Is the Tuahine good for wide feet?

The contoured footbed runs fairly true to size and suits medium to slightly wide feet. People with very wide feet often size up, since the leather straps have limited adjustment.

Can you wear the Tuahine in water?

Yes. The leather is waterproof and the Wet Grip Rubber outsole is made for wet surfaces. Rinse with fresh water after salt exposure and let them air dry away from direct sun.

How does it compare with the OluKai Ohana?

The Ohana uses synthetic straps and a lighter build, while the Tuahine steps up to full-grain leather and a dressier look. Both share the contoured footbed and wet-grip outsole.

Do the Tuahine sandals need breaking in?

Expect a short break-in. The leather straps soften within a week or two of regular wear. Conditioning the leather helps speed it up.

What is the sole made of?

A non-marking Wet Grip Rubber outsole over an anatomically contoured footbed. It grips wet decks and tile without scuffing.

Are they good for walking all day?

Yes for town, beach and boardwalk use. The arch support is the standout. For long hikes or heavy trail use, a lighter sandal with a more aggressive tread is a better fit.
