I have these in three colors. They are my favorite flip-flops, maybe even my favorite summer shoes. When I tried them on I simply could not take them off. I can wear them all day and my feet feel great. They have wonderful arch support. This new style is more comfortable, sleeker, and prettier than other Olukais. I usually wear an 8½, but an 8 fits perfectly. I would say that they run about half a size large.

I love these! I always wear flip flops, but had a severe knee injury last summer, and my physical therapist said I have to wear things with more arch support. After looking in vain, I came upon these, and they have support, and are so pretty! I ordered yellow, because I can never find flip flops in that color! Love them so much I just ordered two more, in different colors.

Very comfortable. Great arch support for a flip flop style. Light in weight and doesn't slap when you walk. Washable and great in wet conditions.

I had a pair of these in black and I loved them! So, I ordered a pair in brown. I have plantar fasciitis and these have great arch support. Also, the sole is not slick so my foot doesn't slide all around like with some flip flops. I do believe the run a half to full size smaller than most shoes. I usually can wear a size 10 in a flip flop but had to get a size 11 in these.

The most comfortable flip flops I've ever worn! True to size, but do run more narrow than most - perfect for my narrow feet. Love the arch support.

Sizing is right on with the Kulapa. The straps are tight, have to break them in. I love this shoe because it has great support for high arches and is not a "wide" sandal, it's just like a regular flip flop, but with great support!

Bought these for a recent trip - worth every penny. I have fairly narrow feet with long toes and they fit perfectly (size 9). I also like Chaco sandals and Rainbow for the arch support, and these did not disappoint. Well made, will buy more.

I have many Olukai flip-flops, and this style does seem a bit narrower than usual. It also seems shorter. Part of that is that there is a different color rim on the outside and may appear shorter due to that, but my heel is right on the edge of the back when I wear my usual size. The strap is more delicate-looking than the other Olukais I have, and the sole is a bit harder so the arch support, which is the same great support, does appear to be more pronounced. But the sole still has good "squish" and I walked a couple of hours in them and they felt good. The colors are very pretty. I want the Kelly green sole, but they are out of my size. Very sad.

I ordered black in size 9 (my regular size is 8.5). The sandals fit okay, but the light fabric straps coupled with relatively heavy and inflexible soles made them awkward to walk in - almost like flippers. The arch support seemed awkward, too - the whole breadth of the sole is raised/thicker in the middle, which made my feet feel squished and uncomfortable when standing. For this reason I selected "no arch support" because it is ineffective. I have worn other OluKai sandals before, and did not have either problem with these. Returning these.

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 had a knee issue which ended up a total joint replacement. These are the best! I have three pair and fortunately, living in Hawaii we wear "slippers" year-round. The weeks before the surgery and during my recovery these always felt, and continue to feel, great! I have been wearing flip-flops ("slippers" in Hawaii)for the 34 years I have been here. The OluKai Kulapa Kai W is the best! And of course, Zappos is also the best!

These are great flip flops. I have a narrow foot and these fit me perfectly. I also always need to wear shoes with good support fur to foot problems which usually means I can't wear flip flops. These are great. Great support and really comfy.

These are the most comfortable flip flops I have ever worn, and I have tried all the major names. The arch support is so good, I can wear them all day at a theme park and my feet are fine. This is my second pair and I know I will continue to get them in different colors.

Exactly what I was looking for to wear all the time around the house and out too! I suffer from chronic feet problems and these provide great arch support and are very comfortable! I tried 4 pair and these were the winner!

Love OluKai! If I lived someplace where I could wear them all year long, I would! The little shimmer to the top adds some pizazz.

I love these sandals! I have three pair because they fit and support my foot so good. I wear orthotics and need this extra support in a sandal. They are durable, easy/quick to wash/dry (I do it by hand). I've never had any sore spots or rubbing from day one. I do order a half size larger than my normal size. I will be ordering more and highly recommend them.

I usually have a hard time finding flip flops that fit. I have a narrow foot and most flip flops don't stay on my feet. These are perfect and they look good too. Will order more in different colors. Oh, they are super comfortable.

Super comfy. Unfortunately developed squeak after 3 days of wear. Delamination? Otherwise great walking sandals. Squeak, squeak.

I love this brand of flip flop. I know that these aren't cheap, but you truly get what you pay for. These flip flops provide excellent arch support. I never recommend to order a size up but for this brand it is a must!

These are the best flip-flops ever. They are cushioned, not too tall, no cutting with strap, and did I mention cushioned? The adorable aqua color shows through and gives a pop to any outfit. I would buy them over and over.

I normally wear a 6 1/2 in regular shoes and took the advise of many reviewers and sized up and ordered a 7. It was way too big, the 6 fits perfectly. Super comfortable, but be aware that the arches are high. Also the straps are snug, hoping they will stretch quickly, but I do have wide feet so that may be why they are tight otherwise the width is generous. Rubber insole is soft and feels nice to stand on.

I love how these flip-flops actually conform to the shape of my foot and I feel like they're a little more graceful than your average Old Navy five-dollar ones. They're not wide and they don't flop. The fabric that goes between your toes is really comfortable, too. Couldn't be happier with my purchase!

This was my first pair of OluKai and I was ready to love them. I was really looking forward to the arch support - which they do have. However, I really need a half size. The 10 is too wide & arch hits too shallow. The 9 is too short & arch hits too deep. Sad.
