I normally wear 11 US size. I ordered 10.5 and they fit perfect, and they will stretch a little. My friend suggested go a half size smaller for this reason, and he was right!
These are very comfortable, and I know that I will get some great use out of these shoes before getting another pair.

I have only had this shoe a few days, so time will tell how it stands up. I have really wide feet with low arches. These shoes are really great, very comfortable, wide space for toes. Excellent arch support. The only flaw is a lack of ventilation which can make them feel a little hot and sweaty after long periods.

I purchased a pair of these, fabulous! Most comfortable shoes I have owned for many years. Smart but also casual, I am have wide feet so difficult to find shoes that fit this bill. Purchasing via Zappos, so easy ! Thank you.

These shoes are awesome! So lightweight, comfortable, easy on, easy off, and have gotten lots of compliments on them.
I wasn't sure how I would like the back folding down, but it is comfortable to wear them that way, and just as much to wear them normally as well.
This is my third pair of OluKai shoes and I'm quickly becoming a huge fan of this brand!

I love my Olukai's. I bought these because I have 5 pairs of the Olukai flip flops and I don't wear any other kind. So I figured I couldn't go wrong with the shoe. Super comfy. Love the fold down back in case you just need to throw them on real quick. Being all leather with no ventilation they can get a little warm. Other than that they are great. And as always Zappos is the best.

I love these shoes. Great with jeans or khakis. Buy them a half size small. I have a narrow foot and had to go a half size down and they fit great with an athletic sock.

This is the best shoe ever! Super comfortable right out of the box. Extremely durable. Closest thing to feeling barefoot with shoes on. Like Hawaiians would wear a shoe that wasn't comfortable? The heel of the shoe is just soft leather. No hard thing in the back like all other shoes. If you have heel issues like pump bump, get these, you'll feel no pain.

I have high arches and it is difficult to find a comfortable shoe. This is now my go to shoe. It is light and still gives me solid support. I am extremely pleased.

What a comfortable shoe! Liked the first OluKai I bought so much I didn't hesitate to buy this leather version. Free shipping and fast service! Very satisfied. Great to deal with a companies like Zappos and OluKai. They know what they're doing and they do it very well.

My overall score is hovering between a 4 and a 5, for the following reasons. First, as other reviewers points out, it is a little odd--the pics don't really show you this, you have to put it on your foot like a shoe (not a slide) to see how odd it looks. My wife thinks they look "meh." As she says, they are like a cross between a Birkenstock and a boat shoe--two designs statements she hates. So if you are ok with that, then you will be ok with these. And, I think if you wear them as a shoe with long pants (not shorts) the oddness is pretty much neutralized. Also, your feet don't really breath in them well--the nubuck is good at keeping the warmth in--and if you aren't wearing socks, and it's not cool outside, your feet might sweat in them. I probably noticed this because I live in California.
Besides all that, these are extremely comfortable shoes. I could walk and walk in them. And they are very well made. They are a real pleasure to have on your feet.
So, in short, they are not a "classy" shoe, but they are more a "bohemian" causal, and really comfortable. If you like that (and I tend toward the bohemian side of things), then you will probably really like these Olukais.

My husband loves these shoes; very comfortable for lots of walking and look so much better than a tennis shoe!

I'm a huge OluKai fan, and bought three different pair in this order. I love the look of these Lace Up Nubucks. But while they have the comfortable sole that OluKai is famous for, the tongue of the shoe is a little too long, and is very uncomfortable against the front of my ankle. I'm hoping this will 'break in' with time and not be an issue.

The OluKai Nubuck is a really nice shoe. The style and material can be worn year round and its very comfortable. The shoe can also be worn like a mule/slip-on due to the fold down section in the rear of the shoe. The size is pretty true but if you're not certain it's better to go 1/2 size up than down. Strongly recommend.

Very comfortable right out of the box. Great casual shoes to wear with jeans. This is the second pair of OluKai shoes and they are great.

I like them. Most pants cover the laces so it's not as cool looking as it is in pictures to me. But they are comfortable and well made.

I don't find shoes I like easily and I'm glad I gave this unknown brand a try. I love the style and the fit is good, especially the width which is usually too narrow for me. The insole took some getting used to and I almost returned them the first time I tried them on, but I gave it some time and now they feel good. The leather on the bottom that covers the sole between the rubber sections is getting scuffed after only 1 month and I think this is a weak design feature that only accomplishes a unique looking sole and nothing more.

This is more of a clog than a shoe. It's perfectly comfortable, but there's too much wiggle room throughout and the construction of the rear of the shoe is really odd: very soft leather that just doesn't feel like it's giving you much of anything.

Took a bit for me to get used to the look, but I have gotten several comments on how good they look. Pretty comfortable and great for business casual.

This is an odd shoe at first glance, but insanely comfortable. It goes well with jeans, but is really too casual for chinos, maybe khakis? The heel is very light and doesn't really offer much support, but works well with the shoe overall so be prepared for a brief adjustment period. The shoe is extremely well made and wipes off easily (went for a brief hike and had it covered in mud, no issues at all). This is a great shoe for day-to-day use and I look forward to post a long-term review in 3 months.

To be honest I absolutely love these shoes, however within four months I have had two pairs fall apart at different seam points. I am waiting to hear if they will replace again or refund my money. That leads me to believe the quality of these shoes is poor, a shame because other than a lack of durability they are awesome.

Tongue too long. Rubs up against ankle in a way that’s really uncomfortable. I’m a big fan of plums I have purchased many many pairs over time but I avoid some of these newer (last 3 years) with the longer tongue.
