OLUKAI Ohana Men's Sandals, Water Resistant Flip Flops with Arch Support, Lightweight Comfort for Beach & Travel, Enhanced Traction for Wet Surfaces

FLIP FLOP COMPARISONS: OLUKAI OHANA THE BEST OVERAL WITH THE "CROCS MODI" - THE MOST BANG FOR THE $. In my efforts to find a GREAT Flip Flop (and attempt improvement on my Crocs MODI's I did a LOT of reading, Flip Flop reviews on the internet. The first decent Flip Flops I bought was a pair of Crocs MODI Flips, that were on sale at my local sporting goods store..... I LOVED THEM !! My only concern was that they might not be as sturdy (or long-lasting) as a Super Expensive, well made pair. So, of course, I had to do more research and try to find THE BEST Flip Flops made. Finally (after much review reading) I settled on three. I have now worn all three for about 3 weeks. I cannot attest to durability after only 3 weeks but I can give my impression of what their durability might be. The features I was looking for were: Contoured Foot Bed, Arch Support, Comfort, Cushiness & Sole flex, Quality of Workmanship, Staying on During Activities, Running true to Size and Impression of Durability. FYI - I normally wear a size 10.5 med. shoe. The three Flip Flops I tried were: Croc's MODI $ - Size 11 M OluKai Ohana $$$ - Size 11 M They were a bit loose so I exchanged them for a size 10 M. (However, that was a mistake when the Foot Bed proved to be too small). Vionic Harbor $$ - Size 11 M (with the Velcro adjustment strap.) Let me say that on a scale of 0 to 5; with 0 being unacceptable and 5 exceeding my expectations, all three of the Flips I bought scored very high. CONTOURED FOOTBED: Croc's MODI - 5, very nice contoured foot bed and heel. OluKai Ohana - 5, very nice contoured foot bed and heel. Vionic Harbor - 5, very nice contoured foot bed and heel. ARCH SUPORT: Croc's MODI - 5, very good arch support, positioned where it should be. not too high or too low. OluKai Ohana- 5, very good arch support, positioned where it should be. not too high or too low. Vionic Harbor- 5, very good arch support, positioned where it should be. not too high or too low. COMFORT: Croc's MODI - 5, very comfortable. The toe post is fairly comfortable. OluKai Ohana - 5, very comfortable. The toe post is a DREAM. Vionic Harbor - 3+, pretty comfortable, may take a little getting used to, or breaking in. The toe post was the most irritating of the three - Hoping that will get better with time.. The Velcro adjustment strap did not cause any discomfort. NOTE: After wearing them for 3 weeks, I simply couldn't take the irritation of the R. toe post. Had to send them back. Too bad, they appeared to be exactly what I wanted. CUSHINESS & SOLE FLEX: Croc's MODI - 4+, pretty cushy, when walking. Sole is flexible, but not mushy. OluKai Ohana - 5+, Simply THE BEST, a wonderful cushy walk. (Not too soft, not too hard.) Slightly flexible Sole - Just the right amount of flex. Vionic Harbor - 3++, a little stiffer than the other two but QUITE acceptable. Sole is the stiffest of the three but still somewhat flexible. QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP: Croc's MODI - 5, a well made, well designed Flip Flop. OluKai Ohana - 5+, SUPERBLY designed and well made. Vionic Harbor - 5, Excellent design and workmanship. STAYING ON DURING ACTIVITIES: Croc's MODI - 5+, SIMPLY THE BEST! Stays securely on my feet during all activities. OluKai Ohana - 4, A bit loose, Staying securely in place? Takes some getting used to (I tried buying one size smaller - fit better but, then, the foot bed was too small). Vionic Harbor - 4, the Velcro adjustment strap helps it fit snugly. (no need for smaller size.) RUNS TRUE TO SIZE: Croc's MODI - 5, EXCELLENT !! Spot on! The size 11 M, fits my size 10.5 M foot perfectly. OluKai Ohana - 4, Fit PERFECTLY, except I found them to be a bit loose. (Tried correcting - by exchanging for a size smaller - Didn't work, foot bed was then too small). Vionic Harbor - 5, Excellent !! Again the Velcro adjustment makes up for any minor fit deviations. IMPRESSION OF DURABILITY: Croc's MODI - 4, the rather soft sole, looks as if it might wear out. But for the VERY REASONABLE PRICE - you could simply replace them OluKai Ohana - 5+, these Flips look like they would outlast me. After 3 weeks of wearing them constantly there is absolutely no signs of wear. Vionic Harbor - 5+, a very well-made Flip. Also looks like they will last many seasons.

