Olukai Hele Malie Slip Ons

There are few forms of footwear more functional than that of slip-ons but if you want them for anything more adventurous than taking the bin out, you’re going to need to get your hands on a specialised pair. They don’t come much better than these awesome looking Olukai Hele Malie Slip Ons which are both wonderfully robust and comfortable but also considerably more stylish than your average pair of slip on shoes.

The Olukai Hele Malie Slips Ons have a price tag of $130 which, on the face of it, might seem a lot for this type of footwear but when you delve deep into their performance potential and materials used then it begins to make much more sense. These superb slip ons from Olukai are available in two different colourways – Charcoal / Mist and Sand / Tapa – and both have their own unique aesthetic that will tally with different style persuasions.

Robust but comfortable is the order of the day with these Olukai Hele Malie Slip Ons ($130) and they offer an attractive aesthetic to go along with their impressive performance. They are ideally suited to camping adventures and each pair is lined with a thick layer of shearling for a incredibly cozy and soft feeling that you’ll definitely appreciate on those cold mornings when you’re heading outside.

This innovative footwear boasts a patented Drop-In Heel® design for both shoe or slide functionality and a lightweight and extremely supportive single-density poured PU anatomical footbed with a soft microfibre cover that keeps them in the best condition.

The Hawaiian inspired design of these slip ons adds to their appeal considerably and if you’re after a great pair for all your 2020 adventures then you need look no further.
