OLUKAI Hokua Men's Beach Sandals, Quick-Dry Flip-Flop Slides, Water Resistant & Wet Grip Rubber Soles, Compression Molded Footbed & Soft Comfort Fit

This is my third pair of Olukai thong sandals. The first two are leather and have given me years of service with no sign of wearing out. This pair is my first of manmade materials. Right out of the box, they have the fit and feel I've come to love from Olukai. I was diagnosed with "flat feet" and I need a lot of support. Next to my Brookes Beasts these are the best walking shoes I have. They cost a bit more but are the best possible value over time.

These are capable, comfortable, stylish flops, a great design built with quality materials. I wear 9W in New Balance and Merrell: size 9 Hokua is spot on. I got two pairs, tan and brown, and the quality and fit is consistent, with strong attention to detail in stitching and assembly tolearances and handsome color and texture. Hokua can go anywhere you'd want to go in flops and then some and they are easy to keep clean. I chose these over the Ohana style without hesitation after trying both, in part because the Hokua seemed a little more roomy and in part because I prefer the look.

Great product! Comfortable and nice!

Love these. Why did it take so long for me to discover such comfortable and well fitting summer footwear? I liked these so much I ordered a second pair that are all leather and a bit more formal(?)

This is my 5th pair of Olukai Flip Flops and, as has been my experience in the past, these are comfortable, supportive and fit my feet well. I have always found Olukai's to be well made & long-lasting and very comfortable, even when worn for long periods; making them worth the higher price as compared to other brands. I would suggest that you have at least 2 pair and alternate wearing them though. They need some down-time to air out between wearings or they can eventually develop some foot odor! As for Sizing: I have a rather wide foot with the further complication of a bone spur/bunion at the base of my L great toe. I generally have to have an EE width in regular shoes. Olukai's seem to fit just right, although I do order up one full size (13 instead of my normal 12). This will usually result in a half-inch or so of extra sole behind my heel, but it leaves me with the width I need without being too large overall. If you have a normal width foot with no 'extracurricular' issues, you'll likely be content with your normal size. I would recommend going up, rather than down in size if you wear a half-size (Ex: For 10 1/2, order 11). Also, bear in mind that Olukai has recently introduced some newer model flops that seem to be built on a different 'last'. The Tauhine is one of these and is more narrow overall, with a more pointed toe box that is also narrower. With the Taurine, even the larger size 13 was much to tight for me.

Lets start with the most important thing about these sandals, the cost. If you are like me you wear sandals almost year around and these looked like they'd be pretty awesome. (I usually only wear one brand and style, that's the rainbow, hemp, double bed sandals) about 40.00, I have a review up over there if you want an alternate offer. These were very expensive to me for sandals, this cost would be expensive to me for shoes, but I figured I'll try anything once.The bed of this shoe is made from the same material as a wetsuit, it's soft and comfortable and has fantastic arch support. I've read people say that they've had issues with the smell getting bad from the material. I do not have foot odor so I can not report on this, but it seems like it'd be easily washable. The material did make the bottoms of my feet sweat a little at the arch, maybe because I'm used to standard sandals with no support though. The strap was just a little uncomfortable at first, usually takes me about a week to wear in a pair of sandals to be comfortable but these became comfortable after about a days worth of wear. It's very sturdy and seems like it'd last a while. It has a colorful double stitching that gives it a nicer style as well. The toe thong is folded outward and made of a soft material that didn't cause any "rub" on my toes while I wore them, very comfortable. The sole of these sandals is made from a sturdy rubber that sticks well, and has grooves like a shoe would. I walked in some water (tentatively, I was a little uptight about walking in a puddle after spending this much on sandals) and had no problem with "sticking". Some sandals almost glide over a puddle or water when you step in it causing you to do an impromptu split, these did not. The con I had with this and why I ultimately returned them was the weight. While it is obvious that these will have some weight to them, being used to using a lightweight, almost not there sandal, these were like wearing boots. The height of the sole is about that of a low pro shoe. At first this caused me to catch the toe a few times on steps, I had to consciously pick my feet up a little higher so as not to trip. Standing for long periods of time, or walking for a while if you are not used to sandals will be a breeze in these. If you ARE used to sandals and are comfortable in them these will probably feel pretty heavy to you. I like sandals for the minimal material, comfort, and light weight. I could not get past that aspect with these and ultimately returned them for a second pair of my favorite sandals. All that to say this, if you only wear shoes, or are a dressier casual person, get a pair they are VERY well made and look great. If you are a cheaper, beach going, always wearing sandal guy/gal, you probably want to skip this and go with a lighter more minimal sandal. If I helped please let me know, thanks and enjoy.

Nice, look good, fit well

I love this model of Olukai. I bought my first pair a few years ago and I wore them almost daily year round for over 3 years. They are still very wearable, but they're starting to look a little worse for wear so I ordered a second pair. They took a little breaking in but after that, they're the most comfortable and durable flip flops I've ever bought. They dry quick and sand doesn't get stuck in them. I bought a different model and I just never really liked the fit so I ordered a brand new pair of this same model. I'm debating on buying a few more pair just in case they discontinue this model.

履き心地抜群です お試しあれ

I would definitely recommend these sandals!

I already have a model from the same company, and they are comfortable but were leather. Much prefer this pair, completely recommend.

The best sandal out there!! I was introduced to the Olukai brand 13 years ago because of reoccurring shin splints. I needed something with better arch support. Olukai to the rescue! I was a bit hesitant at first because I've never spent more than $20-$30 CAD on sandals previously. But after purchasing my first pair, I haven't stopped! I tell all my friends (and anyone who would listen) how great they feel on. They are built well and strong. I wear my sandals all day and now I never get shin splints.

C était ecrit grandeur 10, mais ils ont envoyé des 13. Belle qualité parcontre. Dommage on a retourné le produit
