Customer Reviews OluKai DELETED

Well...if "excellent" arch support means "too much"! These seemed like great shoes, but the arch support was so high and hard I didn't want to take a chance on them. Felt like my arch was going to be bruised!

The arch support was like walking with a rock in my arch. Unfortunately, these are going back.

I live in California and need comfortable flip-flops all year round. I am always on the search for the perfect flip-flop and these were not them. They have great arch support, but the rest of the shoe felt stiff, and the sole was not cushiony at all. Also the toe part was very wide, which gave my normally cute foot a duck foot look. I am going back to my Reef Slaps.

Excellent arch support. Wear 7.5 in sandals; ordered an 8; a little too long but okay. The toe strap is too wide and hurts my toes.

Wonderful feel but runs a bit narrow for wide feet. I found the Chaco Florence a better fit.

Love the look, but the thong was extremely uncomfortable. I'm a bit sensitive to how thong sandals fit anyway, but as soon as I put these on it felt like it was going to slice my foot in half. The footbed seemed like it would be quite comfortable, though. Great support. If the thong part hadn't hurt so much, these would have been a great pair of sandals!

I have narrow feet and it’s very hard to find sandals that fit - these sandals are narrow enough and very cute. My only reservation about them is what other people are saying - the band through the toe is uncomfortable. I wish the manufacturer had turned the ribbon sideways to make it narrower as they had on numerous other sandals that I have from them.

Saw these at a shop at the beach and couldn't wait to come home to order them and I was so disappointed. These are much more narrow that stated and felt a half to a full size smaller. I so wanted to love them but it seemed as if the length in the front was too long and turned up on the ends. I felt like I was wearing skis and my heel was right at the edge with all that extra room at the front. I believe that if these fit better I would be in love with them but unfortunately they went back.

I was so wanting these shoes to work out. I researched them, was told they were "the sandal" to wear after running for their arch support. Well I bought them and anxiously awaited for them to come in. Got them and immediately started to wear them. I tell you my feet hurt! They hurt! I thought they just needed to be broke in or that my fee needed to get use to them, NOT. Two hours max was all my feet could handle. So sad, was really hoping for a better sandal. yes, I returned them. Zappos customer service is awesome!

I was relieved to read that some other folks had the same complaint as I did. The arch was so high -- never experienced that in a sandal before. I have problem feet so there was no way I was going to settle and keep these. Sorry to say they are going back.

I have always been told that I have very high arches. So, I wanted a flip flop with some arch support. However, the arch support in these flip flops is so high and hard, it feels like I\'m balancing on a rock! Very painful! I\'m not sure if this is something I have to get used to or if these just don\'t fit my feet right. I never thought there was such a thing as too much arch support until now.

I'm always on the hunt for the "ultimate" flip flop: cute, cushy, comfy and supportive. This is marginally cute. Nothing special to look at, but still was hopeful on comfort. Nice cushy footbed and excellent arch support but - OUCH - the stem between the toes is stiff fabric. The edge of the fabric digs into the side of the big toe and the toe next to it. Also, it is very wide. I'm a big flip-flop thong sandal wearer and not usually very sensitive between the toes, but this is VERY uncomfy.

I have been wearing Olukai slippers for years, but have been greatly disappointed in my last two pairs. I have been wearing my last pair for three weeks and the soles of my feet are constantly stained black from the shoes. The pair before were leather. Both pairs have loosened quickly from the strap that goes between the toe which throws off the needed arch support. Sorry to say I will be looking for a different brand soon.

I wanted to love these flip flops. I ordered a nine, but I have a wide foot and had to return them for a 10. The new pair fit well and was pretty. Then I took them on vacation to Mexico. It may have been the hot sand, but the toe of one shoe curled up permanently and made them uncomfortable. I sent them back again. I just received the Keen aqua flip, which are similar, and so far, so good.

Loved these for a week before the front came unglued. Not very happy, they were not cheap and I thought they were going to last more than a week. Otherwise I loved the feel and look.

Shame on OluKai! I have worn their Kekai (now discontinued) sandals and sung their praises to all my friends. I ordered the OHANA, three pairs for a trip to California. They arrived, looking exactly like the Kekai. But when I wore them, after an hour I was slipping on the floors and outside. I scrubbed the soles thinking it was something I stepped through. But no. The materials used in OHANA are shoddy and similar to what they use in soles on kid's shoes from discount retailers. It's a shame that a shoe manufacturer like OluKai has scrimped on such an outstanding sandal. They should replace the soles with the same material used in Kekai sandals. Those, live up to the OluKai name. Not the OHANAS.

Poorly made shoes. Typically I like OluKai, but this pair I received is not assembled well (rough edges where pieces were glued together) and actually stained the soles of my feet black in less than hour.
