OKA-B Women's Ryann Sandals

Oka-B, an American-made shoe brand, takes pride in creating durable and sustainable footwear. Each Oka-B shoe is handcrafted with love in Buford, Georgia, using a strong, patented vegan bio-based material that is machine washable and dishwasher safe. This 100% recyclable material (plastic symbol #3) is a blend of used shoes, scrap material, and Oka-B's own proprietary bio-based formula, which contains 45% soy by weight and is free of BPA, latex, rubber, and phthalates.

The majority of shoes sold in the United States are not recyclable, and most "recyclable" shoes are simply part of shoe redistribution programs. Oka-B, however, believes in closed-loop recycling to reduce the use of virgin material and prevent old shoes from ending up in landfills. The average pair of Oka-B sandals made this year contains 15-25% recycled material, making them a more sustainable choice than traditional disposable flip-flops.

Unlike those flimsy flip-flops, Oka-B shoes are built to last and be enjoyed season after season. The Ryann flip-flop, for example, features small sparkly starfish adornments, perfect for any beach-goer. The shape of Oka-B shoes is designed for a wide range of foot shapes, with premium arch support and a heel cup for stability and support. Soothing massage beads, as well as a waterproof and slip-resistant sole, add to the comfort and practicality of these shoes.

In terms of care instructions, Oka-B shoes are machine washable, making them easy to clean and maintain. The shoes are made in the USA, with a rubber sole and a bio-based outer material.

At Oka-B, they believe in creating a shoe that is not only stylish and comfortable but also environmentally responsible. By using recycled materials and embracing closed-loop recycling, Oka-B is working to reduce waste and decrease the environmental impact of the footwear industry. With their durable construction and thoughtful design, Oka-B shoes are a sustainable and practical choice for consumers who value quality, comfort, and a commitment to environmental stewardship.
