Does the OluKai Kulapa Kai run true to size?

Many owners say it runs slightly small, so consider going up half a size if you are between sizes. The thong fit should leave a little room at the heel and toe.

Is it good for the beach and water?

Yes. The rubber outsole and water-friendly materials suit beach and pool use. Rinse and dry it after salt water to keep the leather in shape.

How does it compare with other OluKai sandals?

The Kulapa Kai is a slim women's thong with a leather upper. OluKai's sport sandals offer more cushioning and adjustable straps; this one is lighter and dressier.

What colors and sizes are available?

It comes in black and pink, in US women's sizes 6 through 11. Availability varies by size and color.

How should I care for the leather upper?

Wipe it with a damp cloth and let it air dry away from direct heat. Avoid soaking the leather or putting it in a washing machine.
