Olukai Tuahine Mens Sandal
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for All-Day Wear, From Shore to Street
The OluKai Tuahine is the all-day leather sandal that earns its place whether you're heading to the water, running errands, or sitting down to dinner. Waterproof, full-grain leather and thoughtful construction inspired by the winds of Hawai'i make it as versatile as any footwear in your rotation.
Upper Construction
The Tuahine's upper is crafted from premium, waterproof full-grain leather that resists moisture and develops character with wear. A soft stretch mesh lining keeps the interior breathable and comfortable against bare skin. A nylon toe post completes the fit, delivering the secure hold of a traditional thong sandal without the break-in stiffness common to all-leather designs.
Footbed and Cushioning
Where the Tuahine separates itself from ordinary leather flip flops is underfoot. An anatomically shaped, compression-molded EVA midsole is contoured to mirror the natural shape of the foot, providing genuine arch support and cushioning that holds up across long days. A premium full-grain leather top cover adds a soft, refined feel directly against the foot.
Outsole Traction
The non-marking Wet Grip Rubber outsole is engineered for mixed surfaces. Its breeze block lug pattern channels water and delivers reliable grip on wet decks, tile, and pavement alike, so the Tuahine handles the transition from beach to restaurant without hesitation.
The OluKai Philosophy
OluKai builds each pair with quality materials and handcrafted details rooted in island culture. The brand's Anywhere Aloha Campaign is a statement that the spirit of Aloha is not confined to geography. Every Tuahine carries that philosophy: ocean heritage expressed through modern performance construction that travels well beyond the coast.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the OluKai Tuahine a flip flop or a sandal?
- The Tuahine is a thong-style men's sandal, sometimes called a flip flop. It features a leather upper strap, nylon toe post, and a sculpted EVA footbed with leather cover, making it a more supportive and refined take on the classic flip flop silhouette.
- How does the OluKai Tuahine compare to the OluKai Ohana?
- Both are OluKai thong sandals, but the Tuahine is distinguished by its waterproof full-grain leather upper and leather-covered footbed, giving it a more elevated look and feel. The Ohana typically uses synthetic materials and is positioned as a more casual, everyday option. The Tuahine is the leather upgrade within the OluKai lineup.
- Is the OluKai Tuahine waterproof?
- Yes. The Tuahine's upper is crafted from waterproof, full-grain leather, making it suitable for wet environments. The non-marking Wet Grip Rubber outsole also provides traction on wet surfaces.
- What is the Tuahine footbed made of?
- The footbed is an anatomically shaped, compression-molded EVA midsole topped with a premium full-grain leather cover. The contoured shape provides arch support and cushioning designed for extended wear.
- How should I care for the OluKai Tuahine leather sandal?
- Because the Tuahine uses full-grain leather, occasional conditioning with a leather-compatible product will keep the upper supple and extend its life. Allow the sandal to air-dry naturally if wet. Avoid prolonged direct heat such as a car dashboard, which can dry out and crack leather over time.
