Our take on the Kīpī - Black

The OluKai Kīpī is a water-ready sandal built with input from Hawaiian lifeguards and approved by the Hawaiian Lifeguard Association. It pairs quick-drying synthetic straps with a soft jersey knit lining, a compression-molded EVA midsole and a sipped, lugged Wet Grip Rubber outsole for traction on wet or dry ground. It suits beachgoers, boaters and anyone who moves between water and pavement. Against casual flip-flops it adds real outsole grip and a contoured footbed; against technical water shoes it stays open, simple and easy to rinse. Owners rate it highly, with most praise going to comfort and grip and the main complaints about fit and strap rub.

Questions and answers

Is the Kīpī good for the beach and water?
Yes. It was designed with Hawaiian lifeguards, has quick-drying straps and a Wet Grip Rubber outsole made for wet and dry terrain.
How does the Kīpī compare with a basic flip-flop?
It adds a contoured EVA midsole, a lined strap and a sipped, lugged rubber outsole, so it grips and supports more than a flat rubber flip-flop.
Does the Kīpī run true to size?
Most owners find it true to size, but some say it runs narrow or short, so shoppers between sizes may want to size up.
Can I wear the Kīpī for long walks?
It handles everyday walking and beach days well, but it is an open sandal with limited arch support, so it is not a substitute for a walking shoe on long paved routes.
How do I care for the Kīpī?
Rinse it with fresh water after salt or sand exposure and let it air dry; the synthetic straps and knit lining are made to dry quickly.
Where is the Kīpī - Black cheapest?
At OluKai, for $80.00, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the Kīpī - Black?
