These are great flip flops! They are dressy enough to wear in Florida, or for just running around. They are very classy with the leather uppers, and wear well. I own all the synthetic Ohanas for boat and beach wear.
I'd also recommend:
Any of the Olukai line, alternatives would be Sanuk flip flops

I obviously like Olukai, I have several pairs in different models. I live in Hawaii, so wear flips year round. These hold up well, have good support and are fashionable.

These are the most comfortable flip flops the minute you put them on. There is no break in time required. The only complaint is that the leather is a little slippery.

Good value. A durable, comfortable version of the classic flip-flop.

Color is nice and fit is perfect, but I would not wear these near water or sand. Color bleeds everywhere and sand gets between the souls. More fabric than leather on this model. 3 stars!

I loved these sandals but they did not last. I expect at this price point that they will last more than a couple of months. I had them just a few short months. I believe they suffer from a design flaw. The bed of sandal is leather and it is glued to the sole of the sandal. It isn't sewed at all. The leather on mine detached.
Zappos was great with my return. I am buying another brand of Olukai that has the leather bed of the sandal wrap all the way around the edge so that it is sewed into the sole. They were great sandals until the glue failed

I have had these for 26 months and have probably worn them daily for 18 of those months (other flip-flops for eight months, "normal" shoes for about two). The quality is first-rate; they still look good, the sole has a lot of rubber left, and the footbed does not show much wear for the age (I am 160 pounds). You really cannot go wrong with a good pair of OluKais. You get what you pay for.

These are my first pair of OluKai sandals and believe everything you read about them in other reviews. They are great! The footbed is extremely comfortable and supportive and the leather is very good quality. The sizing for me runs 1/2 size larger. I highly recommend these sandals.

These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever put on at first wear. Tried lots of sandals and have always gone with Birkenstocks, but very pleased so far. Also much more stylish than Birks.

These are the last flip flops you will ever own. They mold to your feet and feel like a second skin. Our favorite.

Fantastic sandals -- super comfort, classy and built to last. Traded in a competitor's less expensive sandal because it just was not holding up. So far, so good on these. I will have these for a long time.

I love the OluKais. About the sizing: I have had a pair of the non-leather Ohanas for over a year. I ordered a size 10, which they listed as a Euro 44. They fit great. Upon ordering and receiving the leather Ohanas, I discovered they also were labeled size 10, but Euro 43 - and they were too snug for my liking. I ordered an 11 (Euro 44 now), and all is good. Does this mean that they now run small? I do not know, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

These are very nice quality. However they are not even close to true size. My husband wears a size 15. Usually he gets a 16 to be safe, he had to send these back for a 17. Luckily the sizes went that high.

Lost a pair of these in the Amazon. Immediately ordered another pair. Best sandals I have owned. Soft leather footbed with excellent contour for foot arch.

Albeit pricey, a very nice shoe. Very comfortable. The only problem was some chafing after 4+ miles of walking, however I can't imagine any "flip flop" type shoe not having a worse result.

I ordered these for my husband in size 10. They were too short; slight heel hang-over. Reordered in size 11 and they were perfect! He loves them. He has a high arch and support is very important to him. He wants a pair in black too! Thinking of trying a pair for myself. As usual, great service and delivery from Zappos!

I'm very pleased with these flip flops. They are by far the best fitting flip flops that I have ever worn. They have excellent arch support, and the understand of the straps are padded. I've only owned them for a month or so, but they seem to be holding up very well. I'm definitely going to buy another pair of OluKai flip flops when these wear out.

Awesome -
Leather is slightly darker than in the picture - probably because the photo was shot in bright studio lights. Seems to have a high arch which initially seemed too high, but the shoe compresses a bit and everything settles down. The lining/backing makes the leather comfortable so it doesn't chafe.

Very comfortable. Good arch support. This particular shoe is all leather, therefore it is NOT recommended for use around H20. I didn’t realize this when I purchased, but I kept them because they are so comfortable. If you want to use them around water, OluKai makes a synthetic leather version of the Ohana.

Very nice sandals. The only complaint is that since the base is full leather, my feet stick to them after some wear. I wasn't sure if I should buy full leather because of this; however, Zappos is great because I can return them if need be!

Smooth and comfortable. I bought the dark brown leather variety. The neoprene backing is really comfortable to walk around in. These sandals look really great on and definitely pass the fiancee acceptance factor. I'd like a little bit more support; my Chacos are a little better for all day walking, but for going out to dinner these are number one.

Purchased fall 2011. Pros: style, support, and overall function (excellent). Cons: major break-in required (had to wear bandages on top of feet and increase wearing time slowly). Entire front 1/3 of leather footbeds separated from soles. I would not buy again.

Looks great in picture online but looks so cheap in person. The footstrap is made of some crap plastic that makes your hefty dollar pair of flip flops look like they cost less. Returned.

My husband had these sandals for 18 months and loved them. It was time for new sandals in November 2011 so we ordered the exact same pair that had served him so well. He did not change his usage patterns in any way but this most recent pair of sandals has not held up well at all. The leather insole on both sandals is peeling up and rolled, the rubber sole on the bottoms is peeling down and the sandals were finished off yesterday when one of the side straps simply snapped. That seems unacceptable for such expensive flip-flops after just seven months of use. We were huge Olukai fans, because they actually make sandals in his size, but this most recent experience (coupled with the fact that Zappos, who I adore, will not go to bat against the manufacturer for us) has us thinking twice. It is doubtful that we will order these again due to what appears to be a new problem with poor construction and materials and Zappos' inability to help remedy the situation.

The sandals feel great on my feet. I needed to get used to the stitching but that only took a couple of minutes. The sandals were a little stiff at first but quickly loosened up. If formal sandals was a type of foot wear, then these would be perfect. Well as formal as you can get with shorts and jeans.
