“While I liked the style and features of the Papaku Ili, it was too heavy for my liking and didn’t provide the arch support I need for my aging feet. Still a huge Olukai fan. Have been for years.”
“full disclosure ~ i’ve been in the athletic / running industry for most of my career - that said, my foot is more “educated”, per se, resulting in higher expectations.
I’ve been wearing as my everyday shoe for the last 5 days or so - my (walking) commute is just over a mile each way.
That said, the shoe has shifted from very uncomfortable and stiff on day one, to more comfortable, and certainly tolorable, although still not super comfortable in the purist sense.
you have a great brand and opportunity within the space, but a few things would help; an extra 1-2mm of on the footbed, especially under metatarsals. Consider a lighter dual density midsole / outsole unit - these are HEAVY.
As a longtime Olukai user (sandals), i’m rooting for you. These are close, and can be great with a few minor tweaks. Continued good luck!”
