Customer Reviews OluKai Paniolo

Out of the box, these didn't feel like they would have enough arch support to be comfortable. However, after wearing them around the house for an hour, they began to mold to my feet. Now, I can wear them all day, and they are great!

These flip flops are my absolute favorite that I've ever owned! I started with Rainbows several years ago and switched to Reefs about five years ago. These are just as comfortable and I LOVE the distressed look of the medium brown. I usually wear an 8 1/2 so I ordered the 9. They are a little lose and have plenty of room at the heel, but personally I like the fit. However, they probably wouldn't work for someone with more narrow feet.

I really like this shoe, it's very comfy. It takes a little getting used to, the inside sole of the shoe is somewhat slick fleeing so you have to be aware of that. Definitely not for fast walking! I have loved all the OluKai flip flops I've owned, they're sturdy so they last a long time.

Love these shoes! A LITTLE uncomfortable at very first in between the toes but once they stretched just a little they are now perfect. They are super cute. My second pair of OluKai and totally worth the money!

Love these! They are a bit pricey, but totally worth it. Great arch support and good-looking for a comfy, supportive sandal. I like the embroidery detail on the footbed -- adds some pretty and doesn't rub at all. I'm usually a 7.5 but went down to 7 since they don't have 1/2 sizes. It's a perfect fit.

These are hands down the best slippers that I have ever owned (I have them in three colors). They provide unbelievable comfort right out of the box, are beautifully made, and they age perfectly.

I purchased these, on the recommendation of a friend who lived in Hawaii and swore by these sandals. I have very flat feet, and as I age, my arches need more and more help. I though I'd have to give up flip flops for good, because of my support needs, until I found OluKai. I don't mind spending a little extra for quality and comfort. I have tried SEVERAL other brands of flip flops (made for comfort and support), but these are the most comfortable AND supportive that I have ever worn. They are the first pair I've owned that don't make my feet hurt by the end of the day. I was worried when I first got them, that they were going to be too tight. But, I figured, they were leather, and they'd stretch a bit. It took about a week, but I was right. Once broken in, they wear like a dream. I also like that they are made with the beach and water in mind. Though I don't live near a beach, I do swim a lot, and it's nice to know that water won't hurt them. I plan to buy another pair in a different color. I love them that much. Yes, they cost more than other brands. But, in a case like mine, where support is key, it's worth it to spend a few extra dollars to keep my feet happy.

Wow, these are super comfy! Great quality, fit, super smooth leather and I love the decorative foot-bed. I'm a NY commuter so I needed something sturdy (but cute). I've only had this flip flop for a few days and this quickly became my favorite!

This is my second pair of Paniolos and I just love them as a comfy, supportive flip flop. However, the color Pale Ocean is not pale at all, but a very dark color, almost like denim. I was hoping for a brighter turquoise shoe even though the ones shown in the pic are dark (the name Pale Ocean confused me!). The stitching on the footbed is not only lovely, but feels great and keeps my feet from sticking or sliding when hot.

I bought these in two colors - Golden and Black. I am a little disappointed with the Golden because it's more like a mustard yellow than a tan. I'm keeping them though. Love the black color. The fit was true to size and I wore them nonstop on a trip with lots of walking and I had no issues. The shoes have a great arch support. My new favorite brand of shoe!

I bought these in (natural) preparation for my cruise, and they served me well. At first glance, I had a hard time imagining paying this much for a pair of flip flops, but as I have been having issues with my feet from bad support, I thought I'd give it a shot. Absolutely worth the price. These are also the first pair of flip flops I've ever had that didn't give me a blister between the toes. It took me a bit to get used to the arch support, but overall these are comfortable and gorgeous. I have somewhat narrow feet - I bought my usual shoe size (8) and they fit perfectly.

Love these beautiful sandals! I live in flip flops and these are so cute and comfortable with the arch support I so desperately need. I want 100 pairs of these!

I have a 7W foot with a high arch, and I find these shoes to be extremely comfortable. The footbed quickly takes on the shape of my foot, and although the upper feels a little rough at first between my toes, that wears in. The black is beautiful, and the deep red is a deep cherry red as shown. Provides great arch support, and my wide foot is completely supported, while the heel is slightly cradled.

I love everything about these sandals except that the footpad is very slippery and I can not keep them straight on my feet.

I love these sandals and wear them every day. They are so comfortable and well made. I would definitely order another pair.

This is my millionth pair of OluKai's. I practically live in these sandals for part of the year. I usually get a couple of pairs of the leather ones each season. Wish they lasted a little longer but they stretch. The nylon ones are different and I do not care for those. Kinda bummed to see that they are made in China.

Extremely comfortable! Sturdy with a lot of support. A word of caution, the black wears off on the bottom of the feet over the first few wears but it's worth it.

This is a wonderful sandal. Worth every penny. I love flip flop styles but most don't have enough arch support for my high arches. This sandal does and I'm wondering why I didn't purchase this one sooner. Nice quality and comfortable.

This is my second pair of OluKai flip flops. my first pair were the cheaper non-leather variety. I bought them after my husband had a good experience with his leather ones. I wore my first pair constantly for over a year (as house shoes in the winter), and they were great, but I "blew out my flip flop" when I decided to vacuum wearing them. I recommend this one, or any of the leather ones over the synthetic because I believe that they're more sturdily constructed. Arch support is as good as you could expect from a flip flop. Way better than most flip flops, but not as good as a Birkenstock or Chaco sandal.

What is not to love about these playful thongs! They are a great color, a neutral for a red, very earthy tone. The design is comfortable underfoot, plus the footbed is correct. I highly recommend these thongs.

Second pair of these sandals...I love them! Great arch support for a flip flop which is not easy to find. True to size but only in whole sizes...I round up. The leather does eventually stretch out a bit but still my most comfortable flip flops I have worn.

Yes, these are pricey for flip-flops, but since I live in flip-flops, I bought them for dress shoes really, sorta tells you about my life style, doesn't it? I have plantar fasciitis and find these shoes very supportive and comfortable, as well as nice looking and well-made. Now if they just came in a wedge version, too, so that I could get my jeans hems up off the floor but the OluKai wedges I tried did not have comparable arch support or heel cradling (the arch support in this shoe is not as high as that of my Orthaheels, but is placed and shaped just right, for me, to do the job. And they are way better looking than Orthaheels--I mean, don't get me wrong, I live in my Orthaheel Tides but those guys' idea of a nice-looking upper/strap leaves a great deal to be desired). If you have some extra cash and have foot issues but want a nice flip-flop, this is pretty sweet. I ordered my usual size 8 and found the fit true to size; I should mention that I have a narrow foot and high, fairly stiff arch.

A coworker wore a pair of these to work one day and were singing their praises so when I needed a new pair I decided to check out the brand. At first I was almost scared off by the price but I am glad that I was not as they are the best pair of flip-flips that I have ever owned. They Feature sturdy, beautiful construction, and wonderful feeling arch support. They are completely worth the money and I know that they will last many seasons.
