Best flip flops I’ve owned going on my 5th year with a pair of darker colored ones. Beware, however that 1) you should probably never get these wet (they get a distinct odor to them that will not go away) and 2) prepare for about a 2 week break-in period with them.

If you have never owned a pair of Olukai, do yourself a favor and get a pair! This is my fifth (?) pair of Olukai. I have had a three different pairs of their shoes and this is my second pair of flip-flops - all have been excellent. I will say that you need to read reviews for Olukai, particularly about sizing - while my Olukai shoe's ran true to my size 12, the Mea Ola most definitely run a size small - so order up a full size. Also, keep in mind, that Mea Ola are NOT simple 'flip-flops' - they are fine leather sandals. While you can certainly wear them to the beach and pool side - they, like all leather shoes, are not meant to be worn in truly wet conditions. Also there is a break in period. However, once broken in....WOW...I can only equate putting them on to slipping into a pair of buttery, favorite jeans......the leather foot bed molds to your foot overtime and feels amazing. If you take care of your Mea Ola- they will take care of you!

I’ve been in flip flops for over forty years. I’ve had Mose every commonly known brands. I purchased a lower priced OluKai flip flop several years ago. I used them as my “everything” footwear. Tough chores such as gardening, running (somewhat) and climbing up and down hills and trees. They held up for about six years. Wanting more style this time, I chose the Mea Ola. They are well crafted. Beautiful. Comfortable. The price on these is well worth the investment. A one day break in is all it took for the feel and fit to be where i needed it to be. I’m hopeful they last as long as my last pair. Peace

I went against the other reviews that said these run small, when I ordered my pair and I’m glad that I did. I wear a 10.5 in most brands of shoes. I went with a size 10 in this sandal and they fit like a glove! The leather is very soft and supple and the contours match my feet well.

Nice but no arch support at all. I like the leather feel and fit but not really worth what I paid as I needed more support. I purchased another cheaper pair from different company that provided more support. I do like these and the way they feel but not sandals that I could wear for more than a few hours at a time.

Great arch support compared to other thong sandals. They appear to be well made and more presentable than other men's sandals. The leather thong (vs some other material), and the underside of the straps, both need to break-in a bit though. Don't buy these right before vacation and expect to walk around a lot when you first start wearing them. Otherwise, they are great. Highly recommend and would buy again.

I'll start with the Olukai Mea Ola sandals I recieved look stunning, the craftmanship really shows in them. At first they are stiff and hard as a board, took about 3 to 4 days for them to really soften up and mold to my feet and once that happens oh boy are they comfortable. They're apparently made entirely of high quality leather, the soles are about 5/8" thick and very sturdy slung on rocks and other porous surfaces aren't noticable at all. They have some engraving on them that look good and add to the overall appeal. The top strap is thick high quality leather as it the entire product, I expect to get years of wear outta these. Overall im very pleased with the sandals and highly recommend them if your in need of stylish comfortable beach apparel.

The sandals look great and are super comfortable. These sandals are not your average cheaply made sandals. They look sturdy and have a snug and comfortable fit. I can definitely see myself wearing them around the house.

I bought these sandals in February of 16. It’s now July of 19 and the sandals still look brand new. I did need to reorder a full size up from my normal size and they were perfect. Not much of a reviewer but almost felt obligated to leave one here because these sandals are so awesome!

This is my 2nd pair of OluKai Meo Ola sandals. My first ones finally wore out after about 8 years. They are the best sandals I've ever had. Even at $130 it feels like a bargain, when you get such longevity. They are true to size. So incredibly comfortable. Contoured to your feet for wonderful support. I could wear them all day. They are also stylish and classy. I hope the Mea Ola's will be around forever :)

I wear a 13 athletic shoe, but found size 12 works best with this flip-flop. This is my second pair. I'm very happy with my purchase.

These are great! Only thing is that these are a full 2 sizes smaller than what I normally wear. I'm a size 9 and size 11 fits me well.

Order 1 size up. I am always a size 10 and definitely need an 11 in these. Exchanging for a size 11. It’s a great looking sandal.

Great sandals. Extremely comfortable, easy to wear, not too heavy (though heavier than foam flip flops), and nice-looking.

These shoes look amazing. They very sturdy in their construction and very comfortable. I wear these shoes when I go out in the evenings so I am not putting a ton of miles on them. The sole is made up of separated rubber pads which provide for a different walking experience. There is leather beneath the rubber pads and it has been scuffed by walking on loose ground (stones). The soles are my one drawback for these shoes but otherwise I really love them.

Comfortable and the added grip/padding on the bottom made these feel like walking shoes. The support is better than most others that I have owned.
