Customer Reviews OluKai Ohana

They fit perfect. Only thing I don't like is the leather is slippery V/C the non leather pair I had before. Feels like I need to use my toes to keep them on while walking.

This was a great flip-flop while it lasted. I purchased them in May, and now I'm back again four months later to replace these or choose something else. The ones I have now are worn out. Seriously! I'm returning them to the manufacturer to see if anything can be done.

Love Olukai sandals, but have had a problem with the last two pair of black synthetic Ohana's. Had a pair of Ohana's in the dark java color, and wore them constantly for 4 years without wearing out the foot bed (the bottoms wore through first), but have worn through my last two pairs of the black one's in 6 months on the balls of my feet. Zappos replaced my first pair, but i'm stuck with the second. That said, i'll probably give the leather one's a try since i like the brand so much.

Very comfortable! Expect that they will last about 1 year. The soles and tops are very strong but the toe strap it the weak point. If that were not the case I would have given 5 stars...

I'm a plus size woman with Plantar Fasciitis. Was looking for a wide, comfortable, cushioned and supportive sandal. I expected more of a substantial sole offering. Barely wide enough for me, I'd tried the women's in a size 11 and chose the mens. Sadly, I lost its partner. So, what short time I wore it, I still wanted more. I will try again. Did expect more cushioning, support. Not sure what to try now.

They are very comfortable. I switched to wearing these from my Rainbows which offered very little arch support. These offer phenomenal support. My few complaints are these: my Rainbows never smelled bad, ever. I owned and wore them for 10 years and not a single pair has ever smelled bad or needed to be washed. These, however, smelled like feet about one week after I started using them. I think it's because the footbed on these is foam and they absorb the sweat and the rainbows are leather so it dries away. Also, they are nowhere near true-to size. I would say 1.5 sizes too big. I seriously don't know how anyone can say these are true to size. I am normally a 10.5 in everything else I wear (sandals, running shoes, dress shoes, etc), and for these I had to get a 9.

I wear flip flops 12 months out of the year. I had never heard of these until a friend had lost a job and started working at a high end retail shoe store. As much as I wear flip flops, I thought I would give them a shot. Please don't get me wrong when I say this but these haven't been any better than any of my other flip flops that I paid 50% less for. They've not lasted any longer than any other pair I've had and they haven't been any more comfortable than any other pair I've owned. Again, I wear these type of shoes 12 months out of the year and I only feel that I should write this about them so someone else doesn't over pay for a flip flop like I did. I like a good shoe just like anyone else, but let's be honest. It's not worth it!

I was really excited to receive these sandals after seeing them on social media and reading the reviews. The actual sandals fell short for me though. I wear 11 in every shoe I buy but the 11 in the sandal was too small. The width was too tight and the length was too short so that my foot hung off the back of the sandal and the arch was improperly positioned under my foot. So I ordered a 12. The fit was much better and they were definitely more comfortable but the width was a little loose for my liking. I took them on my vacation and wore them every day to and from the pool. They were fine when dry but when they get wet they squeak horribly because of the solid rubber sole. Also, after a week of wearing to and from the pool every day I developed sore where the strap rubbed against the inside of my foot when wet. All in all they are ok sandals and I believe they will last a long time with the solid rubber sole but I wouldn't buy them again and I definitely don't see myself wearing them everywhere like some reviewers have said they do. I think I will end up using them more when I'm running short errands or walking around the neighborhood but I don't think I will use them around the pool again. I'll stick with my cheap Sketchers for that.

I found them to be heavy and unwieldy to walk in so I returned them.

top contact surface is sticky- foot does not slide in. While wearing the contact material is hot and uncomfortable....not a pleasant feeling. Would not buy these again

width was perfect, arch was perfect, but the length was just a hair too short. my heels hung over the end....not working...ordering a new pair

I have a fairly narrow foot. I went up an entire size on this sandal, and it was still way too small.

I bought these using a Zappos reward as a discount, so for that reason only, I did not return them. I wish I had returned them. These sandals are very uncomfortable, having minimal arch support, and little cushioning. Oddly, and despite the positive reviews, I found them to offer little support. I have a pair of cheap Crocs sandals that are far more comfortable, and offer better support, so i’m at a loss as to why people think this is quality footwear. If you examine them, you will notice that the footbed is very thin and hard. These are slightly modified flip flops, and are barely more comfortable than Havaianas, if you’ve ever tortured your body by wearing those. Literally, these sandals caused me to have excruciating lower back pain, and earned me a trip to the chiropractor. Beware- sandals in general are terrible for your feet, but hard, thin, flip flops with minimal arch support are really bad for your hips and lower back. Ask any podiatrist or chiropractor, and they will warn you. I sincerely regret not returning these, as I will likely just throw them away. I doubt I will ever shop at Zappos again. This is why you should buy your shoes in a brick and mortar store.

