Customer Reviews OluKai Paniolo

This is an amazingly comfortable flip flop. It feels perfectly worn in from the very first step. Not dressy at all though...purely casual.

Love! I have these in black and red. They are very comfortable. The footbed is comfortable, even with the embroidery which I don't even notice. They are well made. Highly recommend!

SO COMFY! I have these in every color. While most shoes I buy are a 7 1/2, I found that the arch support fell in a much better place with the 8. I can wear these for hours and don't have heel pain that I would have with other flips. Highly recommend!

These are so wonderful I have purchased 3 pairs is different colors. Great arch support for my high arches. Beautiful colors.

I just received these sandals today and so far I have found them to be very comfortable. I have very small feet with high arches, I wear a size 5 medium and that size is very hard to find. I always have to order online. Zappos is the best shoe site that I have found so far. They have a great selection in my size. They are also great to deal with! Thanks Zappos!

I bought my original pair on the Big Island in Hawaii. Loved them so much, I had to order another pair in a different color. These are very comfortable. Very much worth the price.

I love these sandals. I just bought two more to save for when my current ones need replacing. Living in AZ I wear sandals almost every day of the year. I have never found a sandal that is more comfortable and offers more support than the Olukai Paniolo! I am a big fan!

I love these flip flops. I have several pairs of Olukai's and love them for their arch support. The Paniolo's and Kumu's run more true to size for me. I'm normally a 6-1/2 and the 6 fits me best in both of these styles. The length is exactly the size of my foot, the arch hits me in the right place and the straps are tight enough to keep my foot in place. I also ordered the Ohana's in a 6 but the arch did not hit me in the right place, so I'd go up to a 7 if I ordered the the Ohana's again. Of the styles I've tried, I think the Paniolo's are the most feminine and stylish. There is some delicate stitching detail and the straps are thinner. The dark red is a great color -- more of a rust.

I hated flip fops... literally, hated them. I hated the way they flop on your heel, I hated the way the post always hurts between your toes, I hated the lack of arch support until I met these Olukai Paniolos. I got them on sale at my local outdoor store, which is the only reason why I bought them in the first place. As soon as I tried them on, I literally wore them every day it was above 50 degrees outside. They lasted me two and a half years of continual, every day use, including a year living in Vietnam, working on a Junk boat in Ha Long bay, rock climbing, kayaking and trekking through the jungles (granted I don't recommend them for long treks through the Cat Ba Island jungles.) They have great arch support, don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise. I have RIDICULOUSLY flat feet, and I could walk in these shoes for days without pain. The embroidery is beautiful but of course, if you wear them without cleaning them, It'll get darker. For my foot, long and flipper like... (woman's size 11,) these were the perfect size. Of course, I'm buying them again and although I have to pay full price this time, there's absolutely no hesitation.

Very comfortable. Only the slightest bit of break in needed. Love the color and the embroidery on the foot bed. I wear these around the house all day long. Wish it had just a tad more arch support but I am one with a very high arch.

I have owned many flip flops and OluKai are by far the best quality out there - I own several pair. The stitching is incredible. After a few wears the leather breaks in nicely. I highly recommend.

Great arch support! A bit pricey for flip flops, but well worth it for the quality. Toe piece is a bit uncomfortable at first, but fine after breaking-in for a couple of days.

Great flip flop, extremely comfortable able to put them on and walk all over. Very nice leather and detail.

The best pair of flip flops ever. The arch support is wonderful and they are stylish. This is really the only pair of flip flops I have ever been able to wear all day. They provide enough cushion and with the arch support it's a win! The only negative...I purchased the black and have had the color come off on the sole of my foot. Still, I wear these almost every day with shorts or skirts. I highly recommend them and they are well worth the price.

My daughter introduced me to Zappos because she loves your online store and policies. Now I am hooked. You have superb choices and you make returns so easy. Thanks.

Yippee! Love these flips right out of the box. Wearing a size 11, I can't always find a nicer looking flip flop that can be dressed up a little. These fit the bill. As soon as they arrived, I put them on and headed out the door. Wore them with ease all night long. They look cute, no rubbing anywhere and the arch support is just right. Going to look into other styles in this brand.

This is my second pair. I wore the first ones out. They are my favorite sandals. They are very comfortable and last a long time. I have plantar fasciitis and these support my arch so my feet do not hurt at the end of the day.

These sandals are as beautiful in person as they look in the photo. I have several pair of Olukai Ohanas, and love the arch support and incredible comfort. The Paniolo is just as comfortable right out of the box and has the same great arch support. I was worried that the decorative stitching or wrapped toe separator would feel uncomfortable, but these feel awesome right out of the box. They are a bit narrower than Ohanas but still ok for me. This is the first day wearing them and I don't want to take them off.

I am very happy with my purchase of these. Fit was perfect along with comfort. Will very likely purchase from OluKai again!

Great little arch support in these guys, nice grippy rubber sole, and simple design (I purchased a second pair) No tightness or rubbing in the toe piece; the leather is stitched away from the toe bed. Nice leather throughout ensures great wicking of perspiration. Comfortable straight out of the box.

Moulded to my foot the moment I put it on, nice high arch supoort, soft leather straps. Fits great! My favorite of four similar that I tried, Keen, Sbicca, Ugg.

I just received these flip-flops today. Zappos provided very quick shipment and accurate tracking through UPS as usual. Now onto the sandals, so far I am impressed. The red color is unique, not too bright. The stitching and detail is impeccable. I ordered a women's 9 and it is true to size in my opinion. The sole is a unique waffle pattern with the traditional OluKai bone hook design at the heel. It does provide adequate arch support and I find the materials to be comfortable. Another quality OluKai product!

I love these flip-flops - they are the closest to perfect shoe I could wish for in terms of fit, comfort, durability in addition to the colors and design being subtle and beautiful.
