OluKai Ohana Mens - Dark Java Ray 8

I purchased these sandals for my husband. I decided after the store visit to take an hour hike nearby. It was a hot day, the cab interior got to 95 degrees so not ridiculous. But when we picked up the sandals to wear to the creek, the interior part of the sole had shrunk and it had separated around the edges. I’ve had this brand of shoe, similar styles of flip flops and have never had this issue, even when I’ve left them in my vehicle for a week or two (lazy I know). Aren’t sandals supposed to be worn in hot weather as well? Aren’t beaches and poolside cement a lot hotter? So I went to rei to either return or replace them. The lady who I spoke with was very short and rude, telling me “every shoe has glue so this happens” and said there would be no refund or ... MoreI purchased these sandals for my husband.

When I tried to ask more about it, I was shut down and looked at blankly. She told me to try to manufacturer directly and that was it. I’ve never had a negative experience at rei, most of my camping and adventure gear and clothing are from here. But I really hope this isn’t the new normal.

The best footbed I've ever seen on a flip-flop, and they stay in place remarkably well. There's more arch support than one would expect, and they actually look quite good. Decent resort footwear for your vacation.The thing that keeps them from a perfect score is the "thong" that goes between your toes? It's 2 pieces of cloth and instead of being sewn to face forward, the two pieces are loose. That means it rubs back and forth between your toes as you walk, right in that sensitive are that is never callused. Doesn't take long to chafe there.It's very strange to me that a premium shoe company wouldn't have folks walk-test the design, because sewing that piece would have been a very cheap fix.Other than expecting some soreness in an unexpected spot the first ... MoreThe best footbed I've ever seen on a flip-flop, and they stay in place remarkably well.

I'll just wear them around the resort pool deck, rather than actually walking in them...

Amazing, I haven't worn a slipper with the toe tong in a long time. When it arrived I thought that it would take some time to get used to again. I must say that I had no problems and used them on the sand and streets of Puerto Rico. The are comfortable lite and I must say good looking and great craftsmanship. Also I have order other items from other companies in my size 11 and they are either too wide or not compitable. I must commend you guys on such a great experience.
