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.

I wear a 10 and I ordered a 10 and my foot fits on the footbed perfectly. Not too much or too little room. Even though I was disappointed that these are made in china, they are well-made and they look nice. My biggest concern was that when I first received them, they were extremely painful to wear. The leather piece that goes between the toes was stiff and caused discomfort to the point that I thought I might have to try and send them back (even though I had already worn them). Fortunately, after a couple of weeks of wearing them they finally started to break in and now are very comfortable and continue to get even better with each wear. Are they pricey? Yes, I think so. But you can buy a $30-$40 pair of flops each year or you can pick up a quality pair like these and get a few seasons out of them, not to mention they look way nicer.

These are the best OluKai candles they make. I have tried them all and these are the best looking and best built. I owe 3 pairs.

Best flip flops ever. On my third pair now - just wish the bottoms lasted longer - usually the tops shred out first but for me I wear through the bottoms first. Each pair I’ve had has lasted me through two summers before the holes in the bottom get too big. Definitely recommend these

I’ve had four pairs of these over the years, best flip-flops made. My feet are wide though, so I have to get a couple of sizes larger. Never found it to be a problem.

I love these sandals! Well made and very comfortable. Not too much to say, they're sandals, but I absolutely love wearing them and still hold up after three years of constant use.

These run a size small - I would order up a size for these sandals. See others’ reviews as well. I’m a size 10 and ordered both a 10 and a 11 - I ended up going with the 11 (maybe slightly long foot bed but overall comfort was much better).

Excellent sandal for my feet. Initial break-in can be rough for a while particularly between the big toe and next toe. However your feet gets used to it and the leather softens up, thus leading to an excellent feeling and long lasting sandal (first pair lasted 5 years with regular use).

Favorite Sandals ever. Ordering these, one pair per year from now on. These feel SO GOOD. Wear them every day from April - November. LOVE THEM. Best Mens Sandals I have ever seen, touched or worn. You've tried the rest, time for the best!!! THEY ARE AMAZING! Can't give them enough stars.

I normally wear a size 8 but needed to buy a 9 for a better fit. Keep in mind when purchasing. These are great sandal. They are stylish, comfortable and break in easily. I would definitely recommend them. Packaging was original, no signs of wear so I would recommend Zappos. Delivery came fast, but not like the old days where they arrived next day. Also, Zappos pricing has not been the best throughout the years, so look around. However, I like Sappos and would use them again

These are my second pair. The first ones lasted almost 5 years with daily wear from early spring to mid fall. Both pairs were a little tight right out of the box, but loosened up in a few days and as the footbed started molding to my foot. The right foot is the one that is the tightest, but it is because have a bunion on my great toe. The strap comes right over the bunion. A piece of moleskin applied to the underside of the strap where it contacts the bunion fixed the problem (learned this with my first pair). Otherwise these are the best sandals I’ve ever had and last a long time! Great value considering they lasted 5 years.

My second pair of OluKai sandals. I love everything about them especially the foot comfort while walking. Only one caveat for first time buyers. The thong between your toes is a bit thicker & stiffer than other brands so it does take a bit of "getting used to" but after that they are the best.

Absolutely the best sandals/flip flops I've owned. Great support and I have flat feet. Definitely worth the price.

Great looking sandal. Second pair of OluKai. Little stiff when first wearing but like any leather breaks in once you wear a few times.

Nice quality sandal but threading on the sole has unravelled within 9 months of wearing it. Returning to Zappos for refund.

Like others have noted, these run VERY small! I normally wear a size 9 shoe, so I ordered a 10 in this sandal. I had to send back for a size 11! Definitely order larger than you usually would

I start wearing flip flops as soon as it's warm enough and sometimes even earlier. Last year I was introduced to OluKai and bought a pair of Hiapo's which I love. They took about a week to break in and I have never had a more comfortable pair of sandals. The Mea Ola's are taking a bit longer to break in. I like how they look, but don't love the shiny finish of the leather. When I first got them I had to almost squeeze my foot into them. I actually wondered if the strap had been cut small, but they are getting better. I usually wear a size 12 but since most say that OluKai run small, I ordered a size 13. As far as length goes, they are pretty close to what I should be wearing and don't have any complaints with that. My wife keeps reminding me that my pair from last year took awhile to break-in, so I'm trying to remain patient. Bottom line, I like how they look and they offer great support. As soon as the strap softens and loosens a bit, they will be as nice as my Hiapo's - which I love.
