Customer Reviews OluKai Kulia

Give them 30 minutes and then you'll love them (at first the leather toe and the sides felt a bit stiff)... great look, feel and support. If they hold up over time they'll easily be the best sandals I've ever owned.

I really debated spending this much money on a pair of sandals. However, there are so many sandals out there and this one appeared to be the best of the best and I decided to take a chance on them (Zappos has such an easy return policy). They did take some time of breaking them in butI loved the way the high quality leather molded itself to my foot, plus the dark wood color and style looks very cool. I don't usually wear sandals but love these as the attention to small quality details, and the etching of the footbed. Usually you get what you pay for; the leather over the top is one smooth piece, not several pieces stitched together and the leather yet strong high quality, I would assume that underneath the bottom is similar to the other OluKai sandals, but I love the way it is patterned and raised. I liked them so much I bought a pair for my brother for this birthday and he loves them (said he never quality leather sandals before). So yes, I would recommend these if you don't mind spending that much money--the high end OluKai Kulia never seems to go on sale, as II checked everywhere online over several months, and even the sale OluKai sandals did not go on sale). So, I couldn't afford a Porsche 911 but I could bite the bullet and get this incredible sandal.

Wow! Never thought I’d pay $100 for sandals. But they are Uber comfortable. Wore them everywhere on vacation.

I’ve a cheaper pair of Olukai sandals for about 6 years... still good but looking a little tired so I treated myself to the top shelf version....

These are worth every penny, I have several pairs of OluKai sandals, they are all comfortable, with good support, but these are by far the best.

If you're going to spend way too much on flip flops, these are the ones. They are comfortable right out the box. But hey, they're flip flops. Cool design on them tho.

I’m a size 9 / Euro 42. Was concerned about ordering one size larger but got size 9. Fit is great on this particular model. Glad I stuck to my typical sizing. Yup...stupid mulah to pay for a flip flop but I’m hoping they last. I like to buy quality things that gets used heavily and develops the patina of use. Who knows, maybe I’ll be buried in the grave and still be wearing these.

Shoe is pretty awesome. Great fit and comfortable. Give it a day to break in.

The Olukai Kulia is a fashionable and attractive sandal, but those qualities certainly do not overshadow it’s functionality. To me, the great comfort and fit are similar to the brand’s Hokua model. My regular shoe size is an 11W, but in the Olukai flips, I always go with a size 12, and the fit is usually perfect. The price point for the Kulia kept me from purchasing sooner, but I am glad I got them. I would like to give the Zappos Customer Service Loyalty Team member Robyn G a huge shout out. The first pair of Kulias I received had a slight issue, and Robyn G assisted me with resolving the problem by arranging an exchange which arrived the.very next day. Thank you Robyn.

Love the sandals, these felt a little too tight. I normally wear shoes 10.5 in size, so I went with size 11 for the sandals. Do you feel really nice, however I do have a high instep so that’s the reason why these feel tight. I am still keeping them

WIsh they were wider…I even ordered a size bigger than normal.

I’ve been absolutely in love with the look and feel of these sandals, but feel severely let down by the design of the sole… The rubber portions of the sole are segmented, and there is no central piece of rubber in the center of the sandal (where the primary pressure point at the ball of my foot) so what has resulted is the leather makes contact with the ground, and is wearing away… I love these too much to get rid of them, so I’m going to be having a cobbler customize a piece of sole rubber to slot in to fill this void, and prevent the leather from breaking down any further.

the leather is a bit sticky and for a 15 my size 14.5 right foot barely has room at the end of the show. seems like about a half size small to me . the right toe has a bind between my toes and might break in but its not comfortable now.

The shoe was not all what the price tag leads you to believe. The strap between the toes hurts. However, the reason I am returning this is because the first time I wore them out my feet got wet from water and the bottom of my feet were BLACK from the sandals.

I am a 10.5 (EU 44-45) in about every shoe I have ever worn, the 11 was perfect. The materials are luxurious for flip flops (and the price matches) But these are the best “dress” flip flops I have ever had on my feet! I gave the comfort 4/5 only be the strip of leather between the toes is a bit stiff but I have gone for long walks and have become accustomed to it.

I’ve tried forever to get a comfortable pair of sandals, but none ever felt right. These are the first that fitted like a glove and felt perfect. No break-in period needed. Very expensive, yes - but worth it! Highly recommended.

I love OluKai flip-flops/thongs/sandals. I'm not so happy about the provenance of the product, i.e. China/PRC but I guess it's the world we live in. I recommend buying a size larger than your normal size. Finish and style are excellent. Will buy 'em again for sure.

These are by far the best sandals I've ever owned. They are comfortable with great arch support and for me there was no break-in period...they were perfect right out of the box. So glad I bought these.

Olukai sandals in general are well made, comfortable and supportive. These are no exception. They are a little stiff at first, but soften up with wear. Styling wise, they look great as far as flip flops go. The leather is high quality and the detailed stitching on the leather covered footbed is striking. I wasn’t much of a sandal person until I discovered Olukai. I own three pairs of their leather sandals now, and all are very nice. The shoes tend to run a little small. If between sizes, go up to the next size.

narrow and the not as roomy as other Olakai models of the same size...The "t" where your toes go is uncomfortable, primarily due to the rough stitching. It's a pity because they look beautiful.
