I recently ordered this pair of sandals and I can't beginning to explain my disappointment. I have been an avid supporter of OluKai for many of years, and while some people can't imagine paying a lot for a pair of filp flops I've always been able to justify it with the quality of the product and the knowledge that I will get years out of a pair. Unfortunately that is not the case with my most recent purchase. They are poorly made with poor quality products, not what I expect from OluKai. They are already starting to fall apart. I will be surprised if they make it through the month, let alone 1 summer. If you have previously owned OluKai and have a certain standard which you expect as I do, do not order these shoes. You will be disappointed.

I live on Maui and love my OluKai slippers, they are so comfortable with the arch support you can wear them all day.

Very comfortable with great arch support! And stylish too! Normally I'm an 8 1/2; ordered a 9 and they fit great!

I have found the perfect flips! Comfortable right out of the box; wore for 8 hours just after purchase, so comfortable and supportive. More feminine than Ohana because of narrow straps.

The pewter color is even prettier in person; it looks almost pink in the photo, but just a nice warm bronze when it came. Happy!

I bought a pair of these as my formal flip-flops almost 10 years ago. I wear them every day now for most of the day. After 10 years of wear, the soles are starting to wear out. I have worn all kinds of flip-flops over the last 40 years, and OluKai is the only brand that I will even consider.

Very attractive shoes but not particularly remarkable arch support. I'm disappointed.

I just love OluKai sandals -- great styles, nice materials, and the only decent looking sandals I've found that have a supportive foot bed. The Kumu W also has a nice sole with some traction, which is just perfect for daily wear in the summer!

Hands down, OluKai is my favorite sandal! They are amazingly comfortable. The metallic adds some fun. Love these! I'd wear them all year if I lived in a warmer climate.

I bought my husband his first pair last year and he loved them. He needed something with support. After getting his first pair he got me a pair. We will never buy any other sandal! They use great materials and have great craftsmanship; doesn't compare to anyone else! Love my sandals!

Comfortable once broken in! Had to wear and get wet. Now they are amazing! Thought I would have to send back because the toe strap just felt too short and rubbed the top of my foot. Once they were wet they stretched out and now they fit like a glove! Get compliments on the copper color.

I wore these shoes to Washington D.C. in 100 degree weather on all day indoor/outdoor walking tours. The first night it was pouring rain with scary lightning and we had to run with our 5th graders to the bus. Shoes were soaked but I kept my footing and was not freezing on the bus because I dried off my feet and shoes with my scarf. Everyone else had cold squeaky shoes. We walked and stood for most of the day and evening for 6 days. The heat was miserable and some people got heat stroke, but my OluKai’s kept my plantar fasci. and bone spur happy. People who were wearing tennis shoes asked me over and over where I got my flip flops because I kept giving people my seat. These shoes are amazing with just the right amount of arch support and cushioning. My feet do slide around a little when walking around my house probably because they took such a beating in D.C. I think they are slick on the footbed from being worn wet and continuously for a week. They are not overly glamorous, but my hot, sweaty, aching feet didn't care.

I had been looking for a new summer sandal that I could wear with many different types of outfits. After reading other reviews decided on these. I have been wearing them several weeks now and absolutely LOVE them! They are true to size, and extremely comfortable for all day wear. And I must say that Zappos has amazing customer service. I would definitely recommend these sandals to others.

Wish they had narrow but nice shoe -
Hoped the medium would fit narrow feet but still a little too big, and had already worn them. But nice-looking and goes with everything, so I'm glad I'm keeping them. Leather footbed wears well.

Looks are deceiving!
This sandal is the best for anyone with problem feet or even a spinal injury, as I have. Even though they don't appear padded the support is in just the right place for comfort! I am able to stay on my feet much longer without back fatigue. I love the style and plan to get a pair in black next. Put this together with Zappos wonderful customer service, and it's a win-win!

Best Flip Flop Ever -
These are the best flip flop type shoe I have ever worn. I usually cannot wear this type shoe over a couple of hours. I can wear these all day for extensive walking. The arch support is wonderful. If you are not used to wearing shoes with arch support I don't suggest you wear them all day the first time or you may bruise your foot. I bought a pair for my granddaughter over a year ago and they immediately became her favorite shoes. She continues to wear them and say how comfortable they are, so I decided to give them a try. I will definitely buy more of these in different colors. A quality shoe with the support your feet need, and they look good!!

I wear a women's size 9 shoe. I had a men's size 8 last year that the dog tore up. I loved that shoe so much, as did the dog! I ordered a women's 9 this time and it does not fit my foot proportionally as well as the mens size did. The arch is slightly too far back or my foot won't slide into the sandal as far as it should so there is more toe left on the shoe than I like and I feel a little like I am sliding backwards out of them. I am not sure a size down would help either as that would constrict my ability to slide into the shoe even further. I have a high arch and this is part of the problem. So for me, I like this shoe but I would order the men’s size next time for a proportionally roomier fit.

BEST FLIP FLOP OUT THERE -
I have been wearing these for two seasons now and LOVE them. The webbing toe post is SO COMFORTABLE and the arch support is amazing for a flip flop. Just one request....Please make these in a silver or pewter color.

Love these flips! They do take a day or two of breaking in, but worth it. I have flips in many shades of brown and black, so I ventured out with something a little more fun in the Mica color. If you want something fun or a flip with a dressy flair, go metallic!

Very comfortable. I have a bone spur on my right heel & this sandal is the best arch support for my pain issue.

Was looking for a good flip flop that could stand up to a day out and still be comfortable around the house. Great shoe, great comfort, great look.

Awesome for Flip Flop wearers -
Love these shoes. I live in Las Vegas and wear flip flops nine months out of the year. They are super comfortable - needed a day or two of breaking in for me - but very durable. I wear them every day!! Worth it.

Best flip-flop ever -
Supports like an orthopedic footbed (eg. Dansko) and looks great. Doesn’t tire feet out like cheap flip-flops. Worth the money. I wear a 9 and never an 8, but I needed an 8 in this shoe.

They do not have as much support as my Montrails, but they look soooo good. I wear them with skirts and capris. Comfort and good looks - can't beat that!
