These are incredibly comfortable slippers! I am extremely happy with my purchase. I am a size 8.5 so I ordered an 8 and a 9 to try. Going up to the 9 was the right fit for me (usually with OluKai whole-sizes I go down to 8, so this was a little unexpected.) Hope this helps!

Best slippers I’ve ever had. I am normally an Ugg slipper type chic, but these far surpasses any of my UGG slippers. These give the perfect warmth without making my feet too hot. They were so soft and supportive straight out of the box. My husband had very wide feet and has the hardest time finding any shoe/slipper to fit him comfortably. He’s too was amazed at how comfortable these shoes were out of the box. Heck, amazed that they were so spot on all around! His favorite part of the slipper is that he was able to remove the insole and put in his orthotics! Moreso, after putting the orthotic, they remained as comfortable and if not more comfortable even with them in. A definite 2 thumbs up from this couple! ???????? We will be buying again. Different color as a second pair now for me! I love them that much.

I have been a loyal Haflinger fan for many years now. I love the support their slippers provide. I work from home, so I spend a lot of time in my slippers. The Haflingers were great until the toe area busted out after around 6 months of use. This happened with multiple styles to both my spouse and I. We kept replacing them because of the comfort, but we were getting tired of spending so much only to replace so quickly. I have owned a few pairs of Olukai sandals and have always been extremely satisfied. When I saw these slippers, I had to give them a try. So far so good! Cannot speak to the longevity of them, but quality seems very good. They feel very nice and supportive. They aren’t too warm but very cozy. I do recommend ordering a half size up if you happen to fall in between sizes like me. I wear 8.5 in nearly all brands, and 9 worked great for me. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Treat yourself! :)

I am not a "slipper" person normally, because I don't like my feet feeling stuffy. These slippers are perfect because you can fold in the back heel to bring in more openness and circulation, which is how I've mostly worn them. However, when it's actually cold in the house, it's great to have the slippers on fully for the warmth and softness they provide. Love the color, style, look, and feel!

I have searched for a warm slipper, easy to slip into, with a good non-slip sole for many years without luck until I purchased these Olukai Nohea slippers. Maintaining good balance when walking is difficult for me unless the sole of my shoe is flat enough and thin enough to allow me to "sense" the floor with my feet. Because my gait is irregular a non-skid and non-slip sole is a must. I was resigned to wearing "fall management slippers" (a staple in physical therapy) with warm thick socks to offset the lack of warm and comfort. No more! These slippers are attractive, cozily warm, easy to slip into (love the option to wear as a scuff using the collapsible heel feature) and I can walk in them with confidence and stability. Yay Olukai! and Yay Zappo's! Expensive, yes, but worth every penny to me.

I am obsessed with these slippers! After trying on several from Ugg and Sorel, these won out. Why? I wanted a pair of slippers to keep my feet mad warm, be rugged enough to wear them outside briefly, but not look ridiculous. Oddly, that’s hard to find. I tried a similar pair of Ugg’s, but they kept slipping off the back of my heel when I walked. Other booties were too hard to squeeze into. Maybe due to my wide foot and high instep? These ones are just right. Stylish, warm, and of great quality with decent arch support. I finally feel complete.

Worst. Purchase. Ever! I love the brand so I had high hopes for these slippers. Also, I have hardwood floor through my house so I did a lot of research in hopes of finding THE best ones. They do not provide as much support or comfort like I thought they would by other reviews. Since day 1 they slipped off my feet, and I hate the thought of bending the back of them since they don't provide as much support.

These slippers are fabulous! I really don’t like my feet to feel constricted. (I prefer to be barefoot when at home, most frequently wear Dansko clogs, almost never wear socks…) However, I needed slippers for really cold days, both for inside and brief trips outside into the yard. In selecting slippers to try, I narrowed it down to a pair of Old Friend Bellas, and these. The Bellas were comfortable and soft, but the deep shearling made my foot feel like it was being hugged to death, with strands of the shearling sliding up between my toes. These OluKais felt just right. The interior sides and top are shearling, but very short; enough to be soft, insulating and warm without being at all constricting. The insole is molded, dense foam covered with fabric that includes a bit of arch support and nice padding under the heel. I don’t believe I had ever thought about support with the couple pairs of LLBean slippers I’ve had over the last few decades, but they had thinly padded footbeds, but no actual contoured support, and I find these more comfortable. The sole is still completely flexible, but the little support it gives when walking or standing is more comfortable than flat padding. The back that bends in to make the slipper a slide doesn’t work well for me as I found this leather too thick to be comfortable folded under my bare foot. (I got a pair I liked with this feature in Morocco, though made with a thinner leather, which I found comfortable, so perhaps if you were wearing thick socks the edge of the leather under your foot wouldn’t feel uncomfortable?) These slippers feel great, keep my feet warm without being confined or suffocated, and provide fine traction on all the surfaces around my home, including tile, hardwood, rugs, brick, grass or asphalt. The only issue I had with these was the size: I consistently wear a women’s size 10M in everything (41 in Danskos) but the size 10 I ordered was both too short (toes visibly pushing against end of toe box) and narrow enough to make slipping them on difficult. However, I exchanged for a size 11M and they fit perfectly. Finally, visual appeal was not of concern to me in selecting slippers, but I have to say they really don’t look like slippers. They’re not bulky, oversized, or otherwise clunky looking as so many slippers are. These just look like attractive, casual, suede loafers with a thin white lining visible. I had never heard of OluKai before I started shopping for new slippers but I will look for their products in the future.

