“My husband loved these when he first put them on. Perfect fit! But, when he laced them up and walked a bit, they were squeaking. I mean really loud and comical. Both boots and not just in one spot. Like the whole boot! He was bummed. Had to send them back. Poor quality and value!!”
Aloha Vanessa,

We would love to resolve this for you and ensure you are fully satisfied with your purchase. Feel free to email us at info@olukai.com and we would be happy to discuss some options with you.
“Picked these up for a trip to Scotland (in December) expecting to see rain and snow. After logging 70+ miles, I found them to be sturdy, lightweight, and certainly waterproof. The soles are not extremely aggressive but were up to task both on wet cobblestones and snow/ice. Thankfully, since this was a last-minute purchase, I found the boots to be true to size and break-in was almost immediate. The leather stood up well to minor scuffs and snow. Now, back home, clients are complimenting them in the office.
I have fairly narrow feet and found that lacing these boots up was a bit of a challenge to get the proper tension low on the foot. After crossing the laces under the tongue-stay and again above the open hooks (before the final eyelets), I found that I could get the right feel. Once tied this way, I did not have to retie at all even on 10-mile days. Magic!
No regrets. Would absolutely buy again.”
“I bought the 11.5 as for me Olukai tend to run a little small compared to normal. (normal size 11) They fit great - are stylish, and feel very comfortable. The more I wear them, the better the feel. I like that they can dress up or down - they don't feel too showy going out with the boys, but look very nice going out with my wife.”
“Great boot. Durable, withstands wet weather, provides good traction on/off trails, and can work in less casual areas. Laces are a bit silly with the top-most thread being a through-the-boot hole instead of a hook like the other anchors. Workable, but a bit inconvenient.”
“Really nice quality. However, one of the boots causes my ankle to be sore in a specific spot. Wore them extensively for two days but had to stop. Haven't worn them since.”
