Customer Reviews OluKai Ohana W

I wanted to love these flip flops, but I just couldn't. I have a high arch and a very high instep and a history of plantar fasciitis. So I choose my flip flops with great care. The heel felt low compared to the arch, and it made my foot feel like it was balancing on the middle of my foot. Made me feel very flat footed. The straps felt tight, which may have loosened over time. They were very cute and I wish they had worked.

Looking for flip flop with support for my plantar faciitis as well as being a plus size woman with a wide foot. This wasn't quite the fit for me. I thought the product would be wider with a more substantial sole. Did go with mens model, still barely wide enough and not as much support, cushioning that I'd like.

Unfortunately, my foot was not made for this shoe. I typically wear a size 10 or 10.5, and my foot is pretty skinny, but not enough to need a narrow size. The 10s were too short - my foot was nearly hanging off of the back of the shoe - but the strap fit well. The 11s were the proper length, but the strap was way too big. No 10.5 size available. The 10s may have worked if not for these annoying little bits of plastic that stick up all around the edge of the sandal, especially around the toe area. My toes are really long and were getting painfully stabbed by these plastic bits as I walked. I really wish they had fit as they seem like an exceptionally constructed shoe with great arch support, but at this price point, they need to fit perfectly to be worth my money!

The arch support was like walking with a rock in my arch. Unfortunately, these are going back.

I live in California and need comfortable flip-flops all year round. I am always on the search for the perfect flip-flop and these were not them. They have great arch support, but the rest of the shoe felt stiff, and the sole was not cushiony at all. Also the toe part was very wide, which gave my normally cute foot a duck foot look. I am going back to my Reef Slaps.

Excellent arch support. Wear 7.5 in sandals; ordered an 8; a little too long but okay. The toe strap is too wide and hurts my toes.

The toe strap is quite wide... so that is uncomfortable.

These are very flat and no cushion or arch support. Pretty, but made for a toddler without foot issues

This style did not have enough arch support for me.

Footbed was much too hard. Not enough cushioning.

Worst Olukai purchase of my life, which I wear daily and the fake leather is awful. They toe strap rubs brutally to the point of bloody blisters and they ruined my vacation. Sticking to my paniolos.

Too much of an arch in these flip flops. Not comfortable at all for me.

Cute but not comfortable

I was told to go up a size if half size is normal. Purchased 8 since I'm usually a 7.5. While they were a little long, they were wayyy too wide. They appeared comfortable enough, but looked like Fred Flinstone feet. Returned.

Definitely NOT worth $70. I wear flip flops or sandals year round and have tried a lot of different brands, so I have good comparisons. The arch support is just “okay”, but is seriously lacking compared to Vionic or New Balance. I can get 2 pairs of New Balance for the price of these and they’re not any better - same material, same colors, same fit, but less arch support. I will not purchase again. Don’t waste your money.

This was so highly rated by other people, maybe there's something wrong with me - but, I didn't like the way my heel went down in the back and that made the arch support. I'm sure these are wonderful sandals, but not for me. I don't like having my heel lower in back and my toes sticking up. The description says they have drop in sole, and I think that is what I didn't like about the fit. The other problem is that they were very narrow and the bottoms were really thin. I couldn't imagine walking in an area with rocks underfoot and feeling them through the soles. These must be just beach sandals.

Nice shoes but the arch was too far toward the front of my particular pair of feet. Had to return them.

Now that my old Montrails are pretty much worn out, and Columbia owns that brand and ruined it with inferior flip flops, I have been on the hunt for a flip flop that works for my feet. The OluKai Ohana W is NOT that flip flop. They're narrow, very little arch support, and the straps are tight. Overall, they do not look look like a $65 pair of flip flops--more like a $10 dollar drug store flip flop, which is unfortunate. :( Back they go, and I'm still on the hunt....

Unfortunately, these run very small. I suggest you size up.

These are my 3rd pair of these shoes. This pair started turning my feet black after two months of use. My last pair didn’t do this until they were over 5 years old. I’m not happy about it and wouldn’t recommend these.

The wedge heel seemed more prominent in person than the photos. I was hoping a little heel and the white color would make these a little dressier, but they were very clunky on. Might be okay if I needed the extra height, but I'm tall enough so back they went.

These are well made, comfortable and support the foot well. Great for walking, shopping, etc...The only downside is the black on the footbed comes off on the feet! So if you don't mind that, they're great. I would have expected that on a cheap pair of flip flops but not these. Don't like paying this much for a flip flop and have this happen. I wear them much less because of that. No more black or color-died footbeds for me.

I loved these out of the box but after a day of walking my feet were dying. The tops of my feet were rubbed raw and between the toes are sore. If I could return them I would.

I really wanted to like these shoes as all my friends have them. But I have a very slim foot and the shoe was all over the place on my foot.

I have a pair of these in another color which I basically live in. This pair however turned my feet black. So I feel like it was just a quirky mishap on the manufacturers part. It certainly wouldn’t deter me from buying another pair. They’re fantastic! And they have amazing arch support!
