Nice But Not Up To Other Olukai Sandals

I own a few pairs of Olukai sandals and they are generally very stylish and comfortable. This model lives up to that standard overall; however, they are probably a step below comparable Olukai models like the Mea Ola, for instance. The leather is more of a finished smooth type as opposed to the full grain leather on other models. Also, the sole is a composite as opposed to a combination of leather and rubber pads on other models. The toe strap on this model is a soft cloth as opposed to leather, as on other Olukai models. Some might prefer the cloth strap as it is a little softer, although the leather ones soften up as they're worn and are probably more durable. It might be a matter of personal taste, but for the exact same price you can get a leather wrapped sole, leather toe strap and maybe a little more comfort from the rubber pads on the other models. My advice is to compare this style to others and determine which you prefer.
