After a doctor told me to stop wearing flip flops because of plantar fasciitis I was not thrilled. OluKai have excellent arch support and they are the only flip flops I have found I can wear.

Totally the best flip flops ever. Just enough arch support, super comfortable, and look great too! I have had a lot of trouble with my feet over the past year, recently a stress fracture on the top of my right foot and an ongoing lump under the arch of my left foot...These are like HEAVEN!Nothing hits or hurts...super comfy...I would like a pair as slippers for the house too.

This style runs smaller than the other ones I have so they are one size too small for me.

Wished they came in 1/2 sizes. Normally I wear an 8 1/2. After reading other reviews, I decided to order the 9. It is about a 1/2 size too big, but I'm afraid the 8 may have been too small. Excellent arch support but overall the shoe is heavy. Wishing I had been able to try on before purchasing!

I heard from other mom's how great these flip flops were and they were right! I frequently wear tennis shoes in the house for the support but now I've been wearing these. They have an arch unlike any other flip flop I've worn but still have a spongey feeling footbed that is still firm enough to provide great support.
This style is more sleek than the OluKai Ohana W - which has a much sportier look. I also tried the Ho'opio style, which is even sleeker looking but the footbed is more plastic-y without that spongey feel.
The Charcoal color is a patent medium grey.
I plan on getting my mother-in-law a pair for her birthday!

These shoes are great! I just bought my second pair. They're cute and comfortable but provide great support for your feet, especially your arches, so you can wear them all day with no problem. They are comfortable right out of the box. My feet are on the narrow side of average and these fit me great, true to size.

I first discovered OluKai on the Big Island of Hawaii five years ago and I now own five pair of these in different colors. I have a high arch and they are so comfortable. They can look dressy too. I keep one pair exclusively for wearing in the house as slippers. I keep the oldest pair by the back door to wear when I run out to the garden and the others I wear all summer for running to the store or out to dinner. Such a simple design that is so versatile and looks great and is very comfortable too.

Beautiful color and arch support. Unfortunately there just wasn't enough room in the straps for comfort. I didn't think I had a particularly fat foot but these were just too snug.

I bought these upon the recommendation of a friend. I had told her about my plantar fasciitis and how difficult it was to find cute summer shoes with adequate arch support. Several people recommended Vionic, but they hit me in the wrong place on my arch. Although these flip flops don't look like they would do the trick, believe me when I say they do! They perfectly fit my feet and my arch, while offering support for my heel, they are adorable, and reasonably priced! Plantar fasciitis or no, it is unlikely that I would buy a different brand of flip flop. Highly recommended!

Great fit, really comfortable. So many flip flops provide no arch support but these have great support. And I wore them all day less than a week after I received them with no blisters or uncomfortable spots!

I love these flip flops! I have a wide foot, so I oredered one full size up. I usually wear a 9 or a 9 1/2 wide or extra wide and the 10 fits me perfectly. I wore them all day yesterday for the first time and they were great! This is the first pair of flip flops I've owned that give me some support in the arch, but not so much so that it is uncomfortable. I like the gold color - it is neutral on my foot and will go with everything.

Best flip flop ever! Walked 7 miles at Disney World in these and my feet felt great compared to everyone elses in my group! Footbed gets extremely slippery when soaking wet so becareful. Best arch support.

Fit is narrow, but that is good for me. I have VERY skinny, flat feet.
The arch support is perfect. Not too much... just right.
True to size. I wear an 8 in everything and these were no exception.
The only thing that would make these cute sandals even more wonderful would be a bit more cushion.
They are a bit hard and unyielding...
Perfect for my beach days, but could not tolerate them on my feet long hour

These seem incredibly comfortable and durable with great arch support. It's like a sandal with flip-flop styling. Totally worth the money. BUT I almost always wear a size 8; this in size 8 was a little small all around. I just reordered in size 9 and excited to receive!

These flip flops are the best! I have ankle issues and have been wearing mostly birkenstocks for a while now because most regular flip flops cause my joints to flare up. With a trip to Hawaii coming up, I needed some comfy flip flops that are more beach-appropriate and these fit the bill. The footbed is cushioned and has some arch support, and the part that goes between your toes is fabric so it doesn't hurt at all. I got the black on black, and I love how the strap is sort of shiny - it makes them look nicer than plain old black flip-flops. I'm normally a size 8.5, and the 8's were a little short in the back, and the 9's were just a tad too long. I ended up keeping the 9's because I didn't want my heel hanging off the back. Wish they offered half-sizes, but other than that they are perfect! I also ordered a pair of Ho'opio's from Olukai, and those are also great.

Love this shoe! Nice arch support without being uncomfortable. No break-in period. Bought for a cruise and sight-seeing and wore them every day. Will be buying more of this brand.

I've had 4 pairs and never buy any other flip flops. Comfortable right out of the box and are supportive enough if you have plantar fasciitis!!

I LOVE these OluKai flip flops! Great arch support and they go with everything from dresses, to shorts, to swimsuits. I have these in 2 colors - the black and the gray. I wear a size 10 regular width. Sometimes I have to get a 10.5 in some brands. I ordered the size 10 here and they are perfect. I got these to replace my previous favorite flip flops - the Sanuk yoga mat flip flops - because I have a foot injury and need arch support. I thought I'd never wear a flip flop again till I found these OluKai. Yay, flip flops! Yay, summer!

I'm so glad I discovered the OluKai brand. They are the most comfortable yet still stylish sandal brand out there. I walk a lot and this brand is perfect for all terrains in hot weather. After trying Olukai's regular sandals, I decided to try the Kalupa Kai. They are amazingly comfortable with great support. I wear a size 5 and have a slightly wide toe area with narrower heels and these were a perfect fit. The variety of colors offered is amazing. I decided on the silver black and I love them. Very stylish without being flashy, I would definitely buy these again.

I love these sandals. I originally purchased because of my plantar fasciitis but it is gone now. After wearing the proper sandals like these, I have been good for a few years now. I have the bright pink which are finally looking worn out. I am ordering another pair for this summer. I usually wear a 9.5 but take these in a 9. I have a normal width but a very high arch and these are perfect!
