I bought these to wear with two casual Maxi dresses that I recently purchased through Zappos. They match perfectly. I also own a pair of these in Black. Both pair are very comfortable with no break in period. I would order again in other colors.

These are the best flip-flops out there. They are comfortable and stylish with great support. I wear them all day without my feet getting tired. They feel a little short at first but they stretch into a perfect fit.

First, I love Zappos! Thank you for always having my color & size! Your customer service and ease of returns/exchanges are unmatched! Love this sandal, I have tried them all -- really tried them all -- this one was perfect out of the box and from a busy mom, this just gave me time back to be able to shop online instead of chasing store to store for at the very least my size! worth every penny!

The most comfortable flip-flops I've ever had. The arch and support of the foot bed is perfect. In fact I have already 2 more in different colors.

Love these! First time I have found flip flops with a decent arch. Wish they came in a slide version as I would prefer that.

OK... Here's the Real Deal! for us 1/2 size people ~ I'm a true 7 1/2 with a narrow foot high arch. I purchased the Kulapa Kai & I'a in both 7&8 ... both styles were the same in fit, width & great arch support. The 7's are snugger strap wise than the 8 not much but you can tell the difference & arch support is ever so slightly positioned differently because of that 1/2in. So if you have a thicker foot or any swelling because of foot problems go for size 8. It's a shame they don't make 1/2 size's, it would just make it easier to get the true proper fit for your foot.

I loved the comfort of these sandals, but the shimmer on the material makes them look like cheap flip flops. I had to return them and look for something not so shiny.

Very comfortable! I bought these as pool shoes and can tell I'll get a lot of use out of them. Also love the coral color.

This sandal feels great right out of the box. There is no breaking in period. I have several pairs of these and they provide excellent arch support.

I have a high arch. I usually don't have arch support from flip flops. No longer so, these sandals are so very comfortable and have wonderful arch support.

My new favorite. I had a recent run-in with pain in my arches from what I believe was wearing regular old flat flip-flops. These have amazing arch support, soft footbeds and soft lined straps. The first pair I got was slightly tight and mildly rubbed my feet for two days on the straps, but the leather loosened up quickly to a perfect comfortable fit. The first pair I got was white and I wore them almost every day and they started to look dirty, so I bought another pair in the bright purple. I will live in them all summer.

I really like these flip flops -- they hug the foot while providing a supportive, firm footbed. I lost (well they were taken by someone) these at a concert at Red Rocks (CO) a few weeks ago and they were brand new. It took me a few weeks to buy them again, after the pain of losing them on maybe their 3rd time out! But I need a durable, proper fitting pair of flip flops. These are the ticket.

I own many pairs of this brand of flip-flops. Most are the style Ohana. I did not like the fit of this style quite as much. They are awesome looking and have that wonderful arch support that OluKai is known for, but I feel that they run a tad short and the straps seem tighter on my foot than on the Ohana. When I first put these on, it felt like I had new sandals on - when I put a brand new pair of Ohanas on, they feel like they are already broken in. I love my OluKais and will never wear any other kind of flip-flop. Just so you know, my regular size is 9½. In OluKais I always order a 9.

These are awesome flip flops! The straps are a little thinner which helps them not look so clunky. Lots of support, comfy and nice looking - what more can you ask for?

Love this sandal! This was an impulse buy and they quickly became my favorite summer sandal. They have great arch support (for a sandal) and are super comfortable. I bought the blue and love it. Highly recommend!

Really like these shoes. I did have to order up, which I think is not what most have said. Normally 7.5 medium; 7.0 did not work, 8.0 is great. Have worn these multiple, multiple times since receiving.

If you want great support, like wearing tennis shoes, theses are the sandals. There is no need to break them in. They felt good from day one. My usual size 8 was true to size. I love to wear these when I need to walk a lot on concrete (like shopping). These are the best supportive sandals that I have found.

Straps are looser than the straps on Ohana. Straps are tooloose for me. I've been wearing Ohana's for years and thought I'd try these, but because the straps are too long, they aren't supportive enough. I wear a size 11.

If you have always had trouble wearing flip flops for extended time, this is the shoe for you. I have three pairs in different colors and I love them. They have unbelievable arch support, don't rub anywhere and I don't have heel pain when I wear these. First thing I step into in the morning and last thing I step out of at night.

This is a very comfortable flip with an unusually high amount of support for your foot. It has a formed foot bed. The advantage of this is that the flip doesn't smack when you are walking. The top strap is nicely lined and comfortable.
At first I thought it almost had too much arch support, but after wearing the shoe a couple days, I thought it was perfect. I wear 8 1/2 but had to order a 9 since they don't come in half sizes, and it was perfect.

Finally, a supportive flip flip that hugs my foot. I have worn and liked some mushy / cushy flip flops, but while they are soft, they don't have enough support. My pet peeve is a flip flip that starts out with a good fit and stretches out in the first few wearings. These certainly seem to be made of a material that will hold its form and not stretch too easily. The footbed on these is firmer and yet still quite soft and comfortable. The straps hug my feet just right and don't move or rub at all. I usually wear a 9 and ordered a 9. I am happy with the fit.

At first I loved these flip flops. They were super comfortable right out of the box. But after wearing them for a week I noticed a pain develop on the outside of my foot, through my ankle and up my shin. My physical therapist said it was Peroneal Tendonitis caused by the arch in the flip flop. A few days after switching back to my old flip flops the pain was gone. Too bad I cannot return them because they weren't cheap!

These are fantastic flip flops, with nice arch support. They aren't perfect for my feet, so I am returning to try another pair of them. I highly recommend them, however!

I love these. I wear flip flops all year round, around the house, to the beach, and everywhere in between. I also have plantar fasciitis, so I can't just grab whatever $5 pair I happen to stumble across. These are the perfect combination of support and cushion, they are lightweight and flexible without being floppy, and offer solid support without being bulky or lumpy. In the past I've worn mostly Chaco (great support, but hard and heavy), Sanuk (soft, but unsupportive), and Birkenstock (so comfortable, but so unstylish, and not waterproof). I have also tried Flojos, Oceanminded, Crocs, Sperry, Fit Flops, New Balance, Orthaheel, Reef, and even the leather styles of Olukai. (Hurray for free return shipping!). These were by far the winners. My only complaint is that they sometimes squeak a bit.

Ordered these for my wife, she was not familiar with the brand but says they may be the most comfortable sandals she's ever had. She has lots of sandals but these are her favorite and she said she would be buying more in the future.
