Can the Moloa be worn outside?

Yes. It has a durable rubber outsole, so it handles driveways, patios and short errands. The fabric upper is not water-resistant, so keep it out of wet grass and rain.

What does the collapsible heel do?

It lets you wear the slipper as a backless slide by stepping on the heel, or pull the heel up for a more secure fit. It is the same shoe either way.

It is a slip-on with elastic side panels, so it goes on without laces. OluKai footwear generally runs true to size; if you are between sizes or have a wide foot, consider sizing up.

How does the Moloa compare with OluKai's sandals?

The Moloa is a closed fabric slipper for cooler, drier days. OluKai's 'Ohana sandal is water-resistant and open, so it suits beach and wet wear that the Moloa does not.

Is it a house slipper or an outdoor shoe?

Both, within limits. The cushioned footbed and soft lining suit indoor wear, and the rubber outsole allows light outdoor use. It is not built for hiking or wet conditions.
