This is my second pair of the exact flip flops. (Even same color.) My last pair lasted me four years, and I wore them until the thong part in the middle literally came up out of the shoe. I love these shoes. I am 25 and a professional, so when I am not wearing dress shoes, I am in these. These shoes offer someone who is too old to wear rainbows a great alternative. These run small so buy big! Buy a full size larger than you wear in tennis shoes.

All I can say is Wow to both Zappos and Olukai! This was both my first time doing business with Zappos and the first time I have spent this much on a pair of "flip flops." Zappos has unbelievable service from order to delivery. I received my Olukai and when I put them on there was no doubt they were worth the cost. As a matter of fact, I instantly ordered another pair in black so I can color coordinate as well as double the time I will enjoy wearing these before having to buy another pair. I will say that they do run about a half size small and after reading the reviews I purchased a 1/2 size larger (in my case) and they fit perfect. If you have any doubts at all, once you receive them you will definitely be thrilled. Enjoy!

I love the Kumu because it is so cushiony--more so than the Ohana leather, but the Ohana has a higher arch. Also, I noticed that the Kumu (in size 14) is about 1/2 size small. I think that when I order my next pair of Kumus, I'm going to order the next size up.

Most comfortable, stylish flip-flops I could find, especially considering I have size 14 feet. I've owned these for four years and they're just now starting to fray, so I'll be buying my next pair soon. I can't imagine switching to a different brand!

Unbelievable. Ordered then yesterday and got them today. I can say for a fact that they will not be returned. Out of a box they fit like a glove and after wearing them all day they keep getting more comfortable by the minute. The only thing that would make them better is if they were made in the USA.

Best arch support in a flip-flop you could ever buy. For anyone with foot issues...these are the ones. They slowly mold to the shape of your foot. It is like walking on a custom orthotic after awhile!

The first thing you\'ll notice when you put these shoes on is how much support they have compared to a normal sandal. In that sense they\'re amazing and probably the best sandal I\'ve ever owned. The second thing you\'ll notice? They\'re stiff, but that wears off in a few weeks once you break them in. \r\n\r\nEverything about this shoe seems well put together and I don\'t see myself buying any sandals but OluKai\'s from now on.

Olukai thongs are the best! They fit to size and mold to your feet. They last forever!

Was a little hesitant to pay the premium price for a flip flop, glad I did. They look great and fit even better. They support your foot well, have a good arch support which allows for all day comfort. If you can wear flip flops on a daily basis, get these, you won\'t be disappointed.

These are the second set of OluKai sandals I've had. The first lasted me over two years and about 15 countries wearing them almost every day for that time. These Kumu's are a bit narrower than my previous pair with a different thong portion, but are great none the less. I'll be buying more OluKai footwear in the future.

These are by far the best thong I have ever owned and I have owned more thongs than I can count. Oh, and Zappos is the best of the best.

These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever owned. I bought a pair three years ago and wore them out. They're hard to find in stores, but run true to size if you decide to buy them online. Well worth the price.

Purchased this sandal based upon customer reviews and previous business with Zappos. Once again the reviews were right on. Since I have a high arch I wanted sandals that would provide for this and the OluKai Kumu does exactly that. I also ordered a half size larger (11) than my normal shoe size (10.5) and that was the right move. To my surprise, Zappos added expedited shipping at no extra charge. Now this is the way to run a company! Thanks Zappos!

Easily the best flip-flops I've ever owned! Comfortable right out of the box, the leather is supple and smooth. No blisters or hotspots, and I've been wearing them almost non-stop for 3 days. A great balance between weight, cushion, and support. Arch support is "good" (but not as good as a Birkenstock). Practically no "flip-flopping" noise. I wear an 11/44 in Birk, 11 in Teva, 12 in Chacos; and these OluKai 12's fit perfectly. Wearing them to the office with slacks right now, and they don't feel out of place. I felt strange spending this much, but they are worth every penny, as they are not your average flip-flop. I tried the Opihis, but I found these Kumus far better for just a little more.

Olukai sandals are BY FAR worth the money! They are a wonderful sandal with great support!!Reef is a great sandal but these are by far a superior sandal. I wear Olukai sandals all the time, weather permitting. I turned my family on to them in Hawaii and now that is all they wear. A big thumbs up!

Overall I am very happy with my Olukais. I think that the fit is true. I wear a 10 in most shoes and I purchased a 9 in these. I wear my sandals small so that they are the same length as my foot and I think these fit perfect. They are stiff at first and will take some breaking in. I had some blisters after the first use but by the time I had worn them 3 or 4 times, they were already feeling very comfortable. I think they are the best pair of sandals that I have owned. I have had Reef\'s (leather and cloth strapped), Chaco\'s and various thongs. I think these are the most durable, stylish and comfortable (after break in period). I would recommend them to anyone.

2nd pair! First pair lasted a couple of years with constant wear anytime the temp was above 60 deg. They probably would have lasted longer, but they were one of my black labs favorite things to carry around. I love these sandals - very, very comfortable. They have a very nice arch in them for a sandal and the leather on the foot bed just feels great! I wear a size 11 shoe, and I got these in a size 12 and they fit perfect, so you might consider going up a size.

Best Flops - These are great flops. Look good, feel good, and great arch support. I have tried many (Sperry, Reef, O’Neill) and these are my favorite. The sole is a hard rubber so you don't feel rocks and rough surfaces like some. The leather footbed feels great. They combine good looks with comfort and solid components that should make them last longer than some other brands.

I'm so sad I had to return. I was looking for a quality leather flip flop for my husbands flat feet. Olukai makes great quality shoes, but these were not comfortable on flat feet. Please make some styles of flip for flat feet!

Great fit, great support. I live in Florida, so I have several pair of flip flops - these are the nicer ones, what I jokingly refer to as my "Church Flip Flops." They're a step up from the last pair of Reef flops I had, in fit, support, and construction. Too nice for everyday/hard beach wear, though. For that, I go with Orthafit, which have even better support.

I agree with the people who posted other comments. These sandals look great, are comfortable, and are of good quality leather (strap and foot bed). I bought them in black and brown. Now, I have two stylish, dressy sandals to wear with most outfits when I want to be a bit dressier. However, they do run small, as the other commenters have said. I bought the size 11 (my normal size), and then had to exchange them for the 12. Do yourself a favor and buy one size larger, and avoid a size exchange. Then, look good in these sandals.
