These sandals are super cute flip flops, very well made, moderate arch support - not quite your regular Birkenstock’s footbed but still very comfortable. So why did I return them?? The toe post is too large and so uncomfortable it would make wearing them any length of time impossible!! If that could be fixed these would be perfect! Anthracite color was very nice. I was sorry to have to return. Too painful to wear!!

I am a Birkie girl. Since I’m off to Hawaii and looking for beach shoes, the name Honolulu called to me. I love the color, the fit is great. They are quite stiff so they are going to be house shoes until I can break them in.

I ordered four pairs of these for myself and my kids who are spread out all over. They are the only flip flop I will ever purchase again , and I live in Florida so that’s all I wear. I had a small issue with sizing with one pair, but the replacement process and customer service has been beyond belief. Thank you Zappos !

These flip-flops are by far the cutest and most comfy I've ever tried. I normally don't wear flip-flops, except to get a pedicure, because walk a lot need some arch support. I was super excited when I tried these on because I love Birks and have distressed many over the years by wearing them in the rain or at the beach. so these seemed perfect! They are lovely--super lightweight (like a piece of styrofoam) but they give great arch support (like a regular BIrk but they're less stiff). And the color (I got the lilac color) is adorable. So summery. Unfortunately, I think I'm sending them back. I agree with the reviewer that the toe post is slightly too large. That wasn't the deal-breaker because I think over time you'd get used to it. The issue for me is that my foot swims in shoes that don't have adjustable straps or buckles to tighten. The straps on the flip-flops hover over my foot and don't touch my foot at all--I can slide my hand between my foot and the strap. They're just a hair too loose. They're so cute and light that I'm tempted to keep them but I think I need to return for waterproof Arizonas instead, since they have buckles. I think the Honolulus would fit most people and work well--unless you have very thin feet likeme.

Be specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?

The toe post in these is huge and excruciatingly painful. Also the footbed does not provide the arch support that I expect from a Birkenstock. My strong impression is that these are a real design fail for Birkenstock, and I cannot return them fast enough.

As usual Birkenstock is comfortable on my feet. These are cute and nice for around the pool. I find them very lightweight as well.

I wish I'd read the review about the crazy uncomfortable toe post. That is exactly what my problem with these flop flops is. In every other way they were totally comfortable but that toe post, I think it was designed to be a torture device. I have tons of Birkenstock shoes and sandals but these had to go back. Come on Birkenstock; fix this issue and I'll buy a pair in every color.

They fit perfectly, super light weight and waterproof. I assumed they would be great like my other Birkenstocks so I just wore them. But after about 45 minutes blisters between my toes formed. My daughter who wears the same size tried them for a short walk and came back with sores on top of her feet where the strap rubbed. Lesson learned-stay inside and wear for longer just to make sure!

This is my 2nd pair of Honolulu’s. I purchased the coral color, they are replacing my black pair which are about a year old. These shoes wear well and are comfortable. My black ones are definitely worn, they became flatter and wider with time. I use these shoes as slippers and on errands, so I’m wearing them every day. About the fit- I usually wear a 7 but can size between a 6.5 and 7.5 depending on the shoe, these I bought in a 37 - which I think is US 6 to 6.5 and they’re perfect. To Birkenstock - please bring back the red ones. Thx.

Size down! I wear a 39 is Birk Arizona, but the 39 in Honolulu was too big so I exchanged for a 38 & it’s perfect! The pics are a 39 camo Arizona & 38 black Honolulu. I love how these feel. Excellent support!

These fit true to size and were comfortable except the piece that is in between the toes is too thick for me. I have the same comfort issue with other Birk “thongs”.

Well I am bummed. I love Birkenstocks! I own 5 different pair. This is the first pair I have ever had to send back due to comfort. The thong portion was painful between my toes - and it didnt feel like they would easily soften up and end up comfy.... So I will go back to the OG style I love.

The footbed on the Honolulu flipflop has the same support that the regular Birkenstock footbed has, but it is much more flexible. I can't wear regular Birkenstock sandals because my feet need flexibility in a shoe. I love these, and wear them all day. I appreciate the perfect support they give my feet, which are not tired even after a long day. I only wish that Birkenstock made a shoe or clog with the EVA footbed so that I could wear this sort of shoe all winter too!

These were very comfortable. If you like a Birkenstock footbed but you want the look and upper fit of flip flops, you will probably be happy with these. I ended up sending them back, but only because I purchased them as a backup in case none of the slides I ordered fit my foot which is wide at the ball.

I really like these sandals I wanted something I could wear in the shower or wet grass while camping and not worry about ruining them by getting them wet.

Love these sandals! I have 2 other pair of Birkenstock leather sandals that I alternate between all summer but was looking for an alternative to flip flops that were water friendly and these are it. They have the benefits of traditional Birkenstocks without the worry of ruining them if they get wet. I highly recommend.

I have worn Birkenstock sandals, Mayari I believe is the name of them, for years! Been thru about 8 pairs of them in the brown and the black colors. But for some reason this spring they just weren't feeling right on my feet. I found the Honolulu flip flops and tried them on and it was instant love! So much so that I now have 2 pairs with another on the horizon! I LOVE them! My feet have melted into them just like regular Birkies only for some reason these are much much more comfortable! I hope they never stop making these as I will own many pairs of them now and in the future! I am a very satisfied customer! Thank you for carrying them!!
