I didn't end up keeping these, but I got the Paniolos instead. I just wanted to write a review about my experiences trying several different Olukai shoes. I love them all, but some fit better than others. The Kumu fit me fine, but I normally wear a 7.5 and had to size up to an 8. I pretty much have to do that with all Olukai shoes I have discovered. The 7 was the right length and the straps were fine, but the arch did not hit me in the right spot. It was too far forward. I have discovered that is because I have short toes. So, I kept wanting to push my foot forward, but that hurt between my toes. If you have long toes, you'll probably want to size down if you are in between. If you have short toes, you'll want to size up (unless you have narrow feet, then I'd suggest the Haiku instead). In addition to the Kumu and the Paniolo, I tried the Ohana and Haiku. The Ohana has the highest arch, so if you have a high arch, I'd recommend you try those. The Haiku is narrow, so try that one if you have a narrow foot. Overall, I love all the Olukai shoes. You can't go wrong. The arch support is amazing. You just have to find the right size and style for your feet. Just order several pair from Zappos and try them all. I love the pewter color -- they can be dressed up or down since they are metallic. I plan to purchase them after I've gotten some wear out of my Paniolos.

I guess I have long toes because I love these flip-flops. They are my second pair and the leather foot bed is the best. There is no cracking heels like with the rubber kind.

These are the best! So comfortable. I walked 5 hours through Venice in them and my feet felt great!

I am a big fan of OluKai flip flops and was excited to purchase leather ones. They are just as comfortable and look so very nice with dressier casual wear. They were perfect for Hawaiian evenings out.

These flip flops have excellent arch support. More support than I'm used to (and I have several Naot sandals) but they mellow out after a few wears and are very comfy. The first time I wore these for a walk I got a nasty blister from one of the leather straps rubbing against the side of my foot. I'm happy to report that I stretched the strap a little and they are perfect now. No more chafing. Love the pewter color.

I absolutely love them! They are very comfortable and very true to size. The color goes well with everything. I received them for my birthday from a family I work for and could not have been happier. Zappos, you rock!

I haven't worn flip flops since my childhood because I had too many experiences stubbing my toe and getting blisters. I got these to help deal with the heat and they are the most comfortable summer shoes I own. They have excellent arch support and a soft piece of strong fabric between the toes, making them comfortable for walking. I haven't noticed the color from the leather footbed staining my feet so far, but it is molding a bit to my foot shape which is nice. They are heavier than I like but the thickness of the sole makes walking more comfortable and keeps them from bending back on themselves like a thin sandal can. I wish they had one with a dark, richer brown strap. I got a pair with the neutral brown strap and it's sort of greenish gray which is not my favorite, but it doesn't clash with anything. Overall they are sturdy, comfy and way more attractive than foam flip flops. I hope they last a long time.

These are by far the most comfortable flip flops I have ever had. I'm on my third pair now and will only by these from this point forward. They last forever and are so durable!

I purchased my first pair of these sandals in Honolulu, Hawaii and now I am hooked. Normally I wear a 6½ size, but since these run half a size smaller, the size 7 fits me perfectly. The arch support is fantastic. They are very comfortable. These are expensive, but well worth it!

Love these shoes! The only problem is that I ordered my regular size and they were too small. I was afraid that the next size would be way too big but thought I'd give them a try anyway and they are perfect! Comfortable right out of the box. They get even more comfortable each time I wear them. Very well made. I can see these lasting a very long time. Definitely 5+ stars!

I love these! I bought a second pair in another color. I bought a pair on vacation a few years ago and they have become a little looser over time, but that is with a lot of wear. These are very comfortable and go well with everything.

These are the best flip flops if you have ever had plantar fasciitis. I can live in them all summer. Nike purchased and made better I believe. I have three pairs I switch from all warm months which is March-October where I live!

I own lots of OluKai in the water/rubber style. This is my first in the leather sole. They do take a few wears to break in the leather upper but then feel almost as good at the rubber sole styles. I got the poppy and wear a lot of orange and these look nicer vs. the rubber sole style if I want a bit dressier look.

Very comfortable. I returned them because I decided they were not versatile enough. Went with Clark Privo Nitron for fancy and some water-resist OluKai for casual. These were also pretty pricey for a flip-flop.

I first ordered the Ohana style and I loved them. I ordered that style in brown and have worn them comfortably since the day they arrived. There was no break-in period at all. They provide a lot of support and are very easy to walk in. I wanted something with a little more polish to wear with skirts so I ordered the Kumu. I love the look. It took a few wearings to break them in but now they are very comfortable and I can wear them to shop. I have never worn a flip-flop that offered this much support. The sole gives a lot of traction also.

These flip flops are designed with an arch support and made of quality materials. I am so very pleased with this product.I tried them on at a local shoe store for proper fitting and then ordered them through Zappos. This is a great avenue for purchasing these fine quality shoes!

I just purchased the Pewter color and love these. I have the black and tan already and have been wearing those for two summers; going on three now. The toe post is very soft, comfortable, and durable and the arch support is the best in any flip flop out there.
