Customer Reviews OluKai Kulapa Kai

Surprisingly comfortable for a flip flop. I am an 8.5 and ordered a 9 and the fit was perfect, would not go down a size. They stay on the foot easily and are not tight. Would buy again.

The straps were narrow enough and thin enough to be stretchy when I walked which irritated my foot. The straps felt too loose on me. It may be that my foot is narrow enough that these do not work, but I will exchange these for a thicker strap before giving up on the brand.

Those are good flip-flops, but I was looking for Kulapa Kai that have footbed lined with leather. It was my mistake, I thought that name Kulapa Kai is enough but obviously it should have "leather" added to it. I need to replace my one year old "Kulapa Kai leather" because a nylon toe post is wearing off. Sadly it is a very weak point of those sandals.

I love this!! Very comfortable.... I wish they came in 1/2 sizes. Only complaint..do not like the gray on the sandals...

Color described as red, definitely not red sorta raspberry pink.

I tried these & the Ohana. These are cuter, but feel a smidge narrower (I have wide feet). I think it might be the skinnier strap. Would love if they came in wide. Sending these back & keeping the Ohanas.

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!

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.

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

have a different pair of olukai thong in size 6, i'm 6.5, and those fit fine, but when i tried this style in a 6-too small,tried again in 7-too big. bummed i had to return,but zappos makes it easy. wish they came in 1/2 sizes

Very comfortable with the arch support that I was looking for. Worked fine for wider feet. The seafoam color is okay, but the texture of the material looks a little cheap.

I have 4 pairs of these now. Good arch support. Stylish.

In the last month I have been on a mission to find a good pair of flip flops for my new yoga daily obsession. No lie, I ordered nothing less than 8-10 pairs of flip flops to find the perfect pair. (Rainbow, Havanais, OluKais, Tory Burch) I ended up keeping these pair as my second favorite. Two things you need to know: 1) Your heel will be right at the edge to feel right. I like a little sandal past my heel, but when I ordered a size up they were way too big. 2) These shoes are slightly on the heavy side, but not nearly as heavy as my Chacos (omg, those are SO heavy). The arch support is amazing though. I ended up also ordering the OluKai Ho'opio Leather and loving them and their thin strap slightly more than these pair. But kept both because the metalic I ordered for my Ho'Opio's are perfect to dress up with other clothing and summer dresses and looking nice too. But less heavy and OH so comfortable! My new favorites!

Probably the most comfy flip-flop I've had yet, and it came highly recommended by my local Maui friends. I do think though that they should offer 1/2 sizes. I'm anywhere from 7-8 but ordered the 8 and they fit ok, just need to break them in a little. Also the straps were rubbing a bit and felt rough on my skin underneath on one of them, but now seem ok after i got them wet. Next pair I buy will be a different style, and probably a size 7.

Here on the "Valley Isle" of Maui, we grew up wearing RUBBAH SLIPPAHS so when I began experiencing sharp and stabbing heel pain on the right, it was no surprise to find out I needed arch support. It took some getting used to these OluKai's and for a while there I reverted back to my trusty slippahs but the pain was unbearable!! So I forced myself to wear these whenever I was out in my slippahs and now they are my go to - rubbah slippahs what? I no longer have debilitating heel pain and can walk for long distances in these without discomfort. I really need to invest in another pair.

Just the right amount of arch support for me, but I'm not wearing them all day. Usually, I'm just wearing them around the house, or to go to the pool.

I wear a 9½ shoe and always buy a size 9 in flip-flops, not the case with these, my heel hangs of the back a bit so I will be exchanging them for a size up.

Love the arch support and the firm fit, not sloppy like most thong styles. I wear an 8.5 and the 9 fit perfect.

After trying 14 pair of flip flops in the past 60 days, I very possibly might have finally found the right pair. Normally I would buy Orthaheel Tide, but the fit has changed since my last purchase before they bacame Vionic. This pair seems to have the arch support in the right place for my old feet. I've had plantar fasciitis for about 10 years and have arthritis in my knees and lower back. I cannot go barefoot so a comfy pair of flip flops are a necessity. Plus I live in Las Vegas and almost never wear real shoes. This year I've tried Vionics, Clarks, Crocs, New Balance, Skecher, plus others...all were highly recommended for having excellent arch support. All failed for me. I can't tell you what YOU should buy since everybody has different requirements. I'm just hoping these will work for me. If they do, I will order several more so I don't have to go through this again for awhile. I have several pair of Mephistos and Birkenstocks that don't seem to work right now. Wish me luck.

I got these to replace my much-loved but no-longer-supportive-enough Reefs. They really do fit the bill for support and comfort, and there is plenty of footbed in the forefoot area (which is not the case with a lot of flip-flops). I wear a 6½ so I ordered both 6 and 7, but the 7 was just too much extra shoe front and back - the 6 was a much better fit. The shiny pattern on the straps is much more understated and subtle than in the photo.

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.

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.

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.

I had high hopes for these to replace my spongy Tevas that turn my feet black. But these have a hard sole, and the "thong" ribbon is very small and rough - I can feel a blister forming next to my big toe just looking at it. In addition, they seem to run narrow. Look cute, but not what I was looking for.

Really love these flip flops. They're super comfortable for every day and long wear throughout the day. They have great arch support and excellent cushioning. My only complaint would be that the straps feel a little loose, otherwise I'd give it 5 stars.
