On my second pair. First got destroyed by my cat but I’ve walked many miles at a time in these without my feet or ankles even hurting

I have severe foot arthritis and can rarely wear flip flops or sandals. These are so soft and supportive, that I can wear these on a hot day and they are cute.

I’ve purchased many Olukai. Love the comfort and color selection. My sister had never worn any so I let her try mine on. She loved how they felt and I ended up giving them to her.

Could these be the holy grail of flip flops?!? I have tight calves/achilles tendons with flat feet that battle plantar fasciitis flare ups. Most flip flops have no support. The ones that do have support are usually heavy which make my calves ache. These are the perfect combination of light weight and supportive. Size up to nearest size if you’re in between. Highly recommend!

Good overall. Reliable size and fit. These past a long time and are worth the money for a solid wearable flip flop.

The arch was a little too much for me. I could not get used to it.

I normally wear a size 9 but ordered these Olukai sandals in size 10 and I am glad I did so my heal would not hang off the back. The silver color is nice and goes with a lot of outfits and can be dressed up or down so you can pack less shoes on your trips. Also the price was very good.

Excellent comfort and quality appears the same as a pair I purchase in Hawaii 10 years ago. Just as comfortable right out of the box. My old pair is still going strong and I even wash them in the washing machine every season ?. The only comment is that the size 9 seems snug. I’m an 8.5 and usually size down for flip flops and sandals, and since up for shoes and boots. My old paid of size 8 Kalupa Kai must have stretched out because the new size 9 pair is snug. Regardless, like all Kalupa Kai these are comfortable right out of the box. No breaking in period, no irritation from the toe post. They go from box to a 5 mile hike and you won’t even remember you’re wearing “new shoes”. The uppers are lined and soft on the foot so the straps don’t rub or dig into the foot anywhere. The soles are as grippy and strong as sneaker and I’ve worn Kalupa Kai’s on hikes, boating and beaches all with excellent comfort and support. The footbed is unique from other olu kai in that it has a very squishy padded bed. It is the most comfortable style of OluKai I own. The Kalupa Kai is the only style I know of with this unique foot bed, and I’m thrilled they haven’t changed it after ten+ years. If comfort is a priority, these are an awesome pick. If you live in a warm climate and spend a lot of time on your feet, these flip flops are a steal considering you will likely wear them as a walking shoe, hiking boot, casual sandal, and in the right environment, your “going out” shoes lol! If you live in, or are traveling to, a tropical or hotter climate, I think you will reach for this shoe daily.

Olukais used to be amazing. Now they do not fit as well and do not provide as much arch support. It?s time to look for new slippers that can be casual and functional.

Love the thinner strap on this very supportive flip flop! Wider toe box is perfect for my less than perfect foot with bunion. Fit TTS and straps keep flip flop snug to foot.

These are SO comfortable! They mold to the foot, and they don’t flap when I walk. I love the color. It’s a soft pink. I’ve worn them on a beach trip, as well as for gardening, and they’ve gotten soaking wet, but retained their shape. They don’t stretch out! They run true to size, and they have an excellent arch support. Note: I have very high arches.

I really needed a pair of flip flops that were grippy & water proof for a trip to Maui…so I searched endlessly. I came across this pair of Olukai and they seemed to fit the description of what I needed. A rugged flip flop that had grippy soles that I could trek across the rugged shoreline and had good arch support for my high arch instep ~ I thought they were expensive for a pair of flip flops..After-all they’re just flip flops right? Well, I’m here to tell you these flops are outrageously comfortable ~ like walking on a cloud..they conform to your feet like a glove and they feel absolutely amazing to walk in…it’s a game changer. Wish I knew about these long ago…go ahead put them in your basket..,you’re welcome Note: run pretty true to size maybe a smidgen smaller, but not enough to go up a size.

Olukai are phenomenal flip flops thank you so much

Great arch support, super comfortable, lightweight, fit my narrow (AAA) foot (had to order several pair but with Zappos excellent customer service it was easy). Can wear with jeans, shorts, dresses or skirts. I can wear them all day right out of the box. My favorite flip flops that are more comfortable and sturdier so they're more like sandals. Please don't ever discontinue this style!

These are the best, most comfortable flip-flops ever. I'll probably wear them into the ground, literally.

These are my favorite flip flops. Very comfortable with good arch support for a sandal or flip flop. They look good and you can wash off sand easily. Unfortunately, I have a narrow (AAA or AAAA) foot and have to order several pairs and hope to get a pair that runs narrow. I have been successful several times in the past getting a pair I can make work with perseverance and Zappos wonderful customer service.

Of all the OluKai sandals, the Kulapa Kai are the only ones narrow enough for my skinny foot. I wish I could wear some of their other styles but all the others are just too wide. They say these are medium width, but they are on the narrower side of medium. They're very cute sandals and I'm hoping for more colors in the future! They have a bit of arch support which is nice. I would definitely recommend them for narrow feet.

I needed a pair of flip flops for a beach trip, and my current OluKai flip flops are genuine leather, so I didn’t want to get them wet. This is a style in this brand I haven’t tried before. They are SO cute!!! The pink is a pastel, so it will go with most anything. The fit is perfect!! I have very high arches and a high instep, so it’s a challenge to find shoes that fit, especially any kind of sandal or flip flop. The arch support in these is perfect, very supportive, and the straps are barely snug on my feet, so they don’t slide around or slap when I walk. The strap between my toes is also very comfortable. I highly recommend these!!

The box said the sandles were size 7 but the shoes say they are size 9. Please check shoes in box before exchanging for size 7. Thank you.

My favorite flip flops of all time! I had a pair that I literally wore to pieces over probably 10 plus years.... when I started feeling the ground through the worn footbed, I knew it was time to give in and buy a new pair. I went searching for the style based on the design on the sole, and found them on Zappos! The foot bed feels almost silky, and the arch support is fantastic. So glad they are still making this wonderful style, and I plan to buy another pair when these ones wear through in another 10 plus years ;)
