Customer Reviews OluKai Kulapa Kai

Like the Ohana design better than the Kulapa Kai. The heel on the Kulapa Kai is too low for the back of my foot and an odd fit compared to the Ohana.

Felt fine wearing around the house and the first day in Hawaii. Then started to rub and had to wear them with a bandaid. The cheaper pair these replaced were more comfortable.

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.

I need to get a half size up perhaps but I am a size 8 always so bummed a bit!

I initially gave these flip-flops a good review in May, however now that I have worn them for a few months they actually make my feet very sore. I have owned this style in leather in the past and have had great results, but since they no longer made them i purchased these as a substitute. I have decided to go back to their leather option flip-flops in hopes of more support and comfort for my feet.

The straps on these flip flops are very tight. I really font understand this company. One style of sandals will have extremely tight straps and another will be extremely loose. I am not ordering them anymore.

I purchased these flip flops because someone recommended them for people with plantar fasciitis. The flip flops have a nice look to them and I believe they will be durable. However, I found them very uncomfortable - the straps rubbed my feet raw from a short walk. Also, they do not have enough arch support for plantar fasciitis. If you do not have foot problems and are looking for a cute flip flop, go with a less expensive brand. If you have foot problems, then try another brand.

Runs small and no half sizes! Disappointed! Need to return!

They dye your feet - never get leather ones! They are awful and will dye your feet if get even a little wet!

At first I loved these flip flops. They were super comfortable right out of the box. But after wearing them for a week I noticed a pain develop on the outside of my foot, through my ankle and up my shin. My physical therapist said it was Peroneal Tendonitis caused by the arch in the flip flop. A few days after switching back to my old flip flops the pain was gone. Too bad I cannot return them because they weren't cheap!

These are not even remotely classy or elegant or whatever good words other reviewers wrote that made me buy this thinking it will look pretty. And why they are not pretty is because the sole is so wide, as if they were men's shoes, you have on both side of the foot almost 1 centimeter too much! To that, the shine of the strap is not remarkable enough to make them look more than "blah." The comfort: these are the first flip-flops that hurt the upper bones of my foot, where the strap goes along, and they do not hurt because of the rubbing, but because of the pull down they produce on the bones. As if they were so heavy! But they are not. I guess the position of the strap is not well-thought. In summer I only wear flip-flops so I have been through all the brands, starting with Kalso Earth to Orthaheel and ending with New Balance Minimus Vibram Soles flip-flops that are still the most comfortable and stylish that I ever wore and are still OK after three years of wear and never any smell! It is a pity that they are discontinued!
