Reviewed at Olukai
I ordered these in their maximum size (12), and they're sized quite small. I can wear anything from 11-13 depending. These would be on the "order 2 sizes larger" spectrum. As far as that goes I feel like the sizing isn't exactly genuine or maybe closer to Asian product sizing.
The shoes honestly look really nice and feel very comfy. I can't fully get them on my feet, but the fabrics are really pleasant. The sole feels very spongy and springy and I assume they'd be quite comfortable to wear. They're aesthetically pleasing as well. The different colors and fabric textures look really nice and kinda sporty together. I wasn't crazy excited about ordering deck shoes as I've worn the top brand back in the 80s, but these seem to be a jump ahead in deck shoe tech.

Like the shoes but trouble with the size. I have several others pairs of OluKai all in 9s. This style the 9 is too big and the 8.5 too small. Ended up keeping and wearing with the backs pushed down. Little disappointing but I still like OluKais a lot.

First off I love OluKai. The brand, the style, everything. I own several pairs of their slippers and wear them daily, for years. As for these shoes, what a miss. They look clean and stylish irl, however there is a design flaw here. When putting these bad boys on, they develop a wrinkle on the top of the foot that totally detracts from the style and makes them look off. I returned them but should've taken a pic to show what I meant. There's another picture from a review on here that you'll see what I mean, and that person had no socks at all on, so imagine if you were to add any bulk to your foot. No go. Also, there's no possible way anyone would wear them as slip on loafers with the heel down. Way to uncomfortable to be practical at all.

It fits larger than size 7, and it feels wider than size M. I wore it for several days and bought thicker socks hoping the shoes may fit better. But, then I return the shoes. Hope to get a narrow size which may fit better.

I have another pair of these and they fit fine, however the right foot was too snug and cramped my big toe

PRetty cool looking shoes, but too wide for my narrow feet. I will be returning them. Love the flip flops though.

Fit and size were accurate. Construction appears to be good. A little bit pricey for the kind of shoe. Sole padding seems off and puts pressure on foot joints. Not real comfortable. Not a good shoe for walking.

Shoe was a full half size too big. The comfort of the shoe felt very similar to Vans slip ons at twice the price. Ended up returning them.

Love the looks of the shoe but not the way it looks on my feet. Tends to bind up a little bit. betweeen the toe and the to top.

These are not for folks with narrow feet. I really like them and wish they fit me. Length runs accurate but in my case they are too wide. My feet are moving around too much putting them on right out of the box. I imagine they loosen up a bit with time so sent them back.

My second pair of OluKai’s, and my second pair that are so loose in the heel that I walk out of them, despite the shoe size being a 10 when I wear a 10.5. I could try a 9.5, but the 10 length is fine, plus why buy from a shoemaker that can’t get foot sizing right? No more OluKai’s for me.

I love these shoes but they have one massive flaw - the red tab on the white version is not colorfast - the slightest bit of water (rain, puddle, sweat, or if you try to clean them) means the red runs all over the top and sides of the white shoe. What a fail Olukai! How can you possibly make a shoe that doesn't have stable colors in the fabrics or requ ire a shoe to never get wet by any means, or for a white shoe, never be able to clean it? 2/10 must try harder.

The shoe does not look like the photos shown on the website. I love OluKai's but these just feel cheap.

This is the second time I've bought these for my son. He likes the style, and says they are very comfortable. But the rubber on the bottom of the shoes falls off. Thought the first time was a fluke, but it happened again the first time he wore them. Very disappointing.

They run very large. I returned them for the next size down. Those were too small. They come in half sizes but I wish they were truer to size so I didn’t have to go through two exchanges.

I don't know how to review the fit. I ordinarily wear a size 9. A while back I ordered a pair of OluKai Moloa leather slip-ons in 8.5 based on some comments about them running a bit large. They fit perfectly and I'm very happy with them. Based on that, I first ordered the Lae'ahi in 8.5. The length was just barely ok but the width in the toe box was inadequate. I exchanged for a 9. The length of the 9 and overall feel of the toe box was great, but they felt really sloppy in the ankle area and emitted a flip-flop like "smack" on the bottom of my feet with each step. I returned them and decided this shoe just isn't a good fit for me. Too bad. The combo of appearance and breathable mesh is exactly what I was looking for

Purchased a second pair (black) after giving the same shoe in white a try. The white model fits fine but the black came in a bit large and just do not fit well. Really good looking shoe and i get lots of complements.

Great looking shoe! Too big for my husband, who is consistently an 11.5–even in other olukai styles. One unexpected thing: towards the toe box the upper material seems starched and is scratchy. Not sure you’d be able to wear these shoes without socks comfortably.

Wasted money on two different pairs of this shoe. First pair was fairly tight upon arrival. A week later the uppers were stretched out to the point they wouldn't stay on my feet. Then ordered a half sizer smaller which were initially quite tight, then a week later were so loose they wouldn't stay on my feet. I'm a huge fan of OluKai flip flops, but these shoes are terrible. Waste of $200.

Your service has become unreliable- you promised delivery on Tuesday when I purchased, then it changed to Wednesday. Now it is Friday and there are still not here but out for delivery. You suck. I don’t know how they fit or if I like them bc I haven’t received them. I’m letting you know I don’t put up with your deceitful behavior. I’ve been a loyal customer for over 10 yrs, way before you sold out to Amazon. Get this right.
