Which is better for plantar fasciitis?

The Ohana. It is sold as a plantar fasciitis shoe with arch support and stability. The Tuahine has a cushioned footbed but makes no orthopedic claim.

The Tuahine's waterproof full-grain leather is the more durable upper. The Ohana's leather and nylon upper is lighter but less resistant to heavy wet use.

Is the Tuahine worth the extra money?

Only if you want waterproof leather and a dressier men's sandal. At $98.95 at Walmart as of November 8, 2026, it costs about $51 more than the Ohana at $47.70 at ShopSimon, and it offers less arch support.

Can I wear either one in water?

Yes. The Ohana is water-friendly and water-resistant, and the Tuahine uses waterproof full-grain leather. Rinse both after salt water.

Are these the same brand?

Yes, both are OluKai. The Ohana is a women's thong sandal; the Tuahine is a men's leather sandal.

Which has better reviews?

The Ohana rates slightly higher, 4.8 out of 5 from 5,200 ratings versus 4.7 out of 5 from 1,241 ratings for the Tuahine.

Olukai Women's Ohana vs OluKai Tuahine Men's Sandal

The Ohana is the better pick for most shoppers: it costs about half as much and is built for plantar fasciitis support. The Tuahine is a men's sandal with waterproof full-grain leather and a dressier look, but at $98.95 at Walmart as of November 8, 2026 versus $47.70 at ShopSimon for the Ohana, you pay a premium for materials, not for more support. Buy the Ohana for arch support and value; buy the Tuahine if you want a leather sandal that handles water and looks sharper.

Today the Olukai Women's Ohana costs $51.25 less at its best price.
