My favorite flip flops of all time! I had a pair that I literally wore to pieces over probably 10 plus years.... when I started feeling the ground through the worn footbed, I knew it was time to give in and buy a new pair. I went searching for the style based on the design on the sole, and found them on Zappos! The foot bed feels almost silky, and the arch support is fantastic. So glad they are still making this wonderful style, and I plan to buy another pair when these ones wear through in another 10 plus years ;)

Love the fit and the feel, this is my second pair by this brand and they really last a long time, well worth the price!

I am very happy with the fit and look of this sandal. Because of the fit and design, it does not make that "flop" noise when I walk. Incredible!! I can wear them with shorts or dresses, they always look great!

I love these sandals. I had tried about 5 or 6 other Olukai sandals, and this is the only one that fits me properly. It is a bit narrower, and the straps are thinner, which looks more stylish. I appreciate the arch support, since I'm in my 40's. I like it so much that I bought a 2nd color.

I always go up a size in the Kulapa Kai and they are perfect. My regular size is a little tight across the top as I have a slightly wider foot. I love this style and don't see it on OluKai's website anymore so I don't know if they are discontinuing it. So, I ordered a new pair as mine are wearing out!

I normally wear a size 8 narrow shoe, but of course it's impossible to find narrow flip flops, so I went with the 8 and they work...a tiny bit loose but my feet are ridiculously narrow. They have a moderate arch that is comfortable. I really like the color...very bright turquoise. I wish I could have found them in pink or orange as well but I found these so late in the season that most of the colors were sold out except for the black. If you go to the Olukai website, you'll find this style is one of the few that runs more narrow. Most of their sandals are made for much wider feet. So if you normally wear a B width, these should work well.

Fantastic. Fits perfectly. A little tightness between toes for first few days but then broken in. Have plantar fasciitis and never felt a twinge of pain. And stylish enough to wear with dresses. Much more stylish than Ohana and frankly even better arch support.

Love these OluKai's! This is my 2nd pair. My first pair I bought a size 11 as that was all that was left. This time I ordered the white in my normal size 10 and an 11, and again I went with the 11. While the 10 fit well, the shoe seemed short as my heel was close to the edge which I don't like and the toe strap seemed shorter which made it feel slightly tighter. On the color, I was concerned when there were questions stating that the white was creamy. The ones I receiver were very white, while the toe strap material is a little creamier. I am very happy with the white.

I have had about 5-6 pairs of Kulapa Kai's. I order new ones only b/c I wear them so much that they get too dirty. I have flat feet and used to get arch pain for certain shoes. These flip flops have made all of that better and I can't say enough good things about them. I do not leave home without them!

It fits well, is very comfortable, and provides some arch support (very unusual in this type of footwear). Great right out of the box!

I found the shoes in Maui in 2011. They’re the most comfortable flip-flop I’ve ever owned. This is the only shoe I wear about six months out of the year because I’m in California and I can get away with it. I would wear them all year long if I could. They’re worth every penny and they really support your feet well. I started out buying the leather style but now that they don’t make it anymore I am wearing the Kulapa Kai. My feet are a bit narrow and they fit perfectly. The arch support they provide is also great for flat feet.

I love these sandals! They are comfortable and have great support. I wear an 8 1/2 in shoes and a 9 in athletic shoes and I wear an 8 in these, no half sizes. Super comfortable and cut too.

I was cautiously optimistic to read other reviews that suggested they ran narrow. My feet are a normal medium width but bony. I wear a 9.5 shoe, 10 Nike sneaker so I ordered a 9 and 10 in the flip flop. The 10 was too loose and the 9 fit like a glove. So I kept the 9. The only adjustment for me is the downward slant of the heel which I find unusual. They are worth the money. Hoping in the future we will see a sole in a summer color; a color other than black.

I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find these flip flops that I had bought several years ago and figured if Zappos didn't have them, nobody would! I made the mistake of ordering the wrong style which was the Ohana and they were nowhere near the same fit as these, they were too narrow and didn't have the more cushioned footbed. If you want comfort and a thinner strap with lots of color choices....this style Kulapa Kai is the pick for you! I wear a size 8 shoe and the size 8 sandal is a perfect fit, also I have wider feet and a bit higher arch and these are so comfy and perfect! The black/black goes with everything and I like that the top strap is a bit shiny so it makes it a bit dressier for a night out with black shorts and cute top! And coming from Zappos, you know it will be fast shipping and easy returns just in case!

I own several different styles of Olukai sandals -- Kumu, I'a, Ohana and Ho'opio. I find these Kulapa Kai and the I'a (no longer produced, but seemingly identical in style to the Kulapa Kai) to have the best arch support of all -- at least they work for me. Olukai sandals are of consistently high quality.

These flip flops are so cute and comfortable! I have a collapsed arch on one foot and these flip flops are pretty comfortable to walk in. I have a hard time finding flipflops that are not ""super flat" while also maintaining style. I highly recommend these!

Bought these last year. I have high arches and struggled to find any flip flops I liked. I LOVE these. Love them so much I am buying another pair this year. I also love that I can wash them and they look like new. Never thought I would write a review about flip flops but these are not your average summer shoes!

I love this shoe. The arch support is very good (I have very high arches). I've owned this shoe before and, even while having multiple pairs of flip-flops, I wore this one down to nothing in 2 years.

I first discovered OluKai on the Big Island of Hawaii five years ago and I now own five pair of these in different colors. I have a high arch and they are so comfortable. They can look dressy too. I keep one pair exclusively for wearing in the house as slippers. I keep the oldest pair by the back door to wear when I run out to the garden and the others I wear all summer for running to the store or out to dinner. Such a simple design that is so versatile and looks great and is very comfortable too.

I bought these upon the recommendation of a friend. I had told her about my plantar fasciitis and how difficult it was to find cute summer shoes with adequate arch support. Several people recommended Vionic, but they hit me in the wrong place on my arch. Although these flip flops don't look like they would do the trick, believe me when I say they do! They perfectly fit my feet and my arch, while offering support for my heel, they are adorable, and reasonably priced! Plantar fasciitis or no, it is unlikely that I would buy a different brand of flip flop. Highly recommended!

I love these sandals. I originally purchased because of my plantar fasciitis but it is gone now. After wearing the proper sandals like these, I have been good for a few years now. I have the bright pink which are finally looking worn out. I am ordering another pair for this summer. I usually wear a 9.5 but take these in a 9. I have a normal width but a very high arch and these are perfect!

I wear 6 1/2 and 7 fit fine. Cute flip flop but also feels like you could do some long walks in them. I'm thinking about getting another pair