I was so disappointed! I have been waiting to replace a pair of sandals I had for a few years and I couldn't wait to get the Ohanas. I wore them as soon I as got them and within an hour I started to get a rash from the synthetic strap on the top of my foot. I tried for days to try and work through it as they are comfortable otherwise, but the strap has got to go! I washed them hoping it might be a chemical they used, but it would just get worse and worse. I had to finally stop wearing them. If you have sensitive skin, and I have never had any issue like this in the past, I highly suggest looking at the leather upper instead of the synthetic strap.

made in China?! run smaller that my first ever pair that were made in US when did this company sell out for profit arrrg :{

Disappointed! This is my 3rd pair of these sandals and they have switched from leather soles to something synthetic. Just not worth the money any more. Time to find a new brand.

I got these OluKai at the end of last summer and didn't wear them much then. I pulled them out last month and started wearing them periodically. It was after 3 days of wear that I noticed a blister on the top of my foot, caused by the strap rubbing. I put them up for a week and let it heal. But, when I tried them again (after trying to loosen up the strap a bit), the exact same thing happened except this time the strap broke the skin with the rubbing. Again, I put them up and let the sore heal. Third time was not a charm - I worked with the strap a lot but it still rubbed in that exact same spot and this time it started to bleed. So, I guess these will go to charity and maybe someone else can wear them. It's a shame these sandals did that. I wonder if was just a manufacturing defect, because none of my other sandals/flip-flops rub at all. These feel good on the feet (except for the rubbing) and give very good support. They look real nice, but you can't be stylish if you are bleeding. I see a few other reviewers had the same problem, so it must be something about these particular sandals. Sad for a pretty pricey pair of flip-flops.

I love the style and they're probably the most comfortable sandals I've ever owned. The problem is, they don't last. Mine fell apart in about 4 months. The last 2 pair of Reefs I owned both lasted 2 years, and even then, I just wore tread out. They were still wearable (though they were never as comfortable). But this pair, the top and bottom is separating at 3 places on one of the sandals and it's now unwearable. Their warranty is supposed to cover damage like mine for up to a year, but their warranty page says to e-mail them with pictures of the damage. I did this, but despite many e-mails (and even trying different addresses), I can't get a response. I also posted a review on the product in their own store hoping I might get a reply there (as I see happens on some of their reviews) but my review didn't even get published. Very disappointing.

My fiance loves these sandals but the foot bed wore out after only 9 months. They then had a terrible squeak when he walked. Contacted the manufacture and they do not warranty the foot bed. We ended up throwing them away. This is the second pair that has done this. The first pair took 2 years to wear out which we thought was a little quick but he decided to try another pair. I think we will look for another brand. It's too bad because they are comfortable. Just too expensive to buy every 9 months.

I really wanted to like the Ohana sandal after having had three pairs of Rainbows in three years. I looked at pretty much every sandal on the market since I wear mine for at least half of the year. The Ohana seemed like a great choice because of the rugged outsole and immediate comfort once I put it on. I was hesitant to go for the foam sole as I was used to the full grain leather and liked the way it felt, but I couldn't justify spending the extra money for the leather version. I left with the foam version and hoped for the best. I was initially happy with them for the first week after use, though I did notice the foam retained and created a lot more heat then my previous leather sandals. Then soon after I noticed the foam dirtying and starting to smell after every use. I never had this kind of problem with my previous sandals. I've only had them for about a month and I am regretting my choice. I could see these being a decent choice if you plan to only wear them occasionally, but as for an everyday option I would not recommend them. Oh and another thing I noticed is that when walking, the front end of the sandal will catch the ground and fold under the sandal. I guess this may be a combination of me not picking up my feet enough and it being a little long in the front. I thought it may have been the sizing at first but the fit at my heel was perfect.

I would recommend wearing this around the house for a long time before deciding to keep them. I did, and the shoes started cutting into the tops of my feet where the seams are. Very painful, and I couldn't recommend them because of that.

I have been wearing Olukai slippers for a few years now, they used to be great slippers but something has changed, the footbed on the pair I just purchased began to wear out in a couple weeks, they are very comfortable but for the price I would expect them to last longer.

These flip-flops were so comfortable right out of the box, I really wanted to keep them. But I could not. Unfortunately, the right shoe strap left black marks on the top of my foot. Zappos having awesome customer service provided a second pair the next day. Once again the right shoe left black marks across top of my foot. It is very odd that only the right foot had the problem, and on two separate pairs. Both pairs are being returned, too bad. They are very comfortable. But the wearing off of black color from inside strap was annoying.

TBH, I don’t like these sandals. The style is good, the feel is good, but the overall comfort is terrible. There is no cushion and the feel is flat. Very disappointed in these sandals in terms of price and comfort, and would definitely not recommend them or purchase them again.
