Customer Reviews OluKai Paniolo

This sandal ran at least a half size larger than the other styles I have worn by OluKai. I ordered a size 9 and was swimming in them. Had to return them.

These are absolutely the most comfortable pair of sandals you are going to find for the price. They are ready to wear as soon as you slip them on...no rubbing, breaking in etc. I can wear these all day and my feet are never tired. I was a Born sandal girl before but with the awesome arch support these have I will be buying these from now on.

I fell in love with these at a surf shop while on vacation this summer. Decided to research them on Zappos when I got home. It took three tries, but once I got the right fit, I have worn them literally every day this summer. Great arch support and so stylish! This style is true to size. Can't say enough about how cute they are-I can be hip and have good arch support this one!

Very high quality leather sandal. Easy to walk in and very comfortable. The arch support definitely makes a difference. Love them!

Love these sandals. I am going to order another pair in black. I wasn't sure I was going to like the arch support, but it conforms to your feet. I usually wear the cheap flip flops, but I think I will be wearing these more. Fast shipping. I ordered these on a Sunday night and received them on Tuesday.

These sandals are great. They conformed to my foot the first day that I wore them. I will buy other Olukai styles. Zappos is my first stop when I am looking for a particular shoe. I wear a size 6 and is often difficult to find. Love the selection and the customer service.

Every summer I buy a casual pair of sandals, usually flip flops and wear them until they fall apart. These sandals are not going to fall apart! Comfortable, attractive, with great stitching on the foot bed. Friends ask me what brand they are and where I got them! They are definitely worth the price!

While these are a bit pricey for flip flops, they are so comfortable that I actually bought a second pair. The leather is so comfortable and quite pretty. I am a fan of the ribbon instead of leather between my toes but these are so comfortable that it didn\'t matter. But it is the arch support that is the best part. Flip flops frequently have no arch support but these are definitely are the exception. If they could, my feet would sigh with relief every time I put these on.

Love these! I wanted the Rainbow narrow strap sandals, but they were too narrow for my foot. I ended up trying these on in the store and fell in love! Ordered from Zappos and received them the next day. Fit is perfect (true to size) and these sandals are so comfortable - no breaking in required. I love the arch support, too. Don't hesitate if you are thinking about these.

So I’m usually a solid 9. I wasn’t sure when these came as they were stiff and felt like maybe they were too long. However now that I’ve worn them multiple times they are breaking in. Love the details. I have a fairly narrow foot so if you have a wide foot they may not work. They do have a little arch support which is nice. My first pair of olukais and I will prob be back for another.

I loved the look of these, but found the leather thong quite uncomfortable. It's much thicker than the fabric thong of the Ohana and the Kumu (my preference).

I love the way these look but be prepared for some break in time for the leather between your toes.

I have a pair of OluKai Kumu W that I love! I bought these because the Kumu W did not come in black. Although these are prettier, they do not fit as well and are not as comfortable as the Kumu W style. I always wear a medium width, but my last toe was nearly hanging off the edge of these. And although I held these bottom to bottom with the Kumu W style, both size 7, and they were exactly the same length, the Paniolo W style was strangely too short. (I wear a 7.5 but in OluKai flip flops an 8 is always too long.) If you can make the fit work for you, they are good-looking, well-constructed, and supportive. I am just hoping that Zappos will take them back since I tossed the box already.

I wanted to keep these flip flops in the worst way! I love the color! They are just a bit heavy for me and the piece between the toes bothered me some - it probably would soften up after time but for the money I just could keep them. I am not a huge flip flop person and as heavy as they were I found myself walking around the house and it sounded like I didn't know how to pick up my feet. Aside from all of that, the arch support was great and they were very comfortable if I was standing still. These are truly the prettiest flip flops I've ever seen.

I love the style of the women's OluKai flip flops, but they run too narrow for my flat, somewhat wide foot. The toe piece was a little rough. The style is so great, if they fit my foot I would love them.

These took a while to break in: the leather straps cut into the tops of my foot the first couple of times I wore them. A couple of bandaids fixed that up. Right now they're my favorite shoes. They're slightly more dressy than most flipflops and I can wear them to work without feeling like I'm on my way to the pool. They've formed pretty close to my feet and I love them. Trouble is, I can't quite see them lasting that long. After a month, the footbed is very much squished down and they're looking very worn. They were not exactly a bargain. I will try to remain optimistic.

I agree that the foot bed is slippery when new but that didn't stop me from wearing them all day every day from the moment I opened the box. After trying both the size 7 and 8 (I usually wear 7 1/2) I got the 7. These are built to last!

I ordered three different styles of Olukai's and these were the winners. They are super comfortable, this is coming from someone who wears orthotics. Great foot support, comfy between toes, well made. Only change would've been the color. I wish it were more of an orange red.

Just received these and am so disappointed that I have to return them. They are way too narrow, my little toe hangs off. Also a bit too long at the top, heel part is fine. Why can't they make flip flops in widths? We all have different shaped feet and I wish I could find a pair that fits mine without having to consider guys' flip flops, yuk. Style-wise they are clunky and if you wear an 11 as I do, forget it, to me they look ugly. I was not impressed that it took 7 days to receive these. Ordered the evening of June 8, received June 15.

I like them! Just enough heel to make them dressier than flip flops and very comfy. The foot beds feel different (actually keeps my feet from moving around) because of the embossing - and the sandals have enough bend to make them easy to walk in. I took them out of the box and wore them all day - they are definitely a favorite sandal.

These are a great looking pair of flip flops. The stitching was very cool and the foot bed was comfy. Not as much arch support as the Haiku. The sole is a full rubbery bottom, as the Haiku have two separate sole pads. unfortunately the straps were too loose. As I tried them out around the house I found myself curling up my toes and fighting to keep them on my feet. I ordered a second pair to be sure and they fit the same way. I sent them back. Totally bummed. I have the Haiku, different fit and thicker straps, very comfy.

Shoe is very comfortable.Runs narrow, and a 1/2 size small. Shipping was fast. No complaints.

I bought these sandals to replace my beloved Olukai Haiku sandals, which finally came apart at the seams. I loved the Haiku, which is an all leather sandal with beautiful soles like these Paniolos. The Paniolo isn't quite as nice, and doesn't feel like the same caliber of sandal I expected after loving my Haikus so much. The outsole is man made rather than leather, and the stitching feels a little cheap. I love the arch support and these are pretty comfortable, but not sure if they are worth the price tag.

I loved the look of these shoes and the texture feels great on the bottom of your foot. The strap between the toes however, is somewhat uncomfortable. In the end I just couldn't bring myself to wear them... because every time I put them on, I wished I was in another pair of shoes. Back to Zappos and I'll find something else.

I really liked the Paniolo wedge sandals that I have, so I bought these for all around use, and safer walking since I am pregnant. I love the comfort and support for my feet, but they are dangerous. There is absolutely no traction on a wet floor. Definitely not something I would expect from a flat sandal! The wedges and men's version have a better tread design. I'm disappointed.
