Is the Southshore actually waterproof?

The straps are waterproof full-grain leather and the outsole is Wet Grip Rubber, so splashes and wet sand are fine. It is a sandal, not a shoe for standing in deep water.

It comes in standard width across women's sizes 5 to 11. Most buyers take their usual size; those between sizes may want to size up for the leather straps.

Can I wear it for long walks?

It is a flat sandal with a soft footbed, fine for errands and beach days. For miles of pavement, some owners find the arch support thin.

Waterproof full-grain leather straps over a soft footbed, with a Wet Grip Rubber outsole. The design is named after the south shore of O'ahu.

Is it worth it against cheaper foam sandals?

You pay for waterproof full-grain leather and a Wet Grip Rubber outsole instead of foam. Owners say it holds up around water and looks dressier; foam rivals are lighter and need no leather care.

How does it compare to the OluKai Ohana?

The Ohana is a synthetic-strap sandal with a slightly thicker, more cushioned sole. The Southshore is the leather option with a flatter profile, so pick it for looks and water-ready leather rather than max cushioning.

About the Olukai Women's Southshore

Women's OluKai® Southshore: The OluKai® Southshore is a women's waterproof leather sandal built for days that move between the beach, the boardwalk, and wherever the morning takes you. The 3-point strap design keeps the sandal secure on your foot while the waterproof full-grain leather straps and nylon toe post hold up to water, sand, and everyday wear without losing their shape or comfort.

The leather top deck and buffed EVA midsole give the Southshore a look and feel that works beyond the shoreline - casual enough for errands, polished enough for lunch. The outsole is made with Wet Grip Rubber for reliable traction on wet surfaces, and the tread pattern draws inspiration from the coffee beans native to Hawai'i, adding a crafted detail that makes the sandal feel considered rather than generic. If you want a sandal that can handle a surf check in the morning and still look good the rest of the day, the Southshore is worth a close look.

Why Our Fit Experts Love This Shoe

I love recommending the Southshore to customers who want a sandal that actually holds up around water. The Wet Grip Rubber outsole is a real feature - it's not just a style sandal. And the leather straps feel substantial, not flimsy. It's the kind of sandal you grab without thinking twice. - Sawyer, Road Runner Sports Fit Expert, Wilmette IL
