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!

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.

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.

I like the shoe - comfortable, true to size but the left shoe was defective. The toe curled up at an extreme angle, much more than the up-curve of the right shoe so they were returned.

Very disappointing that Olukai has changed the length of the size 8. Perhaps certain colors are being made at different locations? I’ve owned about 10 pairs and have always worn size 8. The size was always consistent. The navy blue is pretty but was definitely shorter in length measured against my other Olukai flip flops and my heal was off the back edge in these. Probably won’t re-order.

I’ve been wearing this style Olukai for years and the pair I just ordered was definitely smaller than previously. I’ve ordered size 9 for years but had to return them as they were too small. We’ll give the size 10 a try. This is the second style Olukai sandal that I’ve had to size up on.
