Review: Perfect house/casual shoe. Caution on slick tile. - I like a lightweight shoe to wear around the house, but I don't love traditional "slippers" that look silly if you happen to go outside in them, and here in Florida, we don't need the fluffy shearling things they sell for snow states. It can be tough to find a good fit. Had some Rockports that were great that they don't make any more, and then some clunky cloth slip-ons from Vessi that were okay but wore poorly at the sole. I already had a pair of Olukai slip-ons in leather that I love, so I thought I'd try these. Glad I did. LIKES Comfort: These are feather-light shoes. No matter how long they're on, they don't pinch or overheat my feet. No less comfortable than a pair of socks. Perfect for all-day wear in the house. Looks: Olukai has great style, and these shoes look sleek and exude quality. Even the soles look cool. No problem should you be seen by the public wearing the "house shoes." Durability: I hesitated to pay $100 for shoes some people say start to wear quickly because of the mesh cloth upper. I'm only a month in, but they look brand-new. I'm not beating them up walking outside all the time, but I do have them on to fetch the mail, move the garbage cans, etc. They may not last forever, but they are unquestionably well-built and easily tough enough for my intent to mainly wear them indoors NOT SO LIKES Price: Everything's weirdly expensive these days, but brand-name lightweight shoes were already $100 when I bought those Rockports 12 years ago. Wish they cost less, but here we are. Traction: I think these shoes are probably perfect for the sort of sandy or rocky terrain Olukai seems to envision for all of its footwear. But we don't all live on a Hawaiian beach. I have noticed these are not well-suited to the slippery tile on our screen porch when there's some dew or moisture. The Vessi shoes had zig-zag siped soles like deck shoes, and stuck much better to the slick tile. With these I have to be *very* careful when the porch is damp. No such issue on normal sidewalks or any of the tile or wood indoors. CONCLUSION: These are the perfect house/light-duty shoes for me. I hope they hold up for a good long time, but so long as they're good for a year or so, I think I've found my new favorite. FIVE comfy, ultralight stars.
Review: Great house shoe - Edit February 2024: I purchased these in June 2022, so they lasted me nearly two years before the seam at the front of the toe started to come undone. I would say that's pretty acceptable wear for a pair of shoes I wear every day for 16 hours. The old pair are still pretty comfortable, they wore in nicely becoming more flexible without ever feeling too loose or like they would slip off. The soles start very hard but do soften up over time. The insoles did lose a lot of their shape, but they remain more supportive than being bare foot. Over all I'm satisfied with these as house shoes, and purchased a new pair. Original Review: I've been wearing these as house shoes while working from home. They're comfortable, light, and very breathable. Plus, you can slip them on easily. They are comfortable with or without socks, and walking in them with the back folded down isn't awkward feeling as it is on most slippers. When looking for house shoes, I wanted something I could wear with socks without my feet getting too hot, but that I could also wear without socks and wouldn't soak up a lot of sweat. I also wanted them to be easy to slip on, and not uncomfortable to wear all day. These shoes fit the bill pretty well. They aren't perfect, as others have pointed out the soles are really hard. I haven't had an issue with them being "too loud" but I can see why it bothers others. They also aren't the most grippy. I probably would not recommend these for someone to actually walk around and stand in for a long time, they do run a bit loose (which is good for my use case) so you would probably get blisters if you went for a walk in them. But just around the house, mainly sitting at a desk, they work great.
