Customer Reviews OluKai Kamuela

These are GREAT shoes! But I want to caution that you need to carefully read what some other reviewers say about size. For example, one person marked that the Kameula "runs large", but he wrote, "They run a half-size larger than marked, I typically wear an 11.5 but take a 12 in these shoes." That would actually indicate that the Kameula "runs small" not large. This has been my exact experience too. I also wear an 11.5 in almost every brand, but need a 12 with the Kameula. Therefore, the Kameula runs a half size smaller than marked. Hope this clarifies the situation a bit. Again, GREAT shoes!

Loving these shoes. I have somewhat wide feet with stubby toes, so finding shoes that fit really comfortably is difficult. These are stylish, and super comfy. A bit difficult to get on, as the leather is a bit stiff, and the opening is snug. I don't think I can wear them with my thickest socks, but we'll see how they are once they are more broken in. Some people mentioned getting a smaller size, but they are accurately sized, at least in my experience (I wear a size 9.5).

These are very comfortable shoes, that are fast becoming one of my favorites. They are roomy in the toe area which I really need, the first pair of 9½ were a little tight sent them back for a 10 and they are perfect. I usually wear 9½ to 10 depending on the shoe. I like to shop online and Zappos makes returns so easy that I buy nearly all my shoes for the whole family there.

Recently received my 3rd pair of Kamuelas and I continue to be impressed. The older versions tend to break in a bit quicker, but I didn't have any problems with this pair right out of the box. I tried some of the sandals and had size issues, but these are true to size. The nero color is their 'black' replacement and while it is more of a blue, it works well with any color of jeans.

Husband LOVED these shoes and they look great on! They tended to run a little small for him, so keep that in mind. Zappos was great though! They sent us a new size right away so we could compare the two then send the one back that didn't fit right! They were also super cool with their customer service!

I love the look of these shoes - they are awesome. After reading the reviews, I was willing to risk a heel blister & a tight ankle fit to break them in. Oddly, those were not issues for me, but the instep was a problem. I have a high-normal instep & the cut across the top of the shoe was simply too tight. I cannot wear shoes like Danskos for this reason, too. Great shoe if you don't have high instep. Sadly, I had to return them. I am shopping for something a little roomier but just as cool - and I'm sure ill find it here. I live Zappos! Returns are so easy & the service is super friendly.

The shoes look great. I couldn't wait to wear them. However, they haven't mastered the art of comfort the way their flip flops have. Maybe they need some breaking in, but they aren't overly comfortable unfortunately.

A little bit snug - I wish I had ordered one 1/2 size larger. Once you get them and try them on they do not feel very... rugged... but they are comfortable. It's a shame to spend the money and not get to enjoy the boots.

These are excellent shoes. I have received many compliments on them. Today I will order the same pair in grey. I do think they are a little slippery on wet floors.

This is my first pair of Olukai shoes. The simplistic design is what originally caught my attention. I have worn them 3 times for about 6 hrs each time and they are fantastic. Arch support, comfort, and a clean look. I will be buying another pair as soon as i can decide which ones I want. Zappos you are doing a great job thanks for your speedy delivery and great customer service.

These boots look great. A little uncomfortable at first, but they softened quickly and now fit like a glove.

First of all, I like the shoe, but they are not as comfortable as I expected them to be. They don't feel small but toe hurts after a days wear. The big Hawaiian flair was quickly damaged when I saw the made in China stamp...knowing that now I'm not sure if I would buy 'em again with that price tag.

These are among my favorite shoes as far as looks, but they are just not comfortable for all day wear, walking any substantial length of time, or daily use. They have not loosened up in the right places and pinches in the heels. If they were not such great looking shoes, I would wear them a lot less.

I really wanted to like these--for they are quite expensive and obviously made of good material, but good luck maintaining these! I've purchased a sundry of Nubuck care products and I have been unable to revitalize these shoes. Even if find away to get these things looking decent, I will never purchase another pair of quality Nubuck shoes again! It's just not worth it!

Very comfortable shoes, great fit for the wider front part of my foot. However, they didn't last as long as I would expect from this price. The bottom of the shoe looks cool, but doesn't last; even the shoelaces frayed and broke.

This is my second review after owning the shoes over a year. After a couple of months, I stopped wearing the shoes very frequently as I noticed just how uncomfortable they were. Not had become-were. I took my time wearing them inside the house for frequent short periods initially to break them in properly. Then after some regular use I realized they were not comfortable-no arch support, very flat inside, lots of wiggle room for the toes which is fine by me, but just not comfortable. Then the seams along where the soles adhere to the upper leather began to split and the shoes quickly did not look so good any longer. I no longer wear these shoes and regret my purchase of them. Your mileage may vary.

If you are a guy & tend to use the same shoes day to day These shoes are junk. While they are comfortable within a few weeks the sole started to show wear & the stupid sole made of leather actually tore about 6 weeks after I bought them. I would of sent them back but they where at that point my dumb shoes.

The arch on these shoes seemed extreme and made them very uncomfortable. These were unwearable for me and I never had any other shoes with the same issue which makes me believe it's a design issue.

As others have said, the boots need to break-in, but that takes only a day. Unfortunately, after wearing the boots a few more days, the soles begin to delaminate from the uppers. A couple more days and the boots are unusable, because they have completely separated. Did I mention, this has happened to three separate pairs on all six boots! Olukai customer service has been outstanding at replacing these boots (two times). Unfortunately, I just cannot keep asking for new pairs of boots in perpetuity. It is annoying and time consuming. I have given up on asking for replacements and have written off the expense. I really do not want to say this, but stay away from these boots.

Terrible shoes. The sole started detaching off both shoes within 2 weeks of light wear. The soles appear to be stitched to the shoe, but they are only glued. The stitch is only decorative. I was shocked at the poor quality for the price. My last pair of boots were doc martens that lasted 10 years with heavy wear, so I was very surprised at this lack of quality from Olukai.

Gorgeous shoes, comfortable, my feet breathe well, good support around my ankle. I was really happy with my purchase for 2 months until: The stitching is coming undone here and here, not just in 1 place. The sole is coming undone at the rear back of my lefty. Looks like it was made cheap.

I wore these for one day and my blistered heel wore through the leather part of the heel section all the way to the plastic. This has never happened to me before, especially not on such expensive shoes. I wanted to like these but the quality was poor. I feel this is a waste of money.

Beautiful shoes but I tried 3 pairs and they did not fit right. the toe box is huge, so if you have narrow feet these are not for you.
