Reply to comment by Plastic-Indication-6 in Love my Olakais. Bought these in 2015 and have worn them every day since. Despite the holes they are incredibly comfortable. I decided to upgrade to Leather. by Accomplished_Alarm_1

What wore out on them?

It was the weirdest thing, the leather footbed eventually broke in this way that they became too slippery to wear without my feet sliding around in them. Very annoying and pretty dangerous if you were in uneven ground. I was in a very dry and arid climate most of the time, if that makes a difference. Best looking flip flops I ever had though and I would buy them again.

My rainbows have similar ish issues but I also abuse them in water without caring too much. But that’s just leather

If you ever come across that situation again, you could most likely just get some leather cleaner (like saddle soap) and it would fix that up.

My stitching around the outside always comes loose. I have had 2 pairs just like the leather ones you bought. The stitching always comes loose.
