We use natural latex in our gum rubbers, 30% recycled material in all our outsoles, and 100% recycled material in our packaging.

We consider making high-quality, long-lasting footwear as one way to reduce our environmental footprint.

The Polynesian culture is an oral history, passed along through storytelling. Naming our products with Hawaiian words is our small way of spreading and preserving the culture for future generations.

Please note: You won't receive both tracking numbers at the same time as they will be dispatched separately, from different locations, which means different dispatch times.
If your order arrives and you're missing one or more items, we recommend double-checking your emails to see if you've received any additional tracking numbers. If not, contact our Aloha Experience Team and we can provide you with tracking updates.

Why are OluKai sandals and shoes so comfortable? plus minus
Itβs a combination of premium materials and contoured shapes that form the structure of OluKai. At the core of all our footwear is our anatomical footbed; a biomechanically engineered shape that supports and positions your entire foot naturally, allowing it to move through the stride comfortably and correctly. Our deep heel contour centers, aligns, and supports the foot.

Insole Replacements
What sets OluKai insoles apart from others on the market? plus minus
It all comes back to our Wet Sand Principle. Every pair of footwear (including slippers) is designed to capture the feeling of a barefoot stepping into wet sand. All at once, it cups the heel, fills the arch, and splays the toesβmolding to the foot regardless of the shape. The cupped heel offers stability and shock absorption. The anatomically correct arch and contoured footbed provide all-day comfort. And the toe box allows the toes to spread naturally with no restrictions.
How do OluKai insoles enhance my comfort while wearing OluKai footwear? plus minus
Our insoles are designed to cradle your feet in lasting comfort. They are anatomically contoured to hug the curves of your feet and provide true arch support. The arch is one of the most important structural elements of your feet. Its shape allows you to bear weight and it absorbs the shock that happens from stomping on the ground over and over. The more supported the arch, the more balanced your entire body becomes. That balance can lead to less hip, knee, and back pain, improved posture, and sustained comfort. Because we construct all of our slippers like fine footwear and incorporate anatomically correct arch support, customers often report pain alleviation.
How do I know which OluKai insoles are right for my shoe? plus minus
Finding the right insole for your shoe is a breeze. Here's a list of our insoles and the styles that they're compatible with. If you're having trouble finding the insole you need, you can always reach out to our Aloha Experience team.
