Olukai Sandals
Wait, someone said to me! Are you really going to review a pair of $100+ Flip Flops? Well yes, yes we are. What is special about these Olukai Sandals? They don’t have a can opener on the bottom, there is no flask built in, and they don’t make noise when you walk. What they are, is supposedly the most comfortable sandals on the market.
They come in two versions, the Mauka which combines native art with handcrafted leathers and materials for the guy heading out on a night on the town. And the Makai, which uses innovative technology and the very best in water and sand resistant materials, these represent the next generation of amphibious footwear. OluKai was conceived from a desire to create a better class of products for the life we live in and around the water. Their philosophy is to support the efforts of those who continue to give back to preserve local cultures and traditions.
Their anatomical footbed is the heart of every pair. With its biomechanically correct shape, it supports and positions your entire foot naturally, allowing you to move through your stride comfortably and correctly. That means reduced foot, leg and back fatigue, better heel cushioning, and no toe gripping. Toe posts use a loop connection, inner reinforcement, and an exterior seam stitch to make them more durable and comfortable, which is big for us since we seem to blow out sandals at record pace.
The finishing touches – embossing, laser etching, hand-stitching – are designed to add character without sacrificing comfort. Inspired by authentic Polynesian art forms, these details honor the diverse cultures of the islands, all of this is backed by a one-year guarantee.
Not only do they make sandals, but they offer a whole line of island style footwear for men, women and kids. If they feel as good on your feet as they look this might actually make it worth the high price point.
