When I was looking for sandals to take to Burma in 2009 I found OluKai flip flops at a local store. In trying them on they struck me as the most comfortable sandals I’d ever worn. They have excellent arch support and are well-cushioned. I bought two pairs, one of the
Ohana style and one of the leather-covered
Kumu. I wore the Ohanas all over Burma, and took them along to India in 2010. I wear the Kumos here at home when I need a flip flop that is slightly dressier.

I recently convinced Cheryl that she needed some of these fabulous flip flops as well, and we both ordered a pair of the Ohana for our upcoming return to Burma. After looking all over the web, we chose to order from The Walking Company, as we could return them locally if they weren’t exactly what we wanted.

The Ohana come in a nice variety of colors. I ordered Electric Blue and Cheryl ordered Dark Java. They came in a week and they feel great!

The flip flops I’ve been wearing all this time are Teva’s and they are just basic black that go with anything and are comfortable enough to walk a fair distance in. Since buying these it seems like all I can find are sissy women’s flowery flip flops without the same durability as I’ve had with these.

Since these flip flops have definitely seen better days, I had to find a pair to replace them. Thankfully, I found these flip flops from Merrell. Since I’ve been wearing Merrell’s for years I really trust this brand and thankfully they make a flip flop (or thong as they prefer to call it) for women that are sturdy and functional. For men, I found a nice pair of Montrail flip flops, another brand I own and trust. And for a nicer pair to wear to the restaurant at night, I found these wonderful Keen flip flops. I’m ready for Honolulu now!
