Customer Reviews OluKai Pehuea Leather

Okay I am SO FREAKING HAPPY with these shoes but it took some trial and error, so I wanted to leave my tips so that everyone can be as happy as I am with these. First, I get blisters from almost every shoe I put on, so finding comfort out of the box is so difficult! I am a true size 9 but they ran small, so the 9.5 fit perfectly. The arch support was TOO MUCH actually, but thankfully someone else left a tip that the arch support can be removed!!! So I bought an UGG insole replacement (also on zappos) in a size 9 and VOILA! I have the most adorable shoes with the comfort of an UGG boot!! I couldn't be happier!! I get so many compliments - the snakeskin design really adds a little something - that I went back and bought the clay colored shoes as well. With the modifications listed, I was able to wear them straight out of the box with zero issues!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE!!

Stumbled across the Olukai brand in a small shoe boutique while on a recent vacation. I purchased the Nohea in the taupe color while on vaca and fell in love with them so I decided to give this style a try as I was looking for something a bit different. Purchased the black nubuck. These are so cute, trendy and comfortable. I ordered up a 1/2 size after reading the reviews but needed to go back for my normal size (6 1/2) as the larger size was just too long. I have bunions and was worried about the width but they were comfortable right out of the box. These shoes offer great support and I see myself getting a lot of wear out of these...I'm already considering another color!

I love OluKais, have several pair. I have convinced others to buy the as well. I wanted to love these. They are simply a narrow shoe. Even went 1/2 size up after reading reviews (right thing to do btw). Still - very narrow. Sigh. Returned.

First, I did not know that Zappos carried this brand of shoe. I originally ordered my first pair from OluKai in my regular size 10, however, it was too tight, Medium width. Had to return to the company at my expense over $25.00! Discovered that Zappos carried them and was relieved, so I ordered the same show in the Espresso but sized up to an 11. Fit well BUT the Espresso color is a shade of muddy brown. I am exchanging for the color Fox. If you have a wide foot go up a 1/2 size or in my case there was no 1/2 size after a size 10 so I upped to an 11.

This shoe is beautiful in Clay leather. I wanted to keep it, but the toe box is just slightly narrow so the inside of my big toe rubs against the shoe. Wah. I have a Medium width foot. I normally wear size 8, and bought these in 8.5. I think an 8 would have been just a tiny bit too small. Style-wise, it can't be beat. A classier version than Vans (which does have its' place sometimes, too) and it just looks a bit sleek. The removable insole is substantial, and arch support is a bit aggressive.

I love how comfortable these shoes are! Please note that my feet run narrow and I very often will buy a narrow width. I took a chance on these based on other’s reviews that these run narrow and am not disappointed. If your foot is wider I would think these might be too narrow.

I love these shoes- the leather is nice and a very comfortable fit. My only complaint is there is a flaw on the tread of the right shoe -it’s not shaped the same as the other foot. You can see it in the picture I posted. I was going to exchange for another pair but then they were out of my size

I visited a friend and she had these on, and I absolutely loved them. Took out my phone and ordered myself a pair right then and there. Right out of the box they were comfortable, and my first day wearing I didn't get any blisters. I was also happy to discover these were quite comfortable without socks. My feet are wide, maybe even boxy, so I personally would have loved if this shoe was a little wider, with a rounder toe box. I wear a size 10 and the width of these shoes was a little narrow (but the leather has since stretched and feel great now), and too long, which I found strange. My big toe hits a weird place, and the leather is wearing strangely, making undesirable folds in the leather from where my foot bends and where my toes hit the inside of the toebox. Not a deal breaker, but thought worth noting for anyone else with large & wide feet :)

I have two pair of these with perforated leather uppers for warm weather. I have wide feet and love them, so was looking forward to a solid leather pair for cooler weather. I ordered the espresso color in 8 ( 7.5 foot) and the right shoe was too snug, plus I didn’t like the shade of brown. I exchanged them for a clay pair, hoping that both would fit, but both shoes were snug, the right so much so that I couldn’t get my foot into it. There is a problem with size consistency in this shoe. Very disappointed- I really wanted to wear these. I wish shoe manufacturers would realize that some of us have wide feet but don’t want to wear orthopedic clunkers!

I've been wearing OluKai sandals for years because they have such great arch support and the soles are comfortable. These had arch support, but the soles are really stiff, so they don't have any bend when walking, which made them uncomfortable.

These shoes were much smaller than other OluKai shoes I have ordered. I couldn't even get my foot in them to try them at all so I don't know how the width and support rated. The style was cute, I just couldn't get them on my feet.

I normally wear a 7.5/8. In OluKai sandals I wear an 8 but in these a 7.5 was just right. In the 8 my heel kept slipping.

Normally, shoes of this style don't fit me comfortably. I love OluKai's sandals so thought I'd give these a shot. LOVE them, soft padding, love the fold down heel. I wore them all day while cleaning my house with extreme comfort. I'm an 11, these are true to size.

Fit is good and comfortable. The shoe is a little on the heavy side, but I still love it!

This is a really cute shoe and the size was perfect. However, the leather was too stiff for me and I wasn't too sure if it was going to soften up with wear so I ended up returning it. I just wished it would have worked out for me.

My New Year’s resolution is to only wear shoes that feel good on my feet (plantar fasciitis)and don’t make my knees hurt. These are perfect! They are cute, casual and super comfortable. Olukai Paniolo flip flops are my favorite of all time and these are now my favorite casual sneakers. The canvas ones are great too, but these are a little more padded, better for colder weather and just as comfortable. Thanks Zappos and Olukai!!

After reading reviews I decided to order one half size up, size 9, and glad I did. They’re just a tad loose, but the 8.5s would’ve been too small. LOVE this shoe and the color! Highly recommend them!

This is my second pair of Olukai shoes. I had to purchase 1/2 size larger for the fit to be right. I love this particular color and type-super comfy, soft and stylish.

I LOVE THESE! I was worried they were rub my little toe because of other reviews. I wear footies with these. I ran all over town yesterday and the are so comfortable and look great with my skinny jeans!

I am really happy with my purchase. My feet are on the narrower side and I didn’t have the issue of my heel slipping out. I wore them all over Denver and never had any foot or back pain.

I can't wait to wear my new leather OluKais. I wore my mesh topped ones most of the summer. They were so, so comfortable. The firm arch support allowed me to wear them without having to insert my custom orthotics. I've ordered another pair and await their arrival next week. Plan to spend most of the winter alternating between these two pairs!

Love every pair of olukai’s I have. These are no different. Super comfy. True to size and they look great.

Very cute shoe. Unfortunately I have narrow feet and these felt a little wide , but really a nice style.

I bought the espresso color. These shoes feel really good on my feet. With my orthotics in the shoes, the heel feels a little lower than the toe, but it's a very comfortable shoe. The materials, especially the leather appear to be good quality and well made. It's a little narrow for my forefoot, but being leather, I expect the shoes to stretch out some more, as it already has a little, after one day. Last night I used the flipdown heel feature when I took out the trash. At first I thought it was weird, but it's clever! The one tiny disappointment is the color (espresso), which is a cooler brown than I thought it would be. I do about 3 miles of walking every weekday, to and from transit. I have been looking to replace some lace up tennis and running shoes which have been hurting my feet, even with orthotics, and it's partly that I can't seem to get the laces quite right, so I decided to try loafers. For comparison, my foot is 24.5 cm long and 10.4 cm wide, with big toe and second toe the same length. I must use custom orthotics for collapsed arches.

Very cute style but felt tight in the toe box on my right foot that has a small bunion. I am returning for a mesh style in hopes that will give me more room.
