These felt good right out of the box. I have recently been diagnosed with a heel spur. This shoe supports my arch and cushions my heel. So glad I don’t have to give up flip flops.

I found the shoes in Maui in 2011. They’re the most comfortable flip-flop I’ve ever owned. This is the only shoe I wear about six months out of the year because I’m in California and I can get away with it. I would wear them all year long if I could. They’re worth every penny and they really support your feet well. I started out buying the leather style but now that they don’t make it anymore I am wearing the Kulapa Kai. My feet are a bit narrow and they fit perfectly. The arch support they provide is also great for flat feet.

The sizing or something changed!! This was my 5th pair of Olukai Kulapa Kai's, and they must have changed something about the cut and/or sizing because it's very different. I normally wear/buy size 8 in these, and the 8 felt smaller and narrower (and when I put them up against my existing pairs, they also looked smaller and narrower) than all my previous pairs. Then, I thought I'd try size 9 to see if that would work, but size 9 was WAY too big. So disappointing because I love these flip flops, and I live in them.

I'd never heard of this brand before but ordered two different styles and I couldn't be happier! I'm back to get one more pair in black. Awesome flip flops.

I love these sandals! They are comfortable and have great support. I wear an 8 1/2 in shoes and a 9 in athletic shoes and I wear an 8 in these, no half sizes. Super comfortable and cut too.

Order a half size up. I always wear an 8.5 but the 9 was perfect. These are seriously comfortable flip flops! I’ve always been a fan of Rainbows brand, but these might be my new faves. Great color too.

In trying to decide between these and the Vionic Tide, I have decided to go with the Vionics because the arch in these hit me just a little "off" and they seemed just a touch long. They seem very well made and they are pretty nice looking for flip-flops. I think it all comes down to the shape of your particular foot.

I wanted to really love these but I just like them. I buy these for my boys. But they are just ok for me. I normally wear 9 or 8 1/2 and I bought the 9 and they JUST fit. But they aren’t as comfortable and I can’t wear these all the time. They have more support than your average flip flop but I will try another arch supported flip flop next time.

Great arch support, unfortunately tight across the instep. A little expensive for a simple rubber flip flop but I would have kept if had been comfortable across the top.

I wanted to love these. I buy them for my kids because I like the arch support and thought I would treat my feet to them. I like them. There is a lot more arch support than you average flip flop. I would say these are super comfy. But maybe they’re helping my feet in the long run? Also I am between an 8 1/2 and 9 I bought the 9 and the JUST fit. I am keeping them but am not 100% I’ll buy these for me again.

The ultimate minimalist flip-flop with maximum support. I’m usually a 9/9&1/2, tried a 9 & exchanged it for a 10 within a few quick days — love the service & these shoes.

I bought 2 different styles of this brand. I really liked the one pair, but not so much these. They felt tight on my foot and didn't have as much support as the other style. They felt like much cheaper flip flops. To me they were not worth the price.

I’ve been wearing this style Olukai for years and the pair I just ordered was definitely smaller than previously. I’ve ordered size 9 for years but had to return them as they were too small. We’ll give the size 10 a try. This is the second style Olukai sandal that I’ve had to size up on.

I have multiple pairs of this flip flop. My newest pair seems to be made smaller and narrower than the ones I have purchased in the past. I think they have definitely changed the design. Sad.

I order at least 4 pairs of these a year because it’s all that I wear! I love these flip flops and they come in a wide range of colors and are extremely durable

I want to start my review by saying I love this flip flop. This is my fifth pair. My only issue with this pair is that it definitely is running small. I compared it to my older Kulupa Kais and these even look smaller although I have ordered my usual size 7. I don’t understand why the sizing seems different with this years model. Unfortunately there is no half size option and I think the size 8 would be too big. I am going to wear them around the house for a few days to see if they stretch out. I have never had to do this with previous pairs.

The perfect flip flop. It can get wet, the black goes with everything, the thinner straps give a more delicate look so can be worn at the beach or to a nice dinner.

Okay I absolutely love these flip flops. My feet hurt in other flip flops and they feel flimsy, but not these. They only come in whole sizes, so I sized up a half size and they are perfect. Sansuk used to be my favorite, but ever since they changed the sole to yoga mat, I hate them. These are more comfortable and the sole will last longer then other flip flops. They also have a slight arch not flat like other flip flops. I know they are pricey, but worth my feet not hurting.
