Men’s OluKai Kahu Lauhala Woven Leather Slip-On Shoes

VERIFIED REVIEWER

I purchased these shoes as I was torn between wanting a "Fisherman" type of sandal, or a pair of new Topsider style of boat shoes, and I couldn't be happier with these shoes. They are not only stylish, but extremely comfortable - especially with the arch supports in the soles which most boat shoes or fisherman sandals do not have. I typically wear a size 10, however, after trying on similar OluKai shoes in a local store (the store did not have these particular shoes available), I found that most OluKai's that I tried on ran a bit larger, and I found that a half-size down was a perfect fit. So instead of ordering a size 10, I went with a 9.5 - and was surprised that they were a little tight when they arrived. However, after wearing them around for about a week now, they have stretched out a bit (thankfully for the leather uppers that can stretch) and they now fit perfectly. So, I'm not sure if ordering my true size would have worked out better, or if ordering a half size down is the better choice, but now that the shoes have stretched out a bit, they are some of the most comfortable boat or casual style shoes I've ever had. The only drawback is that I thought they would be ventilated a bit more, as wearing them for an extended period of time on a hot day with no socks seems to get a little hot on your feet - but then again, much better than the typical boat shoe that has little to no ventilation as well... so really, not much to complain about. And the styling is Awesome!! I have received so many compliments already on how nice these shoes look - as I have worn them with shorts to the pool, and nice jeans to work - and these shoes go great whether they are dressed up or dressed down... And when it does get a bit hot on the feet, you can collapse heel portion of the shoe (more like a Spa or Beach sandal) to get a bit more ventilation if needed. These shoes have quickly replaced my old worn out boat shoes, and even my most comfortable tennis shoes now!!

I wasn't even in a shopping mood to look at shoes, when I saw these and saw these can be worn as backless shoe or a regular shoe I had to get them after I tried them on and felt how comfortable they are.

The shoes are very comfortable And stylish
