These are a great quality shoe. A little more money than most; however, you get what you pay for. They fit true to size, and would definitely buy again.

Feet down the best pair of sandals I've purchased. Others are correct that you should purchase a ½ size larger than normal. I took that advice and I'm glad I did. They are even comfortable on moderate-long walks. I've owned other sandals where moderate-long walks were out of the question as far as comfort goes but the Hiapo's are up for the challenge. The glue where the strap meets the side has worn a little over the last couple of months but the straps are also stitched to the side so I'm not too worried about it.

I typically do not wear sandals because I have had a couple foot injuries and require substantial arch support. I knew that I would need to wear some, however, on a recent beach trip in SE Asia. I opted for the Hiapos based on the fantastic reviews, and I could not have been more pleased. I typically wear a 12 wide, so I ordered both the 12 medium and the 13 medium. The 12s were a little snug and a little short, so I\'d say they run true to size for width and maybe a half size small for length.

This was a gift for my husband and he absolutely loved them. They provided great support for his arches, which is extremely hard to find in flip-flops.

These flip flops are almost everything you\\\'d want them to be. I\'ve owned them now for about a month. The only downsides I\\\'ve noticed is they took a couple weeks to break in comfort-wise (although that\\\'s probably normal) and sometimes the leather squeaks when walking quickly. Other than that they are a stellar feet companion!

Wonderful sandals. The arch support is great and fits perfect. The natural curve when you walk is just amazing. I would highly recommend these to anyone that wants a great pair of sandals should try these. My wife wears the MBTs and she like the feel of these when she tried them. I can see her buying a pair for vacation soon.

Got these for my husband, the first few times he wore them, he said they felt weird, but now loves them. He has wore Clark flip flops with no arch support in the past and these have arch support, so it took a few times to get used to it. He normally wears size 10 in all shoes and had to go up to an 11 in these. Says they are worth the money.

These flip flops really look like a hundred bucks! You know your looking at quality and my husband says they feel like quality. He said they become even more comfortable each time he wears them. The black leather has a carmel colored (brown) stitching so they look great with anything. He loves them, I love them.

Best Flip Flop Ever - I love this style flip flop. This is my 3rd pair. I have two other colors. These look great with jeans and shorts. Worth the extra money!

Awesome sandals! But even better service from the crew at Zappos. I had to make an exchange and they were extremely helpful and made the experience super easy and seamless!

My new sandals were bought as a replacement for my Uggs, which were the best to date. While it took a few outings to break the OluKais in, they have been a good replacement. I bought a half size bigger and that was perfect.

I tried a pair of these on in Key West last month and they felt great but I didn't want to buy them then since it meant one more thing to squeeze in the carry-on for the trip home. The day after I got home to Ohio I found these shoes on Zappos and ordered them. It has been just over a month now so I can't speak on the long term durability of these but the comfort is outstanding. Every chance I get to wear these I do. Knowing what I know now I would have bought these in Key West and found a way to get them home. The only drawback is that they shouldn't get wet so I am careful with them poolside. Other than that, truly worth the higher price.

A friend recommended me to this brand after my last pair of Reefs got ruined while at the beach. I got this in black/black, and I have to admit I love them. They look stunning, and are really good quality. I love the laser engraving!

The OluKai Hiapo has got to be one of the best investments in footwear I have ever made. They're exquisitely crafted. They conform to the foot perfectly right out of the box. So cushy a ride and such amazing support for a thong sandal, it's unbelievable, I don't even like to take them off! And I'm not really a foot sandal kind of guy! But these have converted me for good. I'm impressed by the look and design of the sandal as well as by their quality and fit. Simply outstanding and worth every cent. Get 'em! I give these my unequivocal recommendation.

OluKai flops are the best (have 2 pairs of Hiapos) - extremely well-made and supportive. I have narrow, flat feet, and the footbed shape/arch support is excellent. The longer strap also helps fit. I have even shot hoops in these (just shooting around). Note that other reviewers are correct: OluKai run small so get yours in a half to one full size larger than you normally wear. My wife likes them, too. She keeps "trying" them on around the house. I just ordered the Haiku for her yesterday. I imagine she will like those even better since they fit. Highly recommended; worth every penny & support is better than many shoes.

My wife and I first saw these shoes in a local surf shop a year or so ago and fell in love with OluKai shoes. Since I live at the beach I wear sandals year round almost every day and these are worth the price. Buy them today.

I have had these flip flops now for about a week. I am thrilled with the comfort, look, and fit. I am a 9.5 in shoes and the size 10 was the perfect choice. Service was absolutely fantastic. Started with Merrell Westsport and they were too small and tight. Decided to upgrade to the OluKai Hiapo and that next day the shoes were at my door and the Westsports were taken away by UPS. Wonderful experience!

Wearing the OluKai Hiapo is like being on a perpetual vacation. The arch support allows me to wear them all day without my feet feeing tired. Flip flops are my thing--I have a variety in my closet. The OluKai Hiapo's are the only ones I reach for. Yes, this "ride" is spendy, but well worth the cash. They felt great on the first test drive and continue to feel great. I am considering another OluKai in a different style. Zappos is the only way to go. The customer service is amazing. You people rock!
