Walking Shoes

Water and stain-resistant mesh are among the performance features of OluKai’s Ka’anapali lightweight golf shoes, while leather details add style, $150. The footbed is inspired by the feeling of bare feet in wet sand, and a unique feature is the drop-in heel, which transforms the shoe into a slip-in for ease after playing a round.
