Very versatile beach footwear
Outback
8 years ago
Our trip plans called for a cruise in an area of Australia with lots of beaches but no ports with frequent trips to the shoreline in Zodiacs. It was recommended to have water shoes to use on these types of trips to the beach. I picked the OluKai Water Shoes for this reason. To check out the versatility of these shoes I first wore them all day in a warm humid climate and racked up close to 10,000 steps. There was virtually no breakin and through out the day my feet stayed cool as I could actually feel the breeze coming through the webbing. The tread was certainly adequate for this activity as it was mostly city walking and I'm sure for beach excursions they will be great. My next test was to wear them at the beach under a number of circumstance. First I walked though loose sand and remarkable no sand came through the double mesh and it was easily shaken off. Then I waded through the surf and walked again through loose sand. While the water on the shoes picked up sand, again the sand did not come though the webbing. I stamped off the sand, walked around for a while and then rinsed the sand off and continued to walk. After inspecting them some but very, very little sand had come into the shoe but because the inner liner is easly removed, that sand was easily removed.

Got these as a gift. Wore them for a short time initially and they were fine. But the second trip, after walking in them for 10 minutes I got hotspots and then blisters on both heels. I ended up wearing them like slip-ons with the heels folded down.

Great Performance - Disappointing Durability

6 years ago

I bought these for a 6-week trip to Thailand during rainy season in a quasi-urban environment. I did a few hikes in them, but mostly walking around and working in an animal sanctuary where they were always getting wet. Their ability to dry quickly was great and I love the look and the pretty flat footbed. I used my own orthotics instead of the OEM insole and had no problem with comfort. So far, so good! About 2 days before my trip ended, both of the top shoelace eyelets failed. (I don't overtighten them) I just took them to REI and was told that this was normal wear and tear and they're not meant for constant use. I would have been happier if the sole had worn out before the eyelets, but at least they lasted as long as I needed them.

Really Enjoying

6 years ago

I bought these 6 months ago after trying them out in the store and even after reading concerns heel issues. So what did I do? I broke them in over a couple of days. Since they are adjustable easily I wore some thin socks and didn't wear them for more than a few hours for 3 or 4 hours. After that I wear them hiking, biking, swimming, and everything else without socks and have never had a problem.

Destroyed my heels

6 years ago

I'm sure these are very nice shoes for hanging out at the beach, but don't plan on taking any long walks in them. I went on a three mile fishing/hiking trek in mine and, in spite of using moleskin on the hot spots, I ended up with two deep horizontal sores on each heel. Two weeks later, my feet are still healing. I've owned a lot of higher-end water shoes over the years and spent many hours fishing and hiking in them and have never had anything tear up my feet the way these did.

Painful

8 years ago

I bought these because they were the only water shoes available at the REI near me that fit my feet. Everything else I tried on was too narrow. They felt great when I tried them on. Unfortunately, after three days of use they have destroyed the back of my foot. (Think where your Achilles Tendon is) Even giant bandages weren't enough to pad my foot. The back of the shoe just ground right through it. I plan to take them back today.
