I purchased these for my husband. He normally wears a size 11 in shoes, but had to go up 2 sizes to fit. We ended up with a size 13. They fit perfectly. Great style, great comfort!

I love my OluKai flip-flops. I have bought my pairs of different styles of OluKai over the years and I still have them all. Great quality, comfortable and a good looking sandal. The all leather flips flops tend to run smaller in size compared to other flip flops.

My son will only wear OkuKai sandals and this pair didn't disappoint. He wears them almost every day and they still look great

I have been wearing OluKai for about seven years now and have been really happy with every pair. They are more expensive, but well worth the price. Every pair I have owned has been very comfortable and they look great. Versatile as well, you can wear them with khakis at a restaurant or with shorts at the beach.

Bought these for my Dads birthday and he absolutely loved them! We went to Hawaii this summer and these were the shoes he wore everywhere! Very sturdy shoes! He said they are very comfortable! We will be buying more of these!

My husband loves these flops. When his current pair broke, he didn't even think of buying a different brand. He wore these everyday for over a year. The quality is fantastic. This version felt about a half size smaller than his old pair though.

As others noted, this runs smaller than other OluKai models, but rather than extending behind my heel and far beyond my toes like the Ohana, it just fits perfectly. It's just a different outsold structure, the footbed is sized true/slightly smaller.
The tan version is lighter in person than the photos. It's more like khaki or camel colored.
Very comfortable, like my OluKai Ohana pain, which lasted 3 or 4 years of daily use as house shoes.
I recommend these OluKair Nui sandals.

I have 2 other pair of OluKai flip Flops, OHANA & HOKUA, both size 11 and they fit great The KAI model, leather upper & footbed runs small. (see the pictures below compared to the other pair)
Overall I love the construction, style and arch support in both the OHANA & HOKUA. The HOKUA I've had for over a year and half, wore them in Mexico everyday walking, and now most of the time outside wherever I go, holding up great!

Got these for my husband for Father's Day. Ordered one size up and they are a perfect fit! He loves them and has worn them every day since he's got them. Super comfy, light and a great look.

These flip-flops look feel and are quality all the way. I ordered the java/java leathers absolutely comfortable and classy looking. They are very masculine looking.

Glad I read the reviews as the size of the sandals is a full size smaller than what you would normally wear. I wear a 12 and ordered a size 13 and they fit perfectly. Well constructed and comfortable. Forgot I was wearing sandals they are so comfortable.

The Nui flip-flops do seem to run small. The best advice is measure and find your exact size on chart and go two sizes larger. I did this and have flip-flops that work well. These are great looking flip-flops!

Overall, these OluKai sandals are good. They use a nice leather for the upper and under the foot and have a reasonably good arch support (not great, but good). I'm not generally a flip flop kind of person, but OluKai has won me over with their styles. I own a pair of the Hiapo sandals by OluKai and they are fabulous; great high end leather, detailed stitching, etc. If it makes sense, the Hiapos are like a dress flip flop. The Nui model is not quite as nice. The leather appears to be a step below what's on the Hiapo or the Mea Ola model by OluKai. Those models also have a full piece of leather that wraps around and covers the outsoles, which makes for a high-end finished appearance. The stitching on the Hiapo is beautiful. Why am I bringing up other models so much? Because the price of the Nui model is not that much less. For only $20 more, you get a much better overall sandal in my opinion--better-looking, more comfortable on the foot (at least to me), because the leather used on the Hiapo and Mea Ola just feels better against the skin and maybe even more durable. The Nui is a good sandal, but seriously look at the models above it as well. If you're already spending $100 for a flip flop; it's not much more to upgrade.

Reviewed at Olukai
These leather sandals are some of the most comfortable sandals I have ever owned. They are made from leather so they are extremely durable the only complaint I would have is they are already stained were my foot has been sitting in them but thats not really a big deal as I live out in the country so my feet have alot of dirt and oils to them from walking outside all these years without shoes. They are very comfortable but they do rub a little at first but I think alot of sandals do that until you break them in good. They have a nice unisex look to them so either a man or woman could wear them and they would still look nice. The hook design on top is a nice look additive to it. Between the slick design and comfortable cushion I'm completely in love with these sandals. They are perfect for a day at the beach or lake or even to just run around in plus they look nice unlike some other sandals.

Specifically the Nui sandal runs half size to full size smaller than normal OluKai sandals. I have two other pair of different model OluKai sandals that are true to size and I wear an 11 in but the Nui I need a 12. Would buy 11.5 if they made half size.

I'm so excited about these after purchasing a pair of Olukai Moloas a couple years ago which I LOVE and wear almost every day and have held up fantastically. I normally wear a size 13, don't understand but Olukais sizing is strange. After reading reviews I ordered a size 14 in the Nui and a 12 in the Moloa. Both actually fit great but for being the same brand and 2 sizes apart is strange. Anyway, listen to the reviews on here and you won't be disappointed. Olukais are amazing, so comfortable and durable, well worth the price. Zappos is always amazing too!

Stylish well-made flip flops but they run VERY small. Normally wear a 10 (and have a pair of Olukai sneakers in a 10M); after reading the reviews I ordered an 11, but it was much too short. Returned for the 12 and that fits perfectly.

I bought these for my dad and we had to exchange them for the next size up. Other than the sizing issues he says they're pretty comfortable.

I've owned Ohanas for years and ordered the same size in these Nuis as I normally do. The fit is terrible. Believe the other reviews you've seen that say as much. They look good in person, I'll be going back to the Ohanas though.
