Customer Reviews OluKai Nohea Mesh

Unfortunately there seems to be no consistency in sizes with these shoes. I ordered a pair of 10's, hearing that they run large for my size 11 foot. The 10's were still too large. I returned them and ordered 9 1/2's. Those were too small! So I guess I need 9 3/4's?

I think you need box-shaped feet to wear these. My narrow heels were constantly rubbing against the back and slipping out of them. I tried smaller and smaller sizes until I ended up with one so small I could actually feel the front of the toe box and still my heel was slipping around! It is a shame because by all accounts they are incredibly comfortable shoes. But they are not for the narrow footed. Style-wise they were as okay as a pair of mesh loafers can possibly be, although the red logo on the black/black color does not look nearly as nice in person.

I wanted this shoe to fit sooo bad! This is a very well made, high quality shoe. Unfortunately it is not comfortable for my feet. I think the issue is the insert. It seems to push my foot toward the arch as if I were pronating. I am writing this review, because I think Olukai makes a great shoe and everyone feet are different. Worth a try if you are looking for a casual slip on.

This shoe was a cool slip-on and appeared to be made very well. I had to return them because they were nearly a size too large. With it being a slip-on and very likely to be worn without socks some may find it hard to dial in the correct size for their feet.

I normally take size 10 1/2 but returned those for a size 10 which fits but still requires thick socks. I think I might have fit into a 9 1/2 and regret I didn't opt for that. These shoes are moderately comfortable walking shoes.

I've been a huge fan of Olukai going on 8 years, and was really disappointed with this pair. The main thing that impressed me about my first pair of Olukai sandals is how they never slipped, even on wet rocks. I slipped using these pair right after I took off the tags :( The material feels cheaper as well. Really hoping this is a hiccup with this style and not reflection on brand overall. Also, so many reviews said this style ran a size large, so I went down 1/2 a size, and they are too tight (That part is on me, not Olukai), so if you know your size with Olukai brand, stick to that!

Size is way off. Normally wear an 11.5. Ordered an 11. Need to send back for a 10.5

I've worn a size 10 or 10.5 in every shoe for 30 years. These were said to run large so i ordered a 9.5. They were too large. I returned and ordered a size 9. They are too small! Literally cannot find the sweet spot on these.

It felt like I was walking barefoot. No arch support, and my feet need the arch. The material seemed very nice, lacking in cushion.

They look great however they were HUGE. I typically wear a size 12 and often find I need to try and find a wide. I ordered these in a 12 as I normally would they were were sloppy large. I returned them and haven't ordered another pair as I just need to go someplace and try them on and don't want to mess around with ordering multiple sizes to just return more.

way too small

Great shoes at first, but my toe poked through the top of my left shoe after 3 months of wearing them 2-3 times a week.

Great shoe, but after less than a year all 3 pairs are several stretched out. Feels like I'm wearing flip-flops now.

Uncomfortable because I can feel the texture of the sole through the insole on the bottom of my feet. These shoes soles are hard and make too much noise walking on any floor surface that is not carpeted. I feel like a horse walking around on my hard wood floors in my home.

Great looking lightweight mesh loafer–very comfortable for walking and the mesh breathes beautifully. Two Problems: 1. As this shoe is presumably designed to wear without socks, curiously it had a non-ventilated insole that doesn't allow the bottom of your foot to breath. This result is a very sticky footbed and malodorous shoe when worn without socks. 2. At exactly the four mount mark, the seams on both the toe boxes split directly above the big toes on both shoes creating gaping holes. Big fan of Olukai, but the quality of this product is far below their typical standard.

I really liked the look of these, but they simply didn't fit. I always wear a size 9, but they felt really loose, so I reordered in an 8.5, but the arch felt out of place. So ultimately I returned both pairs. It's super unfortunate, because I thought the style was truly well done. I'm going to try the non-mesh version to see if I have any better luck. OluKai, keep trying! You're on the right track, just seems like you have some fitment issues, but your styling is spot on!

Good looking shoes....However, not good fitting. Back cuff of shoe is cut too low.

The quality of these shoes have gone WAY down since I first purchased a few years ago. There is no arch support whatsoever, and the sizing they give you is completely wrong. I had to return three sets of shoes until I found a pair that were a size and half smaller than I normally wear so they would fit my feet. I really loved these when I got my first pair, but I will never buy these shoes again.

Shoes are comfortable, dry out well if the inner soles are pulled out. Mine wore out on the top, my big toe started pushing out through the mesh, this is only their second season and I only where them on weekends in the summer, I'd expect better from an $80 shoe.

The shoe I first ordered was an entire size bigger than it should have been, and when I exchanged for a size smaller, it fit, but was still uncomfortable.

Great looking shoes but when I started wearing I noticed and issue. If you lift your toes when you walk these shoes have tow issues. One, the material seems the somewhat files your toenails and it creates fine white dust above the nails on the top of the shoe. (I have grey). Also My big toes has worn the liner and now the fabric through on the shoe so they have only lasted for about 4 months. I only wear these on weekends and feel they just are not as durable as they should be for the price. BY way of comparing, I have not had these issues with any other shoe I have owned. This may be anecdotal, but the the price, I am disappointed.

Shoe runs huge. I wear a 13, and this shoe was falling off my feet. Plus it looks too much like a water shoe.

These shoes look great and the mesh provides excellent cooling. However, the padding on the insert is not very comfortable. The large patches of "tread," for lack of a better word, can easily be felt through the insert. There is very little give to the insert, so I find the shoe uncomfortable while walking. I wore them for about an hour. They're going to Goodwill.

Very comfortable but insole starting to fall apart after about 50 wears. I love the look of this shoe but the lack of durability is disappointing.

Dreadful. These aren't even close the the size chart used on Earth. Too bad. I was looking forward to a sporting around this summer in the OlukAi Nohea. Bummer.
