OluKai Ho'opio Women's Beach Sandals, Quick-Dry Flip-Flop Slides

Bought my first pair in Hawaii on vacation at the start of 2018. At first I just thought, ok, they’re cute and they fit differently than others I see and own. Then I did everything in them daily from extreme labor in the yard, to multi mile walks, to just going out with friends. Flip flops are hands down my preferred shoe preference to start. These were like magic though because they fit every activity! Perpetually brand new, seriously comfortable, really cute flip flop perfection. Low profile, easy to pack, never lost their shape or even changed their shape, perfectly fitting the bottoms of my feet. So now in mid 2024 when they finally started to show wear at the thong, I came online to get the same style. Thank goodness they still have it. These are the same fit, just not the same color scheme, and I’ll miss my old color scheme, but I doubt I will for long! They’re just that good. Important on sizing is that I am always a 6.5, and in full size only option shoes, I’ve only otherwise ever been a 7. This is the only style I’ve ever been an 8 in, and I have been an 8 in both pairs. They were too short for my liking in the heel in a 7. So if you don’t like flip flops short on the heel, size up. I hope it helps!

I love these sandals! Very simple design and comfortable. The white is very white. I wear them when I dress up or down! I always take them on my cruises. They do run large. I wear a 8.5 to 9 and I order these in 10.

I purchased my first pair of OLUKAI Ho'opio flip flops back in 2016 when my family was vacationing in Oahu, and they are my absolute favorite flip flops ever. In fact, they are my favorite footwear ever, and if I had to choose only one pair of shoes to wear for the rest of my life, I would choose these. I love them so much that they are the first pair of flip flops I ever wore until they couldn't be worn anymore because I wear them for literally everything--beach, date night, mowing the lawn, running errands--literally ANY occasion. Living in WI, I switch out the shoes I keep on my shoe mat next to our door to accommodate the seasons, but these flip flops stay out year-round because I wear them to drive my kids to school in the winter sometimes. Why are they so great? Because they're comfortable (even when wet), waterproof, quick drying, easy to clean, compatible with pretty much any outfit, and they are VERY well made. I wore the heck out of my first pair, and they lasted almost 7 years! I freaked out for a few seconds when the toe band detached on one flip flop last week, but then I remembered that I could just order a new pair. (By the way, this is the first time in my life that I've ever ordered a new pair of the exact same shoes.) While I waited for the new pair to arrive, I worried that the quality or construction of this flip flop may have changed the way they do with so many other products over time, but I'm very happy to report that my new Ho'opio flip flops are as awesome as the first pair I had! To the makers of this flip flop: Thank you for making such a high-quality product and for not changing the design over the past 7 years.

**sizing info at the bottom of this review** I’ve had these flip flops for a couple months now, and I can say they have only gotten better with wear! Living in Florida I wore flip flops daily, but when I got planter fasciitis, I stopped wearing them and only wore sandals with backs. But a couple months ago I was speaking with my physical therapist and she recommend Olu Kai flip flops. I purchased some for my husband a year or so earlier because he’s a size 16 and not many brands make sandals so large. (I just mentioned to him the other day how rude it was of him not to share with me how comfortable these things are!) I wear them all day, and my foot is completely supported. I forget I’m wearing them! A note about sizing...not all OluKai shoes fit the same. I was gifted another pair and they were too narrow for me. I went to the olukai website and they have a great sizing scale for each shoe that really helps with finding the right design for your foot. The Ho’Opio are a little wider in the toe bed. I have a medium width foot and the straps are ALMOST too big for me, so a narrow foot would not work for these particular shoes! Since each foot is different, make sure to double check sizes!

These sandals are the best. I have bought 3 pairs over the years. The fit is great and so comfortable

They are a little tight in the begging, but other than that and giving them some time to break in so far they are really nice.

This is my second pair in TEN years! No kidding. I bought my first pair of this exact same style a little over 10 years ago. Only just last summer started to wear a bit. Considering I used to buy a pair of $30 flip flops every summer, before I bought my first pair of these, I’d say they have more than paid for themselves. These dry quickly, provide moderate but amazing support and are hands-down the best option out there…for me, at least. I was beyond pleased to find out this style is still made. I do recommend sizing up…I’m a solid 8-8.5 but get these in a size 9, my last pair and this one. I do have a narrow and thin foot so I’m not sure if these work for all types of feet, but for mine they are perfect.

Love these sandals - they are pretty enough to dress up or dress down and the quality is far superior to most flip flops on the market.

Love them. I think I would get the ones with the wider top part next time because it was digging a bit. The smaller one is very elegant though

Love it

Good support and fit true to size.

I was replacing a pair I bought that broke

U can wear them w/ anything and truly comfortable
