Customer Reviews OluKai Ohana

I can't believe it, returning shoes is an almost impossible task. After 25 minutes online I am notified that the label cannot be sent to me by email, but by regular mail.

These worked well for a few months but then started to chafe and cut my skin where the straps touch the top of my foot. They became so painful that I could not use them at all anymore. If you have narrow feet DO NOT purchase these sandals. I believe these (and maybe all Olukais?) are made for people with wider feet. The footbed is quite comfortable but these just did not work for me. I had to return them after some very painful experiences. I live in Hawaii so I wear sandals all the time, so my experience wasn't a matter of me breaking these in or getting my feet used to them. Interestingly these worked better for me in drier climates (Oregon) than they did in Hawaii, so perhaps this was a humidity issue. In any case, they did always feel a bit loose around my narrow feet, so just be aware that these run very wide.

Bought a pair of these in 2014. And for the past eight years they were the greatest flip-flops I’ve ever purchased. Sadly these pair which arrived in time for my trip to Cancun, Tulum, and Cozumel turned out to be a total disaster. They have changed the foam of the uppers and severely cut the tops of my feet during a 3 mile hike. These flip-flops pride themselves on being extremely versatile. But the quality has fallen off severely. Do not purchase these.

I wear 11.5 ordered 13 and they were small

I was really looking forward to trying them after reading so many positive reviews. However, I found them really heavy and not at all comfortable so ended up returning them.

I found these to be heavy and clunky so I returned them.

There is a high arch support in these flip flops...I have flat feet so that just causes pain! They are well made and really nice looking but I had to return because I am looking for a non-arch supporting flip flop.

The strap really cuts into the skin-can’t walk in these for more than a mile. Back to Reefs for me-really disappointing, particularly given the cost.

I am frustrated with this product line I have tried on multiple sandals the left and right shoe is the same overall length. however the right sandal has the components coming out of the sandal base in the wrong area. Every right sandal fits short because it is built differently than the left sandal. it is not my foot it is clear to see it is a manufacture problem. Frustrated. I love these sandals if I could find a pair that the both sandlas are built the same way. QC is horrible.

Hate these...like walking on a board....no cushion at all.

Returned the sandal immediately. The arch support is enormous and the heel cushion is minimal. I felt like I was standing on an inline and about to fall over. Very disappointed.

The size you order needs to be +1 or +2 than your normal shoe size, else you will feel like you are putting on kids shoes. Ridiculous at this price level. Returned and went to Kohl’s and got a pair of comfortable flip flops for $15.

The top strap over the foot feels like stiff, sharp metal. This is my fourth pair of OluKai in eight years. I love them except for this pair of “Ohana” style. After a few hours of wearing these sandals I was left with a very sore foot and a scar that took over a week to go away.

I wore Columbia (Tango Tong) sandals for many years, however, the last time I ordered them, the fit was so poor, I had to send them back for a refund. The OluKai Ohana I just purchased from Zappos reminds me a lot of the Tango Tong sandal, I guess you might say I was looking for a better fitting sandal with the same quality I use to find with the Columbia brand. The OluKai Ohana sandal has a very soft feel with great arch support. The only issue I have, the sandal is not true to size and runs a little small, about a half size too small. I gave these sandals 5 stars because I expect, in time, once they are broke in, they will meet all my expectations. If you are looking to purchase these sandals I would suggest ordering two pair, your true size and a size larger, you can always send one pair back.

Only for the occasional wearer,not worth the money. My wife and I both bought pairs last summer and both our thongs pulled out this summer. I had an all leather pair and wife had a rubber pair. For alot less money,equal comfort and longer life Rainbows last alot longer.

These were recommended by a friend and the length of the flop fit true to size. The bands that go over your feet though were loose on my feet. After a long hot day of walking around, I got a big cut on each foot from the loose bands rubbing the top of my foot. Maybe they fit others better but I am going back to rainbows.

Got sent these by mistake. Zappos let me keep them for free, cause their awesome they always get 5 stars Really disappointed with them after all the reviews and ratings I read guess I expected to much. Their not nearly as cushy as my sanuks

This is my second attempt with this brand and I am not satisfied. It actually caused more pain in my feet. I will not buy this brand again.

I have bought several pairs of these sandals, they feel great at first then the toe starts to loosen. I have returned a couple of pairs yet the last two broke very early in life. At 2/3rds the price I've yet to lose a toe on a pair of Tevas. All of the Olukai's I have retired were due to toe strap failure. This will be my last pair. I only weigh 185lbs, but I wear them all day every day, almost.

These sandals are extremely comfortable. The Ohana model is what I have. They are the worst to get wet. If they do get wet, you might as well go barefoot. They are like an ice rink when wet. I will never buy a pair of sandals again that cannot get wet and unfortunately for Olukai footwear I will never buy footwear from them because of this. They should have a disclaimer somewhere about this. The only true sandal that is an all purpose sandal is Reef. I abuse the crap out of my footwear and these hold up for years, if you buy them in the same price range as these worthless sandals.
