Soft comfortable simple

I noticed the lighter brown colored shoe in the store, not noticing it online. Picture does not do it justice. It has a soft leather, already worn in feel when I put it on the store. It runs slightly large (I bought the 6.5 and can wear with and without socks). I would say my feet are slightly wide compared to average. It did feel something firm or scratchy on the sides and on the heel (if wearing as a slipper) after wearing them without socks around the house, but I think I will be wearing them with socks more this fall/winter and hopefully they will go away. In appearance, they were just what I was looking for with the soft comfort and good quality, simplicity. I treated it with the nubuck cleaner that REI sells and was recommended.

Quality control not there

I recently purchased two pairs of the dark brown pair. I have a black pair. Love them so much I wore them out. But, these newer brown ones lack the quality of my older OluKai. First of all, the sizing isn't quite the same. They're a bit smaller. Okay. No big deal. However, the removable footbeds definitely aren't as spongy. These brown footbeds are harder, definitely not nearly as squishy. And lastly, the back stitching, at the base of where you can fold them down, is completely a MESS. The stitching is uneven and the seam lines are uneven - on BOTH pairs. Very very disappointed with what's happened to these. Maybe it's just the brown vs the black, but whatever it is, the quality has definitely taken a dive, unlike the price. I'm returning these to REI as soon as possible.

My everyday shoe

5 years ago

I am so excited that REI is carrying these shoes again! I am just purchasing my second pair today after wearing my original pair for nearly 6 years. These are my go to every day and travel shoes. These are lightweight and perfect to pack, tour around all day, and dress up for dinner, etc. I hardly ever wear socks with them and do not find that they carry an odor like some other brands. Bonus, the soles are removable and washable. I was nervous to wash them for a long time, but they dried perfectly to their original condition. I have very wide feet and these stretched to fit very comfortably. My original pair is still holding up well; I am only purchasing a new pair that will look less worn for work.

These shoes are durable, comfortable and stylish! I mean that's a win win win! And I did reach out to customer service and their team was so helpful and awesome. I now have two pairs of these amazing shoes. I wear them every single day and I'm rather hard on them and they've stood up to my beatings for over a year now. And I ride my bike to work in these, wear them to the park, garden, I don't give here things a break! LOVE!!!

Just great

7 years ago

I am so pleased with these shoes. The minute I put them on they were so comfortable. I know I will be using these shoes a lot -- just great for wearing with trousers and shorts. I appreciate that the insole does NOT have any arch support, because I can then leave it in when adding my own orthotics. This is the first time I've bought shoes on-line, didn't know how it would go, but knew REI would stand behind the product. Very happy with this purchase.

love this shoe!

6 years ago

I have worn this shoe almost everyday for the last few months. This shoe is very versatile, easy to walk a few miles in or wear with a nicer outfit. I have removed insole several times to wash & it still holds up well. I live in a colder climate, so warmer leather shoe works well, but can see how it would be hot in a humid or warmer climate. I have gotten it wet several times & was it has not harmed the look or fee of shoe.

Easy Comfy Slip Ons

5 years ago

I was looking for a pair of Easy Comfy Slip Ons for “House Shoes” or a quick outing. These fit the test, and even though you can wear them with the heel backs down, I prefer them up. They were true to size, have a little bit of arch support which I need and I always order leather vs. man made material for breathability. Love the nubuck leather but only problem for me personally is that they have a synthetic fabric lining and therefore are not breathable. So what happens is my feet sweat and then get cold. Cold feet no fun. They are fine on warmer days and I do enjoy them so they are a good purchase.

Supple leather

Picked these up today after ordering online. I went up a size to be safe and they fit perfect. The leather is very soft.

Comfy casual shoes

I LOVE my OluKai Women's Nohea Nubuck Shoes. This is the third pair I've purchased. They are good looking and comfortable. I wish REI carries more colors. I believe They come in brown, light brown, blue, black, and red.

Nice comfy walking shoe

8 years ago

These shoes are high-quality leather, simple walking shoes. I had to exchange also for a half size larger. Now i am working them in and they just need a tiny stretch in the right toe and they will be perfect.
