These shoes are very cute. I’m a narrow 9 1/2 to 10 and the 10’s felt good. I’m a hairstylist and after an 8 hour day of standing, the balls of my feet started to ache but that was without socks. They feel nice and light. I also bought the pink ones and love the color.

I loved these shoes at first sight and was bummed that they don't come in a wide. While I don't have particularly wide feet, these are on the narrow side and they didn't fit in my usual size 8. I ordered a half size up and they fit pretty well (though I'd still love a wide option). Very comfortable and love the style!

Love the look, no arch support and very thin soles. Can feel the floor under my feet. Deciding whether to keep or send back. Thin leather, too. Started wrinkling as soon as I put them on. Very expensive for the quality, but cute!

I really wanted these to fit, but I have feet issues that prevent many shoes from fitting comfortably. Unfortunately, this was one of them. The issue isn't the shoe, it should fit most people just fine and be very comfortable...just not mine :-(

I have lived my summers in Olukai flip flops and love the brand. Wonderful style and quality in these loafers but they are a half size too small--toes are right up against the shoe while standing and arch support insoles extent back into where my heel rests. I always wear the same size, so it's surprising to me. Keeping my fingers crossed for a good fit in the next size up!

My feet are somewhat wide with high instep. I generally get a 9, occasionally an 8-1/2. I own two size 9 Noheas in Black and Java. The black pair is 3 yrs old, in good shape functionally but looking a little worn. Stretched out a little over the years, but I do wear socks with the shoes. So, when browsing, I noticed 1/2 sizes for Noheas. I ordered 8-1/2 and the fit was tight, too tight to take a chance. Exchanged for a 9. LOVE this brand: cool styles, pretty good arch support, durable and comfy.

Wearing these around the house they're extremely comfortable. Sadly the pair I received is pretty beat up so I ordered an exchange. They don't appear worn but due to the nature of the material they appear to scuff/rub easily. I feel it's definitely true to size. I wear anywhere from a 7.5 dress shoe to an 8.5 sneaker (if it's narrow) and the 8 fits great!!! Will try to update on longevity after I've worn them for a season.

I also have these in the perf version in 1/2 size smaller. I think the perf version is slightly less stiff and stretches more. Very flat and soft insoles, but I wear custom orthotics in most of my shoes and that supports the arch. Great look for a flat. I especially like that the rubber sole isn't white which shows dirt. I expect these will show wear fairly quickly, but they look great......not old lady looking like so many flats.

These are cute, functional, low maintenance shoes. Not incredibly supportive, but great for easy on/off laziness in the summer.

I'm a huge fan of Olukai shoes. Their sandals are super comfy, so I thought I'd give the loafer a try. It is a very high quality shoe, and the drop-in back makes them convert to slip-ons easily. If your feet sweat, though, the back of the shoe will discolor with salt if you do that.

This is a light weight shoe. Not big and bulky. Great quality! Would buy this brand again. I have a narrow foot and was surprised how snug it fit.

I am so bummed! I pretty much live in my Olukai flip flops all summer and had high hopes for these. They are so cute but way too wide, which I could have lived with, except that the goring rubs and pokes my feet. Not good. Back they go.

These are incredibly comfortable and fit right out of the box. I wear a 9 in Olukai sandals and ordered the same in this shoe. I have wide feet and these fit very comfortably without making my feet look huge. Ordered the fog/taro combination and may order black too. I also ordered a canvas pair but the nubuck are so soft and comfy that I may return the canvas.

Very soft and easy to wear. I have a difficult time with most shoes causing blisters on my heel, not these! I wear them both the back up and with the back flatten like a flip flop. Wish I would have bought more colors before my size sold out.

Too wide in toe box. I wear the Olukai sneakers, but able to tighten laces so width was not a problem, but do look a little sloppy. Leather very nice, litttle arch support.

These shoes are really comfortable except that the shoe's treading is really strange. It's raised on the bottom but not all of it. So I could feel the difference in height from the raised area with each step. (If that makes sense.) Wish it was all one height on the bottom b/c these shoes are really comfy otherwise and very cute.

I love Olukai but these were not for me. The black color looked very masculine and unattractive. Also the arch didn't line up with my foot's arch. Overall I didn't like these at all. I sent these back and got the Olukai Pehuea Heu instead, which are perfect!

I wanted to love these shoes as they were pretty comfy. However, they were way too narrow for my feet and I even ordered a half size up to try to accommodate my wider feet. The super soft leather would probably stretch but the soles were too narrow too. I'll keep looking for a good boat shoe that can fit a wider foot and high arch.

I really wanted this shoe to work in spite of the poor arch support. Sadly, it was too short. I could fit my foot into it but my big toe hit the end and there was no way I was going to be able to walk in it. There isn’t a larger size. The sizing system they use is the euro size of 41 = size11. No way does a 41 truly equal a size 11. More likely a 10-1/2. I have had to return so many shoes of late that ran too small, I think because the manufacturers are using the euro sizing. That leaves us true size 11 peeps out in the cold unless they make a 42. I’ve always been a size 11 M and my feet still fit into the size 11’s I’ve had in the past so it’s not my foot that’s the problem. We need more uniformity!
