The material of these sandals is of a much lower quality than previous versions. The soles of the sandals felt like cheap foam, and the shoes looked far cheaper. I'm really disappointed, because I've worn the higher-quality version of these sandals for years. I hope they bring back the old version (and I'd be willing to pay more for it)!

With zero arch and being a runner I was looking for comfort, support but a little cushion. These are absolutely perfect. Great arch support but not too much.

I think these shoes are cute. I own 2 other pairs of OluKai footwear, and even though I purchased my usual size they seem too narrow. My feet are not wide either. I kept them but I probably should have sent them back. My other pairs are Ohana’s. They fit perfectly.

I really like OluKai flip flops except for one thing......the straps that go across my arch are a bit short. The ball of my foot is enlarged due to arthritis and short sandal straps cut into the area just above the ball of my foot making the sandal uncomfortable. These didn't work for me due to that issue. In general I love the OluKai style and the footbed is amazingly comfortable. Those darn straps!

I live in the south flip flops and sandals are a way of live. Zappos are the perfect on line store to buy shoes because if they don’t fit returns are very easy. Even so I was hesitant to buy these because I have a hard time finding any sandals or flip flops that fit my very narrow feet. These Olukai Kulapa Kai fit perfect.

These looked great. They had a comfy insole and were quiet while walking. The length and width were just right. And I would recommend these highly . I had to return them because the toe post was too far back and hurt . This problem may be peculiar to my feet. They are definitely worth trying.

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!

For what you pay, there should be much improvement. The strip of material you slip through your toes is too flimsy. They are completely flat no support. I sent back going to find another pair where I get more for my money.

I order this style as well as the Ohana W. I love the footbed of both styles but this model was a half size narrower than the Ohana W. I normally wear a AA or narrow but this shoe was too narrow. I sent this one back and kept the Ohana W, which I am extremely pleased with.

Really beautiful flip flop but a little on the narrow side and I don’t consider my feet to be wide. It was my first olukai purchase after hearing others rave about them. Maybe I need to try another style.

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.

Ok, I really never thought I would pay this much for flip flops. But after going through a couple of cheap pairs I decided they might be worth it. I tried on a pair of this brand while visiting Maui and was impressed with the feel. These did not disappoint. It did take a week to get them but it was worth the wait. The arch support is fantastic, and the footbed is very smooth, and feels like standing in firm, wet sand. The shoes are quiet and comfortable when walking. I have a somewhat thin foot of average width. Size 7 fit fine for my normally 7.5 feet. I used to walk barefoot around the house but I find myself wearing these now because of the comfort. Highly recommend and if they last, they will end up being a good value.

Love my Olukai Kulapa Kai flip flops. Have 3 pairs and wear them every where. Great look and excellent support. The perfect sandal for the beach, they wash off easily.

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!

Great sandals - I love all of my OluKai! Would like these to have a bit more support for distance walking on hard surface like sidewalks, but they are still one of my faves.

Olukai continues to produce a "slippah" with good arch support and ability to use in water. I have been wearing them for 10 years and will not wear anything else.

Foot bed was wonderful, but the inner strap cut in too close to my foot and rubbed. Straps felt like plastic. Had to return.

My sister and her husband are die hard Olukai fans and have been pestering me to give them a try. I had tried them on in a couple of surf shops but they always felt heavy and clunky. I checked the weight on this style and they were a bit lighter than other styles, so I figured I would check them out. They are not heavy and clunky! They are light and comfortable. True to size (I am a size 9 and they fit perfect). Nice arch support for my aching left heel due to plantar fasciitis. Highly recommend.
