- Is the Kawela actually waterproof?
- Yes. The upper is a waterproof mesh and leather construction, so it handles wet grass and light rain. It is not a Gore-Tex bootie, so standing water and deep puddles can still get in.
- Can I wear it off the course?
- Yes. The spikeless rubber outsole is designed to work as a casual shoe, so it is fine for the clubhouse, the car and errands after your round.
- How does it compare with a traditional spiked golf shoe?
- It is lighter and more cushioned, and easier to walk in. A spiked shoe gives more grip and lateral stability, especially in soft or wet conditions and for faster swings.
- Does it fit true to size?
- The Kawela is built on OluKai's women's last and generally fits true to size. If you wear a wide shoe or thick socks, consider going up a half size.
- What kind of insole does it have?
- A polyurethane insole over a Cloudfoam and polyurethane midsole. That combination gives a soft, springy feel underfoot rather than a firm, board-like ride.
- Is it good for walking 18 holes?
- Yes. The light build and cushioned midsole are made for walking. Players who want maximum stability may prefer a firmer shoe.
