Customer Reviews OluKai Mea Ola

I'm not a fan. I love a light airy flip flop. These feel heavy and a bit clunky. They are comfy, though.

I wanted all leather sandals and these were the only ones that fit that bill so I was willing to pay the price, BUT Its still a lot for a flip flop. I wear a size 12 shoes and normally on sandals/flip flops I go 13, but I had to go 14. I was disappointed for the price I paid I didn't get my color.

Sandals arrived quickly. Great service! The stitching on toe post on the left sandal was twisted so that the stitches created a rough surface next to the adjacent toe. This condition will clearly wear the skin away and will render the sandal unwearable. Love the style and color but will return and order another pair. I don't think this defect is representative of the product in general, but rather an isolated instance.

was too tight across the bridge of my foot to be comfortable, wish they made a bigger entry

Having owned a couple pairs of Hiapo, I'm no stranger to OluKai. Unfortunately, this purchase of Mea Ola's was an expensive and (literally) painful mistake. When I tried them on, they felt snugger than my Hiapo's, even when when they were brand new. They're the same size. I measure to a size 12, but I ordered 13's. My size 13's Hiapo's have been perfect. I figured, well, they'll definitely stay on easier. I walked just a couple hundred yards before my feet really started to hurt. Returning home I found in that very short distance I had horrible blisters on the tops of my feet underneath the straps. Other than some boots in childhood when I was growing fast, I've never gotten a blister from footwear. Analyzing the Mea Ola's carefully and comparing them to my Hiapo's, I was able to see that it's a "vertical" problem -- not width. The toe post appears shorter in height and hence was pulling the straps more tightly down on the top of my feet. Unfortunately, I did walk outside with them so they're no longer in "new condition" so I'm assuming I'm stuck with them. I plan to take them to a shoe repair and see if they can be stretched, otherwise I'll just have to toss the money in the trash.

All that was good. The stitching on the bottom of the heel blew out. I’ve only worn them a hand full of times.

I really like olukai sandals, but I’ve had 3 pairs now and all 3 pairs broke within a year in the same place. The leather piece between the big toe and “middle” toe always wears and breaks and leaves the sandals useless and have to be pitched. I would expect a pair of $120 sandals to last much longer than 1 year and feel disappointed 3 pairs all broke in the same exact place. Now I’ve decided not to buy them anymore even though I like them for comfort and style

Quality construction , excellent fit out of the box , very comfortable . Recommend highly !

They are a little big but I am wearing them

If you have a Morton’s neuroma, then this sandal will help you. Very comfortable,

Perfect

Excellent slipper!!

RUNS SMALL! Ordered both a size 12 and a 13. I'm glad I did. Some comments mentioned they ran small, and he is normally a 12. So he's keeping the 13.

I ordered a size 13 as people said they ran small. He's normally a 12 so I did order both sizes. 12 was too small so I'm so happy I sent the larger 13 to make sure one of them fit. They are gorgeous quality sandals. I was so happy to see them on sale. Zappos is such a wonderful company.

Expensive but best made and comfortable flip/flops around. i wear them as my indoor shoes.

This is actually a repeat purchase, as loved the last pair and lasted several years. Great brand

Excellent leather sandals ?

The best fitting Sandles made!

Like all Olukai products the comfort is great right out of the box. I can feel the foot bed molding to the sole of my feet as I wear them. Totally broken in with less than 5 hours of wearing them. Nice looking dress sandals for "stepping out"

I'm a 10 1/2 and the size 11 fit good. Initially I thought the fit was a little snug however, with wear (and a little break-in time), they're great. If I were a true 11, I'd size up.

Dad loves Olukai flip flops. They last forever and comfortable. True to size

I had to get a size larger to fit like my true size.

Run small so order a size up. I can tell they will take some time to break in but I believe I will love them when I do. Love the color too.

Love these. Wish I could wear them now that we're returning to work, but no... :-\
