I have been a faithful wearer of thong style flip flops since the mid 1980's. These are quite simply the best and most comfortable I have ever owned. The strap that goes between your toes didn't even cause any friction or blisters the first time I wore them for an extended period. I highly recommend.

My husband loves these flip flops. This is his 2nd pair. They mold to his feet, they last, He says they are worth every penny! Highly recommend.

The most comfortable pair of sandals I have ever owned. Save yourself some time and order a size larger as they do run one size small.

Typical OluKai perfection. Super comfortable for my feet with lots of arch support. Seem to be holding up well.

This is my 8th pair of Olu Kai's. Perfect shoe in every way; BTW, I'm trading off Ohana's with Lomi's every other day and still have out of print Kekai which are poolside and what I wear at Galveston Island. Great flip flop shoe. The best I ever wore!

Don't be put off by the high price of these flip flops. They are worth every penny and will easily last you a full year with heavy use. I used to buy three pair of Reefs a year and now I just buy one pair of OluKai's and I save money! They are a bargain if you look at them that way. Besides the value of these, they are the most comfortable flip flop you will ever put on your feet. I wouldn't want to wear anything else.

Because of the price I was a little hesitant but here in south Texas I wear flip flops over half the year so the price is justified. Not only for that fact but also for the fact that these flops are extremely comfortable right out of the box. The foot bed is perfect as well as the arch support. These are the best flops that I have ever owned.

I have search the planet looking for quality flip flops. I have purchased countless flops, but nothing holds up over time. These Ohana's cost more than most, but they are perfect in every way. The anti-microbial footbed actually works. You can get them wet and they dry very quickly; they don't lose their cushioning; the material that goes between your big toe is extra comfortable; they look fantastic; they grip wet surfaces well; they don't leave marks on floors; they are true to size...I could go on and on. They are perfect.
I'd also recommend:
None. These are the best.

I tried Chaco, Sole, and Olukai. I have low back pain, and have found that walking on cheap flips with no support adds to that problem. I didn't want to give up flip flops altogether, so I looked for something with arch support. Of the three, Chaco probably had the best support, but the surface on which your foot rests is a bit rough and irritated me. Plus, the toe strap was terribly uncomfortable - too wide, and too short, so it had to go back. The Sole sport is the best of the bunch - great heel cup, very comfortable toe strap, ample arch support (I'd say Moderate, to keep with Zappos terms). But this is an Olukai review, so I'll concentrate on these. Arch support is about like the Sole, maybe a hair better. Definitely more comfortable than my old Banana Jacks, which I loved the look of but were destroying killing my feet and back. They also have a wetsuit-like neoprene surface under your foot, for great traction. These will probably be my go-to pool/beach flip flops for quite a while. My only complaint about this flip is that the stitching under just one of the straps going across my foot is a bit rough. It feels like when you cut a tag out of a shirt and can't find the other half, until later when it pokes you. It's a nuisance, but unfortunately I didn't discover it until about three days of wearing these outside - too late to return them. I may have just gotten a bad batch, but if you buy these, watch out for that before you wear them outdoors! Overall I still recommend this shoe. I also have some big toe joint pain occasionally, and this and the Sole really help reduce that compared with cheap flip flops.

Great, well made shoe. My husband didn't think spending money on flip flops would be worth it but he does now.

Pros: Very stylish and comfortable sandal, well worth the price. I was very pleased with these and wore them daily for almost a year. They are durable, easy to wash, and withstand all sorts of conditions. Very impressive.
Cons: The smell. I don't know what these are made out of, but I had to finally throw them away because the stench cannot be contained. They are waterproof so it is easy to clean them off. However, they have to be cleaned off every single day. It's just too much. They have a horrible lingering putrid odor that is reminiscent of a landscape of burning carcasses. I have to say, I do not have any odor in my other shoes or socks. I have a lifetime of odorless feet, and for the first time, I am faced with a smell that is so rotten that a single sniff would turn away Satan's army of beasts. Fun experiment for the price, to try and convince myself that these are OK and that somehow the smell is acceptable. Just keep washing them right? I have never in my life had flip flops, sandals, socks, shoes, boots, or bare feet that smelled like dead skin peeling off of festering roadkill. When babies cry at night, it's because of the odor emanating from these flip flops. If you are going to buy them, which I will say, they look fantastic, they are durable, and very comfortable, you must prepare yourself for the deluge of outright olfactory assault. If you choose to purchase these, you will look great, and may God be by your side to protect your senses.

Overall, they are a great pair of sandals. Like most, though, they do have to be broken in. I got one beauty of a blister on top of my foot the first time out... they're great now though.

I've owned 4 pair of these, now. It's hard to find flip flops in a size 16, and while these are expensive, the first pair I bought lasted almost 3 years of 4-5 days a week wearing. With longevity like that, what's this price for a pair of shoes, right? Well, pair number 2 only lasted a year and a half, pair number 3 broke 3 weeks in (replaced by Zappos, you rock) and pair number 4 is a year old, and on its last leg; with a tearing strap that gets worse each time I wear it. The point of all this is that when I first found them, I was completely on board. They've gotten worse, and more cheaply made with each pair I've gotten, though, and I'm in the process of finding a new flip flop for my feet to call home. Anyways, take this for what you will.

Initially thought it was very comfortable, but after wearing a few hours, the strap started to rub the top of my foot. A sore was forming. Had to stop wearing. Will try again. I'm not anticipating a difference. No break-in should be necessary.

These flip-flops are absolutely horrible. They are the worst flip-flops that we have ever owned in our life. AT FIRST, they feel very comfortable because the bottoms are so comfy. But then, after you wear them for a few hours, you realize that the straps on top are DIGGING INTO YOUR FLESH LIKE LITTLE DAGGERS! And they start CUTTING INTO THE TOPS OF YOUR FEET! We have had bloody scabs on the tops of our feet for WEEKS because of these terrible flip-flops!! We finally found a different brand of flip-flops (Reef Mens Voyage Lux) which are A MILLION TIMES better than these flip-flops. Those Reef flip-flops are actually comfortable right out of the box, and DON'T DIG INTO YOUR FLESH!

I have literally ordered SEVEN pairs of these. They are the most comfortable sandals anywhere. I am sad when I am not wearing them. The arch support is tremendous. I come on my feet all day and never think about my feet.

Best flip flops I’ve ever owned. Amazing quality and great arch support. They need a little time to break them in. Perfect fit without any wiggle room.

The arch support is quite pronounced on this pair. It felt a little akward at first but now it feels normal. I really like the thickness of the sole and the overall sturdiness. Would buy again.

I normally hate this style of flip flop as I can’t stand having anything between my toes. Unfortunately, my normal OluKai was not available and my old paid was on life support so I rolled the dice on these. I’m glad I did as nothing beats the comfort and arch support of Olukai’s. It has even gotten me to ignore that I have a strap between my big toes.

These are my second pair of this style OluKai's and I love them. Quite comfortable and no issues with traction or smells plus they handle being wet really well. No slipping in the foot bed nor from the soles. Look great and stand up well, it took several years to wear through the soles of my first pair and they're still probably repairable if I'm being honest but I'm excited for the new pair and color

I like these and my second pair. Moderate support but very comfortable. Good for moist areas, like yard or washing the motorcycle.

Delivered on time and I should have ordered these When remote work became a reality. Since then, I have been walking around all day - barefoot. Yes, it was comfortable but clearly, not so good for my feet. I am now wearing these sandals all day long now and already (after less than 2 weeks) I am noticing a difference. Durable, comfortable, and looking pretty good, they are my constant companions!
