I was looking for a new pair of comfort shoes a few weeks ago. I live a very casual lifestyle. Jeans every day.  Clogs all winter. 

I went to a local shoe store that carries Birkenstock, Merrell, Born, etc. and they suggested a pair of Olukai flats. I'd never heard of them. I tried them on and loved them. So comfortable. To be honest, they're not high style, basic loafer type, but they look great with jeans. I wore them for the first time today and they were so comfortable that I came home and ordered a pair in another color. The style I got is Nohea Nubuck. 

Anyone else an Olukai fan?

DH has a pair of flip flops and loves them. Didn't realize that they made shoes.

Never heard of them.  You can go to this site to see what they look like.  A lot of people sell them:

My husband has had a pair of Olukai shoes for a couple of years and loves them.  For his birthday this past spring I ordered him a pair fo flip flops.  He loved them so much and gave them such high marks for comfort I ordered a pair for myself.  That led to me ordering a second pair for myself and a pair for my daughter for her birthday.  They're the most comfortable things I've ever worn (and I own good, comfortable kicks).

Yes,  they seem to be sold all over.   REI carries them.   They look soft and comfortable but absolutely no support in the arch or anywhere else.   I've gotten a ton of cute flats at Zulily.   Almost all well-known brands.   Got a cute pair of Corky's this week.

@Kachina624, I have 2 pair of Olukai flip flops and the arch support is wonderful.

@Its Me LuLuBelle2  Here is the one I was looking at.   I don't see any arch support.

The shoes I bought have arch support. Not a ton certainly, but it's there. I could tell when I put them on and when I feel inside, there's a bump.

It's over on the left, where you see the insole is lifted up a little. Admittedly, there isn't a ton like you'd get from SAS or others like SAS.  I wouldn't want to walk Disney World all day in them, but I did fine in them all day. @Kachina624- this is the style I have, but in black. Imprdered the ones you're showing today.

@Kachina624, those are similar looking to the shoes my husband has - minus the paisley lining!  He, like me, needs the arch support.  I'm wondering if that paisley is "obscuring" the view.  When I gave my daughter her flip flops for her birthday, she was over the moon with the comfort as she was 5 months pregnant and had put on a bit more weight than she wanted to.
