Customer Reviews OluKai Mea Ola

Third pair I have owned. The first and second have lasted me 4 years of everyday use. Great boat shoes.

I wear flip flops a lot, and I usually wear Teva's, but I go through them so quickly, and I wanted something a bit more "professional" or something. Anyway, I bought the Mea Ola's because I loved the laser engraved octopus. The size seems true. I wear a 10.5 and got the 10, works well. They do leave a bit of residue on your feet, which helps make a squeaking sound when you walk. That's my only complaint. They took a minute to get used to, they are heavier than my Teva's. Built really nice, with attention to detail. Overall, I am glad that I went above and beyond my normal purchase price for flip flops. I feel like these will last and are of good quality. Also, made in Hawaii!

I love these all leather sandals. True, they are expensive, but they are so extremely comfortable and fit so well on my feet. I found them in a store in Naples tried them on and had to have them. Durable, well made, and very nice looking too!

This is my 3rd pair of OluKai sandals. Fit is true to size; footbed extremely comfortable with great support and surface is like leathery butter. Workmansip is excellent and for a standard thong type sandal, with single attached strap, I don\'t think you could find a better shoe.

These sandals are expensive but very comfortable and very good looking. Takes about 1 week to get broken in. Also they run big so if you are a 10.5 order the 10 and you will be fine.

These are solid sandals. Probably the best I've ever had. They are heavy and with a lot of attention to detail with the little metal studs. Almost shoes really. I'd buy them again. You actually have to break them in before they get comfortable.

As others have stated about other styles by OluKai, order a size larger than needed. I wear a size 14, ordered a 15, and it’s a perfect fit. By perfect I am not only talking about the size, but the leather and quality of the Mea Ola by OluKai is amazing. The look is unique and they feel great wrapped around your feet! Can’t wait to wear them out and about! No need to mention this, but Zappos in the dictionary means: fast delivery, quality, and you get what you order every time! Thanks again Zappos!

I orginally bought the OluKai Hiapo leather sandal and it was amazing. No other sandal fits like these. This new Mea Ola is no different. Killer design and super comfortable. Fit was a little snug out of the box but within an hour they fit like a glove. Love them!

Good looking, appear well made. Have been a little rough on the tops of my feet where the leather crosses over. If you are normally a half size, always go up to higher. Mine just fit me and I have never worn a size larger.

I love the feel of these flip flops on my feet...but do not like the feel on my toes. It may require extensive break-in, but the post that goes between big toe and second big toe hurts and hurts. Otherwise, the arch support and footbed comfort are unparalleled. I chalk this up to being an inexperienced flip-flop wearer, but for others out there, if you wear flips and want to indulge, I think these are a very must-try model.

I decided to give OluKai a try after not being able to find my usual brand (Medium). They are a little on the narrow side for me as I have wide feet, but still fit okay. I ordered a size 9 as that's what I usually wear but they were way too tight so a quick fix from Zappos and I'm sporting a size 10 in comfort. The toe piece is a little uncomfortable but should improve with time. Altogether a good feel to them just order a size up. Hope they last a long time at this price!

Takes a couple of weeks to break in. Good quality and great looking sandal. If your in between sizes, choose the smaller size.

It took me awhile before pulling the trigger to buy this product at this price. But, you only live once! Leather does take three days of hard wear to break in. It almost has become sloppy though. There really isn't any arch support in a sandal, but this is adequate. Great looking sandal. You do pay for shipping. It's built into the price. I know that because the price was left on the other and I also did comparison shopping. Saw an expose on Zappos. They really treat their employee's well which I'll support! Great company!

Excellent sandal. Very well made and great attention to detail. They run true to size and have great arch support. They take a day or so to break in but are very comfortable. My only complaint is that the footbed is somewhat slick and your foot can slip a little. I anticipate this may just be because they are new. Overall a great sandal.

As handsome as these slippers (flip-flops, jandals) are, they are not suitable for a wide foot. Even sizing up, they are too narrow and the band is too tight. I even tried two full sizes up, and in that case, the arch support is in the wrong place. They just don't fit. I really wish they'd make wide widths.

I agree with the other reviewers - OluKai has changed the fit of their sandals. This is the 4th pair of OluKai's my husband has owned, but we had to go up one full size, as they were both too small and too narrow. So I recommend sizing up when you order.

These flip flops run very small. Incredible style, but very tight. I run a 9-1/2 on all shoes. The 10's are tight. I just ordered an 11 and a 12 to see if they fit. I have never worn anything larger than a 9-1/2...

I own several sandals in this brand and these are the only model I haven't liked much. The look and finish quality are like a Rolls Royce (of flip flops), but the slick leather foot bed is, um slick and makes loud noises when you walk. They are also heavy as compared with other styles. The combination of the weight and the slickness makes them awkward to walk in. Sorry, I really wanted a nice dress sandal, but I can't endorse this design.

These are very comfortable. I had to send them back though because the sides came unglued.

Poor customer service from Zappos. I’m not sure anyone even works at Zappos anymore. They don’t return emails or return calls. Orders are going unfulfilled, and no one will respond.

I love this shoes. But, I wish they had half sizes. Jumping a full size from a 11 - 12 is a lot of extra heal.

I bought a pair in the tan color months ago and love them so much that I just bought another pair in the Dark Java! They are simply the most comfortable and distinctively beautiful pair of sandals/flip flops that I’ve ever owned. I buy nothing but OluKai flip flops and casual footwear. They are simply the best!

Beautiful sandal. I wear 10.5 and ordered an 11. I was having issues slipping the right one on because it was too tight/small. Returned for a size 12.

Well made, durable and comfortable to wear.
