The Olowahu Sandal by Teva is constructed with one of the most comfortable footbeds for a flip-flop, so soft its actually referred to as "squishy".  After a long day of hiking, running after the kids or just cramming your feet into heels for a day at work, the Olowahu offers excellent resting time for your little piggies.
A nice cross over thong has a comfy upper featuring smooth lightweight tubular webbing so you don't get any chafing or irritation.

Features:

  • 7MM of the softest EVA around creates a comfortable footbed that molds to your foot's unique shape
  • Cross over thong upper featuring smooth lightweight tubular webbing
  • Molded rubber and EVA outsoles
  • Shipped in biodegradable bag with PLA hanger
  • Soft Durapontex topsole with enhanced arch support
  • Woven Polyester Webbing

The Teva Women’s Olowahu Sandal holds your foot in place better than your average flip-flop, and its pretty crisscrossing strap design looks much more feminine at the same time. Smooth, lightweight tubular webbing won’t chafe against your skin, and a smooth EVA topsole supports your arch. Wear the Olowahu to the beach or on a smokin’ hot date--where your suitor’s admiration of your sandal will serve as a fine conversation starter.

all flip and no flop

Rating:*****

This flip flop is the best for various reasons. First- it makes your foot look pretty. My feet have been worked and this strappy flip flop packages my hoofs and makes them pleasant to look at. Comfort-duh- no break in blisters between the big toe and its neighbor (the index toe?). Durability- my two pairs have travelled to Hawaii and endured impromptu scrambles on abrasive volcanic rocks. They survived and my feet still looked pretty. Rafting-they work for that as well; the extra straps keep the shoe in place, although I wouldn't recommend this flip flop for days and days on the river. The only drawback- try them on if you have a wide foot. They do not flatter all foot shapes. I have never been Teva fan- their earlier sandals made it look like I had paddles for feet, but this simple flip flop has made me a believer.

Very Comfortable

Rating:*****

I used to work at a bank, and I am still always on my feet. I love slipping on Teva sandals after a long day of work. The material they are made out of truly makes it feel as though I am walking on clouds after a long day of work. I own 4 pair, and my oldest pair are 2 summers old and still look brand new and are still supportive to my feet. I have a low arch, but I am pretty sure they would mold to anyone's feet. I love them and will continue to buy them.

soft and comfy

Rating:*****

the more you wear these, the more comfortable they become. the footbed molds to the shape of your foot, so i've become really attached to mine and how well they hold my foot. also, they're both cuter than normal flip-flops and hold your foot in place better. i wore these all around italy, running after trains and ferries and never once did i have to slow down to fix a shoe.

The best shoes ever

Rating:*****

Gotta love Teva sandals! I have nearly every style and color they make. The Olowahu is great if you are doing a lot of walking or more active type things as the extra straps help hold it tighter to your foot. They are uber comfortable and stylish as well.

They are narrow and run slightly smaller than street shoes, so chose a half-size or size larger than normal when ordering.

Very comfortable

Rating:****

I usually wear the reef sandy flip flops because I love the colors and they are really comfortable. I found these however, to be even more so. I do wish there were some better colors to choose from though. Aside from that they are amazing and I feel better supported in these as opposed to traditional "thong" flip flops...

100% pure awesome

Rating:*****

These shoes have survived 3 years of tough love, and look like the day I bought them (except for the soles, which are sort of over-molded to my feet by now). They are bliss to walk in and I could even run my cool-downs in them after track meets. They fit my slightly narrow foot perfectly.

Teva sandals are great!

Rating:*****

I own at least 10 pairs of Teva flip-flops and (obviously) love them. They are super comfy and don't wear out too quickly. It usually takes a couple of days of wearing them to get them broken in, and then you're good to go. I've even worn these hiking and they've done fine.

Allison D at Backcountry.com on 06/08/2006

cute and comfortable

Rating:****

these shoes are very flattering on my feet and really comfortable, too. i normally wear an 8.5 in street shoes, so i ordered a 9. i would say these run a little narrow since the straps are relatively fitted on my narrow feet. the bottoms are nice and soft...very comfy.

Olowahu

Rating:****

I really like this sandal. Super comfy and cute. I wear them with shorts and skirts. The sole is a bit too soft, I quickly wore down the heel. I have a narrow foot but even my feet feel kinda fat. But I still like 'em!
