I love these OluKai'I! Very comfortable. You could run in these if you wanted. I have two other pairs in different brands, and the suck! LOL.

I purchased the Dark Shadow/Dark Shadow color combination in size 11. I typically wear size 10 1/2 to 11 and size 11 was a perfect fit. The quality and comfort of OluKai's are unmatched. I always love slipping into any of my OluKai's.

These are excellent sandals. Olukai products are the best in every way. I have three different pairs ranging in price and each is on a par with the other!

These make my feet feel like they are walking on clouds. There is a wonderful support for my arch in the middle of my foot. My next pair will be these sandals. I can't express enough about how wonderful these sandals feel on my feet. Also, when walking, they stay on my feet and not fly off. When I got them, I bend them in and out as if I am walking in them to break them in. They seems to be broken in after that on the first day. Nice!

As the owner of two over pronating feet I must say these flops are as comfortable as it gets! A little pricey for flip flops, but if you want comfort it's the way to go!

I live in AZ and HI. I discovered this brand last year. Without a doubt, they make the most comfortable and best quality flip flops I have ever owned! I look forward to the end of the day when I can put on my Olukais...they make my feet smile!

First, Zappos is the best. Second, Olukai has proven again to be tops in flip flops. Great quality, comfort, and support.

These are the ultimate flip-flops! I just retired my first pair of Olukai Kia'I Sandals last week with over three years of flawless performance!! I abuse footwear, and these took it all! I have tried all the high end sandals out there from Reef, Sanuk, Rainbow, Teva,Chacos, etc and these are the best slip ons ever! They are totally worth the price! The footbed is super comfortable and supportive. If your feet ever hurt from crappy sandals, then you need to upgrade to the Olukai Kia'I! Aloha

Absolutely hands down the best sandal I have ever owned. Working on boats these sandals are a dream, no fatigue, sore feet or wet shoes all day. Feels like you are wearing a pair of shoes. No flat foot like other brands. And pain in my lower back has completely gone away after a couple of weeks of wearing these sandals. Since purchasing these I have also bought a pair when I get back to land.

This is the second time I have ordered from Zappos, their price was ten dollars cheaper than the local store I was going to buy them from and they arrived in a timely manner. I will order from Zappos again in the future!

My feet actually want to carress the shoe. No slipping out of these clouds. Great arch support and even support between my toes and the ball of my foot. A pleasure to wear.

This will be the 2nd pair of OluKai sandals that my boyfriend owns! I bought this pair for him and he absolutely loves them, says they are the best sandals he's ever owned! He wears between a size 15-16 and it's hard to find shoes for him! Great buy! Great price! Very satisfied!

Great flip flop (slippas). I am on my second pair. After 3 years first is showing wear. These specific pair or the leather version are great for people with a narrower foot even though they claim B width. The leather attaches to the inside of the shoe, not the side. Look at the other Olukai's to see the difference. Also toe thong is fabric, not leather. Much nicer and more comfortable. Good arch and traction. Size up. I'm a 10.5 and 11 fits great!

These are my third pair of Olukai's and they are by fare the most comfortable sandals I've ever worn! The footbed on these sandals just form to you foot making it a perfect fit every time.

Unbelievably comfortable for beach walking, etc. No blisters after walking miles of beach straight out of box.

I own several pairs of OluKais. Leather to go dressy and these to use around water. They are great wearing, comfortable and nicely designed.

I ordered these sandals about two months ago, based primarily on the style of them, as well as quite a few positive reviews. While I do think they look nice, I've been dissapointed with the comfort of them. I find it typically takes a week or so to break sandals in, so I held off for a while on reviewing these. Unfortunately, these just don't seem to get any more comfortable with wear (and I believe my hesitation has cost me the ability to simply return them.) I don't know if it's the positioning of the strap or the material they're made of, but they flat-out hurt the tops of my feet. It's too bad the most expensive pair of sandals I've ever puchased is also the most uncomfortable. I'll stick with Cobian, Quicksilver, or Reef from now on.

These flip-flips felt very comfortable, high quality and fashionable. Unfortunately, I felt something weird on my left foot. I noticed the strap was placed a bit too far behind. Frankly, this was very disappointing for an expensive pair of shoes! I am returning them but getting a new pair that hopefully will be correctly made.

These are the most comfortable flip-flops ever! The footbed is soft and supportive and will quickly mold to the foot. I bought them about a month ago and have been wearing them almost every day since. My feet are on the wide side so I chose the men's style, but because of the nice color pops they do not look too masculine. I also bought a red pair. I highly recommend these for anyone.

Out of the box very comfortable fit. After about a month they didn't stretch more than a little bit and still fit nicely. Very comfortable flip flop that are great looking and perform well when wet or dry.

This is my second pair of Olukai Kia'I sandals. I think they fit and look great as well as being practical for people who get wet doing water sports like I do. When most sandals get wet, the footbed becomes slippery and your foot will slide off the sandal. But the Kia'I was developed for lifeguards in Hawaii so this doesn't happen. They are rugged, durable and dependable. I will buy another pair next year, as they are the best sandal I've ever owned.
