i have very high arches and cheap flip flops don't do it for me. i purchased these sandals based on the recommendation from a friend and they are Fabulous! i wear them when i get home from work to
keep my feet supported and feel like i could waitress in these shoes if i had to do so. i am a solid 7 and these
hit my arch perfectly. also, the packaging was eco and shipping free. i have a feeling that i will wear these sandals for a very long time unless i leave them at the top of the dune at Newcomb hollow beach.....

I finally tried these after a friend raved about how comfortable Olukai
are. I'm an 8.5 and I got the 8&9, the 9 for better for me. Nice arch support without being too high.

True Hawaiian style - these are so comfortable out of the box, that I own TWO colors - aqua and bougainvillea!! Perfect for beach, grocery shopping, to/fro yoga studio. Arch is supportive but not too high for my low arch (have tried Vionic, which is too high for my low arch). I also have a bunion on my left foot; this style sits just below it, unlike the Ohana style which hit right on the edge of the bunion. Cute, cute, cute!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!

I have ordered many shoes from Zappos because I know that if there is a problem, they will fix it. I bought these sandals to wear to my son's wedding in Maui. Everyone is going to wear flip flops and these match my mother-of- the groom dress perfectly. They are very comfortable with adequate arch support and fit generously. I recommend them highly.

Why did I wait so long?? I have been in need of new black flip flops for months and have been considering these for a long time. Just couldn't get over the hurdle of paying more than $20 for flips but I am so happy I did! These are hands down the most comfortable I've ever owned. Great arch support and cushion. I had back surgery 7 months ago and really need a comfort shoe but not ready to commit to ortho-looking options. I am a solid 8 1/2 and went with the 8 - just personal preference. The 9 fit fine too but I don't like too much shoe showing in the front. I have a wide foot and high in step and these work great for me.
Love this shoe and will buying some for my mom for Christmas!

Love these flip flops! I have a narrow (2A) foot with a bunion and plantar fasciitis and these work great and provide excellent arch support for high arches. I have had trouble finding comfortable narrow shoes all my life. I wore Munros but needed arch support for pf so please keep these on the market! I wish the straps were a little tighter for my narrow feet but these work. I also like Cobian flip flops but they squish down eventually and loose the arch support. These are keepers! Thank you!

Love these flip flops! I have super high arches requiring orthodicts for support. I usually can't wear flip flops but discovered this brand while vacationing Oahu, Hawaii. Best support ever, super comfortable, and lasts forever! I wear a 9 in OluKai, usually wear a 9.5.

I purchased my first pair of Olukais a month ago and loved them! Ordered 2 more pairs last week! If you're having trouble with plantar fasciitis or even arthritis in your feet, give them a try! They've helped me tremendously!

OluKai are the best flip-flops. They provide great arch support and are very easy to walk in right out of the box. They are the only flip-flops that my wide and high arch feet can walk all day in.

Comfortable, supportive, and good looking! Definitely worth the money for a great pair of flip flops. I chose these over the ones with wider straps after trying both because these are just as comfortable and can be dressed up a bit.

I have a high arch. I usually don't have arch support from flip flops. No longer so, these sandals are so very comfortable and have wonderful arch support.

Love this sandal! This was an impulse buy and they quickly became my favorite summer sandal. They have great arch support (for a sandal) and are super comfortable. I bought the blue and love it. Highly recommend!

This is a very comfortable flip with an unusually high amount of support for your foot. It has a formed foot bed. The advantage of this is that the flip doesn't smack when you are walking. The top strap is nicely lined and comfortable.
At first I thought it almost had too much arch support, but after wearing the shoe a couple days, I thought it was perfect. I wear 8 1/2 but had to order a 9 since they don't come in half sizes, and it was perfect.

I have spent a few years now trying to replace my old Chacos, but the new Chacos just do not fit the same. And I have super high arches, so I need really great support if I am going to wear these all day and every day. These are amazing - they felt incredible from the moment that I put them on and I do not want to take them off. I purchased them at a beach shop today and now tonight I am online ready to buy at least one more pair in a cute color. I am throwing out my old Chacos as well as my two pairs of Tevas. Also, I am normally a size 8½, which means in Tevas I have to wear a 9. But the 8 in these shoes fits perfectly!

Extremely comfortable. I wear these all the time here in Southern California. The arch support is pretty high, which is great for me, but is something to be aware of for the shopper. The straps sweep back at a nice angle, and the footbed doesn't get all sweaty. They're a little pricey but worth it! I only wish there were a lot more colors to choose from.

I never had a pair of flip flops with arch support! These are awesome. I have flat feet and at first they were uncomfortable pushing on my arches. (Or lack of) But after only 2 days, they have become the best flip flops EVER!! I highly recommend them.

If you have high arches and narrow feet - these are the most comfortable shoes. The design supports my high arch unlike over flip flops. Cost more but last a long time and very comfy!

Best flip flops ever! These are great. They have arch support and the detailing on the leather straps dress them up a little from the average flip flop. Highly recommend. True to size.

I am a dog groomer and am on my feet all day. I was having back and hip problems and now wear my Olukai's every day. I must have purchased 10 pair in the last 4 or 5 years. All colors, like Ohana the best. Everyone seems to be buying larger, I started purchasing a smaller size, works better for me.

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!

Worth every penny. I bought these flip flops for a vacation. I wore heck out of them and they were super comfortable with arch support. They are nice enough to wear with a dress for a casual dinner. I got the white ones and they clean-up very well. I thought I was crazy to spend so much on flip flops but I would highly recommend these. I usually wear a 7-1/2 the 7 fit fine.

I have several pair of Olukai sandals and purchased the Kulapa Kai W for the first time. The length and width was a perfect 8 -- I have a wide foot and the sandal was the perfect width -- no toe overhanging the sides of the sandal. These don't have the same degree of arch support that the Ohana does, but is still comfortable and can be worn all day. I like the snug fit of these straps versus the Ohana and I'm online ready to purchase another color. The bleached shell is so pretty in person.

I have worn this brand of flip flops since discovering them seven years ago, I have a high arch and they are worth every penny. I was bummed about two years ago when they changed the fit to a wide sloppy fit. This new style is back to the tighter narrower fit, I am so very happy. Quality is excellent as always, arch support fabulous. Just wish there were even more color choices.
