Customer Reviews OluKai Upena

Second pair! I LOVE this sandal.

I have high arches and plantar fasciitis- wore these all day with no problem. They’re not bulky, very comfortable and the dark brown is great on brown skin.

I really liked these, but they were a little small. They are going back. Zappos has a very similar style by Naturalizer that is on sale now, so will get that instead.

I would say mild arch support. But very nice Sandles.

So comfortable. My second pair. Love these shoes !

The tiny little strap next to the buckle fell off so Zappos is sending me a replacement. Really great customer service. Other than that, these sandals are super comfortable! No blisters :)

These were comfortable from day one. I teach kindergarten, and I wore them all day with no problems. They are adorable on — I've worn them with distressed jeans and a cotton dress.

I’m really excited about the sandals. I tried one after another looking for something comfortable and attractive. These were the winners. With some modification. I did have to put them on a shoe stretcher as they felt a bit snug in the width...especially for my left foot which is a bit bigger than the right. After the stretching..perfection. (I recommend having a shoe stretcher on hand for fine tuning a shoe that doesn’t feel quite right. It makes a huge difference) I have a high arch, high instep....and these don’t effect either in a negative way. They really are so very comfortable. A soft footbed. And what may seem like stiff leather at the beginning softens up quickly. Plus, I find them very stylish. I am a size 7...ordered a size 7 and they are just right. I’m a fan.

These are really comfy but when when I first tried them on I thought I was going to have to return them. They were soooooooo tight on my feet! I didn't think they would be comfortable at all. I went ahead and put them on and wore them around the house. After about an hour, the leather stretched and they became super comfortable. I'm honestly really surprised they fit after the way they felt when I first tried to put them on. The leather is really soft and the arch support is nice. They feel secure on my feet so I think they'll be fine for walking long distances. I ordered a 9 and an 8. Honestly, there wasn't that much size difference but I wound up keeping my normal size 9.

I love these sandals! I ordered a size 6 and they fit perfectly and were comfortable and easy to wear from day 1. I often have problems getting a comfortable fit in my shoes, even sandals, but these are very comfortable.

Love, love, love these sandals. I've been wearing them almost nonstop since opening the box - even sneaking into work with them on. They're stylish, comfortable, decent in rain even. Great for travel - they pack flat, are pretty lightweight, go with everything from shorts to dresses, and are comfortable enough to wear all day out sightseeing. My feet are pretty wide, and these stretched to fit over the first few days. (A few reviewers note they hike in these - while a mild hike would be ok, for more demanding hikes I'd want some support and protection these do not offer. These arent for hiking - but they are for almost anything else!) Now, to buy a second pair...

Love these sandals! I'm really picky about shoes, but these didn't hurt my feet or back at all. They were super-comfy from the moment I put them on. I usually wear 7 1/2 but since these are only available in whole sizes, I went down to size 7. They fit perfectly. I have fairly narrow heels, but wider toward the toes. I have a small bunion and was worried about whether these sandals would work... but they work completely fine. I love how stylish they are-- they're great with jeans, shorts, or dresses.

I really like these sandals (mind you, I'm 43 and recently realized I have to minimize wearing heels). They are really comfortable right out of the box and the adjustable strap is useful (around the heel) because one of my feet is bigger than the other. The two tone is really nice, as well. Great support. The 4/5 on style is just because they aren't even intended to be super stylish, I don't think. The 4/5 on comfort is just because they did start rubbing a good bit, close to blisters by the end of the day and I had only walked 5000 steps.

I'm not much into wearing sandals, but these are amazing! So comfortable, great arch support. I'm a fan! Will be buying more OluKai shoes!

My feet are warmly held in these shoes. I love them!

Love it!!

cutest good for your feet sandals i’ve found!

Cute sandal, although a little more plasticky looking than I’d envisioned. Admittedly, I purchased these while pregnant, so my feet might have been slightly swollen, but I’m a true 8.5 who generally sized down to an 8 in the absence of half sizes. I couldn’t get my foot into the size 8 at all. My arches were too high and foot too fat (I do have high arches but normally have slightly narrow feet). Size 9 worked well. Stylistically they’re cute but nothing amazing. I got the bronze initially and then exchanged for the platinum/gold bc the latter felt more versatile with silver and gold tones. I’m a suburban mom, and while these are great for “mom duty” and reasonably cute with summer dresses/outfits, they’re don’t dress up well, and remind me of slightly fancier Tevas from the 90s. I kept them bc they’re comfortable enough for bicycling around town and more attractive than many shoes with that functionality.

This shoe has great support. And all the straps are placed so as to be comfortable. I *almost* kept these but in the end I wanted something with less foot coverage.

I love this shoe, but the heel is too wide for my foot. It's very pretty but doesn't work for me.

These sandals are extremely comfortable - I wore them for 12 straight hours the first day and nearly every day since they arrived and I've had no discomfort. I was worried that the straps on the sides of my foot toward the back or the buckle itself would irritate my ankle but they are positioned perfectly to avoid rubbing (the back buckle attachment is a little awkward to buckle but super comfortable so worth it). The soles of these sandals make me feel like I'm floating - they are somehow very soft - and the straps are soft leather but provide good stabilization. Some strappy sandals don't hold your foot stable and you walk off the sole but that's not the case here. I love the look for a flat sandal and these have taken me from work to chasing 2 little kids on the weekends no problem.

I love OluKai shoes. I have their flip flops and love them but I gave these a try and I may love these more.

I haven't tested these over longer distances, however they are extremely comfortable with the walking I have done.

I ordered many different sandals trying to find a pair that would work for my trip to Italy. I wanted sandals that would be good for walking but could also be worn with a dress. These sandals met those criteria. I wore them without any breakeven period and had no problems whatsoever. I walked all over Italy in them - sometimes wearing them 12 hours a day. They were comfortable, and I and had no issues with blisters or foot pain.
