Upena Women's Strappy Beach Sandal, Lightweight & Durable Design, Water Resistant Slides for All-Day Comfort & Style

My new favorite sandals. I have narrow feet so it can be hard to find sandals that fit. These fit great. They are very comfortable and lightweight. I can wear them walking all day and my feet not hurt. The longer strap across the top does hit in a little bit of a weird spot but I get used to it after a few minutes and don’t notice anymore. They’re light weight feel well made and have plenty of support. I love that they can get wet and will still grip. I’ll have to keep an eye out for when they go back on sale so I can order another color.

These sandals are so good—perfect right out of the box. I’ve had 2 other pairs of OluKai sandals, so I expected these to be quick favorites and they are. They are exceptionally comfortable, with great arch support, and my feet feel good and do not hurt after walking in them. The leather is comfortable as well and does not rub my feet. I prefer the type of soles these have because they are soft on my feet (for reference, I have Birkenstocks that are soft and comfortable, but I can’t wear them for serious walking because the suede footbed tears my feet up). I wanted a pair of neutral sandals that will work with various pants, shorts, or dresses and these work. They are casual, easy to slip on and off, and easy to walk in. They’ll be going with me on a trip later this summer, but I’ll also wear them frequently over the summer at home too. I’m almost always a solid size 8 and am in these as well. These are really good shoes, and I highly recommend them.

Fit: I normally wear size 7 in sandals, and the 7 fit perfectly. My feet are average to slightly skinny: 3.5" wide (measured by tracing foot on paper and measuring between 2 widest spots), 2" wide at the heel. REI near me was carrying this style, so worth checking if you want to try on in person. I really love this sandal for these reasons: - This has excellent arch support and heel cup for a sandal of this style. The bottom is also more non-skid than most sandals, which are often terrible. -I absolutely love this criss-cross strappy look and fit for sandals. I had a favorite cheap Payless pair that I wore for years, and then searched for years for a replacement, which has been impossible to find till now. It goes with anything, particularly any summer dresses that have black, when you want to wear something that passes with a dress, but be comfortable walking in. My cheap Payless pair had slightly thinner straps, with contrasting white stitching against the black, so they were slightly cuter, but these are still cute, comfy, and versatile. - The cross strap design on the big toe doesn't hurt the toe, like sandals with toe posts can. I can't wear any sandals with a toe-post, but I can wear these. -This pair was feeling slightly tight on my big toe, after wearing a bit when my feet swelled, but a few seconds stretching the leather with my fingers fixed that. Being good quality leather, they conform to your feet nicely. Cons (kind of): - The footbed of the shoe is a solid plastic/ slightly rubbery material, which doesn't breath well, but the upside of that is it is very durable and can be cleaned easily. But since the upper is leather, that limits the versatility of a plastic footbed, where you can get it wet without worry. I don't live where it is very hot, so it is bearable. It has a nice finish, so it feels better against the skin than a lot of plastic/rubbery sandals. (Update: I have since found that sometimes you are in an unexpected situation where your sandals get wet, as in an impromptu visit to the beach with friends. These sandals survived walking in ocean water, though I don't recommend doing it on a regular basis. I do love that the rubbery footbed cleans so easily and does well if it gets unexpectedly wet.) -The arch support and heel cup is nice, but on a thin sole. I think the Vionic Tide flip-flops are a notch higher when it comes to sandal support, that you can wear all day and your feet will feel great. These are dressier, of course. - The price tag at $90 is double what it should be, for what it is, but it's a style I've been searching years for (with arch support thrown in, to boot.)

I bought these 6 years ago and they were the best sandals I’ve ever owned. I would walk miles in them at a time (anmusement parks, walking the city on vacation, hiking, wading rivers to fish, etc), and they’re so comfortable. Great arch support, I have very skinny arched feet. They are also very cute with dressy outfits (teva’s and chaco’s are HIDEOUS). I wore them for years until they were falling apart and unwearable. I’ve been searching for them for two years now and thought olukai had stopped making them. Couldn’t find them on their website, or in any store that carried the brand. I kept searching on here and they popped up out of nowhere one day. I’ve never been so excited in my life! They’re the perfect sandal because they stay snug on your feet and you don’t have to worry about them slipping off, and being in water never damaged them

I don’t understand the glowing reviews for these sandals. They are comfortable-ish but not the most comfortable sandals I own. There isn't much to them--they are basically nothing more than a low profile flexible rubber flip flop base with leather straps. The insole is somewhat contoured but I have extremely fine-boned, very narrow feet with long arches and find them to be too flat to be truly supportive. People with thick, flat feet might find them more supportive but mine are too narrow to benefit from much of the contouring, which is mostly towards the edges of the footbed. I'd expected the insole to be leather-lined and maybe even cushioned, but it's entirely rubber like the sole, just texturized. Since they are all rubber, sometimes they get clammy when my feet sweat. The straps are soft and flexible as others have mentioned (though much too loose on my thin feet) but they're just bonded to the backing, not stitched together. In terms of sizing, I am a true 8N who sometimes has to size down to a 7.5 due to volume/width issues and found the size 8 length to be about right. Due to the position of the toe loop, which is closer to the front of the sandal, my long toes end up at the very front leaving extra space behind my heel. As mentioned, they are comfortable-ish, but considering all the stellar reviews and the steep price I just expected...a LOT more. If you're going to spend $90 on a pair of outdoorsy-type comfort sandals, I recommend Chaco leather sandals, which are higher quality and more supportive. I like the look of these sandals but fit and comfort make them overall meh.

Love these…true to fit…so comfy and stylish all in one. My new favourite sandals.

Nach langer Suche bin ich auf die Olu Kai Sandalen gestoßen. Sie sehen nicht nur sehr schön aus sondern sind auch total bequem. Das Material und die Verarbeitung sind top. Nur fallen sie groß aus, trage eigentlich 40,5-41 hier passt Größe 40 sehr gut.

Well-designed, ergonomic sole that conforms to the arch and cups the heel. Can be easily wiped clean of dirt and dust. Straps are genuine leather and stretch slightly with continued wear. Great for day walks, casual evenings out and they pack well for traveling. Recommend sizing up a half size as they fit small. I am a size 7.5 and wear an 8. Not recommended for anyone with wide feet.

Das sind sehr schöne Sandalen. Die Schuhgröße fällt in der Länge Nr. größer aus. Leider habe ich recht breite Füße, so dass mir die Schuhe zu schmal waren. Ansonsten wären sie bequem. Die Sohle ist sehr flexibel. Für normale und schmale Füße sind sie sicher bestens geeignet.

Man sieht und spürt, dass diese Sandalen von guter Qualität sind. Anscheinend perfekt für ein paar Trips, weil das Fußbett gut gepolstert ist, nur leider zu eng. Größe 38 passte perfekt in der Länge, aber die Lederriemen waren zu eng für meine chronisch nicht zu stark geschwollenen Füße. Deshalb gehen sie schweren Herzens jetzt zurück und ich hoffe, dass die Größe 39 mir besser passt.
