These are not nearly as comfortable as the thicker Olukai flip-flops. Also, the thin straps started falling apart after 4 months, and now after almost five months one of the straps is fully separated - just hanging there. I guess in this case you have to sacrifice comfort and durability for a more dainty/stylish look. They are very cute with everything from jeans to long dresses. I am sad that I had to say goodbye to mine so soon. I cannot justify spending this much on another pair though.

I tried several flip flops from Olukai, Chaco, Reef & Teva and picked the Unahi as my favorite. As other reviewers have commented, they don't have as much support as other Olukai and Chaco flip flops, but they do have moderate support and are comfortable. Plus, the others I tried were more clunky looking. The double straps add a touch of femininity and the sole isn't too large. They get more comfortable the more I wear them.

I wore these all summer and all over the cobblestone streets of Europe. One of the few flip-flop styles that offer me support as well comfort and look good. I got my money's worth this summer. I am looking forward to a new pair next spring!

Love these. So comfortable. Go well with most outfits. I was totally bummed when one of my straps broke. Contacted OluKai and after one quick email had a replacement pair sent to me in a week. No hassles!

I love Olukai sandals but with my troublesome feet have to wear Vionics most of the time for support. These sandals do not hurt my feet! Although I would not use for long walks because of my feet issues. They are comfortable, cute and can get wet! Love theml.

I love these sandals! They are the most comfortable flip-flop style sandals I have ever owned, and are cute enough to wear with dresses. I was hesitant to spend this much on sandals, but am so glad I did because I wore them every day on vacation. We had some long days of sightseeing, but I was comfortable every day.

Love these Flip flops. Decent support, soft and comfy on the feet. I am bringing these on a 2 weeks trip so we will see how they do. I know previous viewers said the straps may not be as durable but the thin straps give this a delicate feminine look that I like.

Zappos is one of the easiest companies to work with. I love ordering from them whether it be on the website or on the phone. My purchase of the Olikia flip flops were a no brainer. I have worn these exactly flip flops for several years and they have helped my ankles and feet so much I needed another pair. I am very satisfied.

I have always really liked OluKai's products and these sandals are no different. They offer great support and a massaging foot bed. I really love the colors too, very summery.

I used to wear Teva flip-flops until I found OluKai. Way more comfortable (I pronate) and more stylish. I wear them all day long!

I have a high arch and most flat shoes or flat hard soled flip flops hurt my feet shortly after putting them on and walking around a short time. Then I found Olukai. I have many styles and can wear any of them all day during summertime jaunts and vacation outings without any foot pain...heaven! The only caveat about Olukai, is that some styles have a more slippery bottom than others, so be careful where you choose to where them and for me personally, although I never had this problem with other flip flops, the thing between the toe on almost all styles is a little stiff and uncomfortable and takes some breaking in, but then it is fine. They are pricey, but for me it was worth it to wear comfortable flip flops in the summertime. Unahi has great style and is very comfortable.Usually wear a 5 1/2, bought the 5's, fit perfectly. Highly recommend.

Okay. This pair of OluKai Unahi was my second attempt to ever order OluKai sandals - so many have raved about them, and I was (or still) unimpressed with what Keen has offered so far this 2015 season (the flip flop brand that I have bought for years- waterproof, and designed for you to ride a bike? Awesome!). Originally I had ordered a pair of super cute OluKai Ohana (Shaved Ice Collection) in Punch pink in size 10- the size I normally wear in Keen, Born, and Ugg (or size 41 in Dansko). I found that that the original pink Ohana pair seemed to be too small of a foot bed for my size 10 feet. And, although other reviewers have raved about the softness of the Ohana footbed (and it was quite cushy), I knew that it would be too slippery to wear outside in the summer afternoon rains that are so common down here on the Gulf Coast (which is why I was looking for a synthetic sandal in the first place). There is something to be said for traction both immediately underfoot as well as under the sandal itself when dashing through the rain, and for arch support and for heel cushioning to save your knees and lower back. So I took a chance and ordered a pair of Mermaid green Unahi in Size 11! Wow! Perfect fit! The double straps are feminine and not at all loose for being one full size larger, the two-toned sole with the green stripe adds a little zest, but overall the fit was spot on for my size 10 feet. The fish scale textured foot bed gives a light grip without feeling weird on bare skin, and the overall slim sandal design is a nice change of pace from the Keen clog thongs that I have been wearing. If you re looking for something that is fun, casual, and can get wet, give 'em try, you won t be disappointed. These would be cool in a Plumeria purple.

