OluKai Eleu Trainer review

Who should buy the OluKai Eleu Trainer

A walking shoe designed for people who enjoy the water and other outdoor activities, the OluKai Eleu Trainer boasts of its ability to protect the feet against sharp rocks, prevent slippage, and reliable grip. It might benefit you if:

• A walking companion that provides wearers with surefootedness on wet rocks, grass, muddy trails, and indoor floors is what you are after. 
• Daily chores require you to be on your feet for extended periods that a shoe comfy enough for several hours of wear is what you need. 
• Everyday activities require you to change footgear every once in a while that a shoe quick to put on and put off is what you prefer. 

Anti-slippage grip

The bottom of the OluKai Eleu Trainer uses sticky rubber. This layer allows it to deliver maximum grip even on wet conditions.

Meanwhile, the lugs on the outsole prevent slippage on trails. They also help with forefoot flexibility and dexterity of the toes while traversing tricky mountain trails.

Shock-absorbent midsole

Atop the outsole of the Eleu Trainer is a layer of compression-molded EVA foam. This type of foam aids in dulling the impact of each step.

Generous footbed cushioning

Inside the footgear is a dual-density EVA footbed. It is shaped to follow the shape of the underfoot to provide maximum support and coverage.

Because this pair of OluKai walking shoes are engineered to handle wet environments, the insert is hydrophobic, which means it repels water. Perforations are also abundant on the foam insole to help drain water and keep the weight of the trainer at a minimum.

The footbed is also removable, so you have the option to use your custom orthotics if you need them. This layer is also washable, allowing you to maintain good foot hygiene.

The OluKai Eleu Trainer's upper

The top of the OluKai Eleu Trainer uses a combination of open mesh and ballistic nylon. The mesh element promotes aeration and water drainage.

Meanwhile, the synthetic component serves as the exoskeleton of the trainer, maintaining the structure of the top, and providing support for agile movements.

This footwear employs a gusseted tongue. By attaching the sides of the tongue to the quarters of the shoes, it ensures that debris will not get inside the shoe to cause discomfort.

Snug lacing system

Because of the tongue construction, wearers can simply slip this footgear on or off. However, if they need to tighten the fit, they can do so using the quick-lace mechanism. Just press on the toggle to adjust, then release it to lock in the fit.
