Is the Kakaha Mesh good for walking all day?

It is fine for light errands and casual wear. Several owners say the cushioning is thin for long days on hard pavement, so it is not the best pick for all-day walking.

How does it fit compared with other OluKai shoes?

Feedback is mixed. Some buyers take their usual OluKai size, while others say it runs loose or off and prefer to size down or try it on first.

Can the footbed be removed and washed?

Yes. The polyurethane footbed is removable and washable, which helps with odor and sand after beach or travel use.

Is it good for wet surfaces?

The Wet Grip Rubber outsole is designed for traction on slick surfaces, and owners report it grips well on wet ground. It is not a waterproof shoe, though.

The box contains the pair of OluKai Kakaha Mesh shoes. The removable footbed comes fitted in the shoe.

Does it work without socks?

Many wear it barefoot thanks to the cotton lining and washable footbed. If you sweat a lot, the mesh upper dries quickly but can hold odor, so wash the footbed regularly.
