Great flip-flop -
Comfortable sandal/flip-flop, great support. Order a size larger than you normally wear, the toe thing sits back a little more than normal.

After reading the previous reviews, I reluctantly ordered a size 11 in this sandal because I've never worn a size 11 in anything. I always wear a size 10.5 in shoes or sandals, but will wear a size 10 in sandals if they do not come in half sizes. I will say that these sandals do run a half size too small and the size 11 worked perfect for my 10.5 size foot. I also have a narrow foot and these sandals are pretty snug, but very comfortable.

These sandals are exceptionally comfortable from the first time you wear them. Also, the look is classy simple. Highly recommend them.

Very comfy... worth the price??
Really nice rubber based footbed providing comfort right out of the box. Nice arch support and styling and materials well above average-- especially for this class of shoe. Whether or not it's worth the price, which seems to be nearly double for others I have owned is your choice to make. I was tempted to return but kept them primarily to avoid hassle factor but several weeks later really do enjoy the shoe. Order a full size larger than usual. I wear a size 10 and ordered size 11 and it was perfect.

These are great sandals! They definitely run a size (maybe more) smaller. I finally got the size after the 3rd try. Thank goodness for Zappos superb return/shipping policy. I won't buy from anyone else!

Money is not an object - best flop hands down -
I would pay $200 for these flops - I have been a Chaco guy for many years - I finally broke down and paid the $100 for the OluKai Hiapo - lemme tell you after about a week of daily wear to break them in - they fit like a glove and in a comparison test with my Chaco’s (a great flop) these OluKai’s absolutely blow away the Chaco’s - I took the advice of many of the other reviews and ordered a full size larger (I wear 11 and ordered 12) and they fit like a glove - take the OluKai plunge - you'll be thanking me for years.

These sandals are the best sandals I have ever owned. They are such nice quality that they can be worn out at night with jeans and a dress up shirt. They last a along time and are very comfortable.
As far as I am concerned, until something new comes on the market, OluKai really has done something fantastic.

Finally!
The comfort is outstanding but the best part of this flop is the fit. All feet are not created equal and for me one foot is a little smaller than other so I'm always a size in between. The Hiapo does not have the slop that others do. Can be a dresser look for evening at the resort as well as beach shoe. Classic/cool blended into one. You won't be disappointed.

Great sandal -
Definitely order one size larger than you normally wear. They take a few days to break in, but after that they are the best sandals I have owned.

Excellent sandal -
Fits my foot perfectly, better than any other sandal I have ever had. I would advise getting half a size bigger than usual, I did so and the sandal was still a bit tight at the front, bug after it is broken in it’s a snug fit. Overall, great comfort and look.

Worth the price -
These shoes are super comfortable and have great arch support. I think they would have lasted me forever but my dog chewed one up after about 3 weeks. Ahhh!! I loved them so much I am ordering another pair. The next pair I will be sure to put away.

My feet went on vacation -
I use to wear a different leather sandal for years and than I met my new best friends. These shoes have a great arch which many cool sandals do not have. I want them in every color. I bought them for friends and family women’s runs perfect men’s a little small. Enjoy life. Walk in good shoes.

Slippers for walking -
Great fit in wet, tropical, and ocean walking. Comfortable as soon as I put them on. No break-in necessary. For flat feet - these slippers have excellent arch support even after 4-5 miles of walking

Excellent Sandals -
Just got my sandals--unbelievable comfort! Slightly higher arch than most other flip flop style but that makes them more supportive and the heel cup cradles your rear foot. I love them. I will probably order another style. They do run a full size small so keep that in mind when ordering. I normally wear a 12 but read the other reviews and got a 13 and they fit perfect!

Outstanding flip-flop -
I bought these for my son, who wears flip-flops year-round (even though he lives in San Francisco). He absolutely loves them--great arch support, comfortable, and very sturdy, he says. I have the women's version and agree completely.

Sizing -
They seem like very high quality flip-flops, but I have to wait and see if the next size up will be careful in sizing on these. I received these and they were very small. I compared them to other thongs I own at the same size and they were 3/4" shorter and 1/2" narrower.

Great flip flop -
Very nice shoe...I have all three colors. Quality is superior (at least for the 6-8 months I've had them), comfort is great and the look is unique...kinda classy (dress up/down). Comfortable right out of box, but do run a bit short on sizing...order up.

Olukai -
Great Sandal, especially after treating the leather with mink oil! The oil made the leather soft and very comfortable! First time buyer from Zappos and was very impressed with their service.

Nice flops!
Great comfort for a flip flop. Order a half size larger than you normally wear. Takes some getting used to if you are knew to flops. Nice looking pair of flops.

Great Sandal, tough to break in -
I like my sandals, but the cross strap is a bit tight and the break-in period was a little rough. I really do like the look though and the great arch support.

Break'em in -
Overall a great, interesting pair of flops. They need to be broken in as when I first put them on I though "yeeeesch". Cool patterns though and I just hope they last long. Kind of expensive for MIC. My size 9.5-10 foot takes up the entire footbed.

Excellent -
I haven't worn thongs in years, so these took some getting used to. The shoe looks great, has good arch support. They do run a little small, I wear a 12 or 13 and in this case, the 13 fit. Unbelievably good service from Zappos. The shoes arrived the next day!

Best Flip Ever -
I was looking for a pair of slippers that would have good arch support because I have Plantars Fasciitis, not a severe case, but none the less PF. I wear insoles on all my shoes now. That being known, I searched for flips w/ arch support on Google, and OluKai's came up. I've been buying on Zappos for some time and got these here.
After about a two week break in period, OluKai's have turned out to be a great pair of flips! I got some irritation from the top strap at first, but after stretching them out a bit (just by wearing them), they feel great! I love the look of them! I feel like I have the "end all" in flip flops, and can get rid of all the non- arch support flips in the closet!!!
If you need decent arch support, and want a long lasting pair of summer shoes... BUY THESE!!!
