Customer Reviews OluKai Kia'I

These are awesome and absolutely pillow top soft foot bed, by far the best and I thought the Kekai model was soft. I purchase a pair.

These aren't your typical flip flop; they have great support in the soles and feel better than my running shoes. They're waterproof and the islands embroidered on the strap is a cool feature too. I'll definitely be getting another pair!

These sandals are phenomenal! They feel broken in and comfortable right out of the box. Cannot recommend them enough!

I have been buying about 2 or 3 pairs of Olukai sandals per year for about 6 years and these are the most comfortable sandals ever! I feel like I'm walking on a cloud with these. Almost feels like memory foam. Even softer then the leather sandals, very nice. Great beach and casual sandals.

I have 2 pairs of this sandal and 5 pairs overall! The fit and quality are all fantastic as is the service from Zappos!

Would you believe I even played basketball in these??! I have to say, they are ultimate flip-flops or sandals that I have ever worn. Being a bigger, athletic person sandals have historically left me with knee pain or just discomfort. These really do the job. Although I do not have a low arch, the added sport seems to deliver more spring in every step.

I don't usually fill out product reviews as it would become a full-time job, but I felt compelled to say that these are absolutely the best flip-flops I've ever owned. The quality and fit surpass the usual suspects by a mile. You can tell the second you put them on your feet even without breaking them in. They cost a little more, but worth every penny!

One of the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn. I even went running in them the other day, wow!

The best flips I've ever owned. Only brand I'll ever buy!

I usually wear 9½ and the 10 fits perfectly. The cushion in the sole is soft while the arch support is very solid. It is, like another reviewer put it, "like walking on a cushion of air." They are still comfortable when wet and they dry quickly. I am hoping that they wear well and last forever.

I wear flip flops most of the time during 3 seasons in the northeast. These are all day comfortable and great (and grippy) when they get wet.

OluKai flat out makes the best sandals and shoes there are. Overall I have 11 different pairs of OluKais, and no I do not work for them. The sandals cannot be touched by anything else out there for style and comfort. The Kia'Is are my go to the beach sandals, walk in the surf sandals, my play sandals. Love them. Buy them you will be glad you did, especially your feet!

Terrific sandal. Breaks in in a few days. Love the fit, style, color & I'm pretty confidant that the OluKai will last quite a long time.

Most comfortable Flip-flop I have owned. I have had multiple pairs of Fannings, and long term these are far more comfortable. I also have a pair of Nike Air-Max slides, and I still prefer the OluKai to those even just bumming around the house. The arch support is terrific, and the heel cup keeps the sandal on straight no matter how fast you are walking/running. The eva foot bed is unbelievably comfortable. Biggest adjustment is these have no ramp angle like the Reefs do, these have much more of a "bare foot" feel while the Reefs have more of a running shoe feel as far as either having your heel flat or elevating your heel a bit. Straps are nice and fairly tight, so they stay on perfect. Good traction, and so far seem to wear great. Highly recommend.

I just got these so I do not have any miles in them yet, but straight away they are more comfortable than my previous pair from another brand. The arch support is much better and the footbed material just feels awesome. I love the style. The sizing felt true to size and width. The shape of the straps also made them a little more snug to get into. Once they are on they do not feel tight at all - just a bit more secure than others that I have worn which is nice.

This is a must buy. They hug your foot. They are not going to fall off. I will buy every color. WOW!!!! Great support.

Hands down the best flip flop...this is my second pair (the other pair is 3.5 years old), and I will never buy another brand as long as these exist. I bought a 14 even though I am a 13 in Brooks.

The truth is, I wasn't going to get another pair of Olukai's. I have the Olukai Hiapo, and although they look awesome and are very comfortable when standing, they felt like they were slipping off when walking (they're are all leather). But I went ahead and ordered the Kia'I anyway, and I'm glad I did. They are comfortable right out of the box, are secure on my feet (i take a size 9.5 & ordered a 10, perfect fit). All in all, they are exactly what I wanted, style and comfort. Also the customer service at Zappos.com is great. They upgraded me to a VIP (don't know why) and they were at my door in New York in under a day... very nice.

These are great sandals. A bit pricey, but wow, are they comfortable. Also, the straps stand up so you don't have to struggle to get into them.

I bought these for my husband, who would go barefoot all the time if he could. They're comfortable, stay on his feet, and -- best of all -- don't slip and slide around on trails. They're his favorite shoes!

The Montrail Mmolokais are better. I thought that I would try these considering the description. Wearing them full time, these all have about a one year life, then retire to part time in the yard. We have had a couple of pairs of Montail Molokais after years in Reefs. The Olu Kai, side straps loosened up after a couple of months from the new tight. The front sole catches and bends under sometimes, can be a trip hazard when you least expect it. This Oolu Kai is second best overall.

After owning for a month, they seem more like a $45 pair of sandals than a pair at this price. I am much happier with the leather Ohana, although don't buy the black ones - they have a cheap foamy bottom in lieu of the leather bottoms on the brown ones.
