As an American made shoe, we take pride in creating a shoe that is durable. Each shoe is made with a strong, patented plastic blend that is machine washable and dishwasher safe. The majority of shoes sold in the United States aren’t recyclable, and most that claim to be are really just shoe redistribution programs. At Oka-B, we believe in closed-loop recycling to reduce the use of virgin material and to keep old shoes from ending up in a landfill. The average pair of Oka-B sandals made this year contain 15-25% recycled material. This style makes a ferocious fall fashion statement.
