Review: I thought these were too expensive, man, I was wrong. - I finally ordered these sandals after forever having them in my cart. I am just really cheap about buying certain things. I have gone through about five pair of sandals in the last few years; they break, they wear, they become uncomfortable, whatever. The only pair of sandals that have lasted (actually for about 13 years now) is this cheap rubber pair someone lost at Hanalei bay, Kaua'i. At least I thought the found sandals were cheap, but man they have outlasted some other pricey sandals. Anyway, I have been looking for a nicer pair to kind of class up my act. I came across the Olukai brand at a shop and looked them up on desertcart. These are some smart-looking sandals. I love the look of these, so I sat on the $130 price tag, and sat, and sat. Then, just the other day, I must have been in a buying mood, I bought these. Almost all I can say is "OMG". I generally don't like toe thongs, but these aren't too bad (actually easy for me to get used to). I wore them for an hour or so to check them out. When I took them off, the floor felt funny beneath my feet; Felt like I was tipping. Having figured out what was happening, I found it to be the sandal design, and not because I ate some fermented beverage. The heel of the sandal tip me slightly forward, while the sides are built to tip you slightly toward your insole. The feeling is delicious. It is almost as if these sandals are helping me walk with a better gait. I wear a size 10.5 (in Nike) to size 10.5D to 11D ( in cowboy boots) and bought these in a size 11. Whatever the case, these sandals look great, feel great, are made of super quality material, are very sturdy, and are well worth me cashing in my coins to pay a little extra for some quality footwear. I LOVE these, and will keep working on getting use to the toe thong until I don't feel it anymore. I highly recommend this brand...and these particular sandals. Review: Buy a size bigger than you wear - I’m going to start with five stars and come back to edit later. I just received these sandals/flip-flops yesterday (8/24/2025). For perspective, I’ve been looking at these for months, and for a couple reasons. First, I’m trying to reduce the fake/plastic/toxic from my life, and having my feet touching leather instead of whatever the foam is made of on my current flops seems like a good step (pun intended) towards that end. Second, I have a high arch and would like that supported better. I read a good deal about these, including many of the reviews here. As this is an extremely high price for a pair of flip-flops, I felt I should research as much as possible before buying. The two things I was most concerned about after reading were the fit and longevity. As for the fit, here’s my experience: buy a size to a size and a half bigger than what you are accustomed to. If I have shoes that are wide enough (my Toms are) then a 10.5 wide or extra wide fit great. Most are not, so I usually get an 11 and realize it’ll be couple months before they are broken in. With these I bought a size 12, thinking they would be about right based on all the reviews. Well, the footbed is about right and the arch support is almost as high as I’d like. The strap is what I’d expect, even though it feels too tight. The “cushion” is almost non existent. But I’ve been wearing these foam ones for years. I suspect, being leather, that there’s a break-in period. And so I plan on coming back in a couple months to give an update. For now, they look great and feel like good quality. ## Features - Full grain antiqued leather upper - Compression-molded EVA midsole - Full grain leather wrapped outsole with non-marking molded gum rubber traction pods - 10138 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00L1RBGRM | | ASIN | B0GMKH86TC | | Best Sellers Rank | #34,623 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #102 in Men's Sandals | | Brand Name | OLUKAI | | Closure Type | Slip On | | Color | Tan/Dark Java | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (3,403) | | Date First Available | January 28, 2025 | | Department | mens | | Embellishment Feature | flip flop | | Fit to Size Sentiment | Poor | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00883956157321 | | Heel Type | No Heel | | Insole Material | Faux Leather | | Item Type Name | Flip-Flop | | Item Weight | 6.4 ounces | | Lifestyle | Casual | | Manufacturer | Olukai | | Manufacturer | OluKai | | Manufacturer Part Number | 10138 3448 12 | | Material Fabric | Leather | | Model Name | Mea Ola | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occasion | Casual | | Outer Material | Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) | | Package Dimensions | 13.66 x 12.64 x 3.5 inches; 1.65 Pounds | | Pattern | solid | | Platform Height | 2.5 Inches | | Recommended Uses For Product | Beach and water-related activities | | Sandal Type | Flip Flop | | Sole Material | Ethylene Vinyl Acetate, Leather, Rubber | | Special Features | Lightweight | | Strap Type | Thong | | Style Name | Flip Flop | | Style Number | 10138-3448-12 | | Target Audience | Men | | Toe Style | Open Toe | | UPC | 883956157321 | | Unit Count | 1.00 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | | lining-description | Leather | ## Images ![Mea Ola Men's Leather Beach Sandals, Soft & Durable Flip Flops, Arch Support & Comfort Fit, Enhanced Grip & Traction - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819NoRdZ7CL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I thought these were too expensive, man, I was wrong. *by F***O on August 8, 2023* I finally ordered these sandals after forever having them in my cart.

I normally wear a 8-1/2 so I ordered a 9 since they don’t offer 1/2 sizes . The end of the shoe was even with the back of my heel . So I opted to send them back and get a size 10 . No the back is about a 1/2 inch past my heel and feel much more comfortable . I love the fit . They seem to wear well without any slipping or sliding . However, I’ve only worn them in a dry environment . I think overall once I get them broken in I will like them even more . ## Frequently Bought Together - OLUKAI MEA Ola Men's Sandal - OluKai Tuahine Men's Beach Sandals, Quick Dry Flip-Flop Slides, Waterproof Full-Grain Leather & Wet Grip Soles, Soft Comfort Fit & Arch Support - OLUKAI Men's Moku Pae Boat Shoe --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/17206617-mea-ola-mens-leather-beach-sandals-soft-and-durable-flip](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/17206617-mea-ola-mens-leather-beach-sandals-soft-and-durable-flip) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
