Always loved how my friends shoes looked on her, so finally bought a pair. Really like them. They don't have much arch support, but are very comfortable over all. They are slightly snug when I first put them on, but can only assume over time there will be slight stretch (per my friend and type of shoe). I just got mine, but my friend has had hers for over a year (she is teacher, so lots of walking, standing and moving) and hers still look great!

This is my second pair. First pair I ordered in another color in size 6.5 & fit perfectly. Ordered second pair in same size and was too tight. Ended up reordering a size 7. I think the first pair was stretched out by a previous customer. Love the way the fabric allows for ventilation. Arch support is great, just like the OluKai flip flops. Note that the insoles are removable so you can use an orthotic!

Love these. Have them in blue and maroon. Everyone compliments them. Dirt rinses off. They are the perfect summer shoe.

I've got two pairs of the Pehuea...I LOVE them. They are super comfortable, breathable, and have good support for such a simple looking shoe. I wear them all the time in the summer, for work and weekend days with lots of walking.
I ordered my first pair a few years back, and an 8 was perfect, as that is my normal size. When I ordered my second pair just a few weeks back, same size, they were too small at my big toe. At first I wondered if they just needed to stretch out but they never did, so I returned them for an 8.5. I have lots of other OluKai sandals and am always an 8 so I'm not sure if they changed something about the toe-box or what? But I would recommend NOT assuming they will stretch out if they feel a bit too tight.

I usually where a 9/9.5 so I decided to go for the 9.5 but they run smaller so I exchanged them for a size 10, which is what I wear in their Kulapa Kai flip flops.
They are super cute, comfortable and provide great support. I can’t wait to buy another pair!

Loveee!! I want all the colors! Bought them to wear while on my feet all day at work; I’m a teacher. Super cute, comfy, and nice enough to wear with a dressy outfit. I may never wear dress shoes again.

I initially ordered these a half size down and while they fit I worried that my toes would feel scrunched if I talked in them too long. I ordered the half size up and they are awesome. They say they have good arch support and that is accurate. I have high arches and sometimes struggle to find shoes that actually have good arch support even if they are labeled as such. They are cute and versatile. I definitely recommend!

The sizing on these is extremely inconsistent from pair to pair or color to color, I'm not sure which. I tried on a size 10 in the color Tapa at a local store that fit perfectly, but it was the last pair they had and I disliked the color. I ordered a 10 in black from Zappos, assuming that they would be perfect. I love the way they look, but they are MUCH too small, at least a full size smaller than the 10's I'd tried in the store. I'm disappointed. I don't know if it's worth trying an 11.

I bought the grey pair and I loved them so much I bought a second pair. I wear them almost everyday during the warm months; after a year they still look and feel great.
I recommend buying a half size smaller than usual if you plan to wear them without socks.

I usually wear a 9.5. The width and length were true to size, but I ended up buying a half size larger because I wanted a little more length for extensive walking. Also, with the 9.5s my rather thin socks took up just enough space that they weren't as comfortable as I would have liked. I have a medium width, very low volume foot. The size 10s are cut wider than the 9.5s, so I am using an additional footbed to take up some volume and am very happy with this shoe in this size.
The quality of the shoes seems outstanding, and I have since purchased a second pair in full leather. I will probably end up with more of them since they come in many different colors.

I have looked all over for these shoes. Saw some in Vail but they were all sold out of my size. Talked to people there who had them and said they were the most comfortable shoes they've ever had. So when I got home I tried Zappos and of course they had them in many colors (couldn't decide which ones I liked best) and my size. I was thrilled! Ordered the tan ones but am going to order either black or navy for fall. I absolutely love them!!! They are so comfortable and the size is perfect - I wear an 8.5 and that's what I ordered and they fit great. I have Morton's neuroma on both feet and these don't seem to bother it at all.

I have been looking for a great slip on for the summer. With lots of airport travel these are perfect and soooo comfortable! They didn’t need any break in time. Will order other colors.

