Overall super cute but my extra narrow foot slides around even with straps adjusted as tight as they will go. Also, there is a terrible oil like smell from the shoes. Sort of like a new tire.

I love OluKai flip flops, so I thought I'd give these a try. I needed a cute sandal with some support and these fit the bill. They are comfortable and the one spot that's rubbing a bit on my left big toe will hopefully lessen as the leather straps stretch out with wear.

I really wanted to love these.......unfortunately they were too tight across my big toe knuckle, and I was afraid I'd be dealing with raw toes every time I wore them. I have bunions on both big toes, and I'm sure if I didn't they would have been fine. So if you have any kind of bunion, I would look to another sandal. Otherwise, these were so comfortable; I almost kept them. The leather is substantial and soft, the footbed is amazing. I loved them otherwise!

These sandals are soooo comfortable and fit my narrow feet. Given the price, I wanted a style that was more versatile, and I didn't care for the way they looked with a skirt. If I ever found them on sale, I would consider purchasing them.

I LOVE OluKai flip flops (Kalupa Kai style) so I ordered these hoping they would have the same arch support and cushion in the footbed. These sandals have a little less arch support but are still comfortable although I feel like the flip flops had a little more cushion in them. I usually wear a 9 1/2 medium width but the size 9's fit perfectly (no half sizes available) in the length and are just a little loose overall (but with the heat of the summer I think it's fine).

Cute, cute, sandal. SOFT leather. Unfortunately, the buckle on left foot dug into my ankle. Right foot was fine. What a shame because otherwise, they're great.

These sandals are true to size and offer very good arch support. The only reason I'm not keeping them is the style is a little strappier than I would like.

Super comfy footbed, as I expected from OluKai (their flip flops are amazing) but the straps were just tight enough that they pushed my foot backward, so my heel was almost hanging over the back edge of the shoe. Toe section is a little tight as well. Might try sizing up to a 10 (I'm consistently a 9.5 but this brand doesn't do half sizes) but if my foot still is pushed back, that's going to be a lot of open space in the front of the sandal. Bummed, because I love the look of these!

These are beautiful, and would probably be comfortable for people without plantar fasciitis. But there is just no arch support.

I was disappointed in these sandals, after reading great reviews of the brand. This is my first trial of this brand. I felt the arch support and bottom of the sandal was not supportive at all. I have been a big fan of Rainbow brand sandals and this brand seemed similar with more style options, but not for me.

As far as length and width goes...fits perfect. But the straps are so tight across my foot. I have size skinny size 7 feet...but the top straps and the toe strap squeeze the heck out of them! I'm sure they'll stretch, but wow.

I just got these today and will be wearing them inside for a couple of days because...my big toes are apparently too obese for the toe thing and I'm hoping the leather will stretch out. I mean, I do have an extra big big toe (compared with my size 7B foot) but sheesh, this is nuts. (Well, you know what they say about a woman with an extra-big big toe right? Me neither...) I sure hope the leather stretches because these are super cute and (mostly) comfortable (with a very small arch support but better than nothing). I'll report back!

I loved these sandals, style-wise. However, for my feet, they didn't have enough arch support and for that reason were uncomfortable for me to walk in. Unfortunately, I have to send them back. I have difficult to fit feet, so I'm very happy with Zappos awesome customer service that allows me to try many pairs of shoes until I find the pair that works for me.

Wanted to love this shoe. But it was too big and did not have great arch support. Felt really flat, sadly had to return it.

These are great sandals. They are incredibly comfortable and I could walk for miles in them. My only complaint is that the gold on the strap started coming off, so it makes them look really old and worn and I've only worn them over a 2 week time period. Maybe I got a defective pair, I don't know.

I was disappointed. I was expecting red sandals… not peach ones. The color is not as shown on the website. I didn’t even try them on. I returned them. ?

I bought these because I thought there would be some arch support like in another line from this brand. Though they seem well made, there is no arch support and really no cushion in these shoes. They were not comfortable to walk in even with the foot in which I have no arch or pain issues.

I love the looks of these sandals but they are not particularly comfortable. They’ve actually gotten more uncomfortable over time. The toe loop is too tight even though my big toe is not particularly wide.

These shoes are definitely not made for wider feet. I am usually a 6.5 so ordered both the 6 and 7. Length wise I would say the 7 fit better although was a little long. The straps were very tight. I guess I didn't read the description well enough and wasn't expecting the plastic footbed and bottom. The were definitely more for beach wear and I was looking for something with leather straps that looked a little more dressy but still casual.

These sandals were recommended for vacation walking. They seem very comfortable and made of excellent leather. Unfortunately the pair I received had a manufacturing defect, but a big thank you to customer service helping me resolve the issue.

I liked the look, but the toe strap on the right toe was too tight, and the sandal had very little arch support.

I was excited about the design of this shoe, but the strap across the wide part of the foot is NOT adjustable, and it is extremely narrow. I ordered half a size up, and it was still way too small. The leather upper is also pretty flimsy. Disappointed, but people with narrow feet might like them.

Shoe fits true to size. Very comfortable foot bed with good support. Two things I don’t like: 1. Leather is extremely tight around the toes. I had to put on first hole so my little toe wouldn’t lose circulation (my feet aren’t wide) This also causes strap to be so short, it doesn’t fit through hoop. 2. The buckle rubs right below my ankles. Gave me blisters after first wear. Overall, beautiful design and looks great on. I’m only hoping the leather stretches.

Beautiful sandal. As stated in other reviews, it is super tight around the toe. The sandal felt great everywhere else. I am going to try and exchange for a larger size because the pain was unbearable.
