OluKai Pehuea Leather review

Who should buy the OluKai Pehuea Leather

The OluKai Pehuea Leather is designed for women looking to amp up their collection of walking shoes. Its upper design delivers a luxurious vibe that turns boring outfits into the next fashion hit. It is a solid option if: 

• A shoe that could alleviate discomfort associated with plantar fasciitis is what you need. 
• Daily errands require you to change footwear every so often that footwear quick to wear and remove is what you prefer. 
• You are looking for an all-in-one walking companion suitable for neighborhood walks, running errands, and traveling.
• You want footwear that could go well with various types of clothing like jeans, leggings, shorts, and even dresses. 

Enhanced outsole traction

Rubber lines the underside of the OluKai Pehuea Leather. This compound features a Polynesian print for the tread pattern.

Not only do they make the bottom more interesting to look at, but they also enhance the grip of the rubber.

Firm yet flexible footbed

This OluKai walking shoe uses a removable footbed for underfoot protection. It is made of a dual-density polyurethane (PU) foam that is flexible at the front, but firm under the heel.

This construction allows it to support natural foot motions and promote steadiness at the rearfoot.

The insole is anatomically shaped. It allows the foot to rest comfortably as the arch is given adequate support.

The OluKai Peheua Leather's upper

Depending on the colorway, the OluKai Peheua Leather either uses smooth full-grain leather or suede with embossed design. Regardless of the color, the interior is lined with microfiber, which aids in moisture and temperature control.

Quick wear action

The slip-on style of this walking shoe makes it quick to remove and put on. There are gore panels on either side of the camp that allows it to adjust as the foot comes in or out. 

They return to normal to keep the foot locked inside. The gores are reinforced with leather tabs.

Like the original Pehuea, this iteration also uses the brand’s Drop-In Heel design. This patented feature allows the slip-on to turn into a slider by merely folding the back panel. It amplifies the laid-back vibes of the trainer.
