Customer Reviews OluKai Nohea Nubuck

Too snug for my big toe. Otherwise perfect.

Very comfortable shoe. Highly recommend

I love the look of the shoes, the simplicity and dual wearing style (with the heel down or up). However, there is not enough arch support or padding for me. I will sadly return them.

I just got these and put them on and OMG they are so soft and supple. I'm not rushing for Fall to get here but I can't wait to wear them. They are also beautiful looking with a pretty etched detail on the front that you really can't see in pic.

Super comfy and easy to walk in. Shortly after purchasing, I took these on a trip to Lisbon and surrounding towns where I logged 10 miles walking one particular day when I was wearing these shoes. Totally recommend these shoes

I bought the same shoes a few years ago and wore them A LOT to the point of wearing them out. I was so sad, but kept my eye out to see if they would return. Last week I saw them again and bought two pairs! Oh joy! They are comfy and cute, summer without socks and winter with a light sock, jeans or crops, they are my go to loafers. They do not, IMO give a lot of support, but they can easily accommodate a more supportive insole. If I’m going to spend a long day on my feet, I add a small heel cushion under the provided insole and that gives me just the right amount of cush. However, that is the rare occurrence and these shoes are pretty darned terrific!

Like the style and was comfortable right out of the box

Great casual summer slip on. Wear a size 8 and 8 fit me just right. But my feet are narrow. What would make this shoe perfect, is a little more padding in the front. Has adequate padding for heel and arch, but tapers toward the front of the shoe. Overall very pleased and have them in two colors.

My usual size almost always is a 6.5, but in this style the 7 gave me the room I felt that I needed in the toe area. I like the fact that they do not slip on my heel which is very unusual with slip ons. I suppose the way that the heel is fashioned cupping forward a bit on one's heel keeps that from happening. I do not wear the heel flattened down, but up like a moccasin. The shoe is well made and I really like the way they look!

Just love these shoes. Comfortable right out of the box. Love that they are slightly blue. Great with rolled up jeans or capris.

Very comfortable! And cute!

Like these very much. Stylish yet casual. But, they run small. No problem for me, I'm returning the 8.5 for a 9.

I can’t believe how comfortable these shoes were right out of the box - they are high quality and classic style. Worth the price!

Love these shoes, but had to return and order a half-size larger. I can't remember the last time I had to do that.

Super soft leather, combined with excellent arch support. This is not a thick sole, with lots of shock support. I'm not expecting this shoe to go for a heavy day of tourist walking. However, for a normal day of getting life done, this is a great go-to.

Love them. Super comfy and very cute with capris or slouchy joggers. Wore them walking all over DC with some out-of-town guests and my feet felt great at the end of the day. They are a little slippery on wet stone surfaces, but you wouldn't want to wear them in a wet situation anyway. I am very happy with every pair of shoes I've purchased from OluKai. High recommend.

The Nohea is my favorite Olukai design. Due to ankle and knee surgery I have had to change my shoe wearing habits, and Olukai shoes have actually been the perfect fit. This design provides overall support holding my foot stable and also is stylish. My physical therapist always comments on how cute my Olukai shoes are--especially with the Nohea's subtle engraved design element on the top of the shoe. I can take care of my feet and be dressy too.

I am super picky. 90% of what I order goes back. These are very comfortable right out of the box. The leather is so soft and the shoes look cute on. I'm actually keeping them :)

Exquisitely comfortable! The leather on these is so soft, buttery and flexible - no breaking in necessary. I love the detail of the embossed design, and the style is a great casual/outdoor look that works with jeans, shorts and skirts. While I wear them on the beach and at home, I've never been a person who likes to wear flip-flops everywhere, so this shoe is a great casual (and covered) look, and a great alternative to sneakers and slides. While I agree with some reviews that the arch support may not be identical to OluKai flip-flops, I do find it to be reasonably supportive - especially for an unstructured show. Highly recommend!

These loafers are so much better in person than they look in the picture! They do not look super sloppy in person; they're definitely casual, but they still look decent. They also do not make your feet look huge, which was a pleasant surprise. The leather is the fine quality that one can safely expect from OluKai and is very, very soft. Break in period is basically non-existent. Arch support is on the moderate side for me, but if you don't have crazy high arches I think you can upgrade it to excellent. The soles are thin enough to make the whole shoe feel light and comfortable, but not so thin that you can feel every pebble on the ground. I've had these shoes about a week and I was immediately able to wear them for hours on end both standing and generally running around. For sizing you will want to decide how you intend to wear these shoes--if you plan to wear socks perhaps get your usual size, but if you plan to go barefoot consider going down a half size. The leather will stretch out very quickly, so do not worry about them being too tight for long at all. My normal street shoe size is a US 9; for OluKai flip-flops I normally wear an 8.5, and that same size worked well for wearing this loafer with either no socks or very thin ones.

I bought these in August 2014. It's been almost 3 years and I'm still wearing them. They are holding up great and are extremely comfortable. I normally wear a 7.5 or 8, but had to get a 7 in these.

I have one fallen arch which causes me hip and back pain. These shoes correct that without orthotics to the point that I walk with no pain. They are hip and stylish too. I have them in both black and gray and I may even get the brown. I love them.

I ordered these smaller, based on the reviews and they were too small. I'm normally a 7.5 (sometimes a 7.0). I ordered the 7.0 and they were very tight and very narrow. I heard others say they will stretch, but I won't even be able to get to that point because they're too small to wear that long. I've ordered the 8.0, as that seems where they'll need to be. Will reply with the outcome. Very nice looking shoe. Really want them to work.

Absolutely love these shoes! I have back issues, and it's always so hard to find comfortable shoes that aren't hideous. I can wear these to work all day and also with jeans. They are super comfortable. I started with a size 7.5 after reading other reviews that you should go down a 1/2 size, but ended up exchanging for an 8, which were perfect!

Just bought my second pair after I wore the first ones out. I use them as indoor slippers but can also step out on the front porch to get the paper or chat with neighbors and look like I'm wearing nice loafers. Wonderfully comfortable right out of the box! You barely know they're on your feet.