As someone who typically isn’t a ‘slipper person’, these are absolutely perfect. These were purchased for our cabin up in the Poconos which has all hard wood floors and tends to get very chilly in the winter. These are soft and cushiony on the inside and fit my feet like a glove, both with or without socks. (Note: I have a decent arch and somewhat wide foot but these conformed well to my foot.) I love the smooth and sleek outside which seems to repel stains and stands up great so far against scuffs. The color is beautiful and unique amongst the many brands I looked at. They did feel somewhat expensive for slippers purchased for a vacation home. But with the amount of time we spend up here and the fact that I wear them the entire time I’m inside, it’s turned out to be a wise choice. I highly recommend these!

These are the best slippers ever! So very comfortable, good support, warm and they don’t make noise like a shoe when you walk on anything other than carpet.

I normally wait awhile before reviewing shoes which I’m keeping, until I’ve worn them a few times, but these are so amazingly comfortable I may accidentally wear them to bed. I didn’t know finding a pair of house shoes would be such an arduous process, but thanks to Zappos, I finally found a pair that feel like a cozy, gentle hug on my feet. An unglamorous fact of life is that when you get older, your feet change. A lot. In size, shape, everything. When you finally do find something that works, and works well, you want to reach out and pass it along. That said, these would look great on anyone—young, old, in-between, because they’re so classy. Really nice suede, shearling and contrast stitching and, thank you, a good wool-faced removable footbed. I love the elastic gore on each side of the foot. BTW, I normally wear a size 6/36, which these are, and the size is perfect. If I was to wear them with socks, I’d order up. (I like that the lining isn’t too thick, they won’t make my feet too hot.) My feet are a bit wide at the toe area and narrow at the heel, hard to fit, but these work fine. Also, the arch isn’t too high, just enough I can feel it’s there. These aren’t footwear I’d choose to go walking in, not enough cushioning or support for that, but for hanging out at home, (what else is there to do during Covid) just absolutely right.

I was looking for a comfortable and durable pair of slippers with good arch support, that are good for year-round use and not too warm. I had some boiled wool Keens (my 2nd pair) which didn't provide great arch support (unlike the first pair), slipped off my feet when I walked up my hardwood stairs, and then developed a hole where my big toe is in a short amount of time. So I decided to avoid boiled wool and try these. I wear a standard 8.5, so I have to go up to the next whole size, which is always a tad big. That was the case with these slippers, but they stay on my feet pretty well and my heels don't slip out. The soles are very thin, so I wouldn't wear these outside. But they're great for non-slid on my hardwood and tile, and when walking up my stairs! I'd say the arch support is moderate. And if you don't like the insoles you can remove them and replace them with your own. They're very comfortable overall and look great. I'd definitely recommend them.

My second pair of these. Actually 9½ would be perfect, but the 9 is too short as I have to use an orthotic insert. I would never be able to wear them without added arch support. What I love the most is the wool fleece lining & woolen fabric foot bed that allows me to wear without socks in the summer evenings or with light or medium socks (Smartwool always!) when it's cooler. They do stretch hence the 2nd pair, which will be for no socks in the summer only.
I'd also recommend:

Love these slippers! So light, warm but not so lines that my feet sweat. I accidentally wore them outside Day 1 since they were so comfy in my feet that I forgot to take them off! Not much arch support, could have used a little more, but there is some. Really happy with purchase!

Am thrilled with the slippers. Should have followed the recommended size but didn't. The good news is the exchange was fast and the second pair fit like a glove. The lining of the slippers is super. Perfect for warmth but no so thick so as to make your feet feel hot and sticky. Thank you Zappos!

I bought these slippers having worn UGG Ansley for the last 3 years. My most recent pair of UGGs didn’t last 6 months before the lining started to tear so I decided to try a different brand. Another reviewer noted that the Olu Kai, while comfortable, were not like the Ansley which provide cloud like comfort and I agree. That said, these are very comfortable and I think the inside lining will last much longer. They are also warm. One of my favorite things about this slipper is they have a completely flat sole. Unlike the UGG slippers which have cracks and crevices which in my life is a pain because I have a toddler who drops food and it would get stuck if I accidentally stepped in it (or anything else on my floor.)

I own the moc and I love them so I ordered the same size in the slipper and it's too short and too tight. Feels like they forgot to allow for the lining!

The sizing is apparently generalized to include 2 sizes. I ordered an 11 and when I tried them on, they were a full size too small. The size shown on the shoe was "10-11" so it's not going to be accurate. They seemed to be good quality and were soft comfortable. Too bad.

Nice looking moccasin type slipper. Fleece looks a bit funky after very light wear, and they are narrow, as are all Olukai shoes but I expect the suede to soften.

I have wide feet and am looking for supportive slippers that are attractive. I ordered this plus another of their sheepskin models in a wide. Oddly, though these do not come in a wide, they fit my foot better. They look good on and are comfy. But, the sole has no tread so I think it will be a slipping hazard. Also there is arch support but not a significant amount (better than my Ugg slippers). It seems to me that the arch is set back a little further than my natural arch.
