OluKai 🩴
OluKai brings premium Hawaiian-inspired footwear to Disney Springs with sandals, flip-flops, slides, slippers, sneakers, and casual shoes designed around comfort, craftsmanship, and an island lifestyle. Located in The Landing in the former Sanuk space, the store opened as
OluKai’s first East Coast retail location and gives Disney Springs another warm-weather footwear option with a much more supportive feel than a basic flat flip-flop. The brand is especially known for contoured footbeds, water-friendly styles, and leather sandals that can transition easily from resort days to everyday wear.
Experience ✨
Shopping at OluKai is really about finding the right footbed and level of support, because the differences between styles go well beyond color and strap design. Guests can compare water-friendly sandals, premium leather flip-flops, slides, sneakers, and slippers while getting a better sense of how each one feels underfoot. Disney promotes the footwear as comfortable enough for all-day wear with little or no break-in time, and trying several pairs in person is especially helpful because some styles feel noticeably more structured than others.
Atmosphere 🌺
The Disney Springs store has a calm, coastal atmosphere inspired by the connection between Florida and Hawai‘i. OluKai designed the location around a “Connected Through
Water” concept, using white oak, polished concrete, brass accents, coral tile, grasscloth, stained wood, and custom artwork to create a relaxed but premium setting. The result feels more like an island lifestyle boutique than a typical shoe store, with the design adding personality without distracting from the footwear.

Price Tier: $$$$
OluKai fits best into the $$$$ category because most of its signature sandals are priced above $76. Basic water-friendly styles generally begin around $75 to $80, while supportive slides and leather sandals commonly fall between $90 and $120, and premium leather designs can reach about $140. The pricing is much higher than a standard beach flip-flop, but the brand is positioning these as supportive everyday footwear rather than inexpensive vacation sandals.
Tips 💡
🩴 Try several footbeds because support and cushioning vary between styles
🌊 Ask about water-friendly options if you want shoes for the pool or beach
✨ Compare leather and synthetic styles because they feel very different
👣 Walk around the store before deciding rather than judging fit while standing still
👟 Check the sneakers if you like the OluKai support but want closed-toe footwear
🧳 Think about how you will use the shoes after vacation since the higher price makes more sense for regular wear
The Good
Strong arch support
Premium sandal construction
Excellent Florida footwear selection
Water-friendly options available
Leather and casual styles offered
Comfort is a major focus
The Not-So-Good
Most sandals are expensive
Even basic styles are around $75 to $80
Premium leather pairs can reach $140
Fit varies noticeably between footbeds
Not every sandal will work for long theme park days
Much higher priced than basic flip-flop brands
Final Thoughts 🌟
OluKai is one of the better Disney Springs stops for shoppers who spend a lot of time in sandals but want something more supportive than a simple flat flip-flop. The prices are definitely premium, but the contoured footbeds, water-friendly options, leather styles, and broader casual footwear selection make the store feel substantially different from Havaianas. If comfort matters as much as appearance, trying several pairs in person at The Landing is well worth it.
