Upscale slippers and beach footwear are a no brainer when it comes to the casual look for men in their 50s. Whether on a tropical vacation or for every day use, you need a pair of well designed, comfortable and stylish sandals. OluKai might be one of the top brands we've tested that have not only lasted over the years, but have offered a variety of styles and colors that we have just come to love. Founded in 2006 by Hawaii born Bill Worthington and his partner, OluKai has changed the landscape for comfortable yet stylish footwear for both men and women.

OluKai footwear connects their customers to the Hawaiian culture with their classic fish hook icon embedded in all their products. Some styles have beautifully laid out Polynesian tribal designs which add to the island feel and look. All of their footwear, which ranges from sandals to boots, have a comfortable custom foot cradeling effect from toe to heel. Many of their products are waterproof and have the latest in quick dry material that is a must for water activities.

The staff at Airstank have been loyal customers of OluKai sandals for years. Pictured to the right are our latest purchases. I myself am on my fifth pair of the "Ohana" men's sandal. I've worn the shit out of these and have used them while at the beach, around the pool and for everyday use in town. Ok do these sandals last forever? Of course not. But their one year money back guarantee for any type of manufacturer defect only backs their commitment to quality! Over time I've noticed some minor fading and have had some material issues with the strap between the big and middle toe. But mind you, this has been due to heavy usage. I must say that they clean up fairly with a sink full of water. (Not recommended for the leather models!)

Bottom line is OluKai has earned our top pick for upscale, Hawaiian cultured sandals that is a must have for your casual wardrobe inventory. They have an all around great product that will definitely refine your look! Check them out at OluKai.com
