“First cane across Locals slippas over 8 years ago while in Hawaii. Purchased a pair and they have been my go-to shoe every summer and every outing that didn't have snow on the ground.
After 8 yrs, my first pair broke. So happy to be able to buy them online now and wanted a great company to keep my business. Still my favorite shoe and now I have various pairs to enjoy.”
“When I'm really missing Hawaii, a new pair of Locals brings a little piece of it to the mainland. Their fit is perfect, hugging my feet for the ideal toe grip, and the colors and patterns let me imagine for a moment those slippahs are walking me back to my Kailua home...”
“Just need to let you know this -- not trying to ruin your business but I know I know you don't publish negative reviews anyway. Please read this to improve your products.
In the last year, I bought 3 prs of slippahs from you + delivery comes to about $150 CDN. BTW, I somehow thought your business was 'local' to HI -- smooth mktg.
Problem is inconsistency in sizing, fit, comfort, quality across styles.
1. Locals original: super comfy, perfect fit. Absorbs sweat, retains odor quite quckly, even tho I don't have sweaty feet. Died within 6 mos of only indoor wear. The soles really flattened and the strap split.
2. Red aloha pattern: Sizing and fit are fine and I like the less absorbent, smooth sole but hard as cardboard.
3. Reggae slippah: pretty, comfy sole, feels more durable than original and less absorbent...BUT fits too small.
I also think your delivery cost is too much to come from LA to Vancouver, CA. Especially when you think these are $10 slippahs at the shop.
I have had a pr of Surfah slippahs, not wearing all the time and flattened some, but still comfortable and wearable after 20 yrs.”
“Great service love these slippahs so much I ordered 2 pairs they are the best Filipino flops I have ever had💗💗and arrived in a timely manner thank you 💐”
“Loved locals slippages for 40+ years. Used to get them at the local Longs when I was visiting frequently….. the got more scarce over the years. Found this site……oh yeah….. got plenty…..for now….. gonna get more for sure. Thanks locals”
“I have worn Locals Massage Slippers for over 20 years...almost exclusively. I love them! I'll soon be 86 and first tried them when I was recovering from a broken foot. I believe those little bumps hit so many acupuncture spots on the foot that it helped in the transition from the "boot".”
“I returned my order for exchange one week ago and have not received any communication from Locals yet. I also phoned and left 3 voicemails with my phone # 503-659-9258 and have not received a response.
