The Perfect Men's Slipper/Sandal/Flip-Flop in Hawaii NOT SPONSORED

Показать описание

So let’s talk slippers in Hawaii. While the rest of the world calls them flip flops, in Hawaii, we call them slippers. My slippers are getting worn down and rather than just buy the same thing, I thought I’d shop around and bring you along as I test out different brands to find what I think would be perfect slipper in Hawaii. This video is part discovery and part review of the best men's slipper/flip flop/sandal for me.

And when I talk about the perfect slipper for Hawaii, I'm talking about something you can wear everyday that is versatile. I need to be able to walk in it on the sidewalk, but also walk in the sand and in some wet situations.

This video is not sponsored.

And yes, I spent over $200 to try to figure out the perfect Hawaii slipper. Hope you enjoy the video. Below are links to the slippers I tried. The links are not affiliate links since I bought all of the slippers myself.

If you have recommendations for good slippers, please let me know. Always on the lookout for a good all-day slipper. 🤙

Aloha! Just stumbled across your slipper review and wanted to say mahalo! We're stoked that you loved your OluKai slippahs and that they made you feel happy. We do have a 1 year product guarantee on all of our products too!

OluKai

Olukai all the way. I thought I lost my mind dropping $50 at the NEX, but I have flat feet and normally can’t wear slippers for extended walks. When I put the Ho‘opio Olukais on for the first time, it was more comfortable than any other slippers I have ever worn. I was also able to convince myself that they were “nice” enough to wear practically everywhere.

For me It's Islander slippers from the Philippines as it can last longer than any other brand. It's so versatile, you can use it on land, beaches, cracked surfaces and even climb trees with it.

Olukais are the way to go. Wore reefs for 20 years and bought a pair of Olukais 2 years ago. Nvr buy anything else again. The leather is durable, arch support is great and with the bottom pads you don’t get that suction affect when waking on wet surfaces. That feeling you get is from being different, not bc you spent the money but bc others think it’s silly to spend $100+.

I switched to OluKai slippers a while back, and man, are my feet happy that I did. I need a lot of support, plus I have wide feet, and no other slippers I've tried do me right like my OluKais. I'm in a pair all day, every day (I work from home), and the foot pain I used to get after walking around in other slippers is totally gone. They're pricey, no doubt, but worth the money for me.

We call them ‘slippers’ in sunny 🇸🇬 too! From the $4 (squeaky) to $10 (firm wear), and now $28 (cushiony, ribbed sole for comfort & running errands in) 🙋🏻‍♀️

Great video! I think the Olukai is a perfect choice. But yes, wear the cheap one to the beach. Thanks!
All your videos are fabulous! We can't wait to move to Hawaii!

I totally understand and totally agree with you that a more expensive comfortable shoe feels good and makes you feel good about yourself 😂😂😂😂😂. I know it sounds so shallow. My father taught me to always buy one good pair of shoes than several cheap pairs of shoes. I’ve been doing my due diligence and investigation in buying new slippers and I think I’m going for the Olakai slippers. Thank you for your transparency and honesty.

I was looking forward to picking up a pair of Scott’s during my trip to Hawaii but it doesn’t look like they sell them at Walmart anymore. I need the rubber cross textured top surface to grip the bottom of my foot because I walk in water a lot. I had a pair of Tevas like that but they don’t make them anymore.

Another leather slipper I’d recommend are the Rainbows made in Southern California. I really like them a lot when I’m doing non-water activities.

For anyone looking at Olukais. I got a pair in 2013 and wore them every warm day for the last 10 years. I just went in the closet to get them and the toe part FINALLY broke. 10 years!!! I’m ordering new one asap!

Aloha from So. CA 🤙 I used to love to where sandals “slippers” & I had a few pair but my feet would hurt after a while, I went to a podiatrist & learned that I have high arches so I need arch support footwear. The sandals that I wear now are so comfortable that I wore out the label so I will let you know what they are called as soon as I find out. Find the best shoes, sandals or “slippers” for your feet. Taking care of your feet is so important. Have a beautiful night.

I use to buy the $20 dollar sandals all the time, then i bought some $40 dollar sandals that felt good. I was told to try OluKais by a good friend of mine and i couldn't justify the cost. So i said what the heck ill try them. I paid $85 for them and don't regret them one bit. I even bought a pair that was all leather for $100 and are also great. Olukais nailed everything you can want and need on sandals and are amazing. Highly recommend them

I’ve been wearing Olukais for several years. When I developed plantar fasciitis, they were the only footwear that gave me the support and comfort I needed to heal. Now that it’s gone, I still wear them because they feel so good. I’m in Oregon but I only wear shoes or boots if the weather demands it.

I like my rainbows. Very comfortable for me

anilia

I went with Oofos
I went through 2 different pair …comfortable for me …. Might be the way I walk . I walk a lot; several miles at a time … I wore a hole in each pair the slipper

OluKai are "dress" slippers. You can wear them to Merriman's with your Tori Richards aloha shirt. Island Slippers makes suede slippers for $115, $150 here in Tokyo. I usually wear Locals for all the reasons stated, and they fit perfectly, flush with my toes and heel. The only problem is wet floors when it rains, which can be deadly in supermarkets.

Thanks!
I just got a pair of OluKai Tuahine from S. Tokunaga store in Hilo. I wear a size 9 too. Feels awesome! 🤙😎

Interesting review. Thanks for the info. I still have a pair of ?? I bought at HIC before I left Hawaii 30 years ago. They don't get much wear here in WA. Too wet, too cold, too whatever. I first changed to Birkenstocks which really worked well with wool socks, even in the snow. Then I got old and started throwing them off as I walked. LOL But....I am ready to buy a new pair of slippahs which I do wear occasionally. I wear Hoka One's for running and walking but I doubt I'd enjoy the "recovery" slippers. As for the OluKais, it's just like wearing dress shoes instead of sneakers. You feel more dressed up and special. So don't apologize for how you feel. I hope that feeling never goes away. Aloha.

I've never paid attention to the brand of slippers before, a really in depth review.
