Customer Reviews OluKai Ho'opio Leather

I’ve been wearing Olukai sandals for years and was excited when I wore my last pair out... NEW SHOES! However, I ordered my standard size 9 and was saddened when they showed up and were too small. I had to order a 10. The 10s have now arrived, and although they fit, the straps and definitely going to need to be broken in. They’re pretty tight on my narrow feet. I’ve never had to break my Olukais in. These sandals are cute, so I’m going to consider if I want to break them in. There are so many other comfy, out of the box options, for $75+. The photos show where, after only ten minutes, the sandals are already showing signs of squeezing the life from my feet.

I discovered these flip flops this past summer and loved them so much I'm buying another pair now even though winter is coming. I've never been a flip flop girl because I couldn't stand the thong between my toes, but the one on these flip flops is so narrow I don't even notice it. I also can't wear flat-flats because I need more support, and these are super comfortable. Definitely worth the premium price -- I think they'll last for a long time and are a serious step up from basic flip flops!

This is the best flip flop I’ve ever purchased. They are great right out of the box. No breaking in needed. I wear these all the time and the arch support is amazing. I have hardwood floors through the house and my legs and feet used to ache daily until I got these. I’ve even hiked in them. I can wait to get another pair. I’m normally an 8.5 and I bought a 9 and they fit perfectly.

I'm admittedly obsessed with Olukai. I do not see how I ever lived without a pair in the past or how I would ever survive without a pair in the future. This is my second pair. My first (in a different style) are still kicking after 3 year of daily abuse (boating, momming, etc.). These are my new dailies and I love them even more. There is something about Olukais where they just kind of become one with your foot and you kind of forget you're even wearing shoes. Obsessed, to put it mildly.

The black part of the strap is coming off already and i have only worn them maybe a total of 8 times!! Definitely not what you would expect when you pay this much for flip flops!!

I have 2 pairs of this shoe. I would like to own it in every color. It has a minimal design; however, the sheen of the leather gives it a dressy look. It is very comfortable with good support.

The fit is great, just right arch support and strap length. Purchased almost three years ago, but the leather strap did not last 1/2 as long as another pair of Olukai in a non leather style. The layers have separated, although I never got them wet.

I am addicted to Olukai Ho'opio and Ohana styles. The Ho'pio are a bit more narrow and look more feminine. I am on my 4th pair (3 leather & 1 fabric) and really want the silver fabric but might force myself to stop buying flip flops. Yes.....Olukai's are more expensive but this is truly one of those products whereby "you get what you pay for". I wore one pair of Ohana's for 3-4 years and was just about tired of them before I donated them & discovered this style. I'm a shoe hoarder but get yourself one pair and you will probably wear them over and over and over...... they are just that comfortable. For this style, I love the black patent, the red patent and the magenta fabric colors. Enjoy!

These had great support and a very nice quality and look. However I am always a size 10 and the size 10 were a half size or more too small... the back of my heel was hanging off the shoe! So I returned and will try size 11.

The look and fit are right on. They are my first pair of Olukai, excellent quality. Not as cushy as some other flip flops I have.

Fits like a dream! These are so soft and comfy! This is my 3rd pair. I’d call these moderate arch support - they’re not flat but not as much as Birkenstock.

Ordered my usual size 9, only to find my foot went right to the back edge, not to my liking. Reordered size 10 and am pleased with how my heel sits nicely in footbed.

I have had these shoes for two seasons and while they are the most comfortable flips I've owned, the leather on the straps of both shoes have separated and now look grungy. I've worn these pretty much daily during spring, summer and fall so they get a lot of wear, but I didn't expect the separation of the leather. The straps are still intact in the shoe, so they are wearable. I'm still buying another pair as they are the only flips I can wear with arch support, which my knees appreciate, plus they are super cute and go with so much!

My favorite flip flops—cute, comfortable, great arch support. I’m on my fourth pair.

Love these sandals. Second pair. I can’t remember when I bought the last ones - 10 years plus?? They last forever. Comfortable from the start. So glad they finally came in a dark navy.

I usually wear a size 7. I needed to order an 8.

I wear a size 9 and order a full size up with these sandals. I have a narrow foot and these fit perfectly with great arch support.

my new "go to" flip flop...Sanuk used to be my go to, not anymore!! living in AZ we wear them a lot...this particular style is so comfortable with great arch support to wear all day long...

These sandals look really nice on. They are casual enough to wear every day, but the metallic leather and sleek design help dress the shoe up. The sole is a bit slippery but not so slippery that they're unwearable. The arch is not as supportive as some of OluKai's other shoes like the Ohana, but there's still some support. I'm pretty happy with them and plan on taking them with me on a 4 month trip through SE Asia because they're so versatile. PS I'm really not a fan of metallic leathers but this one is very well done. It's not too flashy and looks classy.

These flip flops are awesome! I normally wear mainly a sz 9, sometimes an 8 1/2. My feet are med. width. I ordered these in a 8 and a 9. The nine was harder to keep on my feet. The 8 when I first put it on I thought these aren't going to work. The strap between my toes seemed a bit stiff. I was determined to make them work and thought I would wear them around the house a little to break them in. To my surprise in about 5-10 min. they were so comfortable!! My foot formed to the sole! Didn't even notice the band between my toes. Just enough arch support and great cushioning. I love, love these! The most comfortable flip flops I own. I've been through so many flip flops and haven't found a pair this comfortable. It is well worth the price. I have piles of flip flops I don't wear because of lack of comfort, which adds up to way more than the price of these. I right away ordered a second pair in another color. These are awesome! Zappos service is the best ever!!! Oh, forgot to mention, these look cute on!

These are my 7th pair of Olukai flip flops, 4th Ho'opio style. They are now my spring/summer go-to and I have a pair for around the house. Like most shoes with leather uppers they take a few days to 'break-in', but the 'thong' between the toes is never uncomfortable. Once I've worn them off & on at home for a couple of days the the straps are a perfect fit, like they were made just for me. I like the synthetic bottoms on these so I can wear them to the pool, etc without worrying about them getting ruined or water logged, while the metallic finishes on the leather (e.g. silver, champagne, etc) dress up the overall look. The synthetic bottom is also easy to wipe clean/dry.

I love these sandals! I ordered the Sahara/Dark Java and they are the perfect neutral sandal I was looking for. I have worn them non-stop since they arrived. They are very comfortable and fit true to size.

These are by far the best sandals I've ever had in terns of looks and comfort for my high arches. Usually, with a "flip-flop" type sandal, which I prefer, having arch support is not in the realm of possibility but these are different! The arch support is excellent. This is my 4th pair, my 3rd pair this season, as I also bought them in black and champagne. I can't say enough about the quality of this sandal and the company is the best, regularly contributing to various Hawaiian causes.

I had been a loyal buyer of the same style of flip-flops by another brand for years, and discovered that my style had been discontinued. After digging around for an alternative, OluKai continually came up as a favorite brand. I must say, I was very wary of spending this much on flip flops, but decided to take the plunge! These are the most comfortable flip flops I have ever owned! Arch support is great, they felt like they were molded to my feet from day one and the sole is comfortable, yet sturdy enough that I think they will last for quite some time - certainly longer than my previous favorite brand. The leather strap was a touch snug for the first few days, but almost instantly broke in - with no blisters! Cannot recommend these enough!

This is my third pair of Olukai Sandals. I ordered my usual size 61/2 and they were too short, I sent them back and got a 7 which was perfect. This was unusual for this brand as my other two pairs are a 6. They are comfortable, attractive and give good arch support. I purchased a blue-green color which will be fun to have in my shoe wardrobe this summer.
