Customer Reviews OluKai Pi'o Lua

Beautiful well-made sandals. They look super-slick and have buttery-soft-but-stellar footbed support. But regrettably, I have to return them. I ordered my regular size (9M) and they ran too narrow and small for me. The narrowness issue is most acute at the point where the straps meet the footbed on either side. They seem very close together. I'm going to look for thong sandals where the straps don't anchor IN the footbed, but along the sides of it.

perfect oluakai are always fit perfect. Not going to lie I'm thinking this is around my 20th pair over many years. they are the best flip flop in the world. You can walk 10 miles in them. I showed them to my husband he said don't you have another pair like that. yes; but they were like 10 years old and I gave them away!!!

Very comfortable flip flop with wedge which dresses it up a little. Walked to restaurant 1/2 mile away right after I got them with no discomfort!

I tend to prefer sandals like these for their wedge platforms. I do have sandals with thinner soles that are very comfortable, but a wedge/platform sandal usually wins. I am 5'6" so I appreciate the height gain that comes along with a bit of a platform sole as well. The Pi'o Lua is a very good option if you have a medium width foot or even slightly narrow foot. I find the straps are secured in a place that makes the sandal feel almost too narrow - in fact I was worried the strap would bite into my arch and outside of my foot over the course of a day, especially since the straps are thinner. I found that my feet were perfectly comfy after walking at Disneyland for about 4-6 hours. Note that I used these NEW with no break in period other than trying them on at home the day before leaving. I'm not usually so carefree, but have fairly good judgement when it comes to picking sandals. The overall look is of a more refined flip flop that is also comfortable, and can go from cut off denim shorts and a t-shirt at the beach to being paired with a sleek maxi dress at an oceanfront restaurant. If there is one thing that is possibly a minus it's that some may find it a little on the heavy side. If you are accustomed more to Havaianas or other, lighter flip flops with thin soles, you may find these too heavy. I have worn Cobian, Reef and other brands with thicker soles (wedge or platform styles), so these do not seem much heavier than those. The style of these also seem to be somewhat slimming to the foot. For sizing info I wear 8.5 to 9.0 depending on type of shoe, style or brand and wear a 9.0 in OluKai and Reef. I typically wear 8.5 in Adidas and Hoku One One and Toms.

unbelievably comfortable and a little heel for personality... the perfect flip flop!

I really liked these when I first got them. They are comfortable and looks nice. However the straps leave black marks on my feet after wearing them. I’ve had these for over a year and besides the colony bleeding issue they’ve held up

Because I have owned several Pair of OluKai flip flops, I was disappointed that this style does not have arch support. Side straps on these are not fastened on the bottom of the soul, but on top where the arch is, and this is bothersome. But, these flip flops are squishy, cute and comfy enough.

loved the shoes but were too small, I am an 8 1/2 and these only came in whole sizes, would go to 9 but do not think I would like the shoe. The bed is not very comfortable, thought it would be butter feeling but a little hard

These are very simple shoes that will be great for summer skirts, dresses and shorts. I like a sandal with a little bit of a heal because I think it helps with making an overall more slimming look versus flats. Plus flats have no arch support. These sandals offer arch support

These run small. I’m normally 9-9 1/2 10 fit me great

Fit well! as expected from OluKai

Very comfortable, can't wait to wear them on the beach!

Love them and the sole is think but very comfortable

Oh my goodness, they're absolutely comfortable! They are heavy in my hands, but I don't feel the weight when I ware them and walk. They're well-made, stylish and well spent money.

True to the picture. Height is perfect. My only negative is they might be a tad heavy. Not to interrupt any fun or walking. They are comfy. Very nice.

They fit great

True to size, comfortable and the heel makes this shoe good for weekend occasions. Only the price is an issue, so look for a sale.

Feel wonderful!!!

A comfy and fun flip flop!! I have them in 3 colors! The silver is my favorite because it’s just the right amount of fun!

I’m in FL and I live in flip flops! Olukais are a favorite. These are comfortable for all day wear and give me a little extra height without fear of tripping. I ordered a new pair to have when my current ones wear out!! Unfortunately, they did not return to the olukai site. I have them in silver & white too!

Extremely comfortable and a nicely upgraded look to a flip flop. Looks great w dresses too!

Super comfortable

Love these. Super comfortable. Just didn’t like the silver color for me.

Bert comfortable and the heel makes it possible to dress them up in a pinch!

I usually wear a 7.5 and ordered a 7. I’ve ordered 8s in the past and they are slightly too big. The 7s fit very well…almost too perfect. A 7.5 would have given me the right fit with just a little wiggle room that I prefer (and hence why I removed a star). I love the style of this shoe - it gives me a little height without loss of comfort. Love them!
