Best OluKai shoes and sandals

Top pick: the ‘Ohana sandal. It's the one OluKai most people should start with — a water-friendly thong with a soft nylon toe post and quick-drying jersey lining, so it works at the beach, the pool and the shower block, and it's the highest-rated of the bunch.

Who the others suit:

• Ohana (women's) — same easy everyday flip-flop, cut for women.
• Tuahine — waterproof full-grain leather, so it looks smarter than a beach sandal but still shrugs off water.
• Nohea Slipper — shearling-lined warmth for cold floors and cabin mornings.
• Pehuea Lī — a breathable mesh sneaker with the Drop-In Heel for slipping on and off.
• Ōlelo leather slide — medium-firm arch support and a leather-wrapped footbed for all-day wear.
• Mānoa boot — the wet-weather, walk-the-dog option.

If you want one pair for everything, take the ‘Ohana; if you want one that dresses up, take the Tuahine.
