Customer Reviews OluKai Upena

I bought these to have summer shoes that didn’t kill my feet - mission accomplished. They are extremely comfortable to walk in and are as cute as this type of shoe is going to get. Depending on my stride, the toe loop sometimes aggravates my big toe, but the design of the shoe makes it easy to slip off the loop of needed. You can comfortably walk for exercise and miles in these. They also stand up well to the beach, saltwater and all. I definitely recommend this.

Shoes are a perfect regular size 8. I didn’t even need to adjust the strap. My feet will start cramping if the support isn’t good and I haven’t had any issues with these sandals.

Really like these sandals. Size was pretty close. I normally wear anywhere from a 7, 7.5, to an 8, and the 8 was best for me in this style as my feet are a little wider than average but not overly so. I love OluKai and love this style, but I wish they would come out with a lighter neutral color. I will wait to purchase again when they come out with that higher color instead of all the dark browns and black.

I love how they look on my feet. I don't particular like sandals with the toe separations due to the discomfort it creates. These sandals are different. WOW its like walking totally free from any discomfort. This was a great buy that will last. That's why I always come back to Zappos. I know what to expect.

I love this brand but I should have ordered an 8. I have had one pair of these shoes in another color for a few years and I am always afraid they will no longer make the shoe. I can't find the color I have so wanted another pair.

I love these sandals - I have another pair in a metallic color and have worn them everywhere. I cannot find them in that color anymore so decided to order these. They only had a 7 and I need a 7.5 or 8. I don't think they come in 1/2 sizes. But they are wonderful shoes and I would have kept them had the fit been correct.

I love OluKai sandals; they are well made and last for years. I have previously purchased this style in the dark brown and they quickly became my go to sandals. Decided having the black pair would be a wise idea as well. As always, Zappos free shipping and returns is always a breeze. Leather straps may start off tight across the width of your foot, but will loosen up a bit over time. But won’t loosen too much to make them feel too big. More like a comfy pair of cotton sweatpants that stretch as you sit and relax.

Not a surprise as they're OluKai but these are absolutely wonderful. Well made, comfortable, and able to handle frequent use. I've become a bit of a spokesperson for these shoes and everyone I know is wearing them now. They look great, hold up well, and are perfect for daily casual wear; I've even worn them on some gentle hikes. These are a win. I love the metallic accents too, it really elevates them.

These are gorgeous sandals - I love ones that are strappy and cute, can be dressed up or down, and comfy enough to walk for miles. These seem like they will be great! I usually wear a 7 but sometimes 6.5, these are a 7 and they fit but just barely, I wouldn't want them any smaller. So might be worth bearing in mind if you're between sizes.

Love the shoe, super cute and well made

These fit true to size and width. I usually wear a 6 1/2 to 7 and the size 7 fit well. Great quality as always with OluKai.

I love these shoes. They are cute and fit perfectly, but the strap between the toes felt a little rough. Maybe it softens with wear, but I was not willing to risk having them always be uncomfortable between the toes. The length and width are a true to size fit and the arch support is great.

OluKai is the only brand of flip flops and casual sandals I can wear! These sandals are great for around the house, better than flip flops for going up & down stairs. I've had problems with my feet, so these are a savior.

I love this sandal!! You can dress it up or down. I struggle with finding cute supportive shoes, these are awesome!! Felt great right away. My foot is not really a narrow, but always seems to be most sandals are wide, these were perfect!!

I normally wear a size 7 1/2. It’s always a dilemma when shoes don’t come in 1/2 sizes. I’ve found with OluKai sizing up to the 8 works best. These shoes are a great low profile, but still supportive option.

I bought a pair of brown leather sandals exactly like this back in 1987 and accidentally left them on the beach in Kauai. I went back for them 15 minutes later and they were gone. They were my favorite. I was happy to see these sandals reappear in the market place. I bought a size 7 medium. They fit snuggly which I am happy about since I have slightly narrow feet. Straps on leather sandals like these always stretch out so those of you worring they are too snug, don't worry. They are very comfortable to wear all day long. I'm contemplating buying another pair.

Comfy shoes and I love the style. The first time trying them on I was unsure if the toe hole would rub my bunion but after a couple of hours the leather straps adjusted to my foot. Buckle once and then slip on and off. The buckle is in an odd place, only complaint I have though.

I love olukai and really wanted this strappy sandal. Unfortunately the straps we a bit tight on my foot. Had to sent them back. Love Zappos! I’ll try another style.

This shoe felt a little narrow, but it did not hurt and from my experience with Olu Kai it will give.. I also have the Olu Kai Eheu and I love the arch support. This is my go to brand.

First of all I love this brand. I’ve worn Olukai for several years. I’ve always worn Ohana flip flops in a size 8. (My usual size in shoes is 8-1/2.) However this strappy sandal was too small. I returned them and reordered in a 9. Perfect! Love these sandals. Dont know why the Ohanas must run larger.

I love the style of these shoes. They are comfortable for the most part. So far I have just tried the, out around the house. There are two places (around toe and on side where bone is) that rubs a little after a while. I love the look so much that I’m keeping them despite the slight discomfort.

Really good fit and comfy. I'm normally an 8.5 in pretty much everything, but an 8 in Chacos, so I went with an 8 in these and they are a perfect fit. I like that they are sleek looking but still have a good rubber sole for grip. My only issue is that my foot does slide around a bit on foot bed, but I generally have this happen in all sandals that aren't suede or leather on the foot bed. I also had to make an extra hole to make the strap perfect, but that's easy enough.

Perfect! Perfect in every way.

I typically wear a 7.5 but sized down to a 7. This is my second pair of the Upena’s. They are definitely my go to shoe! Very comfortable and cute with jeans, shorts, or casual sun dresses!

I love these sandals! It was hard to decide on color. So I went with my first thought. The dark brown. They are not cheap but nice leather. Just exactly what I wanted. Comfortable
