I love this flip flop for its quality and the arch support it gives. Plus the footbed feels so soft & lush. I find it better than the more popular Ohana model because the footbed on the Ohana is too bulky & heavy for me. Its weight causes it to drag when I walk and creates blisters. This model is lighter and stays with my foot when I walk. This flip flop runs true to size for me. My foot runs slightly wide and fits fine.

I liked the way these looked on my narrow feet...because the shoe is slim and not bulky. The arch support was lacking for me....I have a very high arch. I felt it ran a little short in the length. If the arch support had been more, I would have kept the size 7...foot not over edges...but to the ends with perhaps 1/8 inch to spare. Due to plantar fasciitis, really looking for arch support at this time.

This is my second pair and the fit, size and comfort are the best as well as the arch support!

This shoe was very nice and had good arch support but does seem just a bit shorter than the Ohana and the straps are a lot thinner and I am use to the thicker straps which I like better on my foot. I have worn Olukai for several years now and will never wear any other flip flop. I love the support the Olukai's have.

I got these in the white. I’m usually a 7.5, but I got a 7 in this flip flop. There is some room at the toe, but I’m close at the heel. I have gotten an 8 before in a different style of olukai and they felt loose and clunky. Hoping these fit the bill for doing some walking on a trip, but I tested them out at home and the grocery store and they had great support for a flip flop.

I bought 9's in Kulapa Kai and Ohana, hoping one would be closer to my 8.5 foot, since Olukai doesn't make half sizes. These, Kulapa Kai, fit perfectly. There is a little room in front of my big toe and my heel is very close to the back edge. The 9 really is like an 8.5, IMO. The Ohana W in 9 was too big overall. I'm really happy I fit into Olukai Kulapa Kai. I'll buy other colors.

My daughter has plantar faciitis and this is the only footwear she can tolerate when her symptom are severe. Actually, this is her go to favorite all year round. Great sanders and great arch support. Totally recommend them.

Love these flip-flops. FYI: I am usually a size 10 in other shoes, but I size down to a 9 in Olukai.
(I wish they made half sizes, a 9.5 would be perfect for me--a 9 is pretty tight at first, but a 10 is way too big)

These are the epitome of comfort when it comes to flip flops — a pair of FitFlops I’d bought gave me blisters within minutes of wearing them. Unfortunately, these shoes had too much arch support. I returned them and got the Ho’opio, which seem to be much better, with just the right amount of support.

Fantastic. Fits perfectly. A little tightness between toes for first few days but then broken in. Have plantar fasciitis and never felt a twinge of pain. And stylish enough to wear with dresses. Much more stylish than Ohana and frankly even better arch support.

Expensive but worth it. Classy, stylish and sturdy for just a basic flip flop. Looks good with everything. I like the arch support. I have 5 pairs of these.

Love these OluKai's! This is my 2nd pair. My first pair I bought a size 11 as that was all that was left. This time I ordered the white in my normal size 10 and an 11, and again I went with the 11. While the 10 fit well, the shoe seemed short as my heel was close to the edge which I don't like and the toe strap seemed shorter which made it feel slightly tighter. On the color, I was concerned when there were questions stating that the white was creamy. The ones I receiver were very white, while the toe strap material is a little creamier. I am very happy with the white.

I have OluKai flip flops in several colors and several styles and they're always perfect. I wear a 6.5 and size 7 works for me.

I have owned two pairs of the OluKai Ohana flip flop previously and I wore them constantly (until they are finally wearing out). I was hesitant to try a different type of OluKai's since I like the Ohanas so well, but I loved the silver color flip flop available in these Kulapa Kai's. After receiving them, my first thought was that I was not sure about the fit compared to the Ohanas. The Ohana strap is a little wider and fits more securely on the foot for me. The Kulapa Kai's have a bit thinner strap with a bit stretchier feeling. That said, I have gotten used to them pretty quickly and find that it is not something that has continued to bug me. I have had them 10 days or so and am used to the different fit now. And I really like the silver straps! I am sure I will get plenty of use out of these.

After wearing Havaiannas for the last 15 years I needed to find a flip flop with more support after a broken ankle and surgery. These girls great reviews and I tell you, they are super comfortable and I can walk Disney world in these! Highly recommended!

I purchased these because my old pair needed replacing. Sad to say sizing has changed over the years. My old sandals still clearly state size 10M. They fit absolutely perfect. So I ordered a size 10M, they are approximately 3/4 of an inch shorter. Very disappointed.

I normally wear a size 9 in shoes, I do have to size up to 10 in Okukai. Comfortable flip flops and stylish.

I have had about 5-6 pairs of Kulapa Kai's. I order new ones only b/c I wear them so much that they get too dirty. I have flat feet and used to get arch pain for certain shoes. These flip flops have made all of that better and I can't say enough good things about them. I do not leave home without them!

It fits well, is very comfortable, and provides some arch support (very unusual in this type of footwear). Great right out of the box!

I have owned 4 pair of this sandal. The toe strap is comfortable between my toes & footbed support is good and comfortable. I wear them for walking & around the house. After wearing them for over 6 months, there is a tendency for the upper straps to loosen. I will continue to purchase this model.

Olukai seem to run a little big. I normally wear a 6 or a 6.5, but in OluKai it's a 7. These are absolutely the most comfortable and durable filp flops I've owned. I do prefer the ones with the black insole as I have previously owned ones that had a yellow insole and they dis-colored overtime with wear and tear.

These look pretty simple like a cheapo drugstore flip flop, but they are very different than those. They are more expensive than most flip-flops, but so comfortable right away and the arch support is a nice surprise.