My husband is on his third pair of Olukai sandals! He absolutely loves them especially living in Florida where we are in flip flops the majority of the year! They run true to size and are very comfortable. He can wear them all day and has no issues. They are pricier flip flops however they are amazing quality and last a long time. His have gotten wet and they dry without any issue!

Sandal are comfortable, quality is really good, there comfortable to walk in, I’ll need to get used to them, I’ve been using Reef’s, but these sandals have better arch support in them and material is softer than the others. Heel support is really good. I will have to update this post in a few months, after I have worn them for awhile…

I wear flip flops almost religiously. It's hard to find a good pair that will last long so I was hesitant to purchase these at the price, but they are great. I waited a year to write a review because like some of the pictures here, theres a tiny separation between the sole and the base of the shoe above the toes so i was worried it might eventually come apart. So far no additional separation has occured and they are still very comfortable. I wear them all day every day, literally, around the house or moving furniture or walking around all day. To clean them i just wear them in the bath and let them air dry, seems to work fine. They have excellent arch support and are extremely comfortable i'd give it an extra star if i could because it's hard to find quality products like this these days. Would recommend to anyone who wears flip flops. I'm 6'2, 250ish pounds, and the last pair of flops i bought i wore until they were literally paper thin. So far theres no noticable loss in density or arch support, but being a bigger guy it's bound to happen over time. They feel solid, which i like, and are probably a tiny bit heavier than most but it's a nice weight, definitely not like wearing heavy boots or shoes or anything like that. The size feels true to the size i ordered. My only complaint is while they're pretty water resistant, the strap stays wet for a long time because it's fabric underneath, but the fabric is super comfortable and rubber or another material would not be so i really cant even complain about that. Overall they're fantastic and if you're on the fence, don't be because these are worth it!

Oulkai are excellent sandals - comfortable, great arches, stylish, and sturdy. Great value for the price.

I have been wearing one of these around home every day for about 10 years. No blisters ever. I have one pair 10 years old, one that is 5 years old, and another 5 year old that just broke beyond repair that I just replaced. My shoe size is between 10 ½ and 11 so I get size 11. The current pair I bought is a size 11 but it is a little small. I will keep it with the hope that the arch at the end of my heel will elongate as my heel pushes down on it. The new sandal is the one on the bottom in the picture below. If you hold them together the new one is ¼" shorter. There are many miles on the upper one. The tongues tend to wear out after about 5 years and I have been able to mend two of them and put them on less stressful duty at second home or office but my last one just broke completely. The soles are indestructible and they grow more comfortable over time. Nevertheless, if you want a bigger fit and your feet come in close to size 11 in a US shoe, you might want to order a 12. As you can see, they are only offered in full sizes. A larger size might also solve the problem of wear on the tongue (portion of the sandal that fastens the upper part to the sole of the flip-flop. It's hard to say anymore what you will get next month with supply chains and fabrication relationships changing, because this is a well-established expensive brand it is all the more prone to enshittification. It is still a great shoe and does not flop and sticks like glue to the foot and ground and the material is good quality although leather is replaced with stretchy rubbery fabric that is strong but lighter and more flexible. I might try something else next time tho because of the fit if this does not eventually wrap itself around my foot as the others have, I just have to wait and see. I can wear a 10 ½ shoe in some brands, so I'd expect an 11 to be a little more ample for me.

I bought these for a trip to Puerto Rico last year and I am ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE with these flip-flops! I have never owned flip-flops that have functioning arch support....and they're very well made, tough to be more precise. I even wore them up north and had no issues hiking, granted the U.P. doesnt really have a lot of sharp rocks and steep cliffs but, they really stood up to a lot. They clean easy, just threw them in the washer with a few pairs of my jeans and BOOM, new again!

I’ve owned a lot of sandals over the years, but nothing compares to OluKai. The arch support is honestly something I’ve never experienced in a sandal before. They feel more like a supportive shoe than typical flip-flops. I received my first pair as a gift and was shocked when I found out they were around $80. At the time, that felt expensive for sandals, but after wearing them for nearly five years and seeing how well they held up, I completely get it now. They're, durable, comfortable, and worth every penny. I just bought my second pair and wouldn’t go back to anything else.

Fits as well as my regular shoe size. Comfortable (and I don't normally like flipflops). Price is rather steep but if you can afford it then go for it. Gotta work on the thong/flip flop tan now.

Excellent sandals! Love the fit! Very well made and comfortable.

Muy cómodas, a mi marido le encantan.

Great sandal, good size.
