappos. Grew up in Florida and lived in this type of shoe. These Makau's are the best I have ever owned. The Simple and Reef sandals just can't compare from a comfort level. Arch support on these was the best.

Great flip flop - I've had the gamut of flip flops: Reef, Teva, Chaco, Rainbow, Birkenstocks (non-flops). These Olukai’s are my new favorite. Comfortable right out of the box, although the toe strap requires some getting used to. They look good and feel good. Highly recommended. Did run small.

Very Nice - Well made. Good arch support. A bit lighter than some cheaper sandals, but not too heavy. Straps aren't too wide...holds foot in place well.

They were small! We started with a size 10, which is the size that my guy always wears, but the 10 was too small, so was the 11... we are trying a 12 now, wish us luck. Be warned, these shoes fit small.

Cool Sandals - First time I felt comfortable in a "strap between the toes" sandal. They are great, and I guess I will now have to retire my Birkenstocks. The only way they would be better is if it didn't say "Made in China" on them.

Great Flop - Flops are typically clunky shoes. These were not. They fit well, and they stay on my feet. I would recommend them.

They’re great - I generally wear 8.5-9.0 in most shoes. I bought the size nines and they fit perfectly. They're finished very well and feel very comfortable when wearing them.
