“Ordered the brown pair. Upon arrival they looked drab, the design etching was barely discernible. Now that I've worn them for a few weeks (primarily indoors), they've developed an attractive oxidized patina & the etched designs standout markedly especially the insoles. The leather is soft, supple, smooth, well stitched/made.
Very light & comfortable to wear. I normally wear size 9.5" shoes but my first, less expensive pair of Olu Kai sandals were 9". I was very satisfied with the fit so the Kulias are 9", too. I have @ 1" to spare in front, @ 1/2" in the rear. I'm not a big fan of the front/rear "diving board" look on my sandals/flip flops. No socks, TYVM!
The black Kulias are next on my list. I plan to polish them with beeswax unless someone has a better suggestion.”
