These are nice looking and well made sandals. The main thing I didn't like about them was that they made a very loud flapping noise when walking. And I found them a bit too wide for my average foot. I found another pair of Olu'kai sandals that are perfect...back these go.

I love the style of these flip flops and extra support, unfortunately they are very hard to break in. I have been wearing for 5 days and have blisters and rawness between my toes due to the stiff sharp leather. Additionally the straps are stiff as well and left a small cut on my second toe and side of foot. I have not not walked miles in these just around the resort and grocery shopping.

I really wanted to like these flip flops, but the double band irritated the tops of my feet. Going to exchange for a different pair of single strapped OluKai flips.

At 74 years old with arthritis in my feet, finding shoes can sometimes be a struggle. I am active, social and enjoy wearing stylish clothes and shoes so I spend a lot of time finding things that work for me. I literally ordered every style of the OluKai sandals and found that the U'i works the best for me- slightly wider in the toe bed, enough arch support, soft in all the right areas. I ordered this style in 3 colors - the pewter, the bronze, and the bubbly Sahara- they will be my go to sandals for the summer season. Very stylish, very comfortable - highly recommend.

These are beautiful! They are much nicer than just the run of the mill flip-flops! They fit great and will mold to my feet for an even a better fit. I am getting the same sandal in the brown color, too! They are worth the price!

I had been looking for the perfect silver sandal to replace a very flat, uncomfortable pair I loved the look of... this pair is cute and comfortable. Looks great with all my summer dresses, and I can wear them all day with no discomfort! I am a true 6 1/2, and the 7 fits perfectly (no half sizes).

These thong style sandals are very feminine and look much nicer than the typical flip flop. My husband complemented them and said I should take them on our next vacation. The pewter color is subtle (not shiny) and will go with everything. They only come in whole sizes so I used the Zappos sizing recommendation and ordered a half size larger then I generally wear (I wear a size 81/2 and got the size 9). They fit perfectly despite my wide forefoot. They will need some breaking in because the braided post between the toes is rather stiff and uncomfortable. However, some other reviewers have stated this problem resolves after wearing a few times. Otherwise they are pretty comfortable and seem well made.

Super cute sandals. They are very versatile and can be worn with many different outfits. Need a little bit of time to break in.

Favorite flip-flops ever! Been wearing these for 3 years. They do take some time to break in, but, they've got great arch support for a flip-flop, the footbed never smells or gets dirty because it's leather, and after 3 years, they're still not worn out - will go for several more years. Really well made!

I have been wearing this style of OluKai U'i for years; I just keep reordering as I need them. They are SO comfortable and fashionable. I am not sure what I will do when they are discontinued.

These flip flops are quality made and beautiful style. In fact I bought my first pair 4 years ago in the same style I just purchased again. They are a work horse. I live in Arizona and wear them almost everyday and have travels and taken them with. The strap between the toe broke and I was so upset, I sat down and ordered another pair. The newness of the leather takes a bit to break in but once it does this flip flop becomes your best friend. I bought the Olukai U'i in the color bubbly sahara. Exact duplicate of my broken pair. I maybe should have bought another in case they don't carry this style in 4 more years. LOL!

These are very cute sandals and go great with just about any outfit. The double straps are very stylish and I love the colors. They feel comfortable wearing and don't hurt my toes. The grip on the sole of the sandal helps them stay on my feet

These are probably the comfiest pair of sandals I own. It is soft, and it has a little heel so you're not feeling to flat or unelevated off the floor. The colour is netral so it goes with everything! Defintely please go get them

I wear a 7.5 but have a narrow foot so ordered a size 7 which I had to return. Received the size 8 and they fit beautifully. This is one of the most comfortable sandals out there. Love them

These shoes are SO comfortable. Wore them with no break in time necessary. This is my second pair of this style shoes. Love them. If you’re thinking about buying them do it!

These have been my go-to sandal for two seasons now and they've held up great. Super comfortable, like a flip-flop with a Birk/Mephisto-type hybrid footbed that conforms a bit, so your heel is never sliding around even if wet. The double-strap and little stitching detail looks nice enough I wear them to my (fairly casual) office with jeans, sundress, anything really. The sole layer is really sturdy without being bulky at all. Solid long-lasting flip-flop!

I have these in four colors. I love them that much! I have flat feet and some of the other arch support flip flops have such high arches they throw my feet off to the side and are very painful to wear...these are just enough to be comfortable but not too high arched. I can walk in them easily.

Love OluKai! I must have arch support in my shoes, and years ago I discovered OluKai sandals. At that time they were the only sandals I could find with arch support. I loved the first pair, and since then I have bought at least a dozen pair of their sandals and also two pairs of slip on tennis shoes. Needless to say, I am a HUGE fan of OluKai products. I know I am getting a quality product every time, and they last!! I’m still wearing my first pair (over 12 years old) and they still look great!

My favorite flip flops. I love these and just bought them in red which is beautiful. My 1st tan sandals are well worn and have turned into house and garden shoes. The last forever. My others have gotten wet, but not at the beach. I have been wearing thong sandals my whole life so I’m adept at walking in them and find these more comfortable than most.

Just got back from a trip to Italy. I wore these sandals most of the time - perfect with lightweight linen pants or a sundress. I walked 10(!) miles in these sandals in Florence on mostly cobblestone roads. I won’t tell you my feet didn’t hurt because they did (from walking so far)- but I put them right back on the next day and walked another 7 miles. These sandals are extremely well made, stylish, and comfortable. I even wear them to work because they’re really more of a sandal than a flip flop. The arch support is great (which is why I bought them in the first place). The sole is firm which makes it very durable on different types of walking surfaces. I highly recommend these sandals!

The shoe is true to size and fit very well. It's leather and so needs a little time to be worn in but they have done what I wanted to buy them for, which is to help with my foot pain. I am either barefoot or running around in flip flops and with flat feet have really started to suffer with pain at the end of a long day. These were recommended to me by a friend so I started searching for a pair I would like to go with most outfits and that would provide me with some support and be comfortable enough to wear all day. I love the nude color as it goes with most everything and these are cute so I'm not shouting out to everyone that I'm now having to wear "comfortable" shoes versus cute ones. I'm going to order a black pair as well! I am now a fan of this brand and have been recommending to my friends...

These are the most comfortable sandals! This is my second pair. My sisters even bought them as they heard me say how great they were. They are definitely worth the extra money. It's very hard to find all leather sandals. I have a wide foot (9EE) and am able to wear the 10M. I will only buy Olukai from now on.
