OluKai

Pehuea Li Ili

Women's

All the reviews said they run small and I am glad I read them, i got a half size bigger and they fit great. They are very sturdy and well made, super comfortable.

I ordered these as I already have the Pehuea and it is one of the only shoes that I can wear while I am suffering with a bout of plantar fasciitis. I needed something a bit more durable than the Pehuea to get me through the New England winter. They are very stiff and my big toe almost touches the end of the shoe. I kept them hoping that the leather would stretch a bit on breaking them in. No luck on that in the 3 weeks that I’ve had them. I guess I’ll just have to stick with thin socks. Disappointed that these were not as comfortable as the Pehuea.

The first pair I ordered in the size I always get for Olukai shoes seemed too small. I exchanged for a half size bigger and they fit better. I still think they can fit better, but maybe they just need to have a break-in period since they are leather.

I was disappointed by the lack of arch support and the absence of padding in the insole. Returned the shoes. There are better choices out there when it comes to comfort and support.