I have majorly messed-up feet, and am recovering from the first of two surgeries on my heels and Achilles tendons. So finding a cute but comfortable and supportive flip flop has become my life s quest. Last summer I discovered Chacos [which are approved by the American Podiatry Association] and Olukai Ohanas, which have gotten rave reviews by several sites. The Chacos have excellent support, but the footbed is almost too firm at times; the Ohanas give good support and are like walking on pillows made of clouds, seriously. However, the synthetic footbed of the Ohanas can get a little slippery when your feet sweat, or get wet. When I saw these new Olukais, I thought, Hallelujah! These have the non-slip footbed like the Chacos, but were advertised as still being soft. Plus I liked the slender double straps, which look a bit more feminine. The first thing I noticed when I put them on was how light they are; that alone made my feet go ahh! They are noticeably lighter than either the Chacos or the Ohanas. And the footbed is a good cross between Chaco and Ohana: my foot doesn t slide, but it does feel softer than the Chaco though nothing can match the heavenly softness of the Ohanas. I normally wear a size 9 in flips, so that s what I ordered. These seem to run a tiny bit large; if Olukai made half-sizes, I might be able to wear an 8 1/2. But they don t run wide at all. My only concern is that the straps are a little loose: not so much that I need to return the shoes, but I do feel that I need to use my toes more to grip. All in all, I like the flips a lot.

I read the reviews and since I have a narrow foot and a high arch I decided to go with this style. I'm attending an outdoor wedding in June and need a new, comfortable sandal that isn't too dressy but will look good with a sundress. This fits the bill. And it does run narrow, which is a problem I have with Chacos. I have worn these to the office for a full day and found them very comfortable right out of the box. I could use a little more arch support, but the support of these sandals isn't bad. They're wicked cute too!

These are really cute sandals but were not comfortable on my slightly wide foot. The straps are thin and cut into the top of my foot. I had to return them. Olukai used to be my favorite flip flop, but it seems the newer styles run narrower.

Olukai is normally known for their orthotic heels with great arch support and durability, although this shoe had minimal arch support or comfort. After wearing this shoe a while the soles start to fray. Although the straps and colors are cute and very trendy!

I purchased these sandals July of 2015. This is my first pair of Olukais. I ordered a half size smaller than what I normally wear in flip flops based on the other reviews. I usually wear a 7.5/8, I ordered a 7 and they fit perfect. They have decent arch support, not as good as Chacos, but way better than your standard sandal. I was hesitant to purchase because of the price, but the look and feel were great. I noticed that the straps looked like they might be starting to wear after only a couple of months, but nothing major. It is now only 9 months from when they were originally purchased and the strap that connects to the footbed, between the toes has completely broken on one of the sandals. I live in the midwest, so these were barely worn over the winter months. Zappos support was great and replaced them for me. If Zappos hadn't replaced these, I would not have spent the money to purchase a replacement. Hoping the new pair will last longer than the first.

I have always loved OluKai, partly because of the great arch support. This particular style just doesn't have it and that's a disappointment.

My daughter and I have worn this brand for the last 3 years -- love the arch support. These flip flops look great with the thin straps -- however, these flip flops do not have as much arch support as the other styles. I love the look -- however, they do not feel like they will hold up for a long time. They have kind of stretched out already. These flip flops do not match up to the rest of the items we have purchased from this brand! I have some OluKai that have been worn for 3 years -- these will not last that long. Too bad -- the style and look is great.

Of all the OluKai flip flops I tried, this one was the least comfortable. It's a huge step up from a regular flip flop, but I found other OluKai styles to have more support.

I was very excited when I first got these cute & stylish flip flops. They looked great with everything. Unfortunately, after 3 months of light wear, the straps started to separate and now after 4 months, they have completely separated which can cause blisters on my feet. Also, the stitching on the toe post has started to fray. The footbed can be slippery on some surfaces, as I almost took a fall when walking over a metal bridge, in the rain, that had traction grooves to reduce slips/falls.
I was more disappointed in Zappos for not working with me in a return or even an exchange, because of their "policy" of normal wear and tear. I work on private yachts & travel a lot which takes me away from home and leisure time which would be when I would wear these flip flops. So, even though I purchased these over 4 months ago, actual wear time is less than 2 months.
I am a Zappos VIP customer who purchases most of my shoes from this company & never had an issue with return or replacement before. Very disappointed in the change of customer service.

Save your money and don't get these. The quality was terrible. The straps unfolded the first time the shoes got wet. Then one of the straps broke near the toe. Not worth it.

Aloha,
I am incredibly disappointed with the quality of this sandal. Not even remotely worth the money paid. If this is the direction that OluKai is moving, I will no longer be supporting them as a brand. The sole is moderately supportive, but the straps are made of a very poor, felt-like material. The are too large and I have a hard time believing that they will hold up very long. Spend your money elsewhere. Shame Zappos for carrying theses.
