“Wanting a summer shoe for working on uneven ground in the garden, Makiki's glove-like fit gives much more stability than orthopedic-type shoes with 'roomy' toe-boxes which feel sloppy and uncomfortable with unreliable foot placement. The front sole-flare is less too, as I find shoes with a wide flare trip me up, and are dangerous when driving. However, as a gardener who often steps backwards, all current shoes with heel flares tend to trip me. I would wish my super Makikis had much less heel-flare. I was glad to find a great shoe with dark-coloured soles - white soles are for city folk. Maureen, British Columbia.”
“What piqued my interest was the islands on the shoes, then the color combination that reminds me of lava and the final was the fish hook underneath. I had to order it! Upon receipt, I couldn’t wait to try them on! Unfortunately, the midsection of the shoe was so tight, I had to squeeze my foot in it. It was really uncomfortable. I was totally bummed. However, I asked my husband if he could fit in it cause he wears the same size, he could have it! I just lost my shoes….”
“Incredible quality!! These shoes are the best I've ever owned and I would hands down recommend them. I can see why these are the shoes relied on for lifeguard training in Hawaii's beautiful yet perilous landscape: they've taken to the hills of San Francisco with ease. Finally, the shoes are absolutely beautiful (I've gotten many compliments on them): I love the limited edition black design with red bottom band (honestly, I hate how so many shoes have the white band at the bottom since that looks gross as the shoes age). Anyway, these shoes are great and the cherry on top is that Olukai is a certified B-corp
Also, really good customer support!: I had a technical issue with a promotion they were running with Strava and their customer service team was clearly human and helpful.”
