Review: The perfect sandals! - These sandals are amazing. I know they aren't cheap but they are very high-quality and extremely comfortable. Excellent support and fit, and just wide enough for my big wide caveman feet. I highly recommend the OluKai Mea Ola Men's Leather Sandals! They look great too, sturdy with plenty of traction. I wouldn't want to destroy them on an ocean beach though - these are my day-to-day sandals and I want them to last forever!
Review: Buy a size bigger than you wear - I’m going to start with five stars and come back to edit later. I just received these sandals/flip-flops yesterday (8/24/2025). For perspective, I’ve been looking at these for months, and for a couple reasons. First, I’m trying to reduce the fake/plastic/toxic from my life, and having my feet touching leather instead of whatever the foam is made of on my current flops seems like a good step (pun intended) towards that end. Second, I have a high arch and would like that supported better. I read a good deal about these, including many of the reviews here. As this is an extremely high price for a pair of flip-flops, I felt I should research as much as possible before buying. The two things I was most concerned about after reading were the fit and longevity. As for the fit, here’s my experience: buy a size to a size and a half bigger than what you are accustomed to. If I have shoes that are wide enough (my Toms are) then a 10.5 wide or extra wide fit great. Most are not, so I usually get an 11 and realize it’ll be couple months before they are broken in. With these I bought a size 12, thinking they would be about right based on all the reviews. Well, the footbed is about right and the arch support is almost as high as I’d like. The strap is what I’d expect, even though it feels too tight. The “cushion” is almost non existent. But I’ve been wearing these foam ones for years. I suspect, being leather, that there’s a break-in period. And so I plan on coming back in a couple months to give an update. For now, they look great and feel like good quality.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the Mea Ola sandal run true to size, and should I size up or down if I am between sizes?**
A: The Mea Ola typically runs slightly small. Most customers find the best fit by sizing up, especially if between sizes or preferring a relaxed feel. The leather will gradually soften and conform to your foot, improving comfort and fit over time.

**Q: How should the Mea Ola sandals fit when you first put them on, and what should you expect during the break-in period?**
A: When first worn, the Mea Ola sandals should feel secure with a slightly snug fit, especially across the straps and toe post. This firmness is intentional, as the leather is designed to provide support and durable, long-lasting wear.

**Q: Are the Mea Ola sandals comfortable enough for extended walking or all-day wear once they are broken in?**
A: Yes, once broken in, the Mea Ola becomes highly comfortable for extended wear. The anatomical footbed and built-in arch support help reduce fatigue, and most users notice a significant improvement in comfort after the break-in period.

**Q: Can the Mea Ola sandals be worn in water or used for beach and ocean activities?**
A: The Mea Ola is best for dry, casual wear. It can handle light shoreline use but is not for prolonged water exposure or submersion. Repeated water contact may impact the appearance and long-term durability of the premium leather.

**Q: What makes the Mea Ola sandal a premium product compared to standard flip-flops?**
A: The Mea Ola is made with premium full-grain leather, handcrafted detailing, and an anatomical footbed for support and comfort. It is designed to mold to your foot over time and deliver long-lasting durability and value with proper care.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I thought these were too expensive, man, I was wrong.
*by F***O on August 8, 2023*

I finally ordered these sandals after forever having them in my cart. I am just really cheap about buying certain things. I have gone through about five pair of sandals in the last few years; they break, they wear, they become uncomfortable, whatever. The only pair of sandals that have lasted (actually for about 13 years now) is this cheap rubber pair someone lost at Hanalei bay, Kaua'i. At least I thought the found sandals were cheap, but man they have outlasted some other pricey sandals. Anyway, I have been looking for a nicer pair to kind of class up my act. I came across the Olukai brand at a shop and looked them up on Amazon. These are some smart-looking sandals. I love the look of these, so I sat on the $130 price tag, and sat, and sat. Then, just the other day, I must have been in a buying mood, I bought these. Almost all I can say is "OMG". I generally don't like toe thongs, but these aren't too bad (actually easy for me to get used to). I wore them for an hour or so to check them out. When I took them off, the floor felt funny beneath my feet; Felt like I was tipping. Having figured out what was happening, I found it to be the sandal design, and not because I ate some fermented beverage. The heel of the sandal tip me slightly forward, while the sides are built to tip you slightly toward your insole. The feeling is delicious. It is almost as if these sandals are helping me walk with a better gait. I wear a size 10.5 (in Nike) to size 10.5D to 11D ( in cowboy boots) and bought these in a size 11. Whatever the case, these sandals look great, feel great, are made of super quality material, are very sturdy, and are well worth me cashing in my coins to pay a little extra for some quality footwear. I LOVE these, and will keep working on getting use to the toe thong until I don't feel it anymore. I highly recommend this brand...and these particular sandals.
