Customer Reviews OluKai Hawai'iloa Manu hope

So pretty but tried two larger sizes and neither fit. Bummer.

So disappointed. The same shoe, same size, in a different color fit perfectly. I have ordered two pairs of these in taupe/gray and they are both too small in the toe box.

Definitely go up 1/2 size - minimally. I wear thin/no show socks so this was fine. If you like to wear medium-thick socks you might feel squeezed. The style is great, would have liked the color of the dark brown on back of shoe to have the contrast it does in the pictures. IRL the color is not that deep and the olive is more on the grey side. Not a deal breaker for me bc its still cute. Nice to have a little ankle boot that isn't clunky. Wears more like a sneaker which is nice. They are lightweight and a good casual + option.

These fit quite well and looked nice, but they're too nice for what I bought them for - walking around in the wet yard with the dog. If they had been unbelievably comfortable or warm, I might have kept them.

The front ‘tongue’ is a little high and rigid for me. It cuts into the front of my ankle when walking. The Taupe Grey color way doesn’t have any grey in it. Very much looks tan.

These were strangely short in my opinion. Cute style, seemed comfortable but too small- I ordered an 8 which I wear in every other brand, but would have liked to exchange for an 8.5 but they are sold out everywhere.

I love the look of these, wear their size 9 flips but these shoes in size 9 fit more like an 8.5 so I sent them back.

This is my second pair of Olukai boots. My first pair felt narrow and these do too. However, that has not stopped me from wearing them. They have stretched a bit which has helped. I have the taupe grey color and they are more of a tan than grey. The wool lining is nice up here in New England and I have not found that splatter from walking on wet roadways has stained or changed the color. I typically wear an 8 1/2 and the size felt true, though snug on the sides.

Love the look. Overall pretty comfortable, but a tad narrow for me and the front came up just a bit high where it seemed like it might get irritating.

Fit was OK, however, the tung hit my lower leg when I walked. very uncomfortable for an 85-year-old. Sorry

I normally wear a 5M in OluKai shoes, but I had to go to a 6.5M in this bootie (I wanted to wear it with a no show sock). I very much liked the look and the larger size worked, but they were extremely uncomfortable. They were too stiff and the lining was very comfortable against my ankle. Since I wanted to like them, I thought about keeping them to try to make them work, but for this price, there was too much risk. Very disappointing.

I ordered an 8.5 which is my usual shoe size and they fit extremely small. Additionally, the 8.5 pair I received looked as if they were different dye lots on each boot. The left vs right were slightly different colors, not a huge difference but it enough that it was noticeable and the white band around the sole was crooked on one pair. I really had high hopes for these and ordered again in a 9. The 9s fit great, colors match, and the white around the sole is even on each pair. I realize mistakes can happen with any pair of shoes, but for the price I think quality control would’ve caught the other pair.

These looks nice and may be great if the fit was right. I typically wear a size 8.5 and my other Olukai’s are 8.5. They ran very small. The 9 is sold out.

Whew I'm an 8, ordered an 8.5 and still I felt like my toes were being pushed into a painful pointy triangle. My feet are a little wide but not outrageously so. Too bad because they're cute.

The shoes were cute, however, they made my feet look really long (and I have pretty small feet). Also, the top front part cut into my ankle when I walked or went up or down a flight of stairs. The actual feel of the shoe was comfortable, but I returned them. I liked the ECCO low cut zip bootie much better.

Zero cushioning. Very disappointing.

I love Olukai shoes! I have at least 9 pairs and have always worn a 6 1/2 in every style, boots, tennis shoes, sandals. I have this same boot in a different color and have loved them for years! I have always been able to put the shoes on and wear them all day from day one. Not this boot in black. For some reason they are cut too high up in the front so they rub you legs and are extremely stiff. This is the second pair I have tried and both were uncomfortable. Too expensive to take a chance they will soften up. Very disappointed to send them back.

I like the flat bottoms of Olukai shoes and would have loved these except the pull “string” at the back, which you have to use, broke the first time I tried them on. It really is just a thick string glued into holes at the back of the bootie. If they make these with stitched leather pulls next year, I’ll definitely try them again.

Felt cheap

I really liked these, but they were a touch too short even though a 7 is usually plenty roomy for me in shoes. Arch support was very nice. Color was more gray than pictured. Sadly had to return.

Returning for a different color. Already own a carmel colored pair and love them.

Cute, casual booties. I have a bunion and these boots fit just like all the Olukai shoes.

these were half size too small but quality and comfort are worth the price, while these are not inexpensive they are very high quality and very comfortable and I love the fact that they are waterproof, great for travel.
