Customer Reviews OluKai Mea Ola

These are worth every penny!

Outstanding quality and comfort. I did have to exchange for one larger size than I were in tennis shoes. Zappos made the exchange rapidly and extreme politeness. ??Zappos

I bought these for my husband and he absolutely loves them. Great quality and great arch support. I'm thinking about getting a pair myself.

The fit is very nice. Good arch support for a sandal. They need to be worn in to keep getting better. This is my 5th or 6th paid and I love them. I had to order one full size larger than I wear. I wear a 12 but had to order a 13 to fit well. This is the case for all the OluKai I have purchased. Obviously I would buy these again. I have a pair 3 years old and still wore them yesterday. I practically wear every day them during all the warm months in Cali. So I am saying that they hold up well with a lot of wear. The sole is very durable and wears well.

I bought these for my husband in ginger and they are beautiful. I am exchanging them, however, for a different style of OluKai because my husband prefers a softer toe piece.

These seem to be very well made and certainly the best made flip flops I have ever purchased. I never would have thought to spend this kind of money for a pair of flip flops, but I have had my eye on these for a very long time after wearing many other "cheaper" brands. Give them a little time to break in like any leather product and these will be the most comfortable you have ever had! My feet are big (size 13 running shoe) and I ordered these in a 14 not knowing how they were sized. I am glad I did because a 13 would have been too small for my feet. I would say these run about a half size small, but that is subjective as everyone has different feet. Overall I love these so far, just have to see how they last in the long run.

I stupidly left my 4 year old Rainbows down in San Diego on a short trip and had to purchase another pair of sandals. I live in Venice (Los Angeles) by the beach and needless to say, a nice pair of sandals is a must. My last few pairs have been Rainbows which are truly great - they are very understated and can really do everything: casual bike rides, wear them to the beach, hot days when you're wearing shorts, etc. They are great - but I've heard excellent things about Olu Kai sandals and pulled the trigger on these (in black). Sizing was hard for me because I lot of reviews say to size up. I'm a 10 in Nike, 9.5 in Chuck Taylors, and all over the place with dress shoes, mostly 9. Maybe even 8.5 wide, depending on the last. I have fairly wide feet (at the front) - so I took the plunge and ordered a 10. They are PERFECT. Heels aren't falling off in the back but not too much back there, nice and wide enough up front for me, and most importantly - great arch support. I've broken these in for a few weeks now with daily use (not that I wear sandals 24/7 but it's now summer and I slip them on in the mornings to grab a coffee).... and they are very very comfortable. Styling isn't as loud as it may appear, either. The intricate footbed designs kind of wear down with use - the subtle contrast (dark green) stitching on my black pair is a nice touch. So what downsides? Well, I'm not going to wear these to the beach - and by that I mean out in the sand and up to the water. They are just too nice and I don't want to ruin them... I'll likely get a rubber 'beater pair' to substitute for that. That's pretty much it! And if you're worried about sizing, Zappos is always quick and easy for exchanges so no worries there. Cheers.

These are fantastic! The second pair my husband has owned. He has a hard time finding the correct arch support for his feet. He absolutely loves these! I have a different style in a women's size. They are the best flip flops I've ever owned.

I've owned the me olas and these are just as good but with a better sole. I wear these all the time, not just for going out, and the extra traction is awsome!

This is my 2nd pair of OLUKAI sandals. Very good quality. Very durable and have a classy look.

Super-comfy shoes. They look great and feel great! When you like wearing flip-flops, but want something nicer.

Great real leather sandals. Has pretty good arch support bit heel padding is lacking. But look great with everything. I've had mine for 5 years and still look great.

Just recieved my pair of Mea Olas and wanted to let you know not to pay any attention to the reviews about going up 1 size. I have average feet and wear a 9 street shoe. Ordered a 10 sandle because of the reviews saying they run small and to go up a size. I now have to send these back because they are way to big. Buy your true size ! Zappos was great on the return and even sent me a new pair in size 9 before I coud get my returns in the mail. Can not tell you much about the sandles as I have not gotten to wear them around yet. Hope this helps someone.

Super cool, super comfy, true to size

This brand was recommend to me by a friend, and I am very happy with the quality and fit and finish.

very comfortable, I don't really like this type shoe but this is quite comfortable and now i wear it a lot

Wonderful sandals, need breaking in as usual for OluKais. I love that OluKais don't slide off your foot like most flip flops, I've worn these on 5+ mile hikes in hawaii with no problems.

I ordered these in several colors and sizes which all came to me in just a few days. I wear anywhere from a size 9 to 10 1/2 and found that the size 10 fit the best so I would say they run just a touch small. You can't beat the quality of this shoe. The detail is amazing and they just get more comfortable as you wear them. I did find a small defect in the product though but upon contacting Zappos customer service I was sent a new pair the very next day! Didn't have to take pictures or anything and they provided a label to send the defective pair at no charge. I wish I could buy everything at Zappos! They make everything so easy.

I am no stranger to this type of footwear, four years in Japan in the 50's these shoes were the best. For all around wear, even in the winter, they cost a lot, but after you wear them you forget the cost, also people know that you did not buy them in Kmart.

I wear these sandals all the time, even in the winter! They are so comfortable and lightweight. I love wearing them, and I will be buying these in black. I'm always wearing them and I thought my DC sandals were comfortable, there is no comparison.

Just bought these for my husband, has not worn yet but he says they are beautifully made and feel very comfortable. Got these to replace another OluKai model. He's a 9, and fit is true for him.

Best sandals ever - own total of 4 pair - Ohana, Kai, Kai II now Mea Ola. Have high arch - great support, they run about 1/2 size small - go up a size, have wide foot (E) but they "stretch" slightly after a few wears - would never buy anything but Olukai's!

These are expensive but worth it. The footbed is well formed and the straps are comfortable. There is some modest arch support, much better than most flippies.
