I own a few olukai sandals. While these are priced like their leather sandals, they are nowhere near the quality. They were foam and sat crooked on my foot.

Stylish flip flop sandal with arch support. I wear these all over during the summer months.

Loved them so much I just ordered a new pair—6 years later. The original ones are still fine even after that much use.

This was my second time buying this exact flip-flop. I thought they were overpriced (I mean they're flip flops) when I bought the first pair, but they lasted about 7 years and I still loved them, so they were worth it. I was thrilled to see they are still making them. The fit of my new pair seems slightly smaller than the first pair, but thankfully not too small. The footbed is so soft, with just the right amount of cushion. They hug my feet like a glove. At first I wasn't sure about the slightly sparkly look, but it grew on me. I wear a lot of black skirts in the summer so these go with pretty much everything and are my everyday summer sandals.

I have wide feet and bunions. This flip flop fits perfectly and has great arch support. Why is OluKai discontinuing them? Everyone gives this flip flop excellent reviews, why try to fix what’s not broken?

I have severe foot arthritis and can rarely wear flip flops or sandals. These are so soft and supportive, that I can wear these on a hot day and they are cute.

I’ve purchased many Olukai. Love the comfort and color selection. My sister had never worn any so I let her try mine on. She loved how they felt and I ended up giving them to her.

Could these be the holy grail of flip flops?!? I have tight calves/achilles tendons with flat feet that battle plantar fasciitis flare ups. Most flip flops have no support. The ones that do have support are usually heavy which make my calves ache. These are the perfect combination of light weight and supportive. Size up to nearest size if you’re in between. Highly recommend!

Good overall. Reliable size and fit. These past a long time and are worth the money for a solid wearable flip flop.

I normally wear a size 9 but ordered these Olukai sandals in size 10 and I am glad I did so my heal would not hang off the back. The silver color is nice and goes with a lot of outfits and can be dressed up or down so you can pack less shoes on your trips. Also the price was very good.

Excellent comfort and quality appears the same as a pair I purchase in Hawaii 10 years ago. Just as comfortable right out of the box. My old pair is still going strong and I even wash them in the washing machine every season ?. The only comment is that the size 9 seems snug. I’m an 8.5 and usually size down for flip flops and sandals, and since up for shoes and boots. My old paid of size 8 Kalupa Kai must have stretched out because the new size 9 pair is snug. Regardless, like all Kalupa Kai these are comfortable right out of the box. No breaking in period, no irritation from the toe post. They go from box to a 5 mile hike and you won’t even remember you’re wearing “new shoes”. The uppers are lined and soft on the foot so the straps don’t rub or dig into the foot anywhere. The soles are as grippy and strong as sneaker and I’ve worn Kalupa Kai’s on hikes, boating and beaches all with excellent comfort and support. The footbed is unique from other olu kai in that it has a very squishy padded bed. It is the most comfortable style of OluKai I own. The Kalupa Kai is the only style I know of with this unique foot bed, and I’m thrilled they haven’t changed it after ten+ years. If comfort is a priority, these are an awesome pick. If you live in a warm climate and spend a lot of time on your feet, these flip flops are a steal considering you will likely wear them as a walking shoe, hiking boot, casual sandal, and in the right environment, your “going out” shoes lol! If you live in, or are traveling to, a tropical or hotter climate, I think you will reach for this shoe daily.

Love the thinner strap on this very supportive flip flop! Wider toe box is perfect for my less than perfect foot with bunion. Fit TTS and straps keep flip flop snug to foot.

These are SO comfortable! They mold to the foot, and they don’t flap when I walk. I love the color. It’s a soft pink. I’ve worn them on a beach trip, as well as for gardening, and they’ve gotten soaking wet, but retained their shape. They don’t stretch out! They run true to size, and they have an excellent arch support. Note: I have very high arches.

Great arch support, super comfortable, lightweight, fit my narrow (AAA) foot (had to order several pair but with Zappos excellent customer service it was easy). Can wear with jeans, shorts, dresses or skirts. I can wear them all day right out of the box. My favorite flip flops that are more comfortable and sturdier so they're more like sandals. Please don't ever discontinue this style!

I needed a pair of flip flops for a beach trip, and my current OluKai flip flops are genuine leather, so I didn’t want to get them wet. This is a style in this brand I haven’t tried before. They are SO cute!!! The pink is a pastel, so it will go with most anything. The fit is perfect!! I have very high arches and a high instep, so it’s a challenge to find shoes that fit, especially any kind of sandal or flip flop. The arch support in these is perfect, very supportive, and the straps are barely snug on my feet, so they don’t slide around or slap when I walk. The strap between my toes is also very comfortable. I highly recommend these!!

I bought this shoe in a 9 and realized I needed to upsize to a 10. I wish they came in half sizes but that's not really a bad thing. I love these shoes. Have good arch support and are slightly thicker in the heel, which I really like. They wear well and are very comfortable. these are my new to go shoes outside the house when i want to wear flip flops.
