Customer Reviews OluKai Puka

Maybe I needed to go down a size. But this shoe as an 8 (my normal size) is big/too wide. I opted not to try a smaller size because the footbed is so wide, the shoe is heavy, and the shoes tend to really "flop" when you walk. Also, for the price, the fabric toe connector seems cheap.

I feel weird reviewing these since I did not keep them, but in case anyone out there is deciding - I have slightly wide feet, but not wide enough to wear actual "wide" sizes. Sadly, these did not fit me - my feet were over the side slightly on the outsides. I tried sizes 9 and 10 (I usually wear 9-9.5) and had the same width problem on both. Just sharing in case there are any other "in between wide/not wide" sized folks. I also tried the Wana in sizes 9 and 10 and those were even narrower than these. This was disappointing since they seemed otherwise comfortable, especially the strap. And they looked stylish - dressed up or down, like others said. Sad I had to return them.

I typically have to go up a size in shoes (I measure a 10½ and it is hard to find shoes that size!) but I ordered a 10 and these fit beautifully. I agree with other reviewers that the strap between the toes is a bit flimsy (third pair of OluKai flip-flops and in fact every other pair has broken there!) but worth the money as they are comfortable, last several years and look so great! They have good arch support, rare in flip-flops, and can be dressed up or down.

This is my 3rd pair of Olukai flip flops. I typically wear an 8 in most shoes, but my previous 2 pairs of Olukai seemed to run big. I have the Kumu leather in a size 8 (a 7 would have worked better) and the Ohana in a 7, which is perfect. So...I bought the Puka in a 7 as well. It's a little snug right now, but I know from having two other pairs that when the sole begins to compress and conform to my feet, they will fit perfect. I like how the Puka is a little more feminine with thinner straps and a smaller footprint. Will go better with dresses and skirts than my other two pairs. I love Olukai...yes they are pricey, but my feet need the more stable foot bed they provide.

These are very comfortable and very cute. I love the cut out detail. I was looking for a leather sandal that wasn't too bulky...these are perfect! I'll be ordering more.

I love the way these look on my feet and I can wear them with some of my dressier clothes. My one big disappointment is that, unlike my other Olukai's, there is almost no arch support, which is why I starting buying them instead of Rainbows.

My feet have been in agony since I purchased these shoes. I have already taken them - twice - to the shoe repair to make them more comfortable and I just can't take it anymore. These are the most uncomfortable shoes I have EVER owned. The straps and the "T" dig into your skin like you can't imagine!
