For standing all day
The underside of the OluKai Nohea Slipper is equipped with a gum rubber outsole. The compound features a buffed finish that not only delivers some rustic vibes but also enhances the grip. It is also non-marking, so no need to worry about scuffing your wood or tiled floors.
Flexible and stabilized platform
Inside the Nohea Slipper is a removable polyurethane (PU) footbed. Its dual-density foam is flexible at the forefoot and denser at the heel. It also has a gel insert in the arch area that renders more structure and support.
The insole follows the natural contours of the underfoot, and it delivers maximum comfort. The top is covered with soft wool blend fabric, which adds to the cozy feel. If the insert starts to get dirty, or smelly, you can simply throw it in the wash to clean them.
The OluKai Nohea Slipper's top
A soft nubuck leather makes up the top of the OluKai Nohea Slipper. This material repels water, but unlike waxed nubuck, water stains can be visible. You need to air-dry it to return it to its original condition.
Embroidery for beauty
Hand-sewn whipstitching is used on the toe and rearfoot sections. They amplify the style and strengthen the seams. There is also embroidery on the upper, adding to the aesthetics of the shoe.

The interlining of this OluKai walking shoe uses genuine sheepskin shearling. The wool inside the footwear helps with insulation, keeping the feet warm during cold weather.
Quick slip-on style
The Nohea Slipper employs a slip-on silhouette. The gore panels on either side of the vamp allow smooth on-and-off while also securing the foot when they return to their standard length.
This model also features the Drop-In Heel. This patented design allows owners to transform the look of the product into a slider. The way the back panel connects to the quarters enables it to drop to the footbed and be lifted up without damaging it.
