Had to send the first pair back. Ran full size small. Comfort might get better with breaking in.

The Olukai Nui is a high quality sandal...looks and feels great however, definitely runs a bit small.

Best fitting flip flops I've ever bought . Immediately felt like that pair of comfortable old shoes that's in your closet .

Leather is smooth. Strap is comfortable and wide. Less cushion than I was hoping but great overall.

Nice sandals, but absurdly undersized. Had to send them back for a full size larger than I've ever worn before. Size 11 really isn't quite size 10. Do not order the right size, order at least a full size larger. Otherwise, I'm happy with them.

These sandals stain your feet from the dye they used to tan the leather.

I ordered them along with a couple other pairs to try out. They had the least amount of support for my feet and tended to slide to the outside of my feet. Ordinary medicre sandals. I ultimately went with the Oofos sandals, which had stronger arch support, side-to-side stabilization, and cushioning.

In size 15, it feels like a 14. Beautiful sandal. Will exchange for another sandal from OluKai.

I should have read the other reviews. Ordered these in my correct size and was surprised to find that the were tight and also too short. Order at least one full size larger then you actually are. This said, I may even need to go two sizes larger depending on how the exchanged ones fit.

FIt was a little small. Comfort was lacking because the footbed is slick so your feet slide around. Very disappointed in Olukai. My last 3 pairs of different styles have all been a problem. For their prices they should be perfect. Time to move on. ??

length was good, but too loose.
the flip flop top strap was not tight against the top of my foot. I would have had to curl my toes down to keep it secured while walking.

These just don't compare well to the Ohana sandals. While they have a slightly different intended purpose, they are significantly smaller and my heel hangs over the back end, while the Ohana are a perfect fit. Both are Men's size 9.

I love the look of this sandal but the sizing is off. I normally wear a 10.5 and the 11 in this sandal was too short, especially in the back. My heel was almost off of the back of the sole. I tries a 12 and it was too big. Almost a full inch longer than the size 11. Thank you Zappos for your extraordinary customer service and returning these items.

Straps are loose fitting and little to no cushioning. ( And I'm wearing in the house w rugs and tile.) Hard rubber on bottom.
Nice looking. Wanted to keep but just too uncomfortable.

The foot bed seems a bit smaller than the other OluKai's that I have tried on. The sole on the Nui is very narrow which makes it feel a bit unstable. I will be returning and purchasing the Ohanas.

these are not great; they run ridiculously small, the toe strap is wide and painful and the shoe is not the shape of a normal foot so it does not feel or look nice.

The prong between my toes cut me up and made my foot bleed and hasn't gotten better. I have never had that problem before with other brands that are half the price.

Lifelong OluKai Kumu buyer. Unfortunately they discontinued the model, and sizing for many of the other models have turned incredibly small. Tried a full size and a half larger on the Nui and it crunched my instep. Had to return twice which never happens. Sandal was identified as a D and E width. Not even close. Love OluKai but they need to bring back the old Kumu mold. Clearly they have some internal design issues to work out. Won't be buying again until they do.

This is a great looking and great feeling flip flop. However, the build quality is poor. First pair I had the stitching started unraveling after only two months of winter weather, so not a whole lot of use. The second pair came with a hole in the leather footbed exposing the rubber underneath and the stitching also already showing signs of not being properly secured. Zappos took care of me with both pairs but this has definitely soured me on trying this or other styles of Olukai flip flops. I read all of the comments about sizing so I initially ordered my regular size and a size up as well. My regular size was a perfect fit and the size up still had okay length but the straps were super loose on the top of my foot.

Olukai as a brand is a major ripoff. If you have loads of money that you's like to throw away, buy them. I tried on the Ohana, Nui, and the Mea Ola and there really is no difference between the 3 as far as comfort goes. The straps are loose and do not fight snugly. I wasted my time exchanging and eventually returning these sandals. Do not bother buying these.
