Customer Reviews OluKai Kulapa Kai

I ordered a bunch of OluKai flip flops and after trying them all on, this one was the winner. I have a medium to wide foot, and these fit perfectly. I liked that the straps on these are more narrow than on the Ohana, although the Ohana was absolutely the most comfortable of all the ones I tried on. This one is a very close second and looks better on my foot.

These were a bit tight straight out of the box but after a few hours around the house they are perfect now!

Great pair of arch supportive flip flops. Although they may be more expensive than most flip flops, these will last a long time. 2 big thumbs up!

I find it amazing that a "flip flop" provides very good arch support. These shoes are very comfortable and the lack of the usual "flip flop" sound when walking is pleasing. I would recommend these shoes highly.

I wear a 6.5 almost always but occasionally a 7 narrow-the size 6 was too short for me but these flip-flops do appear to cater to a medium or slightly narrow foot and I am hopeful that the 7 will fit well.

Based on all the reviews here, I couldn't wait for my pair to arrive. Ordered the Petal/Orchard. Very cute in person. Put them on...and ow! The strap between the toes hurt immediately. Wore them 5 minutes on carpet in house and couldn't wait to get them off. Also felt narrow...and I've never had to return shoes for being too narrow. I need a strong arch support for my duck-flat feet. These soles were very soft/comfortable, not not enough support for my arches...bummer. They are cute, but I'm returning as they are too costly to not be perfectly comfortable.

The podiatrist suggested this flip flop to me because it has good support. I have a narrow, low volume foot (i.e.,Naot's elegant collection fits me) and this fits well. No pain, all gain. I was a bit concerned that the white would look bad fast, but I've been wearing them for a month now and they still look nice.

Second Pair of OluKai flip flops. My first pair where gray soles, white straps...and I wore them into the ground. Unlike Sanuks, these have really good arch support. So if you're doing a lot of walking, these are the ones to take with you. Unlike Rainbows, these never cause your feet to be dyed brown when it rains. Also, in really sweaty places, I've had Rainbows give me horrible blisters during long walks. This particular pair has great accenting for a bit of a more posh look to your basic leather strappies. Easily my favorite pair to wear post pedicure, long hikes, etc. I would not recommend these for the beach, because sand just destroys everything and these are expensive. Hands down the best flip flop around. I'm usually in between a size 7.5 - 8. I went with the 8's for these because the heels just don't rub then. I do not think if you have particularly wide feet these would be good for you. I'm by no means a narrow foot, just average, but one of the best things about the Kulapa Kai is that it slides on and just hugs you. Wide feet might feel pinched.

I love these sandals! I bought 3 pair last year and just added the pink! Last year's pairs still look like new and provide great arch support. No need to wear any other brand!

Recovering from foot injury and wanted some support. These worked well even when walking a lot with no break in.

I usually wear a 9 1/2 and the 9 fits fine. There arch is very supportive, just what I need in a shoe. I honestly bought these to wear around the house as much as outside. I had a hard time between the leather ones and the non-leather. Both are very comfortable and these didn't need a 'breaking in' period. The straps on these have a little 'shine' to them and look slightly more feminine than the brown leather ones.

Felt fine wearing around the house and the first day in Hawaii. Then started to rub and had to wear them with a bandaid. The cheaper pair these replaced were more comfortable.

I have been wearing these daily for one year and it is time to replace them as I am an overweight person. I love them! The first day that I wore them I thought the arch felt too high as I have flatter feet, but I am seriously glad that I gave them a chance because after wearing them for three days they felt perfect! They are worth the price if you need extra support and comfort for standing/walking for extended periods! I wear an 8-8½B and these in an 8 are perfect.

As a Californian, I wear flip-flops pretty much all day, every day. This time, I upgraded from Tevas and I'm very happy. These OluKais offer a completely different level of support. Because they are leather, they look more upscale for nicer outfits. Though I haven't had any stains after 2 months of use, I would guess that I can't throw these in the washer like I did with the Tevas. So I will probably leave the OluKais home when I plan to traipse through dirt and mud. These are definitely worth buying for both everyday use and casual going-out occasions.

This product has great arch support, which is what I wanted. Having the design on the straps does class up the flip flop a little bit, which I like. I have not had a chance to test durability for everyday use or how well they perform on the beach. They are not too heavy.

These are not even remotely classy or elegant or whatever good words other reviewers wrote that made me buy this thinking it will look pretty. And why they are not pretty is because the sole is so wide, as if they were men's shoes, you have on both side of the foot almost 1 centimeter too much! To that, the shine of the strap is not remarkable enough to make them look more than "blah." The comfort: these are the first flip-flops that hurt the upper bones of my foot, where the strap goes along, and they do not hurt because of the rubbing, but because of the pull down they produce on the bones. As if they were so heavy! But they are not. I guess the position of the strap is not well-thought. In summer I only wear flip-flops so I have been through all the brands, starting with Kalso Earth to Orthaheel and ending with New Balance Minimus Vibram Soles flip-flops that are still the most comfortable and stylish that I ever wore and are still OK after three years of wear and never any smell! It is a pity that they are discontinued!

I have spent a few years now trying to replace my old Chacos, but the new Chacos just do not fit the same. And I have super high arches, so I need really great support if I am going to wear these all day and every day. These are amazing - they felt incredible from the moment that I put them on and I do not want to take them off. I purchased them at a beach shop today and now tonight I am online ready to buy at least one more pair in a cute color. I am throwing out my old Chacos as well as my two pairs of Tevas. Also, I am normally a size 8½, which means in Tevas I have to wear a 9. But the 8 in these shoes fits perfectly!

I live in flip flops during the summer. I have worn a few different brands, keen and reef, and these are by far my favorite! They really have decent arch report compared to other flip flops. They didn't get stinky half way through summer like my reefs. They hold up to being thrown in the wash machine. And they are extra cute with the shimmery strap.

These flip-flops are great! So comfortable and with good support. I can walk my 2 75+ pound dogs with these on and my feet don't slip or slide and don't hurt!

If this is your first pair of OluKais, then welcome to the club. If you run half a size then go up unless you like them a bit on the smaller side. I am an 8½ and I wear the 9. I have quite a few pairs and have introduced them to friends and family. Everyone says they are the most comfortable flip-flop ever. Enjoy!

The most comfy flip flops! I was a Havaiana devotee for years but have finally admitted they don't do my middle-aged feet any favors due to the nonexistent support and minimal cushioning. These have both of those in spades and are super cute to boot.

Extremely comfortable. I wear these all the time here in Southern California. The arch support is pretty high, which is great for me, but is something to be aware of for the shopper. The straps sweep back at a nice angle, and the footbed doesn't get all sweaty. They're a little pricey but worth it! I only wish there were a lot more colors to choose from.

I never had a pair of flip flops with arch support! These are awesome. I have flat feet and at first they were uncomfortable pushing on my arches. (Or lack of) But after only 2 days, they have become the best flip flops EVER!! I highly recommend them.

I can wear and 8, 8 1/2, or 9 depending on the shoe. I purchased the 8 and 9. The look of the shoe is wonderful and the sole appeared to be comfortable, but I couldn't wear it very long. The 9 was too long. The 8 was the perfect length, but it was too narrow. After a short while, about 2 minutes I had extreme pain under the outside edge of my right foot. I'm very disappointed, because I need to find something similar to this that can get wet and doesn't slip on wet surfaces. Regular flip-flops slide like you're on ice. I was at Dollywood and it rained and I had to walk slowly holding onto a stroller.

Love these shoes! Very comfy! Casual but not too casual to wear with some sun dresses.
