Our take on the OluKai Papaku 'Ili Tan/Tan Men's Boots Tan

The OluKai Papaku 'Ili is a waterproof leather ankle boot built for wet, cool weather. A nubuck and leather upper sits over a cork and textile insole and a rubber and synthetic outsole, with a laced closure and a removable insole for a custom fit. It suits men who want a clean, casual boot that handles rain and slush without looking like technical gear. Against leather fashion boots it wins on waterproofing; against hiking boots it gives up ankle support and aggressive tread.

Questions and answers

Are the Papaku 'Ili boots fully waterproof?
Yes. OluKai builds them with a waterproof leather and nubuck upper and a sealed construction, so rain and puddles stay out. They are not designed for standing in deep water.
How do they fit compared with other OluKai shoes?
They run true to size for most men, with a normal D width. The removable cork and textile insole lets you swap in your own footbed if you need more room.
Can I wear them in snow?
They handle slush and light snow, but the outsole is a casual rubber and synthetic tread, not a winter lug. For deep snow or ice, a dedicated winter boot is better.
Do they need break-in?
Expect a few days of stiffness in the leather. After that the upper softens and the cork insole molds to your foot.
How should I care for the leather?
Wipe off salt and mud, let them air dry away from direct heat, and condition the leather regularly to keep the waterproof finish working.
What is in the box?
One pair of boots with the cork and textile insoles fitted. No extra laces or care kit are included.
Where is the OluKai Papaku 'Ili Tan/Tan Men's Boots Tan cheapest?
At Scheels, for $128.00, 20% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
