Customer Reviews OluKai Paniolo

So after researching and trying various different styles and brands these are without question supreme! I was looking for a durable pair of quality leather flip-flops that would hopefully have some arch support and a sole that was not really thick but that would not wear away drastically like some of the foam bottomed ones (I know, I was asking for a lot out of a pair right?) However these were all that and more! I was a little hesitant over the price but after receiving them and practically living in them all summer and even some of autumn I am convinced they are worth it. The straps were a little snug the first week or so of wear but not uncomfortably and before long they conformed to my foot and wearing them became more comfortable then being barefoot, the strap between the toe never gave me any discomfort even from day one. The arch support was above and beyond what I was hoping for, dancing in theater musicals a good arch support is something I try to find in my everyday shoes; I was expecting any flip flop to not offer much in that way but I was delighted to find these had great support. Zappos return and exchange policy made dropping the money feel safe (cause they are so great! I love you, Zappos!), and the particular pair that I got came with a one year guarantee from Olukai but I think they are going to last me a lot longer than that. I am going to get another pair in black or dark brown, the red ones I have are hard to beat though it might be another identical pair in red. Thank you, Zappos, for hanging in there with me and helping me find the perfect pair.

I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis due to increase in mileage as a runner and I've searched everywhere for shoes that are both cute and comfortable to relieve my pain. I have literally worn these sandals every hour that I'm awake and I'm glad to say that for the first time in 2 months, I'm pain free. These will be my go-to flips from now on!

Very nice looking! Required a little more breaking in than other Olukai flops, and the sole is a bit more rigid. Still totally worth it, though. Note I have pretty flat feet so lack of arch support doesn't bug me, but I think these have less than some other styles.

I love these sandals. Bought a pair while in Hawaii last month and, unfortunately, left them at the Loews Coronado Hotel in San Diego two weeks ago where we were attending a conference. I called the hotel three times asking about them and, nada. So, I'm ordering a replacement pair. They are the nicest sandals in the entire world. Fit well, made well (of leather), great arch support which I need and, I love the embroidery. Just gives them a pit of femininity. I have bought Olukai before and also used to buy Chaco. I can no longer find Chaco in leather, only rubber which I don't like as well. Can't wait to get my new sandals and thanks to Zappos for carrying them. I thought I was going to have to wait until I returned to Hawaii! Mahalo.

This is my second pair of OluKais, and I adore them. I have very narrow size 6 feet, short toes, and a super high arch. I have always avoided flip flops because i couldn't stand between-the-toe rubbing and, for some reason, when I walked, my heel would go one way and the flip flop the other way. Very frustrating! The OluKai are the only sandals I've found that stay on my feet, do not annoy my toes, and are comfortable enough for all-day walking.

Love these! I love Olukai but never bought leather. Read the reviews about the stitching, I've haven't had a problem. The straps are thinner than my other Olukais and it makes these look more feminine. The leather wrapped around the bottom dresses them up too. Love these!

Very comfortable. Takes a little getting used to the footbed's stitching but it doesn't interfere with the comfort. Nice arch support too. Beautiful leather and color (red) and the stitching is lovely. Highly recommend this brand.

Oh, these shoes, these shoes! After 400 dollars spent on bulky orthotics and an additional several hundred in orthotic shoes to put them in, this is my first pair of flip flops in 2 solid years. I’ve been dealing with horrible plantar fasciitis which, ironically, is the result of years of abusing my feet with cheap flip flops. So I bought these after missing flip flops and pedicures, and reading every one of these reviews. It’s important to note that I did NOT love the fit of these during the first couple of days. For me, they had a breaking in period. Given my foot shape, I felt the strap was too close to the “body” of the shoe and it really pressed down on the top of my foot and caused me a different kind of pain. But it that happens to you, trust me, walk through it for a day or two. It goes completely away. Since they’re such a high quality leather, they need some time to stretch into the shape of your feet. So DON’T buy a size up to compensate because they’ll end up being too big. I have now bought these in black and brown and the look of them is just gravy on top of how much they help my foot pain. They’re SO pretty and stylish and go with everything. This is the most expensive pair of flops I’ve ever bought but I’m never looking back. Eventually, I’ll own every color.

