Love them they are a little short but keeping them and they are very comfortable and cute like others reviews on said a size up might be too big! Olukiai are great sandals!

Just received these and I know they will be my go to sandal for summer. Tuns of support and the pale blue/bold blue is absolutely adorable! I wear a size 8 1/2 and ordered the 9 and the fit was perfect.

Another perfect Olukai... I needed a simple black flip and this fit the bill perfectly. Excellent fit, arch support and design. It takes me forever to find shoes that I love but this was my go to flip immediately.. :-)

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.

My shoe size is true size 8. However with this style size 8 does not fit securely. This is my 4th pair of these sandals and I buy size 7. My feet feel secure and I fill out the space and my foot doesn’t hang over. They are the only flip flop style that I can wear all day without metatarsal pain. So well worth the price!

I think these shoes are cute. I own 2 other pairs of OluKai footwear, and even though I purchased my usual size they seem too narrow. My feet are not wide either. I kept them but I probably should have sent them back. My other pairs are Ohana’s. They fit perfectly.

Really beautiful flip flop but a little on the narrow side and I don’t consider my feet to be wide. It was my first olukai purchase after hearing others rave about them. Maybe I need to try another style.

Ordered a size 10 for my sister’s birthday present. Although they fit, they could have been a tad longer. She has a very narrow foot which helped ensure her heel fit nicely in the heel of the sandal, but there was no room to spare.

The size is true but the arch really pushes up on my instep. Much higher arch support than my favorite the Ho'Opio. Returning unfortunately

I liked the way these looked on my narrow feet...because the shoe is slim and not bulky. The arch support was lacking for me....I have a very high arch. I felt it ran a little short in the length. If the arch support had been more, I would have kept the size 7...foot not over edges...but to the ends with perhaps 1/8 inch to spare. Due to plantar fasciitis, really looking for arch support at this time.

I usually wear size 7 1/2 M so I ordered both 7 and 8. Size 7 was a bit too small and 8 was definitely too large. I could wear the size 7, would do better with a 7 1/2 if they made them, but have decided to re-order their Ho’opio style instead in a size 7. The Kulapa Kai are cute, funky and beachy-looking - - the toe area is extra wide & round and turns up slightly. The Ho’opio have a narrower toe area that suits my style better. I wish the arch support could come close to that of Vionics but they don’t get anywhere close but are better than nothing for my plantar faciitis.

I order a lot from my mobile device and this has a narrow strap. I could not tell but quite a bit different than Ohana. I was moving away from Ohana, as the top causes me to slip when wet (walking in wet grass or coming off boat or near pool) which is surprising for a Hawaii company. I want more of a chaco foot bed that grips a bit more, which this did not have as well. Returned.

The thong was positioned too far back causing discomfort. I so hoped these would work! No way. My Favorite casual flip flops remain to be Sanuk Yoga Mat Wander.

These are super comfortable with great support! They can be dressed up or down. I thought the sizing was a bit smaller than they should have been. I ordered a size bigger and my foot was right to the edge.

I bought these and the Ohanas to try.. while I felt decent about the arch support and these were really cute, I ultimately returned them and kept the Ohanas because these felt too tight in the straps and after wearing them around my house I had marks on my feet (and I have narrowish feet)

These felt good right out of the box. I have recently been diagnosed with a heel spur. This shoe supports my arch and cushions my heel. So glad I don’t have to give up flip flops.

The sizing or something changed!! This was my 5th pair of Olukai Kulapa Kai's, and they must have changed something about the cut and/or sizing because it's very different. I normally wear/buy size 8 in these, and the 8 felt smaller and narrower (and when I put them up against my existing pairs, they also looked smaller and narrower) than all my previous pairs. Then, I thought I'd try size 9 to see if that would work, but size 9 was WAY too big. So disappointing because I love these flip flops, and I live in them.

Great arch support, unfortunately tight across the instep. A little expensive for a simple rubber flip flop but I would have kept if had been comfortable across the top.

I wanted to love these. I buy them for my kids because I like the arch support and thought I would treat my feet to them. I like them. There is a lot more arch support than you average flip flop. I would say these are super comfy. But maybe they’re helping my feet in the long run? Also I am between an 8 1/2 and 9 I bought the 9 and the JUST fit. I am keeping them but am not 100% I’ll buy these for me again.

The arch support was nice but I have a narrow toe area and these are very wide at the toe. Compared to my Havaianas, exceedingly wide fit. Returning both pair.
