Customer Reviews OluKai Ohana Lace Up Nubuck

I purchased these shoes from a local retailer a few months ago. They were the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn, and unlike many, they stayed just as comfortable every day after. They do run a little large and wide, which was fine since my foot is just slightly wider than a medium width, so perfect for me. The only negative aspect of these shoes is how the sole wears, and the reason I gave an overall 3 star rating. If you look at the bottom there are rubber sections that stick out from the *leather* sole. The rubber is very soft (excellent traction on wet surfaces!) and wears exceedingly fast. Within 4 weeks the rubber sections on the ball of my foot had worn down to the leather nearly touching the ground directly. By week 8 the leather had been in direct contact with the ground and worn through to a rubberized layer underneath. My shoes tend to wear in exactly this place, but never this quickly in the past. If this shoe could be made with a sole that wore better, or a sole that could be easily replaced by a cobbler, they would be perfect. I wouldn't have any issue replacing the sole every 2-3 months, they're just that comfortable.

These shoes cause my feet to smell and my feet do not usually smell. Obviously they do not have ventilation, but I think the insole is what really harbors the smell. If I take out the insole, the shoe does not smell. I have tried nice thick wool socks but it does not help. Anytime I wear the shoes for more than a few hours, they start to sweat and smell. I am debating on trying a new foot bed or seeing if I can return these. So comfortable, but this is a deal breaker. I can not believe no one else has reviewed them accordingly.

I love these shoes. This is my second pair. They are incredibly comfortable with insoles that feel the same as Olukai’s Ohana flip flops. The style is suitable for business casual or jeans. I work at a computer and like the ability to slip out of the shoes at my desk and quickly slip back in using the drop-in heel.

I bought these shoes because I've been struggling with a Morton's neuroma and was looking for a shoe with a wide toe box but that didn't look like a clown shoe as a result. The Olukai Ohana is great. Feels and looks good. I can't comment on the durability as I've only had them for a week, but I sure hope they hold up because, right now, they are my go-to shoe!

Love them!

My husband liked the option to skip on. They provide good support and look great with jeans or khakis.

These shoes are extremely comfortable and nice looking. I wear them to work and just kicking it around the city. Years ago I bought a pair of these and discovered that the heel flip stitching had torn after a month of wear. Promptly returned them for another brand. I couldn’t get the comfort factor out of my mind thus decided to give them another shot. They must have improved the stitching as I have not had any issues to date. Highly recommend these! ??

Ordered these for my son who has wide feet. He has worn them almost daily since he got them and he loves them and says they are very comfortable. They are made well and the leather is of good quality.

Love this shoe. Incredibly comfortable to wear all day, but suitably dressy for most work, etc (assuming you aren't needing to be in a suit). great in many settings. worth the cost.

These shoes are extremely comfortable to wear all day on your feet. Runs about a half size larger than expected.

I have purchased my second pair of shoes from this company, because I was very satisfied with the first pair. I owned the first pair for one year and they were multipurpose and very durable. I would suggest buying a half size smaller and this version, because they are lace up, which allows a snug feeling. I like the fact that I can wear these shoes at work, around the apartment and to events, which have a casual dress code.

OluKai shoes are the best! They make a noticeable difference with my plantar fasciitis. They are nice looking shoes and really comfortable.

I really like these. The fit seems closer to true size than other OluKia shoes I've had although still a little on the large size. I find them very comfortable to wear when slightly loose. They feel comfortable right from the start.

These shoes are amazingly light for how thick the sole looks. The inner sole has great comfort but the tongue is quite discomfortable; I had to exchange these for a different pair of OluKai's. The Black Olive color is a bit darker than I expected from the pictures which I assume had perfect lighting.

I love this shoe and all the other shoes I have purchased from Zappos. Most important, is the SERVICE--next day delivery--Free and easy exchange when needed. Zappos is truly POWERED BY SERVICE and best price.

Love these shoes. They wear fine and like the heel can fold down to go from a loafer to a clog any time. I normally wear an 11, but I went with a 10.5 because they run big.

Great shoe well made. Took about 3 days to completely break them in. Although comfortable the first day. I'll probably buy another pair different style. Zappos is extremely easy to buy from.

Absolutely the most versatile and comfortable shoe Ive ever owned. Wear with jeans, shorts and office casual. Very stylish and seem to be built to last. I was a little worried about wearing on the soles but after a month of everyday use, no signs of wear. Very impressed.

My favorite three season shoe. So comfortable and the quality is top-notch. The only downside is the blue from my jeans discoloring the top-side of them. Would recommend applying a protectant.

These shoes are so stylish and fit me to a tee. The only problem is that my feet do sweat a lot in them. The shoes are so awesome though, I'm really torn on this issue.

I don't own a car, so I needed shoes that could go the distance. These shoes are comfortable and durable. They have held up well during my meanderings in and around hilly Seattle. My only complaint is that the traction pads on the bottom tend tend to get caught on things and trip me more than other shoes. I am a somewhat clumsy, pigeon-toed walker, so more nimble consumers might not have this problem.

I bought these two months ago. Initially, I ordered a size smaller because of the reviews only to find out that the size was too small. I returned the smaller size for my normal size and they fit perfectly. I am on the verge of becoming an Olukai addict - these shoes are the most comfortable I've ever owned. I look forward to wearing outfits that require black shoes. Do yourself a favor and pay the extra money for this brand!

Great idea for a shoe! Very comfortable for wearing all day. I live in FL and these shoes help keep my feet from burning up. Excellent construction and worth every penny.

I always wear Olukai flip flops and would say, "I wish they made these in shoes." When I discovered these I bought them immediately. Not quite as soft as the sandals but very comfortable and supportive. Very similar footbed, which fits my foot perfectly. Open toe box, lightweight very comfortable for all around wear. Will start looking at more of their products.