These flip flops are comfortable. They have a bit of arch support so I find them more comfortable than the flat ones. They look great on and I wear them all the time.

Love these flip flops! This is my second pair and I like them because they have more sole and cushion than many and give you a bit more support. Nice color and design.

These are my favorite flip flops! I ordered five different pairs this year and this is my third year buying them. I wear them all year long and my feet never hurt when wearing these. I have high arches and flat flip flops just cause me too much pain. These have just enough support and are perfect! The embroidery on the footbeds is so cute.

I bought these in gold last spring, and they have gotten a lot of wear, but are still looking and feeling great! Just couldn't resist getting a second pair - so much more comfy and cute than regular old flip flops, and I do love my Havaianas for around the house/pool, but for out and about, there is no contest in terms of being able to walk comfortably for shopping excursions, and look so stylish while meeting friends for coffee or a casual drink. Love the rich jewel tone of both my older gold pair and this gorgeous new red pair. Will buy a new color every spring, but think each pair will last for several years! Can't go wrong with these.

I purchased a pair of these in Hawaii about three years ago that were a lot more expensive! They are very comfortable even though they are leather. They do not rub, and they do not click when you walk. And Zappos is, of course, the best for bringing them to my door at a much lower price.

This is second pair of OluKai that I have purchased. I found this brand while vacationing in Hawaii and needed a good pair of sandals for walking. Love them! Highly recommend this brand and glad that I can purchase on Zappos.

Love these sandals. I live in Hawaii and a good leather sandal for casual dress is imperative. Oh sure, I have my lesser brands to wear in rain and mud, but if I am going to be out for the day and looking good I grab these. I wear a 7N in shoes and sandals so finding one that is not ridiculously wide is difficult. Love the fit, the braided toe strap takes a bit of a break in but no more than a couple of days around the house. The leather is rich quality, the design very nice, love the foot bed design. The arch hits me at just the right spot. My husband has the Men's version, the ladies is the same but with narrower straps that look nice on a lady's foot. 5 Stars all around! I will be purchasing more in other colors.

Love these! Excellent craftsmanship, I can tell these will last for a long time. Leather is soft, but stiff at first wear. They will break-in, don't worry. They are a bit heavier than other flip flops, but that's because of the thicker sole and heavier leather. The embroidered stitching on the soles is nice feminine touch. I wish they made half sizes, they run a bit small. I am usually a size 9 but found them a little shorter - more like an 8.5. The 10 was far too long and straps too loose. Stuck with the 9. I bought these for my beach wedding in Kauai, wore them with my dress! My husband bought a similar pair by Olukai to match. Worth the extra money spent, great quality and brand!

I love these sandals. They are so cute and comfortable. I wore them around Las Vegas for a day and my feet survived with no problems. Due to other reviews, I was not sure which size would fit best. I wear a size 8½ to 9 in most shoes. So I ordered both the size 8 and 9. The 8 was perfect! They definitely run a bit big. I am very happy with my purchase!

I love these flip flops! The arch support is nice, the colors are fabulous and they run true to size. They are a little more expensive than most of the flip flops I buy, but I find them to be sturdier and more supportive. So far, so good.

Favorite flip ever, no flops. Out of the box these were a fit - which was surprising BC I'm usually an 8.5 but was able to fit in an 8. The bed is soft and the leather nicely shapes to ones foot with time. The toe strap is easy to adjust to unlike a lot of other leather flip flops out there. A slight arch adds comfort and the design is delightful. Love the natural color but will likely get a second pair in another color from the great palette. Price tag seems fair for the quality level of this shoe.

Love these! They are so comfortable and last forever. Had to get a new pair only because my dog enjoyed these also. :) Have received many compliments and they are my go to summer shoe.

I love theses sandals! I have wide feet, and the thong stretched to fit after a few wears! I love the color and design on the footbed.

I love these sandals. just know that they will be tight out of the box but will stretch out as you wear them.