I have many foot problems - bunions, big toe arthritis, fat pad atrophy, high arches - and so have tried on many shoes trying to find something a bit dressier than running shoes that I can wear for a few hours when needed. This shoe is the one I finally chose, in beige, black, and navy. The beige mesh upper stretched right away to accommodate the bunions; the black and navy leather uppers are tighter (but still comfortable) across the top of my foot because of my high arches, but are stretching out with each wearing. I wish this shoe came in a D width, but the medium width works pretty well - just a little rubbing where the bunion bump is. I add ball of foot pads for comfort, but the the shoe overall is pretty nicely cushioned - not like my running shoes, but good enough for several hours worth of comfort. I've added some small arch pads also. My full length Morton's extension orthotics were made for my running shoes and were too bulky to fit into this shoe. Because the shoe is pretty stiff, my arthritic toes don't bend much when walking and so I can manage without the orthotics. I wear a 8.5W Brooks running shoe. The right size in this shoe for me was 7.5. I also tried the 7.0, which was a little tighter but still fit. Both the 7.5 and 7.0 were too wide in the heel and wouldn't stay on my feet. I installed some silicone extra-thick heel grips which solved the problem. The navy and black leather look very similar to canvas, so I feel like they are more than appropriate looking for summer, and because they're leather I won't hesitate to wear them in the colder months also. The interior of the black and navy leather are fully lined with a soft suede material, including the removable insole. The beige is lined just in the back half, where the leather is, as is the insole; the mesh part in the front isn't lined but is comfortable anyway. This is a very high quality shoe for a very reasonable price.

First of all, I want to say: please don't stop making these. I have had knee problems most of my life (my knee cap doesn't like to stay in place) and the shoes I wear make all the difference with the accompanying bouts of knee pain. I couldn't believe how quickly my knee pain eased when I started wearing these and I feel it is mainly due to the excellent arch support and placement. I have tried all the usual higher-end companies and this simple loafer/slip on has been the best. I do think it runs a half-size smaller - I tried them on in a store before I bought them here and had to go up to a 9.5 when I almost always wear a 9. I also usually prefer Keens because I like my toes to spread out and I was concerned they would be cramped in these, but in the half-size up they were not. This shoe is perfect in all ways for me, they are lightweight, good for both travel and work, easy to get on and off, look cute, and best of all, they stopped my knee pain. What's not to like? I now have several colors and hope they make something similar for winter! (The charcoal color, btw, works with both navy and black.)

These are my new favorite shoes! I was not sure they were going to work at first because I have a high instep, and getting my foot into slip-on shoes can be a challenge But, the OluKai Pehuea is a lot softer and more flexible than it looks, and goes on easily. The shoe does run large, and I did have to go a 1/2 size down to get a good fit. But, once done, they are very comfortable, even for all day wear and long walks, with no slipping at the heal. The only problem, if I can call it that, is that there are so many colors and fun patterns to choose from!

Classy looking shoes. Much nicer than similar styles I've seen friends wearing. Very comfortable too. As a diabetic, I should wear closed toe shoes but rarely do. These should be great traveling and sightseeing in Mexico's older cobblestone streets. Delighted to find another brand I will buy from again. Thanks, Olukai!

I love these shoes! I have them in gray and just got the Trench Blue. They are super comfy, light, but very supportive. They are my go-to summer shoes if I need a break from flip-flops. I wear very low cut thin socks with them but could wear them without if it wasn't too hot.

Based on reviews I ordered a half size smaller then my normal size and unfortunately they were too small! Bummed as I really like the style for summer and wanted something other then a flip flop to work.

These are extremely comfortable shoes. They have pretty good arch support. They do feel slightly big, but if I went down half a size I can tell they’d be too small. They were comfortable right away though - didn’t need breaking in and didn’t give me blisters.

I love these shoes! They are so comfortable, even when walking around a lot. This is the second pair of this shoe I've purchased, they come in a nice variety of colors. I usually wear a 7 or 8, and the 7.5 in these shoes fits me perfectly.

I love these! I wore them on vacation and walked everywhere and they were so comfortable. They do run a smidge large. I am typically a size 8 and I was ok with the 8 although I probably could face sized down a half size
