New favorite
By nadia | 1/28/2018

I've never worn such comfortable sandals before! These are amazing. So supportive but still cute and stylish. I wore them for 12 hours straight walking around a theme park and had no back and leg pain like I would usually have. The leather has also softened with wear and isn't tough against my foot. Also fits true to size. I'm a size 5 and it was perfect. Can't recommend enough!

Loved them, until they fell apart
By Allie | 12/10/2017

I absolutely loved these shoes for the first few months I had them. Comfortable, stylish, great support for being a strappy sandal. However, I was disappointed because overtime the leather has stretched out so much that I can barely wear them. The back strap on the right foot falls down when I walk. Also, the straps started falling apart (the liner that goes under the leather completely has come off most of the shoe and I had to cut if off so it didn't hang as I walked). Overall - I would have loved these shoes and bought them in every color if they lasted longer. I love OluKai as a company, but expected these shoes to last longer for the price.

You Must Have These Shoes
By Ckenngott | 11/19/2017

Had stress fractures on the bones in the top of my foot and had to wear a boot but was going on a cruise and was looking for a comfortable sandal. Put these on and never had to wear the boot again. These sandals are unbelievable. Wear them everyday now and want them in every color. Bought 4 pairs of other orthopedic sandals and none even come close to the comfort of these. Wear an 8.5 but bought a 9 and perfection.

Perfect for work!
By BB | 10/13/2017

I work at an accounting firm and stand all day, so I had been looking for comfortable, supportive sandals that are cute and work-appropriate, too. I bought the brown/gold combo, and they are perfect! I really have to work hard to convince myself to wear anything else. I get tons of compliments, too. These are great for the workplace. So happy with this purchase!

Very pleased with my purchase
By Marcelle | 8/15/2017

I usually don't write reviews but some of the reviews on here are the reason I bought the shoes in the first place. And I am so thankful I did. These are exactly what I was needing/looking for. In fact, I wore them this weekend while visiting family and my sister said she also bought them and loves them. They are really well made and provide awesome support (I have a super high arch). They aren't stiff like other leather sandals so they move with your foot and provide good circulation. Can't wait to travel with these shoes! I am VERY happy with my purchase. Thanks OluKai!

Love, Love, Love!!!
By Kara | 7/15/2017

I live in Texas and the weather can get pretty hot here so I needed a pair of sandals to tie me over. After I looked these sandals up on Olukai I fell in love with them. The next day I ordered them. I just have to say I LOVE THESE SHOES!!!! They are nicely made, the color is great, I love that they are leather and they're so comfortable! I will buy another pair when I need to. Also, the price is very reasonable due to the fact that they are made out of leather, so buying these shoes are WORTH IT!!!

In L.O.V.E.
By hrathbun | 7/7/2017

I'm obsessed. Bought my first pair and I keep coming back for more! They fit true to size and are pure comfort straight out of the box! I consider my feet somewhere between average and wide and these fit like a glove! I've worn them all day walking/standing with NO COMPLAINTS! Don't hesitate! These are a must have!

My favorite sandals!
By CiCi | 7/5/2017

I recently hiked two days worth of waterfalls along the Blue Ridge Parkway in these fabulous sandals. At the end of the days, I showered, threw on a dress, and wore them right in to Asheville for evening activities. Truly the most comfy sandals I've ever had (and I get constant comments on how cute they are)!

Perfect remedy for plantar fasciitis
By Erin | 4/22/2017

I bought my first pair of these sandals in the Mustard/Bubbly color in April 2016 to wear while on a two week trip to Italy. First off, let me tell you that I was so glad that the Mustard color is actually just tan brown! Secondly, these are the most comfortable shoes and provide great support. We averaged 10 miles and 30 flights of steps a day on our trip and I had no pain from plantar fasciitis! I get so many compliments on these shoes and they have become my favorite sandals. I wore them to Disney World instead of sneakers because they are that comfortable and they are cute! I'm here today to buy more colors! The ones from last year are still in great shape even though I've worn them so much!

Love this sandal
By Whitney | 4/11/2017

I love this sandal so much, I've worn it until the leather is almost coming undone. It goes with my entire wardrobe nearly, and works for dates, work, days out, shopping ... anything. It's cute, but offers more support than a typical flat sandal. I've worn this all day, several days in a row, and it holds up well and my feet, knees and back do not hurt at the end of the day. I have medium/high arches. I'll probably always keep a pair in my closet. I have the mustard/bubbly and it's beautiful in person. It does seem to loosen as you wear it, so keep that in mind.

GOOD SANDAL
By MELJRICH | 8/11/2016

I have the 'Upena sandal in the Charcoal/Pewter which is flattering & neutral in color. Style wise it is casual but not sporty, which means it goes well with a lot of things. I loved the soothing, soft texture the moment I slipped these on.
From a comfort standpoint, they could be better with a more cushioned sole. I have flexible flat feet and my feet are very contrary. I can rarely find a shoe that lessens the pain when I am on my feet. These sandals feel better than most, considering the lack of cushion in the sole.
I like everything about them, as far as fit, quality & style. I think I would be a five star fan with this sandal style and more cushion between my feet and the pavement.
The cost is more than I generally pay.

Love these so far!
By Lottie | 5/11/2016

Great, comfortable and stylish. Only had them a few weeks so we'll see. Regarding durability and the other ratings - too soon to tell. Wish they were made in the US - maybe the company can figure this out soon?

Excellent!!
By Mali | 4/24/2016

I purchased these sandals last week. I am unable to rate durability thus far. I will say, I wore these for five days at Disney world and my feet were extremely happy by the end of every day. True, they don't have much support, but they are comfy. Much nicer than a flip flop. There was no "wearing in" time with these. I will be buying other colors in them. They are that comfortable. I received many compliments on them as well.

Great Purchase
By Whitney | 4/21/2016

I have issues with one of my feet, and therefore, am unable to wear "flats." I was looking for a casual sandal and this pair was recommended. I was skeptical because the arch support doesn't seem like it would be adequate, but have been pleasantly surprised. First, I have had numerous compliments on how cute they are...especially with the gold detail. Secondly, they are so comfortable! I wore these for an entire day at work (I am a teacher so I am on my feet all day) and haven't had any pain in my foot! If you are looking for a cute pair of shoes with arch support, these may be perfect for you. I hadn't heard of this brand until this purchase so I will continue purchasing them if these sandals hold up!

Every pair makes me love OluKai more!
By Laulena | 4/20/2016

I think these shoes are awesome! They are comfy like flip flops, but the straps make them look fancier. These shoes are supportive on your feet and I had no trouble walking miles in a day in these shoes. No blisters and no foot pain! My only issue is the price but in the end I think OluKais are worth the investment.

My new favorite
By Sara | 4/15/2016

This strappy sandal is super cute on. Took a little time to get use to having a loop around my big toe but once I did these are all I wear. Footbed is super comfy too, I'm really happy I made the purchase.

Not quality
By M Califia | 3/29/2016

I was surprised at the poor quality of the workmanship, as this would be my 4th pair of Olukai shoes. Not much support on sole either. Would have been nicer with more cushion and a little height. Design is generally cute.
