Customer Reviews Columbia Molokini III

Columbia RUINED Montrail's Molokini! Surely you have the mold to make them EXACTLY like the original. DUE IT! Customers need their perfect sandal! The ONLY thing to possibly change was better glue for circles on sole. But i could easily glue my own. Bring back my montrail molokinis! Come on China knockoffs where are you when we need you? Why didn't Montrail warn us so we could have stocked up? 10 yr customer. I live in flip flops and montrails are the only comfortable ones. Perfect arch support. Springy & smooth footbed. Perfect heel cup. So far Reef slap 3 is sort of ok (good springiness) but yucky rough footbed and no heel cup. New balance revive thong looked promising but too heavy, and stiff, no heel cup. I'm waiting.....

This is not the Columbia Molokini anymore! The foot bed has been contoured - more narrow at mid foot, less cushioning and arch support. I absolutely loved the old Molokini fit and style and this Molokini III is so disappointing! Sending them back. Any suggestion for a replacement cushioned flip flop?

I've been buying Molokins for years, usually get a new pair every year. But sadly that will no longer be the case as this newer style (post-Columbia acquisition of Montrail) is nothing like the old. The straps attach to the footbed at an odd spot, closer to the foot then the old style, and the result is very uncomfortable. It is too tight and yet also gaps in spots. The material feels not as soft and cushioning as the old material and is far uglier. So disappointed to see that Columbia has ruined a great shoe.

Molokini ll was incredible, I wore them for years. This sandal is uncomfortable and not true to the previous versions, very sad. Please bring Molokini ll back!

The Molokini ll was the greatest shoe. It was the most comfortable flip flop, beat out all the orthopedic and comfort ones. I wore it around the house for years and had 4 pairs. It was the only shoe that my very problematic feet were absolutely comfortable in. The new design is terrible. It runs a whole size smaller and is much narrower than the previous version. I wore socks in the winter with the previous design, but could barely get my foot in this one. My foot kept rubbing on the straps. It is better looking than the old ones, but SO uncomfortable. PLEASE bring back the Molokini ll!

I've worn the Molokini ll for years and this Molokini lll style is not a good replacement. It doesn't really mold to my foot and provide the comfort that I expected. Please, Columbia, bring back the Molokini ll

Really REALLY loved molokini I and II. This model is real disappointment and I see why phasing out. Hard and very uncomfortable footbed, narrows high on foot. Ribbon between ties harsher and not soft like previous. Going back. So sad earlier versions gone - I’ll be nursing along my four pair.

I had to try this flip flop out of deperation, despite the bad reviews, because my old Montrails finally gave up the ghost. As other reviewers have stated, Columbia ruined this flip flop. It is narrower than the old Montrail version, and has no arch support. Thank goodness for Zappos return policy!

I miss my Molokini ll. They were the best sandals ever!!! I was hoping the Molokini llI would be close but no such luck. Maybe Columbia will make Molokini lV and bring back previous design. I’d i only knew they were going away I would have bought several pairs.

So miss the old montrail molokinis. Would buy several pair but after reading reviews that these do not begin to be the same I am writing this review instead. I have 5 daughters that also wore these and no other flipflops. Please bring back the old tried and true design. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Please bring back the Molokini 2. The "3" is a huge step backwards. Don't fix what isn't broke. Will be returning these.

Well, I should’ve listened to other reviewers. This redesign is not for the better. The cushion isn’t as great and I found them to be too small. I wear an 11.5, ordered a 12, and my heels were on the edge of the show. Until now, 12s are either good or just a tad too big for me. I’ve never had a 12 that was too small!
