Favorite Flip Flops!
This is my second pair of these flip flops. The 1st pair lasted almost 4 years. I tried other styles by Olukai as the quality is top notch but returned them and came back to these ones. They are the perfect fit for my widish, high arched feet. They're so comfortable and have great traction. They're year round footwear as I wear them like slippers (inside) in the winter. I've worn these on semi-arduous woods walks and rock hopping in the river and they've kept me upright and steady. I may buy a second pair to have on hand in case the style is discontinued. Of note for me was the fact that my original purchase was a size 7 and I am 7 1/2. With my recent purchase I had to return the 7, they were too small, and get an 8.

Perfect Summer Sandal
If you've never tried OluKais, you need to get on board. These are the most comfortable sandals! Durable as well. I wear them exclusively in summer, and have also purchased OluKais for my husband and adult children. The colors are great. Everyone loves them. The non-skid sole makes them great for boating.One of the adult children here, mom isn't lying these sandals are worth the price, you can walk long distances in these, they have arch support and they contour to your foot. I bought a pair for my boyfriend and he is in love with them. Another 5 stars from me and 5 from my boyfriend that's 15 stars in one review!!

So Comfortable but awful quality,
I bought my first pair of OluKai Ohana a month ago..I thought I would try another style. This style is much better fit for my foot. I have sciotica and Planters Facilitis at times and these are SO comfortable I actually prefer these to the Ohana's. I am still trying the Ohana's but I think the arch support is not right for me. These Kulapa Kai's are great! I bought an 8M and the fit was perfect.Second review...yes they are comfortable but the quality SUCKS. The sole separated from the upper sole within 3 months and I used them alternatively with 2 other pair...never worn outside... the sythetic (undisclosed what it is) foot pad sole that is glued I believe also comes apart and when you are a little sweaty or maybe your feet are just a little wet after drying off from the shower the sandals give off a stinky rubber foot smell...gawd awful. I would never buy this brand again. Unable to return due to living out of the country and too expensive...I am going Vionic...or Cobb Hill...comfortable and good quality.

Happy to have a support sandal that looks like a regular flip flop!
I am in my mid 50s. I could wear any shoe without pain. Now that I am older, I have to make sure my sandals and shoes have support since I am flat footed. I have so many different type of sandals and flip flops, all stating they support your feet. At the end of the day, my feet ache and my hips hurt! When I read about Olukai and the reviews, I thought I would try them. So far I LOVE them. They do not look like orthotic flip flops. They have a strong arch support and I don't hurt after wearing them. The only other sandals I love are Birkenstocks, but they can't be worn near water. I know these are expensive, but they are worth it!!!

The best flips I've ever owned
These are by far the best flip flops I've ever owned!! My favorite elements of these flips are:1) The arch support - I can walk in these literally all day and my feet don't fatigue2) The cushioned foot bed - I shopped for Clarks in these and these were more comfortable that the ortho footbeds3) The fabric thong - You barely feel the soft fabric between your toes4) The non-skid footbed material - I don't slide around in these shoes because of the material they use, which makes for much more steady walking compared to most flips5) The sole - The rubbery sole has a lot of tractionI loved these so much I bought a second pair! They've got great color choices too!!

Order full size larger, awesome flip flops!
Beautiful, comfortable and well made. I normally wear a size 9, had to order a 10 and they fit perfect. I hope they last a long time, I kept tearing the toe strap out of all my flip flops, so hoping at $75 they last a long time. Photo shows my size 9 feet in the size 10 sandal, perfect fit.

OluKai Kulapa Kai vs Ohana
I bought these after owning a pair of OluKai Ohana flipflops for 5 plus years. The Kulapa Kai's have a similar comfortable foot bed, however the entire footprint of the shoe is smaller compared to the Ohana and the straps are also narrower. Personally, I find the Ohana's to be much more comfortable and supportive. Even the arch support in the Kulapa Kai's seem weaker. I can and have worn the Ohana's for full days at Disney World (10ish miles of walking a day) and had no issues. I don't think I could do the same with he Kulapa Kai's. I DO think the Kulapa Kai's are still a very good supportive shoe especially in comparison to many other brands out there. They just weren't quite supportive enough for the amount of walking I had in mind.
