Customer Reviews OluKai Kulapa Kai

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.

Some wearers have mentioned that the width is rather narrow and that the straps can be tight across the foot. To them I say Thank You! I have a very hard time finding flips to fit my narrow, thin feet. Most of them are less floppy and much too floppy. These are close to being a perfect fit. If the straps were just a bit tighter, they'd be perfect. Still, with the turned up toe, I don't have to curl my toes to keep these on my feet. If the straps don't stretch out they'll last me a good long time. The arches are nice and high, too.

I loved the footbed. It was great for my high arches. Unfortunately the strap was too high so my foot didn't fit right. Back they go...I am going to try another style - hopefully there is one for skinny feet.

The narrow strap makes this less comfortable than other OluKai flips that I have. It's okay, but just. Not one that I could wear all day.

This is the first time I have bought an OluKai shoe, and it was a good decision. Excellent arch support. I thought at first that it was too much, but my feet just had to get used to it. They will be on my feet all summer! Only 4 stars because the toe strap is getting dirty due to the light color, so I'll have to scrub it occasionally.

Great fit overall but a little short; however would be too big to go a whole size larger so I am keeping them. These fit my slightly wider feet a lot better than any Chacos I tried. Also, they are lighter so my feet don't get as tired.

While on vacation I had complained that my sneakers were not providing the support I needed. I suffer from plantar faciatis. We happened across the flip flops and they were perfect. I wore them the whole time. They fit the bill perfectly.

Got these for my girlfriend, & she wears them everywhere. Had to send 1st pair back to get larger size, run 1 size small. She usually wears a 6, had to get 7, 6 were too short.

Olukais used to be amazing. Now they do not fit as well and do not provide as much arch support. It?s time to look for new slippers that can be casual and functional.

I had high hopes for these but felt like there were a little blah and ordinary. Other OluKai styles are much more comfortable to keep these.

The last time i ordered this style was 4 yrs ago, unfortunately the company has changed it's sizing on this style so they are running about 1/4" shorter. Since the sandal only comes in whole sizes, going up a size made the them too large, especially on my one foot that is slightly smaller. Will be try the Paniolo style again, hopefully this one hasn't been resized!

Runs very small and has very little arch support

fit was small

Foot bed was wonderful, but the inner strap cut in too close to my foot and rubbed. Straps felt like plastic. Had to return.

I've ordered and kept many pairs in this style in the same size. These do not have the same feel in the footbed. It doesn't seem to have the same amount of cushioning as the others. It also feels snugger on my foot than the previous ones in exactly the same size. This is disappointing since I have trouble finding shoes that do not bother my feet.

I bought these in a size 8, my usual size but they were small. Also, the arch support was less than expected so I returned them.

Im surprised by the number of rave reviews for this shoe - I bought it because im pregnant and need support but also because i have sweaty feet and need a sandal i wouldnt slip and slide in. Boy was this the WRONG sandal to get. First its tiny, i suggest going a size or two up (im typically a 8.5 i went to 10 because they are tiny). Second, the place where your foot goes has this sort of soft slimy material that when combined with even slightly sweaty feet basically turns into a slip and slide. The support was good but the constant sliding inside the sandal from the sweat was super uncomfortable and kinda gross. I do not recommend this shoe. A pity as my husband was raving about Olukai’s (he loves his).

For those looking for a lot of arch support, you might like this style. It was too much for me.

They just weren't substantial enough, too thin. Nice red, kind of orange red

These are the epitome of comfort when it comes to flip flops — a pair of FitFlops I’d bought gave me blisters within minutes of wearing them. Unfortunately, these shoes had too much arch support. I returned them and got the Ho’opio, which seem to be much better, with just the right amount of support.

I purchased these because my old pair needed replacing. Sad to say sizing has changed over the years. My old sandals still clearly state size 10M. They fit absolutely perfect. So I ordered a size 10M, they are approximately 3/4 of an inch shorter. Very disappointed.
